This is a 4to2 conversion from Hydrangea, low poly. It's a functional game for sims, based on my previous Tamagotchi. Increase logic skill and fun, screen is animated. Children can use it too. Found in Hobbies-Recreation. If you already have the custom tamagotchi sound you don't need to put it in the download folder.

How To Dreamwidth: A Primer

the more friends ask me about dreamwidth, the more i realize i know a lot about this site that isn’t super obvious at first glance. so here is a primer for those of you thinking about making a dreamwidth account. this post ranges from your really basic starter tips to the completely esoteric things that come from using it for a decade.

2023 note: This post was written in 2018. While most of this post is still true, various features may have been changed or updated in the years since.

a what now? dreamwho?

Dreamwidth is a code fork of LiveJournal. A code fork means that they took LJ’s code (which used to be open source) and went their own direction with it. They still use the basic ideas behind LJ’s codebase, but have changed and improved upon it in various ways.

The core difference between DW and other websites is privacy isn’t an afterthought, but the central feature. You can lock posts, filter them to a select group, or make them visible to only you. I recommend reading through this section of DW’s FAQ for more on this.

When you make an account, you can subscribe (ie follow) and grant access to other users. Both of these are one-way – if A subscribes to B, that doesn’t automatically grant B access to all of A’s locked posts. Here’s more on this.

DW in general can be kind of confusing for people who have only used tumblr, but their FAQs are pretty good on the whole, and they’re searchable. If a website feature is confusing, start there.

okay, i have a journal. now what?

Customize it! DW doesn’t have all the latest and greatest features, but you can still make it your own. Here are some useful tips.

  • You can change your layout from Organize > Select Style. Mobile support is hit or miss, unfortunately, but there are some nice default layouts that work with it. You can also use this style for Practicality which makes DW fully mobile-friendly. If you’d rather design it yourself, Tabula Rasa is completely stripped down.
  • You can get premade DW layouts at the dreamwidthlayouts community. If you have trouble with your code, ask over at style_system.
  • Edit your profile! This is where you put your usernames for other social media sites, tell people a bit about yourself, and mention your interests. Your interests will be part of the interest search; it’s one way to find people.
  • Upload icons! Free accounts get 15 icons; paid accounts get 100 icons, premium accounts get 250 icons. You can use one icon in each entry and commment you make. It’s good form to put the maker of the icon in the comment section if you didn’t make it. If you got it from someone on tumblr, you can even link their blog using the code <user name=username site=tumblr>. (This works all across DW!)
  • While you can’t make pages, you can set a post to stick at the top of your journal, much like Twitter’s pinned tweets. Here’s how to do it.
  • You can also change how Dreamwidth itself looks, if you don’t like the red. Go to Account Settings > Display. Most other site display preferences are on that page.
  • While you’re here, look through the Account Settings > Privacy page. By default, your public entries will be included in site searches. You can turn it off at the bottom of the page if you want. You can also set it so your entries are automatically access-locked or private as well.

This got very long so the rest is behind the cut. (Now you really know I’m legit.)

hi y’all i just wanted to put you onto this fundraiser for the buffalo nations grasslands alliance. they’re trying to recoup some of the funds for black-footed ferret conservation on tribal grounds that the trump/musk administration has frozen, which is impacting not only the conservation efforts themselves but the livelihoods of the people working on them. the frozen grant is 1.1 million but this fundraiser has a goal of 50,000.

the fundraiser has 24 days left and has only reached 2% of its goal with 11 donations. black-footed ferrets are an endangered lazarus taxon that was thought to be extinct from 1979-1981 before being rediscovered by accident. they’re a miracle of conservation and it would be horrible to lose them for good, not to mention (again) the impact of people working with these animals losing their jobs which is outlined in the fundraiser link. indigenous-led conservation efforts are extremely important for a wide variety of reasons and as someone in the zoology area i feel obligated to share this fundraiser to contribute to those efforts.

i know that things are hard right now and there’s a lot of people and organizations all across the world that need help, so don’t feel pressured BUT if you have extra money and you can contribute to this fundraiser or share it with people who can that would be great.

super cute black-footed ferrets ^

Boosting this here- black footed ferrets are perhaps a little more charismatic than we usually allow here, but they need all the help they can get!

this unchangeable sims 3 username has haunted me for so long... do you know how embarrassing it was to be 10 years old and lose my password? EA would only deal with password changes for this service over the phone, so i had to sit there with my mother as the guy asked "and what was the account name?"

I genuinely feel ashamed that all I can do is write words while more and more Arab people die - but momentum for fundraisers is one of very few things any of us can do at the moment

Please donate to the Sameer Project. They are doing amazing work on the ground. Try to do what you can. Sharing and donating as little as 5 dollars can culminate into a big difference. I have enough of a following to know that we can make a truly big difference if this didn’t simply go ignored bc people decided they’re bored now

4t2 conversion of grimmbats's Skeleton String Lights

shiftable wall decoration in two versions (V2 repositoried to V1)

polycount: 2398 (V1) / 1394 (V2)

two recolorable channels with 10 swatches each, all in 256x256 textures

files are compressed, clearly labeled and made with love

Link, swatch and more info under the cut ♡

Undecorated: Pescado's Authorized Personnel Only Security as 4t2 Switches

🐸 DOWNLOAD (PICK ONLY ONE in folder): SFS / MIRROR

This is a mesh replacement of Pescado's Authorized Personnel Only Security System v5.0 because I would like more decorative objects to be made useable. Hence, "undecorated"! Comes in 2 different 4t2 switches but please pick only 1 as they share the same GUID.

  • No Change in Function - only aesthetic change 🎨

🌟 WHAT DOES THIS THING DO AGAIN?

I sometimes forget this exists because it looks like your normal security alarm but at a whopping $1500, Pescado what were you thinking!!?

It's quite trial and error for me but you can use it to set rooms unlockable for specific sims. I personally use it to make apartments without MAKING apartments 😂

(っ◔◡◔)っ a clumsy demo of me making a room that can only be accessed by Sharon and her nephew Daniel + forgetting about the dog 😭

Saruin Spooky Sweater

This is from Saruin's Pastel Goth set. It was originally for men only but I decided to make it for both male or female. It was originally a full body outfit but I decided to make it as a top so it can be used with pants or pantless bottoms (as shown with Nervous in the second from the left). It's adult only but I also enabled it for elder males (I tried elder females but the EF specific pants clipped through). It doesn't clip through any of the EA pants, I can't guarantee for custom ones though, so be careful.

There are 23 swatches, which is a lot but it originally had 40(!). I cut down on duplicates that just had different color schemes (except I kept all the cats in) and didn't do the ones that were NSFW (or veering that way). It's for AF and AM, preg/fat morphs included, categorized as everday and outerwear (if you have separates for all), enabled for elder male. I also screwed up and mistyped the creator's name but I can't be bothered to go back and fix it.

CEP-Extra for

'The Path Through The Glass Ceiling' [AL]

and recolors

Download: SFS | BOX

I'm pretty sure it hasn't been made yet (?) and I don't know why since this is a nice object and also the only spiral metal staircase we have in TS2. 'Radial stairs' came with Apartment Life EP.

CEP-extra turns glass steps into recolourable subset. My recolors will also work without it tho.

Recommended mods: 'go under spiral stairs' by Nopke

*This is for The Sims 2

This was requested by @teeayohess and it sure took some doing, but here it finally is. I had to start over at least three times... -_- EP16 Crop Harness for (young) adult men, no other ages or genders because I honestly never want to see this mesh again. Fat morph is rather subtle because I didn't want the belts and buckles to deform too much and preg morph is not included for the same reason.

Anonymous asked:

I was hoping for Severance Star, Belizabeth, and Lulihart. Can I be annoying and ask WCIF Faintree’s childhood outfit (dress with the socks) and her teen bat necklace?

sure!!

usual stuff with my sims applies: hairs are binned, skin and eyes are geneticized the particular way @pooklet and i do it, accessory meshes are included as needed. they're all packaged as adults.

as for the wcif (which is not annoying):

  • the bat necklace is by lindasims2 cuz i didn't know better at the time. i'm not gonna link to it but it's on her tumblr somewhere.
  • the dress is an absolutely ancient piece of CC (at least 2014 and maybe older) that i THINK was made by @pooklet. it's a default for a couple CF outfits, cfbodyjacketflare and cfbodytshirtpants. neither of us is totally sure which of us made it or if it might've even been someone else and it is a default, so there's also that. if you'd still like it, here it is. advance apologies if this does belong to somebody else, we just don't remember v_v

These are TOKENS ONLY – they do not alter sims/gameplay on their own. If/when they are incorporated in mods, their custom function(s) will depend on the mods in question. The collection file is REQUIRED to access the traits in-game.

ITEMS Download a PDF/Excel document with the traits and their GUIDs using the link below.
