hi i wondering when you will finsh the disabllity mod

Oof well... I honestly don't know at this time when or if I even will finish the Neurodiversity Mod to be perfectly honest.

I lost a lot of steam for it bc of depression and burnout and I haven't really worked on it since. I've gotten better slowly, but I've also kinda dived into making my own games and while honestly I'd love to also work on the ND mod (cause it's still a mod I'm passionate about and want to have myself!) most of the little energy I have I'm spending on that rn.

idk it's a little complicated, and I'm sorry I've kinda disappeared and not been upfront about it, but yeah, idk, sorry ;n;

Boreal Vibrance Recolor Kit

I am so sorry for taking absolute ages to do this lol

But anyway, I've finally put together a little psd file for recoloring my Boreal Vibrance eyes! Currently it includes the Evergreen, Crimson and Lunar sets and I will continue to update it for later sets once they come out. I'll probably also make psd files for the animal eyes later on (probably once they're all done).

Anyone’s free to recolor without asking, however, I ask that you please do not reupload this psd, use my textures for anything other than recolors without first asking me, or paywall the resulting recolors (this includes early access).

I also ask that you credit me and provide a link back to the Boreal Vibrance sets (whichever set you’re making recolors of), so that people can find the originals.

Oh, and please also send me a message with a link to your recolors or tag me in the post (I want to see it! :D)

Boreal Vibrance DAPPLES

Our equine sims (and mini goats and mini sheep) can now finally get their Boreal Vibrance upgrade!

These eyes I've been working on since before HR was released, that's how excited I was about getting horses haha. I'm a big silly horse nerd as well as a bit of a horse color genetics nerd, so getting to do a set of horse eyes that gives proper justice to equine eyes and all the colors they can come in (while keeping the stylized style) was a treat, and hopefully everyone will enjoy them! :D

Also, a quick note to fellow horse nerds before you burn me on the stakes; yes the sets include some pinkish albino eyes, yes I know albino does not exist in equines, they're included purely for fun/fantasy and for consistency with the rest of the BV sets which always include at least some albino and blind swatches.

Boreal Vibrance LUNAR

Hey, look who's back from the dead and finally releasing the next part of this eye default set! 😂

I've been working on this and the vampire eyes on and off now, the emission maps aka glowyness has given me so much grief (and i'm still fighting with the vampire eyes, though they are nearing the finish line too). I expect that once I've gotten these two sets out of the way the progress on the rest will be a whole lot faster and smoother.

Anyway, here's the default eyes for the werewolves! There's a few different variants, plus three bonus "human-form" eyes I threw in. I generally like to stay somewhat true to the original maxis eyes and for example I opted to change the "furry"-esque eyes into more dog-like eyes that're still pretty cute but in a more animalistic and canine way. The rest are more wild and wolf-like, with one more magical/mystical variation and also a few fox eyes thrown in there for some fun extra options.

Boreal Vibrance EVERGREEN

Long time no see! I've had a long paus from sims and social media especially but the announcement of the Horse Ranch ep has revitilized my motivation to play the game (my little horse girl heart is literally so friggin excited lmao).

But anyway, I haven't been entirely unproductive (as far as sims goes) this year though. In fact I mayy have started messing around with making some custom default eyes of my own, and it mayy just be that the first part (containing the regular human eyes) have JUST been approved on curseforge and is available for download 👀

Hi! Can you share the PSD for your new eyes?

It's something I've considered and I probably will later. The only thing is that the way my psd workfiles are set up is... uh, slightly messy and probably a bit unorthodox so I'm gonna need to set up a seperate cleaner psd for sharing 😂

[gaymerborealis]

Reins Update: So, do you want the good news or the bad news?

sorry in advance if this reads like a wet newspaper there's a lot and i'm a lover not a writer

Alright nerds, here's my most recent update in the Battle of the Reins:

Good news! Apart from fixing some weights where the reins meet the bridle (still figuring that out but that's just a skill issue on my end), its super easy to attach reins to your bridle mesh! Take a look at this bad boy:

(ignore the janky positioning by the bit, I told you; Skill Issue)

(also also, look at the sheepskin pad LOOK AT IT get yours from SweetPea HERE)

Even better news: with this method, the reins now share the bridle section of the UV map, so even in this case where I just slapped them into @studiosweetpeacc 's bridle cc, apart from moving the reins map onto the bridle, I didn't have to do anything extra in regards to swatches! yay!

(basically the reins r now a part of the bridle mesh but you have to copy the rein weights from the reins CAS item *the horse ranch version, not the one w the base game symbol*. I've also made the default reins invisible so they're still technically there. That's to stop them from clipping with the new, better, cooler reins.) Great stuff we're all delighted! Good reins are on the way for us all!

Except, here's the bad news:

Since the reins aren't supposed to be applied, this is what they look like by default.

There's only one proper fix for this as far as I can see. In order to sort this teeny tiny issue out, I'll have to basically edit every single animation clip that the horse uses where the reins sit like this by default. Basically every unmounted clip.

The package of those files alone, unedited, is about 26MB and some bits.

That's like...a lot.

I think.

My potential compromise is this. I'd edit the CAS poses so the reins don't look janky while you make your horse. I'd also edit the pose the horse uses between shaking on the tack and entering the mount animation (that's the pose you see here),as well as the pose they enter between dismounting and shaking off the tack. There's also the 'being thrown off' pose you might have seen in my previous post, I think those are the ones we'd see most often that require fixing.

The reins will still hang like this for basically every other thing the horse does while tacked up (but not being ridden), but it means a much smaller file.

Also, bridles with no reins attached will still work for those people who take stud/confirmation pics of their horses, so no worries about them getting in the way.

(small caveat to this: because the default reins r hidden, they won't pop up when the sim mounts the horse unless you change the bridle to one with reins attached)

-

I think that concludes my report. I had no idea it would be this complicated (and to be fair it might not be but this is very new to me so I got lost quite a bit), but I hope that this helps with getting some nice tack!

**Stirrups update: I have ideas, I'll have to test them. Stay tuned.**

Horsie eyes anyone?

I started sketching some base textures and variant ideas in photoshop for the Horse Ranch animals to fit my Boreal Vibrance defaults set yesterday. Might be awhile before they're done though :p

I've come up with four texture variants for the horses. The top left one would be the one I'll use for the actual default replacements, and the top right "appaloosa" variant as well as the "wilder"-looking bottom left one will be non-defaults in the same swatches as the defaults.

I also whipped up a quick and very silly sparkly fantasy variant, a bit for funsies, but I think it could be great for making unicorns. I'm thinking I'll do 5 or so swatches in some more unnatural and vivid colors to fit the magical vibe.

Also working on replacement eye textures for the sheeps and goats! For these I'm staying a little true to the vibe of the ea ones with rounder bigger pupils for the sheep and thinner undilated ones for goats, but still with horizontal pupils for both and in my style of course.

[gaymerborealis]

Looking forwards to seeing g your complete eyeset! :3

Can't wait to have it completed myself honestly! :D (even if they're quite fun to work on lol)
