DECOSIM

A large pack of deco sims for wagering parties, celebrations and evening events.

Together with Olesya (SarQ) and with the help of Nara (Olsen Dynasty) and Soda (Night Echo) We have created this cool pack for you. I have a part with deco sims (standing), Olesya has them for you to download in a sitting position.

PSA - If you have an endless load issue...

It could be lighting related. How that has anything to do with the recent updates is beyond me....

BUT!

My endless loading screen was due to lighting. If you have ANY lighting build cc, it could be the problem. Especially neon lighting. I got rid of all my neon light cc (sad cause I loved them) and I am able to play.

I still have some issue with eyes and hair not staying as I'm building a sim in cas, but it's not any mods. Sometimes it will change as I load the sim into the game. I have had to redo the eyes like 3-4 times before it sticks.

I've been seeing my issue with no mods and I can't diagnose what it is. The whole swatch category is fucked like it was back when there was issues with extra swatches and before that when alien hair and eyes not staying except now it's any of them. They fixed this before. Why is it even a problem now? Does no one at that company comment their code?

If they want to drop a really expensive pack, it should be something that fixes the damned spaghetti code they call a game.

Here's to hoping I don't lose interest in the game again. of all the times to return, the damned game is busted. Eyes aren't staying the right color and I just had a random lock up.

Even without mods, the eyes are changing randomly. EA doesnt make it easy to love this game.

Five minutes into a new save for Wilbur and Judith and he's already knocked her up and then the game locked up.

I think over the years, they've had probably 50 kids, but I'm not bringing any of them back into this new save. I'm playing with a random legacy thing. This is what they got. I am sending Jude to be the culinary job. Wilbur is a stay at home dad who likes photography... and I'm fairly certain there will be more than 2 kids, but the first one will be the heir and the second is the back up.

[sparkiekong]

So... none of my swatches are staying where they need to. Eyes and hair color are randomly changing as I create sims.

I thought we had this solved already.

Why'd I even try to screen in this game again?

[sparkiekong]

Finally got it working.

Sorry for the crappy pics, I just wanted to get this out here.

stupid game locks up as I finished... now I gotta do it over.

[sparkiekong]

What could be causing an endless save lock up?

So what is the purpose of that shiny skin overlay that's in the default game?

Could it be used to place skin blends in another category?

I'm just not seeing much use for a shiny overlay.

wtf, where did this go in my blog? They just disappeared. Man, I hate tumblr sometimes. Stop eating my posts!

Ancient Tats

Trying to remember how to play this game and make stuff. Saw these tats float through my feed somewhere and I thought they were really neat and I wanted them in my game so you get them too. Ancient lady had them on her body and someone made a version I could convert into a sim tat. They were pretty cool looking and I like archaeology stuff especially stuff like this.

I'll come up with a nicer way to display things someday when I'm not feeling absolutely the laziest I could possibly be. Download under a cut so I can adjust or add more swatches to them if I need to. Original images under the cut

Enabled for M and F ages Teen - Elder. No random. Tattoo found in the upper right tattoo section. Am I the only one who misses them all being together?

TOU: Don't be a dick. Don't paywall them. Don't charge people for them. I make these things free for a reason. Other than that, do whatever you want.

Ancient Tats - SFS - Google Drive

Gdrive will be added as soon as I sort the damned thing. it's full.

updates

man, my trays are a freakin mess... I don't remember where I left off with anything.

These trays.... oh man. these freakin tray files.

@helenofsimblr was kind enough to share with me what she had, but I'm still not happy with the state of my game. There's freakin' horses everywhere and the builds are default and I hate like 90% of the builds in my tray folder. I'm not the same Kong I was a year ago when I stopped screening.

Y'all are just going to have to deal with a few inconsistencies... if I take the time necessary to fix stuff to match my old screens. Your gal here is gonna give up on screening again.... Dont @ me on this. I swear on the saints that I will have a tirade of kaiju-like proportions.

Seriously, I just don't feel vibes with any of what is currently in my trays. You'll just have to deal... plain and simple.

btw, I'm bringing wilbur and judith back on another blog for actual gameplay.

Get them sexy games peeps.

GOG is taking a stand against payment processors caving to fundamentalist religious groups and is offering a bunch of "banned" games for free. (via Ashley Lynch on bsky)

I present my beautiful moron.

He is my son. You must love him. He's using the one brain cell to convince my hubby that he needs more temptations. He does this every single time.

PSA

As a general notice, none of my CC recolors or debugs to build cc, lots, trays etc posts are working anymore. I will redo them as I get time. CC is not my primary goal on here. You can always still ask me and I might be able to find it somewhere in this mess of a pc of mine.

I just didn't like the website anymore and my drives were getting full so I did a massive purge and it's all backed up on my physical drives... somewhere. I just need to go through them one at a time and update them. I've learned a few new tricks so maybe you'll see some conversions too.

NO

So... here's a hot take about people who hound you to do something you don't want to or aren't willing to do. I see so many people disappear forever or even for a few weeks because someone on this lousy app said something that hurt their feelings or drained emotionally.... you can solve all of that easily by just saying two letters. Two letters can help you so much more than you know.

Here it is.... the two letters....

NO

That's it. That's how easy this is and you're over complicating it and basically giving away your energy. Don't engage anymore than that no matter what is said. Don't post about it again, don't focus on it.

Don't spend one. solitary. second. more. on. it.

Delete, block, whatever... turn off anon so people have to be held accountable for their words and stop feeding them. You have word filter blocks (aside of tumblr savior). You have ways to help yourself.

You don't have to explain yourself to anyone at all period. When I was young, we had the the "just say no to drugs" campaign all over the place.

Now I'm telling you to do it. Just say NO, to negative vibes, to bullies, to trolls, the wolves of tumblr, and to things that offend or hurt you emotionally.

That's it...

it doesn't have to be anymore complex than that.

You ARE allowed to say NO and more people should use that. Including me... I'm not perfect at it myself, but my gods, it's such an easy word and it is a huge way to protect yourself. More of us need to learn to use the word.

sandman spoiler?? I wish I could actually talk about it.

wtf was that sandman season 2? It was fine, but my god, it was so much .... less... than season 1.
