I recently installed your wonderful Maxis Match lighting mod and it's working beautifully, but there's one issue that I have noticed. I'm using Curiousb's terrain and road defaults in my game. At wintertime when there's snow in the ground and when I'm at the lot view, the road in the actual lot area is Curiousb's as it is supposed to be, but the road outside the lot area seems to be original Maxis road. I'm assuming that this may have something to do with Lot Skirt Road fix?
Hi! CuriousBâs lush road default is actually broken. Fixed it up when I discovered that issue here.Â

Very good looking, boy!
Yeah, I think heâs a good combination of his parents. His dad got all of the extremes of Goopy and Sandyâs faces and so was very extreme himself. Andrew got some of that but softened by his motherâs smaller, more delicate features. I think of their three kids they had together, heâs the one thatâs the most âblendedâ in terms of combining the parentsâ facial features.

What is that sc4 terrain in your preview pics? It looks pretty!
Well, there are several different ones there. :) My testing neighborhood is the Desiderata Valley terrain. GilsCarburg is on Phaenohâs âSand Simoleon Point.â The Air Force Base (the most heavily-decorated one) is on this one. And the other one is this one. I tend to fiddle with terrains using the modifyneighborhoodterrain cheat, though. I did a lot of âcustom sculptingâ in the AFB neighborhood, especially.

Looks Fabulous! I love CuriousB's set as well, but I think I like this one much better for a modern hood. Almost looks like a true lush green.
Yeah, itâs kind of like âsuburbia green,â the kind you get when you have a group of neighbors who are all obsessive about landscaping and mowing their lawns and stuff like that, all in order to keep up with and/or out-landscape the neighbors. Or, itâs like âsod farm green.â I confess that I looked at some images of sod farms online when I was fiddling with the color. Itâs still a little blue-r than that, but thatâs kind of what I wanted. I was tired of the yellow-green of CuriousBâs textures -- and Maxis is even worse in that regard -- so I erred more on the blue side of green. Maybe itâs all Kentucky bluegrass! :)

If all your Sims want to become Criminal Masterminds, I think it's clear the universe is telling you that their family is forming into some kind of mafia! How excellent!
Yeah, itâs pretty awesome. But also kind of ridiculous. âLetâs be crime lords of this tiny town of, like, five houses! So big time!â *laugh*
eulaliasims replied to your photo âGhost-of-Steven makes himself useful. I think weâll keep him.â
Cleaning ghosts are the best ghosts! Much better than the whiny ones. :P
Generally, I have a policy of packing ghosts off to a cemetery after a few hauntings, but I confess that Iâll let cleaning ghosts stay right where they are. :)
fuzzyspork replied to your audio post âSo hereâs something completely different! A friend of mine, a luthier,...â
So pretty! The Enya song that always gets stuck in my head is Sail Away. And somehow this got it stuck in my head. D: I'm not even an Enya fan! Fun Fact: the last apartment we lived in before we bought this house had an elderly woman and her middle aged daughter living next door. They played Enya constantly. And I know this because they played it at TOP FREAKIN VOLUME. I kept imagining them over there languidly head banging.
LOL! I dunno, I tend to think that if someoneâs blasting Enya, theyâre probably not head-banging. Theyâre probably attempting to float ethereally around their house in flowing white dresses with big bell sleeves. :) (All that reverb and overdubbing, oy!) Sorry for sticking Enya in your head, though. It very well might have been that âSail Awayâ song that got stuck in mine. It was just, like, 10 years ago, so I donât really remember anymore.
cindysimblr replied to your photo âGhost-of-Steven makes himself useful. I think weâll keep him.â
What? I've never seen them do something like this!
Theyâll do it if they had a lot of Cleaning points in life. And I think they need to be happy, too, not grumpy. So, like, their bed still has to exist. (I dunno why thatâs so important to ghosts, but...Well, it is.) Steven not only mops up cat pee that didnât make it into a litterbox, but he cleans all the toilets in the house, too.
blackswan-sims replied to your post âMusic Shuffle Memeâ
Yaasss, Within Temptation! *high fives* Symphonic metal's a major weakness of mine too.
Yeah, itâs very operatic. And since A) I like opera and B) Opera was the heavy metal of its time, thatâs only fitting. :) Iâd kind of like it if there were some bands with male singers, though. I mean, I know the whole âthingâ (if itâs not instrumental like a Trans-Siberian Orchestra sort of thing) is âoperaticâ soprano + metal band, but itâd be nice if there were, say, âoperaticâ tenor + metal band versions. :) If such exists, I donât know about it...
celebkiriedhel replied to your audio post âSo hereâs something completely different! A friend of mine, a luthier,...â
I love harp music. When I was young (a child) it was the instrument that I wanted to learn.
I learned it a bit later in life, actually. I was never really interested before, but I was doing some teaching at a folk music camp for a couple summers in the early 90s, and at the beginning of the first session, the faculty got together for a meet-and-greet/jam. At some point, we ended up exchanging instruments, and I found myself with a lever harp and kind of fell in love with it. I rented a harp and took the classes at the camp, and when it was done, I bought a harp, found a teacher, and took some lessons and...Yeah, here we are. :) Itâs fairly easy to learn if you already have a piano background, but even if you donât itâs not bad. You just need strong fingers. The hard part is actually finding a teacher. Well, that and harps are pretty expensive. :\ Here in the US, a decent-quality one of a decent size (36+ strings) will run you about ~$3000, used. (Thatâs for a lever harp; pedal harps are more.) But I like lever harps a lot better, myself. I prefer their more folky/Celtic sound.
nimitwinklesims replied to your photoset âCan you see the edges of the terrain? Can you tell whatâs actually...â
Ooh, nice! Although lot view does look a bit silly. But hey, I guess with that default I linked to it would look better, as it uses the same texture there!
Yeah, it probably would look nice with @an-elegant-simblrâs Realistic Grass. I havenât put that in my testing game yet to check it out, but I probably will at some point.
ddeathflower replied to your photo âTryinâ to put some mountains more in the distance. Not sure how...â
One small criticism would be that the horizen should be lighter. Otherwise it looks great!
Yeah, normally I put a bit of a glow on the top of edge of horizons. It lightens it and softens the transition between horizon and sky. But in this case, the tops of the mountains are too close to the edge of the texture to apply a glow! So, Iâm experimenting with slight transparency, instead.

Separates! :)

I agree with @mikexx2
deedee-sims replied to your photo âSomething I came up with for the GoS theme this month. I'm still not...â
I'd say separates too :)
simcat81 replied to your photo âSomething I came up with for the GoS theme this month. I'm still not...â
I'd say full outfit, because there's never enough fullbody oufits. And that could be nice replacement for maxis hoodievest outfit :)
I like the idea of separates because (1) less work for me, no need for a new mesh, and (2) Plenty of top and bottom combinations, and the top and bottom fit fine together.Â
4 years ago, Iâm pretty sure the top/bottom re-categorisation wasnât all that known, or wasnât a thing at all, so of course a combination into a full outfit mesh was a cool idea :D
If people are interested in having this as a default for the hoodievest outfit anyway, I wouldnât mind making that happen. Probably not till after Halloween though!
By the way, for those who like the outfit, making it available in athletic category is easy. I have a tutorial about how to do it automatically here (which also explains how to do it normally).Â
I would tell you where to find the top and bottom, but for the life of me, I canât find the files in my own messy downloads folder right now and I canât open Bodyshop to look for them :x I do know that the pants must be Amaryllâs/Trappingâs, and the top is Fanseelamb textures on some separated mesh. Iâll find it one day hopefully! XD
EDIT: So I found the pants here (by total accident, tbh), download here thanks to @sims2packrat. It does have different shoes, which means either there are pants out there with those shoes, or *gasp* I shoeswapped it. Iâve lost the files from back then, unfortunately.Â
Including some that I missed in my earlier go-round. (Sorry about that, guys! I wasnât intentionally ignoring you!).

THEYâRE SO CUTE! Honestly, I think theyâre the cutest part of cats, pixel ones or otherwise. :)
criquette-was-here replied to your post âReply time!â
No time to explain, but you should try these. Might work for the light posts on hood deco pier kinda look: http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=317716
Yâknow, I didnât think of OMSPs... I donât think those can be placed off-lot. BUT! @julsfels made some that you place on a lot but that extend into the surrounding areas off-lot. Iâm not sure how far theyâll extend, but perhaps the OMSPs can be stacked to make them extend farther... Worth a shot, anyway! Thanks for the idea! :)
beautifulnerdkitty replied to your post âSooooooo....â
Chris Hatch made a mod for YA to rent apartments at University here: http://www.backalleysims.com/adultsite/showthread.php?15751-Apartments-at-University
*sigh* I can never get onto Backalley Sims. I register to look at/download one thing and then donât go there for a long time and in the interim my login gets banned for disuse. Usually, I donât feel like re-registering. And in this case, I get student neighbors due to the âTownie Neighborsâ mod since dormies are the only non-social-townies I have in this particular neighborhood, but I thought maybe that mod might be useful to @fuzzyspork and others.
simcat81 replied to your photo âGilsCarburg is having a very whiteâŚspring. Yep, this was the morning...â
That's exactly how the spring looks here in Finland at the moment.
*sigh* I kind of envy you, actually. Iâm in Southern California right now and although the weatherâs been nice lately -- sunny, in the low 20s (Celsius, of course), low humidity -- soon itâs going to be hot and humid and yucky. And Colorado is my home, where we have cold/snowy springs, and I like them that way...
lauratje86 replied to your photo âWIP: Undeveloped community beach. Sculpting dunes one click at a time...â
That looks amazing! Do you still use unseasonal plants in your game or did you make the switch to only using seasonal ones?
Thank you! And yeah, I use both seasonal and non-seasonal plants. Sure, Iâd prefer it if they were all seasonal, but Iâm not going to give up on old favorites just because they arenât (yet?) seasonal. It doesnât bother me too much. Itâs not like I usually see the outside of a lot much, if Iâm concentrating on playing. It bothers me more on outdoor-oriented community lots like parks and beaches and such, but when all is said and done, the majority of my playing doesnât happen on that kind of lot. So...Yeah, still not giving up on old faves. :)
@simcat81 replied to your post âHair: Pooklet colors + Maxis-match textures?â
I remember that absaurussims retextured hairs using Lilith Remi edit textures and Pooklet colors. But I don't remember If they used all the Pooklet actions or just four of them.
Thank you very much! Yes, there are only four or five colours but at least we have one more option for blond.

Kahlenas, Slyndseysims, Hambergersims, Jellybeanery, Lilith-sims, Poppet-sims, they popped up on my mind atm
Thanks, you two! Those are really great suggestions :D Iâve never downloaded sims cause I only played a select few families and never had my own custom neighbourhood, so this should be fun!
