Mel rambling about stuff

I'm pretty close to a follower milestone. I have never cared about the counts, likes, any of that stuff. But it is significant, so let's celebrate you guys. I made a bunch of stuff for my North Bend save. Wasn't going to share it because I wasn't going to make stuff. lol But someone might find it useful. I have most of the pictures gathered. Just need to sort the files out and get them grouped and actually make the post (the worst part of cc sharing 🙈). I'll try and get the post queued starting this week sometime.

About the lots I've built, I decided not to share them. It's been a really long time since I shared builds and I use way too many pattern and other cc to be able to share them. But if you want to recreate them...be my guest. Or if you need to know what cc something is, I can most of the time track it down and share the creator or link it....

Still having fun playing North Bend. Playing when I feel like it and putting the post in a queue have helped me enjoying the experience this time. Oh and not pressuring myself to make or share cc. Although, I have been doing the cc for myself. I think that has helped me stay interested and not burn out.

And in real life....

made some banana date walnut bread that turned out divine!

Oh and Coco says hi!

I've been playing my Paix & Mhenheli sims in a medieval style save, and it's been fun decorating their house. This is Paix's desk.

BG Turtleneck - 4t3 (sorta) conversion

Yeah, I lied about needing to rest :P OK, no, I was doing a makeover on a Sim and I noticed I had no simple tight turtleneck for female sims, and the basegame sweater didn't count, so I just baked the diffuse of a TS4 turtleneck (a sweater, tight but still a sweater) on a TS3 basegame mesh (the one with the striped shirt and the red spaghetti strap top). Problem solved :P

EA Kelp as Edible Raw Meat for Vampires (Nona Dried Food Mod REQUIRED)

If you use the Nraas Hybrid mod to make mermaid-vampire sims, it's a headache getting them to eat a effing thing that's not plasma-based. So I took EA's Kelp mesh and slapped Nona's script on it, to make it "raw food" that can fill a vampire's Thirst need. (I HIGHLY recommend also using Nona's other raw foods--there's a nice juicy fish vamps can eat, which I used in my IWTV post here.)

Severinka Hippocampus as IP EP Jetski (IP EP REQUIRED)

(The harness mesh was shamelessly ripped/reshaped from Mermaidia's Seahorse Taxi. I didn't place the handles as well as I probably should have, but oh frikkin well.) I was too lazy to make this fully recolorable (you can kinda sorta recolor it, since I put the textures in the Multiplier not the Overlay)--but it does come in 4 color variations:

TheVintageSim Fringe Hammock REDONE (Functional Loveseat)

I've been wanting this decor hammock as a functional loveseat for frikkin ever. This gameplay gave me the perfect excuse to bite the bullet and make it. The mesh is rescaled to fit EA loveseats. Fully recolorable, comes in multiple variations, like the original.

Pocci's Jellyfish

I was so jealous that Pocci remade their TS3 Jellyfish ceiling lights for TS4 without the obnoxious strings dangling from the ceiling, so I went and made their Jellyfish 01 & 02 stringless myself. Then I made the Jellyfish as a Teddy Bear. The clipping & joints aren't great, but it works and I'm tired.

Venus Girdle Inspired Table Light

It's amazing, the kind of IRL deep-sea critters you learn about, just by reading mermaid fanfiction.

Wall Mosaics 1x5

They come in a bunch of variations. Two are based on IRL portions of the Madaba Map, for no good reason, other than I just needed a medievalesque mosaic map #ForReasons.

Ivy as Ceiling Light

I made sure there were no backfaces on the ivy mesh, so you could still see inside the lot from a bird's eye view. (I used these with the TW3 Bulb Lights I converted here.)

Simszoo Tree REDONE (RECOLORABLE as Outdoor Light)

I made this tree recolorable and an outfoor light--I wish I knew how to make only the leaves glowe, not the whole frikkin trunk. Ah well.

Pocci Sakura Vase REDONE (Translucent)

All I did was change the texture of the flowers so they were crystal/see-through.

And that's that!

Vavel Vacationaries: CC-Free Community Lot

When I was messing with TS3 during my yearly brief revisit of it, I tried out the resort management gameplay from Island Paradise. I always like to make a single adult sim to try out the huge amount of features TS3 has, and for resort management I went with a 1980s businesswoman.

Long story short, that sim and the pre-built resort I had her running inspired me to try to shoddily adapt that concept into TS2.

So this is a community lot, sorta designed like a tropical hotel/resort, but mostly just for aesthetics as it's not a "real" hotel (ie not zoned as one in-game, so the front desk object does nothing, it's just for decoration). There are 4 beds though, and if you do want to have a longer vacation-type experience on the lot you'd need the Sleep on Community Lots mod to have sims be able to use the beds.

Going along with my resort management inspiration, I tested out having this lot as an owned business, but it was pretty boring because sims would stand around thinking about buying a ticket from the Electrono-Ticket Machine, and once they did they would all go over to the Taste of the Tropics Food Stand and stand around thinking about buying food, and almost all of them would end up leaving the lot before they even bought any food. They literally didn't do anything else lol.

Soooo yeah that didn't work out, it was more fun to play it as a normal unowned community lot - And just pretend that it's owned by the sim I made, I guess.

TS4 to TS3 Hair Conversion Tutorial

Here's a vid about how I make my hair conversions! It's sorta rambly and unnecessarily long but I hope it's thorough enough to understand. I also made available two new resources by me: my folder containing all the reference meshes i use (so you don't have to spend 3839 billion hours exporting them yourself) and templates with the sims 3 body, scalp, and face combined into one. Enjoy!

[sdmsims]

I hope you don't mind me asking, but how's the anime head conversion going? I saw the post about all the parts and I, too, would become Jigsaw. BTW the latest WIPs look really really good & that's why I'm so excited...Finally!! No more ugly YF, YM, AF, and AM

was gonna rest for a bit because i’m sorta Fried after. all that but! was going to finalize the sliders and then throw it into the wild* for alpha testing

keep in mind the alpha head:

- will only be YF - AF, because i want to get feedback about the slider and shape capabilities BEFORE making all of them for men and other ages. because i don’t wanna make them all and then end up having to redo them all HDHDHSHBD

- does NOT come with any lods outside of lod0 - again, don’t wanna make all the sliders for the lods and then end up needing to redo them. proper lods will be added for the polished release! additionally, the lod0 is significantly higher poly than the base ts3 head (override is ~5k, og is ~2k)

- will not come with makeup overrides yet, because again i wanna make sure everything else is final

- will override every yf-af sims head in the game. the slider overrides will also override every default slider. do not test the head on saves u care about at this stage. it also probably won’t play nice with custom face sliders, but custom body sliders should be safe from my testing

- may be haunted in other ways i’m not aware of

also

*i was likely going to keep the dl to discord for alpha stage, simply because it’d be easier to get feedback and also i know despite me yeling ‘ITS UNFINISHED DONT DOWNLOAD WILLY NILLY AND THEN CRY TO ME WHEN SOMETHING EXPLODES’ people would just download it haphazardly anyways..

i know there’s people who are shy though so if you have even just an empty ‘i’m only here for cc’ type of blog, i wouldn’t mind doing similar over tumblr messaging

Lame question, but I've been trying to figure out how to pose my TS3 sims for portraits - do you have any tutorials on how to do that? Or maybe links to others? Your stuff always looks amazing, it'd be awesome to learn how to do it as well

It's not a lame question but a good question to help you learn. If you are looking for a basic how to guide I recommend modfrenzy's guide to posing because they provide a good explanation of what you need, the technical how to do it, what cheats are recommended, etc.

Also graphic settings for the game are a factor. Mine are on the highest setting for sims as well as I'm using a Gshade preset so my game looks different in general.

If you're interested in how i do it, I sorta left a "how to" down below.

So when I take photos, I've really just combined other simblr's processes and just put my spin on them.

This is my basic lighting set up in game. I use @nectar-cellar's set up as a guide for my ideal.

This is what it looks like in Tab/ camera mode. After selecting the pose and before I'm about to take a screenshot, I turn the camera the long way or make the camera vertical ( SHIFT + A or SHIFT+ D). I got the idea from noelyely or now @tau1tvec

So it goes from this:

To this:

I get up all in my sims face and take photos. I'm just focusing on what I want reflected for my sim's personality so I choose poses and expressions that suit them. I take MULTIPLE shots from different angles and with different poses.

When I get into editing, I have to turn the photo right side up. Use some photoshop magic and then boom!

She done.

That's all I be doing. I hope that helps!

anyways since i'm on a headcanon rambling kick. I don't really consider much of ts3 to be canon in my own lore (but that is another ramble) BUT i do put stock in both simis bachelor and alex goth having the neurotic trait. which is sorta a lame pop culture ocd-anxiety-vaguely-paranoid situation in game but in the theater of my mind it is genuinely a genetic mental illness deal and all that. and to me Bella also has it to a much more tightly-controlled degree especially since she's a very public-facing figure + is A Woman so of course god forbid women do anything etc but it probably somehow works into her going missing eventually (i dont actually have a real bella goth disappearance theory tbh). i sorta wander between what exactly it would be if it was a diagnosis and what exactly the symptoms are (generally its more in an anxious + morally scrupulous way but i do sometimes want to think it could go in more of a true paranoia/delusional direction idk whatever strikes) but idk. the bachelors have got that bloodline curse for sure.

as for if michael has it i'm also not consistent about. i've never narratively focused on him beyond being married to dina + being a Mess who partied to an early grave. which could have been to cope with that but idk

anyways there's a sort of micro-tragedy to me in that even if bella never went missing and he led a perfectly "normal" life alexander was still going to age into a mental health struggle, albiet one that would have probably been caught + dealt with sooner. but bella went messing and set off the dominoes to make Everything Worse yippeeee

[novapark]

So much like with my current ts3 game, I sorta want to spearhead things with a new family. So we're starting out with Allison as a University student.

[griffincloud]

So basically, for the past month or so, I've had an OC/Fursona MAP (Multi-Animator Project) idea stuck in my head to the song "Dance 'Til You Stop" by Ninja Sex Party and Tom Cardy. And basically the MAP premise is that there's a party in this house with all of the characters featured in the background being people's fursonas (including non-participants if they give permission, such as participant's friends, also with no restriction on whether the characters have to be Feral or Anthro. I think it could be fun to see Feral and Anthro Sonas interacting)

So like any normal person would do, I made the aforementioned house in The Sims... 3... (The Sims 3 is the best Sims game, okay. Also, I just already had it installed and didn't want to re-install The Sims 4 for this alone and then uninstall it afterwards)

Exterior (roughly, only so much I can do in the Sims with a pre-built town and my knowledge -- or lack-thereof -- of terrain tools. I honestly imagined the house being on a hill in a heavily forested area with a cliff at the back of the building that led to a view of a secluded beach)

Entrance (Door next to stairs is a bathroom; door to the left is a formal living/sitting room; door to the right is what is usually the more informal living room that would have the TV and things like that but have had the objects moved out)

I imagine the things from the bigger living room are in the room behind the DJ Table and that there's a curtain over the archway

Formal living room (and adjacent rooms: the dining room and the kitchen)

Pool/porch in the back

Upstairs (Wouldn't be used/seen in the MAP, but I just liked the rooms I did)

Guest Bedroom

Parents' Bedroom (and Office)

Teen or Young Adult Bedroom

Not particularly planning on hosting it anytime soon as a) I'm not sure there would be any interest for this sort of thing b) I'm currently already hosting a MAP and would like to only host one MAP at a time c) This would require a lot of people/submissions of Fursonas that people would be okay having in the background. While I would expect some repeats, I'd like a lot of variety, and I don't think I could be able to find that many people at the moment d) This would require a LOT of coordination and organization, and I'm not experienced enough to host something like that just yet so for now I'll just ramble about it here. I also sorta just wanted to have an excuse to post a TS3 build I'm proud of (and I don't play TS3 anymore enough to warrant starting a TS3 sideblog)
