okay not sure how to approach this gently but say that, hypothetically, you own some essential oil sprays purchased from a huge department store chain. and there is a recall because they contain deadly disease causing bacteria that has confirmed deaths and has infected and killed who knows how many people because of how rare and difficult to diagnose it is in the united states:

do not throw out the bottles. do not dump the product in the toilet. do not allow the deadly bacteria into the soil, water supply, or landfills. it is an extreme biohazard. do not throw it out. do not throw it out. do not open the bottles.

put on gloves, double bag it tightly in resealable bags, put it in a cardboard box, and give it back to any of the chain's stores. disinfect everything in the room where it was used while wearing gloves. wash sheets and blankets on hot. consider using bleach.

Thank you for following and supporting me! 🫶🏻🪷

Woah! It's so sweet and encouraging that two hundred individual humans enjoy what I post. I don't even know that many people! Awh, thank you for stickin' around (especially when I don't post for awhile) I love y'all! (⁠･ั⁠ω⁠･ั⁠)🫶

I recolored one of my favorite rugs in the game (the stones of stepping) to better match 4t2 foliage and decor. I haven't seen anything like this out there, so here's my 'lil thank you to y'all! 💛

The goodies can be found under the cut 🪨

I love the original maxis swatches, but I have so much 4t2 cc in my game, it's a little ridiculous, bwahah. You can see the differences between maxis' and mine. It's kinda subtle, but I feel like mine look a little more rounded and less flat. The one thing I'm a bit annoyed with is the fact that my recolors are a tad darker than kayleigh-83's rocks, but I can live with that. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

UPDATE! Thanks to kayleigh-83, I was able to make these match her rocks, yaaay! I've updated SFS and it's all good! 😆💛

Differences between DXT5 / DXT3 / DXT1

The images above are all imported with SimPe's Built DXT... option, and then exported for previewing. The short version is:

You can't go wrong with DXT5 :)

I'll go through the differences under the cut.

DXT5

Supports transparency (alpha channel)

Preserves texture details well

Smooth gradient transparency

Filesize of the vase texture: 25 KB Filesize of the plant texture with gradient alpha channel: 26 KB Filesize of the plant texture without the gradient part: 20 KB

Useful for: textures that are solid or have a complex alpha channel.

Shouldn't be used for: –

DXT3

Supports transparency (alpha channel)

Preserves texture details well

Causes stripes on alpha channel gradients

Filesize of the vase texture: 25 KB Filesize of the plant texture with gradient alpha channel: 20 KB Filesize of the plant texture without the gradient part: 19 KB

Useful for: textures that are solid or have a well-defined alpha channel.

Shouldn't be used for: textures with alpha channel gradients.

DXT1

Doesn't support transparency (no alpha channel)

Pixelates texture details

Filesize of the vase texture: 21 KB Filesize of the plant texture: 14 KB

Useful for: solid one color textures with no details.

Shouldn't be used for: detailed textures, textures with transparency.

Both textures l used are 256x256. They came from TS4, thanks to @tvickiesims for extracting the textures! I added the gradient bit to the plant one.

Sims 2, all ages blender animation template!

This should be the second and final version of the Sims 2 blender animation templates, with few fixes and all ages included. GET IT HERE: https://simfil.es/1651562/ If you are wondering why there’s no teen age, that’s because of how game handles teen skeleton. More detailed explanation can be found here: http://modthesims.info/t/239172 KNOWN ISSUES: - Pole control is a bit clunky, be careful of how you use them - Head rotates 180 degrees once parent bones are rotated below local X axis - Head does not rotate on Y axis if you rotate parent bones These I tried to fix but they don’t seem to be fixable for what I want to achieve. Luckily they are minor things so they won’t be of big nuisance. If you find anything weird or broken that is not listed here, contact me and I will try to fix whatever it is.

There goes that first baby bump!! I’m really hoping it’s not twins because I don’t think I’m mentally ready for this again.. ;;

4t2 HautFashionSims Flamingo Earrings Conversion

The moment I learned Betty Buttercup’s biography said “Heir to an inexplicably large pink flamingo fortune.” I’ve been a little obsessed with finding flamingo themed content for her. I had a hard time finding these, finally landing myself on this post, which seems to be a reblog of the original creator, hautfashionsims. It seems they aren’t around anymore? I don’t know. If they want me to take this down, I will.  The original polycount for this was nearly 47k, which was mostly because of the chain. I removed the flamingo to retain its quality before lowering the poly all the way down to 2k. I’m surprised I got it down that much, but it looks fine to me. I also made the chain shorter.

Welcome to the Bellflower Legacy! Pictured above is our lovely founder, Angela Bellflower. She’s an artist who decided to move to an empty plot in Desiderata Valley to live out her peaceful lifestyle. She’s a family sim, so she wants to have kids, grandkids, and the whole nine yards (with a picket fence!) but hasn’t found the right sim yet...

I’m playing my own version of the legacy challenge, with rules that will be listed below.

Essentially, all of the basic rules apply (one heir per generation, must stay on the same 5x5 lot, all heirs must be genetically related to the founder, etc.) BUT with modifications because why not. Those modifications are:

- The heir MUST have Angela’s purple skin

- You can marry whoever you want, -1 point for pre-made or mr. big (instead of them having to be only townies). This is going to become relevant really soon here.

-The founder and heirs are not allowed to get jobs, instead they must find other ways. Spares and spouses can, if I feel like it.

I’ll tally points at the end of each generation to see where we’re at. Otherwise everything is the same as a normal legacy challenge. I may decide to add handicaps/other challenges as I go.

@ridgeport‘s juicy tracksuit is now semi-successfully converted to the sims 2, thanks to some angry determination and a lot of help with the top from @socialbunny!!! also fulfilling a special request for my friend @mistysensation 💖

A LITTLE STEP

This is a small update to follow with the Sims 4 Vampires Conversions. 10 objects in total. A Modular Stairs (Recolorable with 2 subsets), but with no post, you’ll see why in the pictures. But I made a Post to complete the stairs (Shiftable with AL, and you have to use “moveobjects on” and “setQuarterTilePlacement on” cheats to place it correctly. And 8 fences to match the stairs. It’s not perfect but I did my best as always, and are my first modular stairs. I hope you like it and enjoy it so much. Happy simming!!! Kalimero78.

As you can see,  if i had done the stairs with posts, the position if you build a stair  L-shaped (form), the post have a strange form because the post is not a square, so I’ve decided to make a modular stairs without posts and make an individual post adjustable to match the correct position.
