There’s so many people that follow me and have no idea what I do lmao. Not to mention it’s a lot of new people here too, so lemme do an updated introduction!

Helloooooo, I’m Brooklyn! I’m director and artist. I do both traditional art and 3D art. Recently I’ve started making poorly made free cc for TS4 that you can find over on @kiricheu. I post updates on stuff I’m working on here sometimes, but most stuff you’ll see on this blog is for my machinima series, Lykaia. Every single character you see on my page (that I’ve made ofc) is from said series. Most cc I post on Kiricheu is stuff I’ve just made for the series also. I’ve played TS4 for years (since it came out actually. and the sims in general too. My first game was TS2) but since I’ve started my series creating it is the only way I play really. Everything we do over here we do for Lykaia, girl. Go watch it.

Content stuff done, now onto personal stuff! I’m an Afro-Latina who can’t speak Spanish well. (Yes. I am a disappointment lmfao) I’m from Chicago. (Southside baby <3) I’m a research psychologist. I love my job. Proud member of the APA. I’ve lived a thousand different lives already so sometimes I’ll talk about old stuff I used to do. Like modeling, fashion stuff. (I was deep in the industry for a while until I left after getting tired of creeps.) Ummm I’m bi, but I currently have a boyfriend. I talk about him sometimes. If you ever see me say “my son” I mean my dog. Don’t want kids ever. Idk what else to put lol. I like to curse. Like a lot. Idk I’m pretty vulgar, but I try to keep it tame on here somewhat. I don’t consider myself a content creator like that. Just a girl sharing the shit she does, so I do talk my fair share of shit if something bothers me. I’m nice generally though. Unless you say something stupid, racist, sexist, etc. Don’t like racists, don’t like bigots, don’t like copycats. It’s tacky behavior and I will check you, with love tho. Sometimes lol. Idk I don’t bite. Unless you want me to. Don’t tell my man I said that either. Oh! I’m also autistic so that’s that lol. Also incredibly awkward. I also like talking about pop culture stuff too sometimes. So you might see a little of that here and there. I am also very vocal about Palestine and the plight of marginalized groups, so you’ll see a lot of that too. Lots of stuff about the black experience and black activism too because offline I’m an activist. I do a lot of community outreach with a few different orgs! (Proud member of the association of black psychologists. <333 Shout out to them specifically.)

And I think that’s it. Maybe idk. Anything else you wanna know then just ask!

2023 WIP Graveyard

I made a ton of stuff this year, but not all of it made the cut for Occtober! Here lies those attempts:

AF BG Cargo Pants

My plan for the year was to complete a project a week for 31 weeks, but some were faster than others, and some (like this one) ran over:

I couldn't quite get the texture I wanted for these! I also split the inner side seams slightly off for some reason, which made adding that camo print an exercise in patience. x) Will definitely be unwrapping and painting again in the future!

AM/TM Geometric Glasses

I tried to finish a 2022 project of some glasses modelled from reference, and got all the way to the preview stage before noticing the broken alpha layering! As far as I can tell it's due to unconnected mesh parts, maybe?

Off-shoulder Panel Dress & Heels

An attempt at making a dress I own irl- I repainted the wrinkles on this sooooooo many times...

Also reshaped some TS2 Store heels to go with it, but ultimately ran out of time again.

Pet Water Bowl

A first poke at BHAVs/anims to add the 'drink from puddle' interactions to bowls. Dogs worked out great, but cats…

…were cats. xD

Afro Puff Redux

Another low-poly experiment to try and recreate ModishKitten's 'Cloud Puff' hair. Two texture styles looked strange together, but I'm not feeling the all-over texture either? One day…

EF Above-Knee Skirt with Cardigan & Boots

Technically this shouldn't be here, but it almost got some woollen tights! Very cosy, but figured grandma could show some leg. xD

Would love to make some tutorials in the coming year to share the meshing/painting knowledge I gained over this time!

[whysim]

do you have any good afros for ts2? i'm trying to make domino from deadpool 2, and am coming up short on the hair!

Aladdin Mona V2 converted to TS2 by RascalCurious –in Poppet V2 and mesh edit

I used Poppet’s v2 natural and unnatural colours + BerryNooboos’ cosmic, Wyxii’s mint, Furbyq’s afterglow and PMG’s amphitrite. Texture blended with Nouk’s Afro texture. For mesh edit I lowered the hair to be closer to the scalp as this is my preference (difference shown below). I didn’t make it into a new completely mesh so you can still get RascalCurious’ original mesh instead if you prefer.

Polycount 6k; female frame; teen-elder; all categories; grey binned to black; all natural colours binned in 1 file; my edited mesh included; files compressed

DOWNLOAD: MF | SFS

UPDATED 2024.03.14: Now there’s 10 unnaturals instead of 8.

[windermeresimblr]

My unscientific definition is that Maxis-Match is anything made by Maxis, or developed from Maxis meshes and Maxis textures, which does not jarringly stand out against the game. Hair, skin, and eyes should be matte and not overly detailed, while improving upon the lackluster textures of the base game and increasing the tone ramp range. (I make exceptions for Afro-textured hair that’s not obscenely high poly, because Sims of color seem to get the short end of the stick in the hair department.) 

TSM conversions? Maxis-Match. 

TS4 and TS2 conversions? Maxis-Match.

Texture-chopping of items from the Store? Maxis-Match.

Dragon Age Origins conversions? Maxis-Match, since they used TS2 proportions and models for CAS content!

If it’s converted from TS2 or TS4 cc, proceed with caution; Brnt Waffles’ “Blueberry Pie” skin is Maxis-Match, but almost everything created by Katvip is Alpha. “Fresh Blue” would be Maxis-Mix, since Ephemera’s skins are more Alpha although from the earlier Alpha stages where skins didn’t cross the uncanny valley.

So... how do we define MM anyways?

I'm putting this query out there, because ever since I created that list, I keep thinking of various people and going... are they Maxis Match? Or are they not?

I feel like MM is not as huge a thing in Sims 3 as it seems to be in TS2 and TS4, my personal CC collection is more maxis-mix and most of the creators I'm aware of don't actually list anywhere whether they're MM or Alpha, and a lot of them do both.

I have definitely a few criteria which disqualify from being MM:

1 - Photo-skinned items/clothing are not MM. Too different visually. 2 - Clothing made in MD (marvelous designer) is typically disqualified because it doesn't match the style OR the needed poly counts. 3 - I don't have a firm guide on what polycounts ought to be in order to be MM, but if they're high enough to cause gameplay issues, it's probably not MM. (I found a guide on Sims Wiki that gives some Polycount guidelines.) 4 - Anything overly realistic (like paintings for the wall that use RL photos and don't make them look like paintings) is not MM.

On the other hand, my criteria for saying something is MM:

1 - It was created by cloning an EA mesh and making small changes to that mesh or texture. 2 - Polycounts should be low enough to be comparable to or not much higher than EA items of similar complexity/size. However, I think hair, even from back in the day, breaks this rule. 3 - Style and visual look should be similar enough to official items that they blend well and it's hard or impossible to tell the difference.

Is this good enough for guidelines? Do the rest of you ever think about this? xD What guidelines do you use? Can lots and worlds that use CC be considered MM if the CC they use is MM?

Sidenote: That Wiki article basically says even complex hairs should be under 10k poly. And yet these days most conversions are 15k, 20k, or a lot of them are actually over 30k.
