Need An Opinion!

Xan here. Started updating an inactive creator's hair, but I ended up modifying the texture to fix some issues. They've been absent for more than 5 years, so I can't ask for permission to release it with the mesh, but I don't want to smack my retexture on their file along with the swatch update. Sooo...help? Should I include the mesh, or not?

Reblog if you like, I'll take all the advice I can get.

[Build: Minnow’s Watch Lighthouse]

Lot Size: 50x50 Lot Type: Residential World: Sulani Lot: Admiral’s Wreckage Packs Used: Get to Work, Get Together, City Living, Cats & Dogs, Seasons, Get Famous, Island Living, Outdoor Retreat, Spa Day, Vampires, Parenthood, Jungle Adventures, Strangerville, Realm of Magic, Cool Kitchen, Spooky Stuff, Movie Stuff, Toddler Stuff, Laundry Day, Tiny Living, Knitting Stuff and the Holiday Pack.

After the loss of his wife, Selvadoradian native Ban Escarion moved to Sulani with his daughter, in hopes of a fresh start. The Minnow’s Watch–named for its architect, eight-year-old Laney–is a testament to why an eight-year-old should not be allowed to design a house, let alone a lighthouse.

UPDATED 5/14/2024:

  • Tray files restored
  • Broken roof repaired
  • Ceilings painted
  • Terrain adjusted

This was our first build, so finding out the tray files had vanished was a bummer. But, it was a good excuse to fix it up. If you haven't checked it out, give it a look! It's still quirky but it should be much better now.

[Transgender Day of Visibility]

We Exist We Have Always Existed We Will Always Exist

So! Transgender Day of Visibility is March 31st, and it means a lot to us, so we wanted to highlight a few of our trans and nonbinary kids from various time-periods, at various stages of transition! Featuring:

Faire Nys (he/him) - Battle Mage; knew from age 4 Erik Lumine (he/they) - Diplomat; nonbinary, wholly unconcerned Carmen Arma (she/her) - Aristocrat; never questioned it Martin Weatherbee (he/him) - Shelter Manager; transitioned at 30 Yuri Cheng-Chekhov (she/he) - Intelligence Agent; still figuring it out

[My Shadow: Fullbody Darkness Overlay]

This is really specific. Needed it for a photoset and decided it was worth being shared, so here you go! We loved @valhallansim's overlay, but Xan wanted something that would work with eyelashes, and show the eyes and teeth. So, we reverse-engineered our own overlay and ended up with this. Want to go Dark Link, and have a doppelganger with its own personal darkness? Want a character in silhouette, with eyes showing, like in a comic? Sims just too bright in a night scene? Then this is cc for you! Drop a shadow over any Sim that needs it, or reduce them to a silhouette. The sky is the limit!

Screenshots are unedited; the overlay darkens everything, and results will vary based on the skin, the darkness of clothes worn, etc. It won't effect rings or glasses (so it would work with eyelashes), and some EA bracelets (for some reason), but it's fun to play with. Found under Toenails, includes custom thumbnail, the works! Download below!

Could I please ask for a direct link to Angel Dusts arms and eyes please? Im having trouble finding the post πŸ˜…πŸ’–

The eyes are @pralinesims' Oasis V2 Heterochromia combined with Vampires default eyes. The arms are by lunanelfeah, who deactivated, but I found a working link. Here you go:

[Lookbook Challenge: Hazbin Hotel]

Xan: Honey, I'm bored. I need something to do. Dez: *half asleep* Make Alastor in the Sims. Xan: K. (five minutes later) Xan: Done. *beat* Honey, I'm bored. Dez: Wow. Okay. See if you can make Angel. Xan: K. (half an hour later--)

That logo and background took longer than the Sims.

Sooo...we've been watching Hazbin Hotel! Not super accurate but I feel like it's in the right spirit! This lookbook challenge is courtesy of Dez, who is way too good of a sport about this stuff. Limited to what we already had downloaded, for extra challenge. (Or Xan would've been up all night downloading cc.)
