Hi! I hope I'm not being rude by asking, I'm new to the sims community. Do you take requests for conversions? I love Mutske's Fana construction set. It exist for both s3 and s4, but I can't find a conversion to s2. I looked into converting the set myself, but it seems too difficult at my current skill level. Would you be interested in doing it, and if not do you know who/where I can ask? :)

Hi and welcome to the community! This a very nice message - not rude at all - and I do sometimes take requests :)

I didn't know about Mutske's Fana set - it's so pretty and I see why you love it! I'm sorry but I don't really have the time or energy to convert it right now. Garden of Shadows has a Wishing Tree thread for requests or maybe a simmer will just see this tumble and be inspired or maybe I will get my big-set-converting-mojo back ❤️

Hi Shasta! Thanks a bunch for this tutorial on "Changing blue glass to clear" Did you ever post Part 2 about how to edit a mesh with a glass TXTR? I love LordCrumps 4t2 windows but the glass is so dark

Hi! Here are some Quick How-Tos :) (sorry I'm no help with other image-editing software besides GIMP)

VERSION 1 Editing a Glass TXTR

In GIMP, ctrl-n to start a new file (size 64x64 px) You should have a tiny white square In the Layers-Brushes window/port, right-click your Background layer and select Add Alpha Channel Toolbar > Colors > Color to Alpha... You should have a tiny clear square In the new window, click OK and ctrl-shift-e to export as a png, name it glass or whatever you like

In SimPe, open your window or door and select the Texture Image (TXTR) in the Resource Tree and find the glass TXTR in the ResourceList. In Plugin View, right-click on the image to Build DXT... In the DDS Builder window, add your clear png in the open Image... Sharpen: None and Format: DXT5Format in Settings (if it isn't already) and click Build Click Commit and ctrl-s to save Load your game and see how you like it

VERSION 2 Editing a Too-Dark Glass TXTR I'm using platasp_GP07_ArchedAperture from the Strangerville Pack

In SimPe, select the Texture Image (TXTR) in the Resource Tree and the glass TXTR in the ResourceList (e.g. archedaperture-glass-base_txtr). In Plugin View, right click the texture and Export...

In GIMP, open the png (e.g. archedaperture-glass-base_txtr_256x256) Toolbar > Colors > Brightness-Contrast... In the new window, make sure Preview is ticked and then adjust the Brightness slider: somewhere in the 50-70 range looks pretty good in this case. Click OK Toolbar > Colors > Color to Alpha... In the new window, click OK The png should still have ~just a little~ shading ctrl-shift-e to export, I usually add a 2 to the file name (e.g. archedaperture-glass2-base_txtr_256x256)

Back in SimPe, right-click on the image to Build DXT... In the DDS Builder window, add the new png in the open Image... Sharpen: None in Settings, click Build Click Commit and ctrl-s to save. Load your game and see how you like it Good luck and happy simming! :)

hi shasta! i asked deedee if she knew why her klippan pillow recolors were only showing up on the couch and not the separated pillows, and she linked your repo'd separated pillows. i switched out the meshes I had for yours and they only have the red color and aren't recolorable. am I doing something wrong?

Hi! Post in question Any chance you accidentally downloaded the ts2 download for base-game instead of the ts2 download if you have IKEA sp?

The repo'd pillows have new file names e.g. original: S2TinkIKEAKLIPPANSofaPillow2v1MESH new: S2TinkIKEAKLIPPANSofaPillow2v1MESH_slave

Hi there Shastakiss/Yeti. Honestly...I must say that you have really nice cc stuff. Especially Halloween cc. I have a question, do you take requests or are you open for suggestions? I couldn't find your rules TOU so thats why I ask this. If its not a bother to you could you make TINKLE's CELEBRITY TRAILER into photo booth? Sims can take pictures there and do woohoo as well. :) :D

http://simscave.mustbedestroyed.org/index.php?topic=37803.0%3Bprev_next%3Dnext#new

Hi there and thank you! I'm open to suggestions and these trailers are cute but I'm not interested in this, sorry. The animations would look a little clumsy in more ways than one.

gm! I have a wcif. I need the following for elder female:

  • dresssummer
  • perditadress
  • seventiesdress
  • polkadotminidress

I've checked the usual suspects - skell, dustfinger, cocomama and didn't find these.

would settle for top only dresses. thanks if you know! :)

WCIF? Has anyone made a 3x1 Vintage Retro Classic Table add-on? It's from Nightlife. Any help is appreciated, thank you!

wcif a mod that decreases (or eliminates) the want to have a good reputation? i feel like my sims spin it (and fulfill it) constantly and i'd just as soon not have it at all if it's going to be that cheaty.

Hi Shasta! I hope you're doing super well. Thanks for all the incredible content you've made over the years and being such a sweet person. I'm in love with the cupboard bed by jacky93sims, post 736092684077367296 and I think it would look amazing in cluedo woods so I thought I'd ask the OG. would you possibly be interested in recoloring it? no expectation of course. have a wonderful day!

Hi and thank you for this kind message! I'm not interested in the bed, sorry.

Hi! Do you know where I can find the redirector for the Box links? Thanks! :)

Hi! Hermit Fox's Redirector is here, the orange links still work underneath the strikethrough. There are lots of WCIFs at ModTheSims about what to edit in the url to get Box links to work if the Redirector doesn't help.

Best wishes / good luck / happy downloading!
