Pharaoh Atem's Earrings from YuGiOh

A Realistic Render

This is an update for @little-missvee who is trying to create Atem for the Sims 3 which she mentions in her post. I've started creating Pharaoh Atem's earrings. I'm 40 hours into the project right now.

So far, I've made the max quality version you see here rendered on the Sims 4 body in Blender Cycles. I've modeled the design after a cover image from the manga and added lapis lazuli and carnelian inlays.

It is quite beautiful, but with 11,736 vertices and 23,416 triangles, it will definitely crash your game.

From here, the work is to bring that number down into game-friendly range while keeping as much quality as possible. Since I'm working from high to low poly, I'll probably complete a version for the Sims 4 first as I'm closer to that benchmark. The Sims 3 version will require different decimation techniques, which I can apply next.

By the way, if anyone is interested in seeing tutorials for creating custom content, let me know in the comments. That is a direction I am considering, but I'd like to know what you think. I am also entertaining the idea of taking commissions.

We did actually manage to collect the axe within the 12 hours left on the clock, but there's still a lot of stuff left in the tomb, and I can't stand leaving things unfinished. I can, however, stand to cheat my way around this tomb because the zeneport situation is truly insufficient. Has anyone completed this tomb without cheating? Couldn't be me.

And here's the floorplan :)

The house also has 6 solar panels installed on the roof and it's very own electricty generator - it’s also made of 100% recycled materials!

This house is now up for download here!

There's still quite a bit of work to be done with furnishing the house, but there's only so much I can do with the funds Amy and Do have lol - My next job is working on Amy's design studio up in the attic and furnishing the roof decks a little bit more!

Oh also just to say that I didn't make the shell I don't take credit for that! It's a makeover of 'Ancient Modernity' which is an EA premade build in Twinbrook :)

Soooo.. I did something! I already wanted to post this on October 31st but life came into the way and I just finished the last Sim today! :D These are the Moirai often known as the Fates in greek mythology. I was inspired making them because of a music video! The Moirai (comes from ancient greek which means "lots, destinies, apportioners") were three sisters: Clotho (the spinner) - the youngest sister (Sim with white hair) Lachesis (the allotter) - the middle sister (Sim with red hair) Atropos (the inevitable) - the oldest sister (Sim with black hair)

The role of the Moirai was to ensure that every being, mortal and divine, lived out their destiny as it was assigned to them by the laws of the universe.

I hope you like them! I took me a while to make all of them but it was so much fun! Let me know which one is your favourite!

Tribe of Nêsos 5: Eleía

Éar and Orthós have long had trouble with children, and the harsh change in climate has not improved their chances. Yet, as if through a miracle, eight years after their oldest son Húdros, little Opheléo has struggled his way out of infancy.

On a personal side note, Éar and Orthós make the cutest children.

Orthós decided that since they'd had much luck defending their small family with the help of dogs, more dogs = less danger. He was, of course, completely correct in his assumptions.

Rick Buckler RIP

Sad news that some time drummer and more full time antique furniture restorer (and a very bloody good one at that ...) Mr Buckler has died - and with it any lingering hope that one of the most successful bands in British music history will ever get back together.

However, since we did this way back in 2012, (oh, and one of us did this) we do reserve the right on this occasion to resurrect in tribute a certain joke that has become remarkably ever more true as the years have rolled by:

'We say, we say, we say - what does Paul Weller have in common with scones?'

'We don't know Mares, what does Paul Weller have in common with scones?' They're both UTTERLY SHIT without THE JAM!

Oh, and this song never aged either ... both the tune and the bittersweet lyric:

I hope the Year of the Dragon is starting well for everyone!

Today we are visiting the Yu family, and the round won't be very eventful, but that's usually a good thing.

ROS gods weren't mad at Shime Yu and her son Sangen. She saw a witch somewhere in the world, but she cowardly ran away before anything bad could happen. She needed to spend the whole round resting in bed, but she turned out OK (I infected her with the flu, and with food poisoning as well).

The only problem is she wasn't be able to open her store... and they didn't have enough to pay even the rent alone. They are going to be in debt, and it's a first for my historical sims. They will just pay double the rent fee next round, I think.

It is a bit surprising to me the fishermen are having issues paying the bills, but it's because it's a single mom who can't open her business this round. They do have stock to sell but they can't sell it (I don't want to sell in buy mode).

I suppose it makes sense, since it's winter and the pond was frozen over for most of the round. Nobody would expect to be able to purchase fish. The pond did thaw, so Sangen could fish for a little while, which allowed him to get the Bronze Fishing Badge.

Thankfully Sangen aged up from toddler into a child at the very beginning of the round, so he could take care of himself just fine as a kid. He prepared sweets for himself and his mom on the toy oven. He's going to be cooking food for his mom when she's an elder too probably, as his Cooking is level 3 already.

i spent a lot of my weekend playing sims 3 and mannn i forgot how much i loved that game, but it also makes me miss the sims 4 like crazy

rambling thoughts below (also if you played s3 what do you miss or not miss about it???)

sims 4 just does a much better job with relationships and dynamics between sims, which makes it such a good platform for storytelling and i miss that because all my sims 3 sims’ relationships just seem so flat

but there’s something about sims 3 that just makes it so playable. the open world truly was so nice, i love not having loading screens anytime i leave the lot and being able to toggle between sims as they go about their day - i miss it so much in sims 4

also the autonomy in sims 3 just seems so much better, when i leave my sims to their devices they always seem to want to clean up or play with the dog, but in s4 it’s play video games or drink water and leave dirty cups around, plus they spend so much more time actually doing things instead of standing around (maybe this is just because i didn’t excessively mod my game fro s3 but still)

and the wants in s3 are so much better than whims in s4, something about the way they’re displayed just makes me actually want to complete them, and i love that lifetime aspirations show up as wants for kids and teens

other things from s3 i missed:

- pets are more doable- in s4 they’re always running away from neglect because my sims don’t interact with them unless i make them

- separation between worlds- i wish you could travel to other worlds for vacation like you can the ones from world adventures, but i like that your world is contained in s3, everyone at the school lives in your world, everyone at your job lives in your world, you can maintain relationships with people from other worlds but they’re not showing up at your door every day (esp. in the context of a decades challenge, if your sims immigrate from europe to america you won’t be seeing your european auntie walking down the street in your neighborhood)

-color wheel - oh my god, i had almost forgotten, this genuinely was a heartbreaker when s4 came out, there was so much variability in cas and build in s3, even with limited clothing options you could create unique looks for your sims with different patterns and textures and you weren’t restricted to the awful ea options

-clothes- something about the s3 basegame clothing option, it’s just very workable and versatile, maybe i think this because trends have come full circle, but a few years ago when i jumped into s3 again i remember being so tickled with the outfit options

-teens- there’s something about s3 teens that just makes them better, maybe because they made them look like teens by making them shorter instead of just scrawny, but with generations teens just feel more fully fleshed out than in s4 (i don’t have growing together or high school years so ig that’s on me, but also i can’t afford both of those packs)

-packs- something that has really been grinding my gears for the almost TEN YEARS since s4 came out is how much extra content you have to purchase, for s3 if you wanted game content, for the most part you got it through expansion packs, but s4 is just excessive with expansion packs, game packs, stuff packs, kits, etc. there’s just so many features that you want in your game, but it costs a small fortune to get them all because they’re distributed across packs that cost up to $40

-PRICE- i have so many nostalgic memories of saving up my $20 to go to target and buy a new expansion pack for s3, then the joy i felt when it was on sale, every s3 expansion was, and still is, $20 but for s4 they’re twice that, the only time i can ever justify purchasing anymore is when they’re on sale

- rabbitholes- it seems like for s4 they did away with a lot of rabbitholes, just not work and school (except with packs), it was nice being able to send my sims to the movies or the bistro for a date night and not have to be following them the whole time, making them interact

- ownership- maybe it’s just me but i miss physically having the boxes the games came in and putting the disk into the computer and having the little icon for every pack on my desktop, i don’t like how everything’s through origin or the ea app now, esp. because for whatever reason s3 university got uninstalled on my moms pc and ea wanted me to buy it and when i used the code from the box it said it had already been applied (i only have the one account i have no clue why tf they took university from me) and if i didn’t have the disk i wouldn’t have been able to reinstall

- i also miss little things, like ordering pizza and seeing my sims drive around and catching birds in the wild and holiday festivals

Midnight: Maybe.. I dunno, Tam. I just feel weird. What if I don't ever want to date anybody?

Tamber: Well then you and I can live together until we're old and wrinkly and I'll date enough people for the both of us. We can be weirdos together! Two leaves in a log.

Midnight: That's not- *laughs* Okay. It's a plan.
