My beloved pet

Amy Lowell - Aubade

“As I would free the white almond from the green husk
So would I strip your trappings off,
Beloved.
And fingering the smooth and polished kernel
I should see that in my hands glittered a gem beyond counting.”

Sugar and Spice: peggy 051 recolors

I always liked this mesh but never found textures that I really liked (if there is a nouked version around, I never found). So, I made some new textures with my new awesome photoshop plugins. Family and color binned, the silver hair appear as blond.




Download here. Mesh is included (fixed version).

July77 conversions

I decided to re-post several of my old files, so stay tuned for more posts.

I downloaded these beautiful clothes made by July77 but I detested the body mesh…



… so I converted them to use some meshes I like better.



I made some mix and match with pieces of Aikea Guinea´s textures to fit better what I wanted to make.



DOWNLOAD HERE. Meshes by Aikea Aguinea, Alex.S, Yeka and Nalin included.

Colors in the Sky

Some people still want this. So...



The original object was made by Chris997 at MTS2. My recolor is just a recolor of Chris9997's file images, you can NOT use both at the same time because is the same file.

To see the sky in full glory you need to set the neighborhood view in the maximum size.

Download here.

Some old knowledgement and some old but loved downloads

Sometimes I like to read again about old things that I learned a long time ago, when I worked in a internet server for the first time, back in the 90's. At that time we had to learn so much because the process to make webpages was not so simple as it is in these days. I spent more than 10 years of my life making sites, is something I really enjoyed.
This article is so interesting, I recommend the reading: Proxy servers.
Did you know that you can use a high level security proxy server and browse the internet anonymously because the proxy doesn't send any  data package and don't identify the IP? It's so easy to use, you can configure in, like, 20 seconds. You can enable or disable the use with a simple click and they don't slow down your connection. Really nice. It improves your security while browsing.

In a non related note, I'm glad I could find some of the old Bosie's creations at GOS. Bosie is one of my fav sims creators <3

Too many seating!!

Another request.

I spent a lovely time at Simvention, a couple of years ago. It was one of the nicest sims forums, I loved everything in the time that I spent there: the contests, the chatting, the adorable people. I don't know what happened to Simvention because I went offline before the site disappear and when I returned, the site wasn't there anymore. I really miss.

One of the sweetest persons at Simvention was Destin. He was lovely and very talented. I always loved to make recolors of his objects. So I bring you the several recolors that I made for the chair/sofa/ottoman meshes that he made. It was posted in my old blog and Destin loved these recolors. (if you are lurking around, Destin, I want you to know that I miss you very much!)




to the goodies! )

Wedding Cakes Project - part 02

More wedding cakes for your sims. Basis by Eris3000. Tested with BG, NL, UNI, OFB, Seasons, BV and FT. Meshes are not necessary because these are clones, they work standalone. They don't replace the original cakes, so you can have them both in your game.

Tutorial: How to make customized servos without default replacements

I just installed my Pixel-Trade alien hood and, of course, I needed customized servos. I simply hate how the servo look like and I wanted some cool robots instead. I also like variety. I would love to have more than one model of servo and with default replacements "you can only have one" at time. So I just used an old technique that I discovered years ago by accident.



This is how the servo at the right becomes the servo at the left:

1.
You will need: robotic skin and invisible clothes. MTS2 have some nice skins, this one in the picture is from there (search for "robot"). You can find invisible clothes at SexySims2.
2. Create a family of 2 sims: one adult male and one female. Those will be your models. Just create them. You don't need to play them if you don't want nor even add them in a lot. Just let them in the family bin. Don't delete them in-game! This will make your hood broke!
3. Create your servo. Or more than one.
4. Now close the game and open the hood at SIMPE. Use the tool Sim Surgery to make the magic. The servo will be the patient sim and the sim that you created with the robot skin will be the archetype sim. Your servo will now look like the robot sim that you made. If you don't know how to perform sim surgery, check this tutorial.
5. You can change the sim you made with the robotic skin using SIMPE or simsurgery too. You just need to edit the line inside the sim corresponding to the sim skin to the regular default skin value. There is a tutorial to how to do it here.

With this method you get a pair of spare sims, that is true, but you can repeat the process with different models and have several different servos in your hood with different appearances - which I personally consider an advantage.

I never waiste the 2 extra sims. I use them as archetypes over and over. I change them to use different skins with SIMPE and make facial surgery (inside the game) to change their faces to have different servos. So, IMHO is not a problem to have 2 extra sims in the hood. They are useful.

I hope you find this tutorial useful for you!
