We are COOKED 😭😭

this plus those project renee previews that just looked like half blender room half haunted mobile game (ie lily's garden), i'll pass on sims 5 lmao

This is GREAT. A free to play game with its own marketplace for dlc! Hopefully they integrate all the cc creators they've been partnering with ASAP and they put all their cc on there too, for a price! Their own little mini SL 🥰 and they can leave Sims 1-4 alone~

if you don’t vote for our little green man i’ll be very upset with you

HALLELUJAH-

Blessed day!

These are the results of my in depth look into how TS4 spec maps work. 

The alpha layer seems to add a reflection or sheen at between 12.5% - 87.5% opacity of the colored channels. It’s more liquid looking than metallic and seems most effective at around 50% strength. 

Green seems to effect the brilliance of the shine making items appear to be made of polished metal. At low opacity, it still implies a metallic quality to an object such as a brushed metal tap. 

The way that blue effects shine makes an object seem curved and plastic-y. Probably best for lacquered effects like automotive paint or nail polish. Would be lovely at 50% strength and 50% opacity on Art Deco furniture for that high-glamor look. 

Red seems the most promising for clothing on its own creating effects from vinyl and latex at high strength to silk charmeuse and crepe on low opacity. 

In combination, just about any effect is possible, but I would suggest a gentle hand. High opacity, high percentage spec maps are very extreme.

ordinary saturday night

Remember when My First Pet Stuff came out and we all made a big stink about it? Remember when TS4 team said it sold well but also quietly decided that they wouldn't do an add on stuff pack like that again? Then they made up a new kind of pack and put out stuff that absolutely is just leftovers from packs? And now they are releasing EA App subscription exclusive kits of some pajamas?

What a sad state the Sims 4 has come to.

I totally blame the paywallers for this at this point. They tested the waters for EA if people are willing to pay for subscription models. I hope they'll give themselves a pat on the shoulder if Sims 5 is subscription-based, and releasing mods will be limited to EA's official marketplace. Cheers.

if simblr was a company which department would y'all work at?

paralives got ea scareddddd
