WIP: Utopia Cityscape Blocks 001

Published: 9-22-2023 | Updated: N/A Still workin’ on that MORE-futuristic, MORE-sci-fi-funky skyline. I’ll be using Stonemason’s Utopia Cityscape Blocks and related sets to make my hood more vibrant.

As is my style, there will be hood deco and matching “lot lamps” – the latter are for making specific lots look bigger/more vibrant. You’ll simply place the object on the lot and build in/around it.

This is “Block 10.” On the far left, is the hood deco version. The two lot-deco versions are placed on the right. The smaller one is sitting on a 2-story building.

This is “Block 13.” There is a hood deco building and a 6-story high lot version. I want to redo these so the antennas blink.

One thing I need more of? Glass/Skyscraper window textures. However, I’ve been playing with these, and I like (most of) ‘em so far.

This is “Block 08” – aka “The Big Mama” – even though it’s way too big, I think a few “too tall” buildings fit my futuristic save well enough. We’ll see….

I still have a fair amount of editing to do, but this set is 80% done. Tips from friends in the community have made that work easier. Shout out to Rachums/@ch4rmsing for teaching folks in the community how to make light-up hood deco and helping me troubleshoot. She graciously tested “Block 10” in one of her subhoods. It’s the biggest building there (which is how I realized I need to scale some of these objects down). An additional shout out is due to @lordcrumps for teaching me the L/Subset selection trick in Blender (I just wish I had known about it before I spent all of last year’s Christmas season selecting every face manually - *hangs head in shame**throws shoes*).

I spent all evening yesterday converting two mirrors. I ended up going to sleep at 2 am lol. Working on another mirror today.

Work in Progress!

I should be able to share some stuff with you very soon...

EDIT :P here we go!

[cityof2morrow]

I can whip up some trait icons for this - 128 x 64 right? So we're basically needing the hobbies/interest icons I think....photoshop is OPEN.

Just gonna throw this mod idea out there because I keep thinking about it...

I've been slowly implementing preferred sub hobbies for sims based on Pleasantsims random hobbies. Basically if a sims true hobby is sports, then you randomize sports hobbies and then basketball is their favorite, or if their true hobby is art then maybe pottery is their hobby, etc etc.

I was just thinking it would be cool to have a mod that checks their true hobby and then randomly assigns them one in their inventory, like the trait system or favorite color system.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Updated Simblr banner. A hint of what’s to come for Samhain. I’ve got my largest set ever (and I do mean ‘ever’). Stuff for every room in your creepy Samhain houses, and shoppes!

Not only am I putting the finishing touches on my Black Swan set (yep, I had to redo it because the original set didn’t turn out the way I wanted it to), but also working on an entire (and huge) recolor set just for Samhain.

Allow me to briefly explain why this day is so important to me. I am a Pagan elder. For us, this isn’t just ‘Halloween’. This is (more or less) a ‘combination holiday’. It is our New Year. It is our Halloween. It is our Memorial Day. It is our Thanksgiving. It is the day which we gather to celebrate the lives of those who have passed during the previous year. It is the day which we give thanks for a bountiful harvest. It is the day we truly start preparing for the long winter months ahead. And, it is the day we enjoy our festival of feasts to welcome our new year (which, for us, starts on November 1st - All Saint’s Day)

This is the day when we know our Mother Gaia is preparing to take her long winter’s slumber. It is when we too prepare for such a sleep, and rely on what we have harvested throughout the year, to sustain us during the cold months. Our herbs are hanging to dry. Our soup stocks are prepared, and ready to use. Fabrics have been carefully selected for use during the colder times. Food stuffs have been stocked, and stored, prepared and preserved.

As such, part of the celebrations is to give back what has been given to you. Because of this, I feel it’s only fitting to give back to the TS2 community, as much as I possibly can. Therefore, as fair warning, this Samhain set is going to be huge. I mean grand canyon sized huge. As in, my computer is already throwing profanities at me, and I’m almost certain there is a special place in Hell for me at this point. LOL

Ye have been warned! HAHAHAHA! :D

Working on converting some stuff from PBK to Syn’s werewolf shape...

[psychosim]

As you may have noticed I was kind of away over the past few months, but I’m getting back into the mood for sims. :) My first priority is to finish that space container hull project. Shown here are eight 45 degree corner pieces which create 16 differently angled surfaces, that actually looks reasonably round. I still have to do all the left corners, double corners, flat end pieces and little fixes, though.

OMG! It's real. Swimmable Pond Sims 2.... whispers [For Download]

So, @kashmiresims literally is a genius. The base/pre made swimmable pond was made by them. I did the DECO, because I'm a DECO girlie. I've had my sims swimming their butts off.

It's literally so much fun. I also love that you can see the fish swimming with them, like OMG!

So tranquil as well. So whether you're looking for some peaceful Lake/Pond nights, or a fun spot. This Lot is for you.

You can download @kashmiresims base lot and give the DECO a try in whatever style you like; find it HERE

Or, if you're a pre-made girlie, like myself, you can download my version of the Lot completed with DECO and all the trimmings. Find that here [Three Lakes Pond] for download. Enjoy!!

[Malcolm Landgraab IV] A portfolio interview by The-Pixel-Architect

Spoiled brat or innovative entrepreneur Malcolm Landgraab insist he's paved his own way and the Landgraab name is here to stay!

Malcolm, at the age of 31 years old is the youngest living Landgraab remaining. We sat down with the legacy tycoon in his sprawling new home to talk the Landgraab name shifting from real-estate to tech.

When asked about the claims his family has crushed many of their real-estate competitors why venture in tech, Malcolm's response was "why not?"

The mogul, who amidst his almost unconscious flagrant need to be bigger than life, shared some hesitation with launching his very own company. While still under Landgraab Properties, Landgraab Technologic is it's own operating venture created and maned by Malcolm.

Malcolm notes that tech and real-estate have a never ending opportunity to be great, and his company is perfect to blend the two.

Our interview ended with the fortune heir leaving his estate in a helicopter. Love them or hate them, the Landgraab's have been a staple in all of The Sims. My version of Malcolm Landgraab IV is available for download HERE

[Modest 2BR Family Home] Available for download!

This is a bit different of a build for me, I wanted to create a home for @brownsugarbabesims cute family. They are working-class, so I wanted to keep everything, even the style of the home within a budget of that.

I also wanted it to be super cosy and show life of kids and family lifestyle. The décor is very, live-laugh-love LOL

I could not remember the gender of the toddler and infant so the kids room is very neutral, but cute!

The kitchen is very modest, a FAR cry from the elaborate kitchens I usually make. But since motherlode isn't an option, I kept it simple

The parent's room also reflects the idea of family <3

@brownsugarbabesims I hope your simmies enjoy and their family thrives! If anyone else is interested in the build, find it HERE! Happy Simming!
