Hello!

How are you doing?

So I haven’t been around in the Sims community in months, but there are Sims 4 rumours now? Gosh, that makes me feel old. :P

I still get nostalgic from time to time and then I miss my little Sims worlds and the great community interaction that seriously have kept me sane during my teen years. 

Doing great now with all kinds of RL stuff. I’m still a good hippie sap and even more so. Celebrating it every day. Yay hugs for all.

But anyway, I might dip my feet in playing TS2 (or even installing 3?) again. Building up my own ‘hoods still makes me giddy with joy but it takes for-freaking-ever, so does anyone have recommendations for Sims and decorated lots?? :) (I can handle the terrain myself but would love to see what’s been created there, too!) OR what TS3 worlds are totally gorgeous?

Can I bribe you with the promise of pictures? ;)

The bay just outside Avonlea. I wandered around some hoods the other day, being in a nostalgic mood.

Since moving to America I’ve found that apparently very few Americans know all this. So I spent six hours designing a fancy photoset to explain it all. Naturally.

Slightly concerned this had to be made.

I especially love the bit about Welsh looking like a cat fell asleep on your keyboard. Secretly all cats are plotting to get the entire keyboard-owning population to speak Welsh. Wrth gwrs.

Thank you guys for all the compliments on the PV picture! To those who have been asking how to kill the magical floating trees problem, here’s some tips:

If your terrain is hilly or uneven use the tree clumps (first two options in the tree catalog) to do the most of your heavy foresting. They’re…

Reblogging for good advice on foresting your hills.

Playing around with my edited Pleasantview terrain (it needs another edit, unfortunately, but I think I’ve finally gotten the hang of making natural-looking forests on hills).

It looks fantastic!

Natural-looking forests on hills? YES.

Did you use the “forest” tree clumps for this or only single trees? The pine trees always lose their trunks in my game when I go out of the decoration tab.

Slig shared a sky-object for lots :)

My neighbourhood textures transferred to the lot version, with a new GUID too (meaning you can use it next to the original lot textures)!

The silly high mirroring “horizon” is more visible from lot view, but since I never properly understood how to edit the UV map and get a lot version done myself: if you want to see my skies right out of your Simmies windows THEY ARE RIGHT OVER THERE! Go download them! :D

So, how are you all? Having a nice new year? :D

I’m doing really well, and right now I have a short holiday in-between semesters so I thought I’d fix up that Nordic-inspired terrain a bit.

Had fun with the mountains. It’s almost done, only needs a road grid.

I think it’s going to have a couple of versions with less and more roads, as I plan on developing this one as if it’s a growing city in different stages of expansion. (Which is exciting!) :3

Eight 360° skies on Ja-viera’s ‘Skyomg’ mesh.

All files have been compressed but are still a fairly large due to the huge 4096x1024 textures.

Because it’s 360°, you’ll get a different view of the sky depending on how you rotate it.

To use, make sure your lot view distance is set to ‘extra large’ then place the mesh anywhere outside. Can be found under Decorative>Misc.

More skies! Thank you Poppet! ♥

The Holiday Love Meme 2012!

It’s back on! Spread the love and let fellow Simmers know you care about them and their creations. In this case especially true: to give love is to receive love in return! Don’t forget to leave your own name so I can tell you why I think you are amazing. ♥

The result of tonight’s livestream! I clicked around and made the earth move with impressive and (apparantly) attractive GGGGGRRRBBBDD noises under a soothing soundtrack, while the chat was having a fun time. Wonderful start to a weekend! And there’s more to watch tomorrow at Keoni’s and Jessa’s (LivLukas’s) channels! I hope to see you there in the chat :D
