This Is Funny Because They Were All Confirmed As Pansexual.

Hello guys! First of all happy new year ! Hope you had a great time out there :) 🎆

Today I'm writing this to explain why decimation of Sims 4 meshes is paramount while converting stuff. You know me, I don't like to make statements as english isn't my first language and I find it difficult sometimes to actually write things down - even in italian I struggle sometimes lol. BUT I think this would be useful to all the cc converters and creators out there. So please, take this as an advice, for the sake of our oldie and beloved Sims 3.

Little backstory: I was casually browsing tumblr the other day and stumbled across a beautiful food set converted from Sims 4 - which I immediately saw was high quality. Just for curiosity I downloaded it, checked the polycount of a random object (if you're new here it's the total number of polygons found in a three-dimensional model) and it had way too many polys: 28k vertices - 34k faces + 4096x4096 textures.

Sims 3 is quite an old game now. Every player had experienced lag and glitches at some point so it's very, very important to make the stuff you create/convert from other games suitable for it! Here comes to the rescue a super useful tool in blender called decimation. It basically "allows you to reduce the vertex/face count of a mesh with minimal shape changes", as said on blender website. In just 2 minutes and with not so much effort I was able to reduce those polygons down to 8,4k vertices - 7,4k faces. Do you see any difference? I don't honestly.

Optimization is the key. Converting from sims 4 is not just taking the mesh and textures and putting them all in Sims 3. I wish it was tho!

You're free to put whatever you want in your game but you have to think about the game performance as well. There are people who still play the game and as an ex player I got really upset when I had laggy gaming sessions.

Having said that, here's a tut about blender and the decimation tool, done by @simaddix and which I think covers every important aspect of that useful tool.

If you read this all, thank you! Now I can go back to convert new stuff :D

Looks like, to me, that there's an issue with the bone placement or something. Honestly I would see if the shoes are weird in-game or if it's just CAS, then check if the cc creator is still active and knows the issues.

You could also download a lighting mod or different background if that helps aswell.

Why the shoes I download are often shitty in my CAS?

I wish to fix this but I don't know how.

Just remembered it was Eddie fucking Diaz that restarted Buck's heart.

This reminded me I finally have Hulu again and can rewatch my favs ♥️♥️♥️♥️

we’re 24 hours out and that feels like a lifetime so i might just have to rewatch all the pivotal buddie episodes tonight to cope 🧐

I’m getting so frustrated with the amount of sims 3 cc not being tagged correctly. Like if you make something that teen sims can wear, TAG sims 3 teen clothing or something.

This started as a tweet I made but grew I to my full feelings for Buck and his romantic relationships:

The writers likely didn't mean this, but Buck getting into relationships after a traumatic event is him regressing. It's him not dealing with his trauma. Not to mention he's always had a difficulties with relationships since s1. The most development we got was him being in a serious relationship after a direct trauma rather than hooking up with people because of a difficult upbringing.

Which is also why I think Ali is more liked as Buck's girlfriend, because from what I can remember, she was the only one who left after he got severely hurt and didn't start dating him after he went through a trauma. Abby started seriously talking to him after Buck couldn't save the man in the rollercoaster, Taylor got with him after Eddie was shot, and Natalia was first interested in Buck because he died and only came back after he got hurt again.

Not to mention Buck's obsession with sex in s1 and when we later learn he got attention from his parents through hurting himself. He's always been regressing.

The biggest reason there has been no change is because for Buck to see worth in himself is him not dating the girls he think will be the next to help him after a trauma; but that goes against the heterosexual nature some writers push for Buck, and if he sees that none of those girlfriends or hook-ups ever saw him for who he is, eventually he would realize that he always had someone who knew him head and heart. But because that someone is a man, people working on the show will never let that be the finale to Buck being with someone who fully understood and was content with him as him through and through.

Never liked Fox anyways

Something about Eddie telling his own wife to be silent when she was dying, but begging Buck to respond and talk to him when he was actually dead makes me a little insane.

I feel like we all need to learn that some thoughts are best kept to ourselves....

Ah, but isn't the drama between waiting between episodes exciting? Scrolling through wwdits tags is my second favorite thing to do.

honestly fuck netflix and other companies that followed suit in dropping entire seasons in one day because i’m so used to that now that it’s painful when i have to wait for other shows to be released for months one episode at a time
