How to Divide an Object into Multiple Subsets in Milkshape 3D

i made my very first ever tutorial!! on how to divide an object into more than one group or subset in milkshape. this is v handy for when an object originally has one subset, but you want to make two recolorable subsets. 💕

is this helpful to anyone?? idk i hope so lol.

i did a quick written doc too, if that's more up your alley. it's more simplified than the video, but you still get the gist i think.

[twentyfourfirst-sims]

As I slowly get back into creating, I've found myself in need of more resources to streamline the process of converting. So whilst I'm re-learning all my skills, I've decided to share everything I personally wanted with you (´｡• ᵕ •｡`)

Walls are really fun to convert, but if you want to give them an extra oomph . . . well, you'll need it to have some nice skirting and coving, won't you?

Details is a PSD with wall coving + skirting pulled from the Sims 4 Base Game. It's featured on wallpapers like "Basic Darks with White Trim", amongst others. The texture was extracted and cleaned up by renorasims, then converted, tweaked and recoloured by me.

It comes in all 27 colours from my state of elegance palette and features a subtle shadow near the top (coving) and bottom (skirting) of the texture for some added depth.

Use them freely on all walls, from tiles to wallpapers, for that little bit of sophistication!

DETAILS — You will need a copy of Photoshop to open these files. It doesn't matter which version of Photoshop you have; PSDs are forwards and backwards compatible. — Credit: EA and renorasims. — There are two versions of the PSD file included: one for Windows users and one for Apple users. The Windows PSD is made for 512 x 1024 walls; the Apple PSD for 256 x 512 walls.

This is so interesting and worth the watch!

As a mostly wants-based player, I have come across some of these issues while playing premades, and even in my own custom hoods where sims are a bit more "original".

Here are some things I've started doing to spice up my gameplay and still have a more or less wants-based play style.

Aspirations are not based on my Sims' zodiacs. I assign aspirations based on personality, which includes 3t2 traits, as well as the general vibe of the Sim. This means shy sims may end up with the Romance Aspiration, and playful sims may still be Knowledge. I also only assign secondary aspirations when my sims have lived through part of their adulthood (with my aging system, this happens when they hit 30 years old). This means they will have some life experience under their belt and their secondary aspiration usually reflects that.

My ACR is tuned waaaay down. I might make cheating a bit more likely when I hit gen 2 and have more Sims in my 'hood to cause chaos with, but at the moment I keep my couples pretty faithful, just so that I don't end up with a lot of cousins and half-siblings. I don't want everyone to be related by gen 3.

Allow yourself wiggle room for a lot of storytelling! I make sure my Sims (those I made in CAS) have backstories, motivations, goals, that don't have anything to do with their in-game wants. Giving them more in-depth personalities means I can decide which wants feel more realistic for them and will make them feel more unique. It also helps me decide which romantic partners to give them, which friend group, which jobs, etc.

This is a big one!! Use the chemistry system to your advantage! Not all couples are a match, so have your Sims date one-bolters, or try to flirt with someone they DON'T have chemistry with! Do this with teens who are still figuring out romance and what they want out of a relationship!! It'll make it more fun, and it might mean they won't find their special someone until later in life if they keep running into all of the incompatible sims. You may also realize one-bolt relationships are nice too. Not all couples are super physical all the time, and that's okay. You can also use this for cheating Sims. If my sim has more chemistry with a sim that's not their partner, I may be more inclined to have them cheat.

Use a Random Occurrence Scenario generator! But don't feel obligated to actually go through with it if it'll ruin your storyline or make you not want to play! If you're bored of a family, it may be a good way to spice up the gameplay and come up with new and exciting storylines. I did make my own ROS a while back and you can use it here. The really bad/tragic scenarios are less likely to pop up as the more "tame" options. You can also google Sims 2 ROS and find popular ones that other simmers use.

Use the hobby system! If you know your sim's OTH, try to incorporate it into gameplay. Personally, I rarely ever get wants related to my Sims' hobbies so I have to nudge them in the right direction. Give them items that can help develop their enthusiasm, have them go to community lots where they can meet like-minded Sims, etc. This can lead to some pretty fun gameplay and help make your Sims feel more unique.

I really hope this helps someone with their game! If you haven't checked out baddymaddy's video, I highly suggest you give it a look and a like!

Happy simming! 💚

Another place with Great lots!!

I am always looking for places that have great lots because I am not always inspired to create and, in a pinch, these lots come in handy and require little or no tweaking. This is why I've used many from Plumbtales and other lot builders I have mentioned in the past as well. The Sims is a very time-consuming game that we set up with care and if I'm going to take a shortcut, I need to make sure that it will save me time and these lots save me time. Check them out :)

my new sclera blend for creators!

this is a @polygonbeach + @missgloomysim sclera blend with lighter center sclera from mswn.

tried to make the best of both worlds between mm & realistic, should be animation friendly. no psd because i fucked with it too much, but they come in pngs!

there's a base version with sizing similar to the originals and an "mm" one that's just moved up by 2px to match mswn sclera closer (since i plan to resclera dp's fountain eyes with it).

Download .pngs for Creators at SFS!

This is a really fantastic resource!

I'm sure this will especially help people doing a BACC. Happy Simming! 💚

A List of Community Lot Ideas by Careers

A creators resource - beanie for AF by me, combined with an edit of 4t2 LeahLillith Billie hair conversion by @amidalasims

Beanie hat & Amidala 4t2 LeahLillith Billie AF

⚠️ this is just hair mesh plus recolor template ⚠️

Recolors are HERE

Download (SFS) Total polycount: 11 K. Beanie is 1312 poly.

13.11.23 Updated - edited hat textures, TF & CF mesh added by @loosiap , btw they also did cf-af recolors for it in poppet v2

Mesh was tested in the game

FYI there are quite a few TS2 recolours for Billie hair around.

I still didn't manage to fix my Bodyshop so any time I need to make recolours I have to use an ancient, slow PC placed in unheated room.

A directory of all my uploaded Sims 2 Creations (correct as of 24th November 2023)

Hi Everyone, Over the past 2 or so years I've become quite the prolific creator. I thought it was time to compile a list of all my resources I have made publicly available on ModTheSims, my SimFileShare, and on MediaFire. In Total I have 16 downloads - 3 bodyshop items (technically more but they are either incompatible or part of sets), 3 hoods plus one Subhood Conversions, 5 lot sets, 2 Names Mods (one Serious, one Less-so), and 3 SC4 terrains. I intend to update this list as I upload more items, now I have everything in one place I might be tempted to dig some stuff out of old game saves (looking at you, lots and those clothing recolours i made).
