A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS "The Hedge Knight" | 1.01

ENCHANTED BY NATURE - K-HIPPIE VERSION - VERY SOON

A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS "The Hedge Knight" | 1.01

Now that we ( at last ) finished our global x11 update, time was coming to get a closer look, especially on the oldest files ...

There's a joke to be made with updating after EAxis mess. Maybe something like ... Si(m)siphus ... Really, once we start working on an update, it seems like *everything* needs an update and we'll never get to the bottom of it. Or ... worst ( or better ) we get an insight on something we couldn't figure out and now we just want to test a theory or two, just in case it'll crack the code ... aaand we'll be good to make an overhaul of something else. Anyway ! Here we are :)

BRINDLETON BAY We are half pleased with the results here but those files needed to be updated ... Indeed ! The Cats & Dogs town is back into the fold with updated texture. We even removed the red pavement for more consistency. We aren't quite happy with the final result of this town and we'll probably come back later for finishing touch here & there but it'll do for the moment.

Please enjoy the return of Brindleton Bay among the family of the k-mods files :D

SELVADORADA ( JUNGLE ADVENTURES ) It was long overdue indeed but working on Selvadorada is like working on San Myshuno, it is clearly not EAxis best hours ...

Anyway, we completely reworked both nature and urban files, finished the ruins, added the files we hadn't done ...

STRANGERVILLE

We always have a soft spot for Strangerville, surely because it reminds us the Sims 2 Strangetown which was was so fun and irreverent !

You already have the k-505 nature we updated not long ago. Now, we remade the k-505 urban and put work into finishing touches, making sure we've covered everything that needed to be k-hippied :D

K-505 : BASEGAME NATURE FILES UPDATE Which should actually be : What-A-Surprise-We-At-Last-Found-Files Somehow, we tackled the San Myshuno Pit Of Darkness Problem. Yes, you read that right, with one single file, two little adjustment and a lot of hair pulling ( "What do you mean EA stretch that file like peanut butter on a toast ?" ) Okay, with less sardonic comment, the k-505 base game mod actually got a new update that's even better. You know those rocks with grass on them ? Yeah, we cleared that. It's now better looking. No more funky hairy rock. And of course, as you may know if you read the previous post, we finally found the files guilty of the black/question mark deep down in San Myshuno ! So, do not hesitate to update all your files ;)

K-101 : MAJOR UPDATE Technical lingo : we updated the specular files because it was bugging us to no end. Old wooden floor, cool. Old wooden floors that shined so much it looked new ? Not under our watch, no sir ! In addition, it solves a glossy problem for Mac users with an intel based computer. Damned ! we are so good ... :D All floors have seen their specular double-checked and done ... and by the way, all Jungle Adventures floors were added, all of them. Of course, if you notice something we may forgot, just tell us :)

Voila, that's all for this week :) Hope it will be ok for you and your fun ! Next in queue, Britechester and Del Sol Valley …

TARTOSA & MOONWOOD MILL : BOTH WORLDS ARE HERE :) SAN SEQUOIA IS ON ITS WAY ...

So, as said and shown in our previous post : Tartosa, the Wedding World and Moonwood Mill are finished and ready to download :)

TARTOSA : All grounds are now textured ! Some sidewalks were changed for a better look ( we think so ... Hope you'll like it )

Because of the light and many maxis glitches, we made more changes in Tartosa than expected ...But to get the mark to be an Italian getaway, we took some artistic liberties. We think the end result is not bad. It is clean, yet authentic and old looking. Tartosa now exults in lazy walks and languorous evenings ;)

Unsurprisingly, some files are connected to the Base-game : you have to re-download the K-505 base-game AND the K-606 files to get all the details <--- we made a silent update :)

Why a silent update ? Because, in order to update the whole K-Mods and be ready for the next expansion, we have to update many many files : it will be the case during all our Bold November and certainly in December too :D

MOONWOOD MILL : Compared to Tartosa, Moonwood Mill textures redux was much more enjoyable to do :) A bit tricky sometimes but so much grass ! and we love grass ! so much than we really have to update the K-707 as soon as possible :D

In order to get new wood roofs, and the updated wood floors, we updated the K-606 AND the K-101 files to get all the details <--- we made silent updates :)

SAN SEQUOIA : San Sequoia is coming :) soon :) very soon :) what else ?

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Remember : Just as always, there’e … unexpected surprises. We had to make some changes into some other K-Mods to get it right. So, don't be mad, we try to make all this as convenient as possible for you, and we are not responsible for Maxis glitches and changes ;)

Certainly, there will be more updates to come, so stay tuned ...

If you think our work is worthing :)

WHAT'S COMING FOR THE K-MODS ? MAJOR OTHER UPDATES

So, most of the k-mods have been directX11 updated. Most but not all of them ;)

In addition, some k-mods which have been released few years ago need a fresh makeover. Again. We are currently working on many files at the same time, in order to make all these updates as fast as possible ...

At last, we finally found the 2 files ( in the base game ) guilty for the black/question mark into the downside of San Myshuno as you may see in the picture below ...

Those 2 files are used both in base game & San Myshuno. The stretch is not caused by the k-505 :D

The files which will be released next Saturday will be :

Brindleton Bay

Strangerville

Selvadorada

And surely some others little things ;) ( all related to : k-101, k-303, and k-505 )

Next in queue, Britechester and Del Sol Valley ... But we'll talk about later. So, see you on Saturday :) for the links to download and other minor/major updates !

HALLOWEEN AT FORGOTTEN HOLLOW 2023

Each Halloween on Simblrs bring its fantastic batch of objects and food and caldrons and magic stuff :)

This year, we tried to add our 2 cents with something a bit different ... a melting pot of ambiant stuff and objects and everything is Forgotten Hollow related ;) So, let's prepare everything for the party ! beginning with the tombs & graveyards replacement ...

As we were updated our Breezy Lanterns, we had the idea to redo the Maxis Halloween Lanterns by suppressing the poles and put them on one slot only for more placement possibilities ... Here are the results ;)

And here comes a series of Dark Potterverse Artworks made by Dylan Pierpont you may find here

We made some Pumpkins for the occasion. And few other stuff ... Hope you'll like them :)

We updated the Forgotten Hollow K-505 and Forgotten Hollow K-707 Mods

In addition we made the K-101 for Spooky Stuff ( both carpet and wood floors )
