Short notice that I likely won’t be very active until mid-february. Between preparing for 6 exam in the span of 12 days (one of which I CAN’T fail), one reader’s diary I haven’t even started on and one oral presentation, taking care of my mother who is semi-dependent on us since 2013 after a broken foot -among other health problems- and helping around the house, there won’t be much time for simming, I fear. But I’ll be still around, lurking, liking and maybe even commenting. See y’all in february!
*sighs- and that’s only my third semester out of 6…*
Hey look, I actually managed to remove shoes on another mesh with strangetomatos’ help! Baby steps, but I’m getting there! (I’m currently working with Paint, for crying out loud!)
(Anyone want to guess which what project I’m currently obsessed with? The “privileges” of a short attention span…)
I CAN RECOLOR STUFF!!! (Using Picasa and Paint XD)
Now on to the next thing… how do I get rid off the body paint?
That was my initial idea for the Holiday Classics Meme! Problematic thing: it’s not really a holiday thing (I guess… I’m not very familiar with the ‘holiday’ definition). It’s a german cult classic which is aired every New Year’s Eve… multiple times in many adaptions (one involves a humanoid talking bread, a bush and a sheep… Don’t ask). It’s an english skit originally, but I don’t think it’s popular outside of Germany.
Dinner for one
Ms. Sophie (played by an aged up Natasha Una) celebrates her 90th birthday with her closest friends. Unfortunatly they are all already dead, so her loyal butler James (John Mole) is doing his best to let her relive the good old times. She enjoys a five course dinner with her imaginary friends and James is advised to toast her before every meal in place of her dead friends. There are five meals and four toast per meals, so it gets wacky soon. James also has a little feud going on with the tiger fur on the ground- he tends to trip over it. It’s really wacky and funny and very beloved in my country.
I’m not sure if I can put it in the ‘Holiday Classics Meme’… Ah, heck, I’m doing it. If it doesn’t fit, it won’t be reblogged. Also, I’m sorry for the wall of text…
Reblogging an old picture because I forgot to prepare anything for New Years Eve!
This mod fixes sims’ shadows shown as black rectangles. Unlike original shadows, these are black, not blue. There are three versions which differ in opaque (see the screenshot below) – choose only one. Even if your game renders sims’ shadows correctly, you can still use this mod.
Restoring shadows You probably turned (sims’) shadows off, when a problem with black rectangles occured. To make this mod useful you have to turn them back on. Here’s how to do it: In game: set Shadows setting in Graphics/Performance Options to high. If you still cannot see sims’ shadows, in Graphics Rules.sgr (in [Latest EP/SP folder or basegame folder if you don’t have any EPs or SPs]TSDataResConfig) find option Shadows. This is what you’d see:
setting $High boolProp simShadows false ← if there is false, change to true boolProp objectShadows true boolProp guob true boolProp heightMapShadows true end
You have to delete boolProp simShadows false and boolProp simShadows off from userStartup.cheat (in DocumentsEA GamesThe Sims 2 (or The Sims™ 2 Ultimate Collection)Config) too, if this file exist and these lines are in it.
Known bugs Sim shadows overlap and cut simetimes, but it isn’t caused by the mod.
