31st-May-2010 10:57 pm - Default Replacement Hair Textures - Set Four
TS3 - Aikea & Jacob - Vampires 1


Even more more default replacement hair textures. This set has four female and two male styles.

Suggestions of what you'd like to see retextured are appreciated, though no promises are made on when I'll actually get around to making them (I do plan to retexture all the base game meshes at some point).

My muscles break when I split in two because I can't stay here with you... )

Do whatever you want with these, but keep it off paysites and don't claim the work as your own. The rushing in of ghosts and shards of disbelief rammed into my head. The way I break the mirrors now.

TS3 - Aikea Distressed


More default replacement hair textures. This set has four male and two female styles. I'd originally done a couple other female styles, but once I got them in game, they looked a little silly so I'll be fixing those up and releasing them later.

There's a real square cat, he looks nineteen seventy four... )

TS3 - Aikea & Jacob - Vampire Cover


You know, most of the default hair meshes that came with TS3 aren't really all that bad. I decided that I really love the hair texture I came up with, so I thought I'd start working it onto the base game meshes that are more or less just taking up space for me at this point.

I wasn't really sure how to get previews of these, but trust me that they really do look good in all natural colors. I've done four male and two female hairs so far, and do have plans to tackle several more before all is said and done. Suggestions of what you'd like to see retextured are appreciated, though no promises are made that I'll actually get around to fixing them up.

I did an alpha edit of the male 'emo' hair, and have included that as a bonus of sorts. I have a thing for partially shaved hairstyles, ok?!

The chances are we've gone too far... )

Do whatever you want with these, but keep it off paysites and don't claim the work as your own. Our valued destiny comes to nothing. I can't tell you where we're going; I guess there's just no way of knowing.

24th-May-2010 04:00 pm - Sugar - Modified Base Game Hair for Males
TS3 - Tristan - Smile


When TS3 was first released, I messed around with one of the hairs just to see how things worked. Back then, it was a default replacement and used the game's textures, and was generally just very experimental. I spent some time last week getting it fixed up with a new texture and a LOD 1 and 2 that actually match LOD 0, and now I'm releasing it into the wild. Fly free, little hair! Fly free!

Er... anyway... it's available for Teen-Elder males, and is a stand-alone mesh.

Sweet boy if they find you out... )

Do whatever you want, just keep it off paysites and don't claim you made it. Textures were originally by Sims2Heaven, but heavily edited by me. Don't say morning's come, don't say it's up to me.

24th-May-2010 03:48 pm - Self Deception - Zipper-Detailed Pants for Teen and Adult Males
TS3 - Jacob - Smiling


I was staring blankly at a bunch of the CC I'd made for TS2 when I came across some plaid pants with zippers on them. I really liked them, so I decided to make a version for TS3. Yes, I realize my preview pictures use a striped pattern on them instead of plaid.

These are for Teen-Adult (maybe elder? I can never remember if I check that box or not no, not for elders), are available for Everyday, Formal, and Career, and have four preset styles.

Taken too far out of control... )

These use base-game meshes and my textures. Do whatever you want, but no paysites and no pretending you made them. Life turned to night as you're asleep, blood flowing down, is this a dream?

17th-May-2010 10:34 pm - Default Replacement Tank Tops for Males
Misc - War Kitten


I did these ages ago and never released them. Good thing, because today I fixed up quite a few issues with the mesh and texture. Better late than never, I suppose.

These are a default replacement. They will replace the tank tops already in the game. I slimmed the mesh down (will only affect slimmer sims; does nothing to larger sims) and replaced the texture with one I like a lot better. If you prefer not to have these replace the in-game tank tops, give me a few days as I do plan on making a non-replacement version.

These have two color channels, but I failed to get a picture of that; I'll edit this post with one soon. Done.

The pictures behind her closed eyes... )

You should know the drill by now. No paysites, no claiming my work as your own. Otherwise, do whatever. She knows the noises in her mind; nothing's left but screaming silence.

17th-May-2010 06:24 pm - ever-present spirit - untucked long-sleeved shirt for males
TS3 - Tristan - Purple Profile


I'm getting sick of t-shirts, so I modified a base game mesh that wasn't a t-shirt.

For young adult and adult males, everyday- and formal-wear, three color channels, four presets, morphs perfectly.

I feel your consecrated arms entrap my desecrated soul... )

Do whatever you want with this, just keep it off paysites and don't claim you made it. You've washed the human sickness off the roots and seeds, and purged my ground of all the evil. You have devastated me.

14th-May-2010 12:21 pm - Tutorial - Combining Packages to Ease Lag and Load Time
TS3 - Tristan - Wicked
I originally put this tutorial together for [personal profile] century_eyes, but I thought I'd go ahead and repost it here in case anyone else could get some use out of it.

If you primarily use package files for your custom content and have noticed increased load times and/or lag in your game, follow this tutorial to combine your CC into fewer, larger packages to fix the problem.

Combining packages... )

You can combine combined packages, and it's ok to add more things to your combined packages at a later date.

I'd suggest instead of making one huge package of all your CC to have four or five, only because when I tried to make a single package things started to blow up. I've got Objects, CAS (hair, clothes, makeup), Patterns, and my own crap as their own packages.

I've not combined Default Replacements (never sure if I'll switch those out or something), my hacks, and AM/story progression.

Very easy, and holy shit it makes a huge difference. My game now loads as quickly as it did before I had any CC in it, and no longer lags at all.

This is the original thread on MATY. Anach has offered up this additional information, which is very useful:

1. If you have a merged a mod and wish to update it with a newer version, you will need to re-merge the entire package, or you will usually experience game breakages.

2. The game imposes a limit of 200MB on its own merged packages (dbc), however a package can be anysize, and the only limitation is processing time (larger takes longer) and filesystem limits.

3. Try to keep your total number of mod packages under 100.

4. You can also remove ICON type files (junk files used by sims3pack) and "THUM" (thumbnails) if you wish the game to generate its own thumbnails rather than use the ones provided in the package.

(Originally figured out by someone Anach on MATY.)
13th-May-2010 04:44 pm - stumble in my footsteps - square-toed boots for males (dragon)
TS3 - Tristan  Green


Just some nice square-toed ankle boots for the boys, with a brand new mesh from me. This particular pair has a cross design on the back with a dragon design on the toe. I forgot how much I enjoy the tediousness of creating all-new meshes and textures!

Enabled for young adults, adults, and elders for everyday and formal wear. Three color channels, including the dragon, sole, and... the rest of the shoe. They morph perfectly with all body shapes.

I'm not looking for absolution... )

It's really a pain in the ass to get decent pictures of shoes... :/ These really don't do them very much justice; trust me that they look pretty damned good in-game.

Anyway, do whatever you want with these, just keep it off paysites and don't claim you made them. Morality would frown upon, decency look down upon, the scapegoat fate's made of me.
