I will be updating my blog to be Sims 3 focused. I don't think I'm going to purge anything yet, but I want to learn to make Sims 3 CC and put it on this blog.

The Making of Another Legacy

I am going to be redoing my Legacy challenge with a new founder. Last time, I had gotten maybe 4 or 5 generations in before I lost the challenge. This time around, I'm hoping to get a *little* further. Hopefully. Fingers Crossed.

New Origin ID and Some News

Hi there! Before I say anything else, my new Origin ID is Matcha_Sims_CC. I wanted to change it real quick to match all of my other stuff.

Now that's out of the way, I'm thinking of diving into making Sims 2 Custom Content and Mods. I enjoy making them for the Sims 4, but I overall enjoy the Sims to more. The gameplay is more entertaining and I can overlook the dated CAS and Build Mode.

Obviously, I'm still going to play TS4 and still make CC (I know I've had a pretty long Hiatus), but I was thinking of either making a separate blog for Sims 2 content.

If any of you out there have suggestions of what I should do, let me know please! I'm not sure if keeping it all on the same blog or separating it is better. I also don't really have any knowledge on making stuff for the Sims 2 so any tips or tricks would be welcome as well!

TIL they hinted the Paranormal Stuff Pack in Snowy Escape.

Hi, friends!

I’ve decided to create an offshoot of a specific fruit based legacy challenge. There was some problematic happenings within the simblr community, and the creator has since left, and their legacy challenge was deleted with their blog.

@tangymagnolia​ had the wonderful idea of revamping the challenge so that my legacy, and others’ legacies, and our hard work in developing them, wouldn’t be for naught. Luckily, I had written down the other legacy challenge, so I’ll be able to avoid directly copying generations.

This is not a copy of the original challenge, but an inspiration from it. If you were previously participating in that challenge, please take a gander at this one below the cut.

The challenge won’t be just around fruit, but everything will be edible in some way. I expanded the challenges to what you may find inside a cornucopia, and from what I’ve found, some cornucopias are more diverse than others, so I smashed them all together.

Feel free to tag me in your posts so I can follow along with your challenge!

Tutorial For Adding Colour Slider To CC Hair. Clothes, Shoes

This is a tutorial on how to add a colour slider for cc hair, clothes, shoes etc. Links to resources are highlighted in bold within the steps for you. The tutorial can also be found publicly on my patreon for easier viewing here :)

Step one: download thepancake1 and MixoreYukii’s UI colour slider - (link is at the bottom of their post), for this you only need the UI, you do not need all of the downloads that add the slider to the sims 4 maxis hairs and clothes.

Step two: download an up-to-date version of the sims4studio (pick windows or mac version)

Step three: create a folder somewhere called ‘batch exports’ (the name honestly isn’t important, just something you will remember, can put the folder anywhere)

Step four: open up the cc package you want to add the colour slider to via sims4studio, for this tutorial I am using oma-simmer’s Panda hair.

Step five: go into ‘warehouse’ in the cc package.

Step six: select tools, modding, convert RLE2 to LRLE

Step seven: once sims4studio is finished converting the files, select done and then highlight all of the new LRLE files and select ‘batch export’, export these files to the folder I asked you to create earlier.

Step eight: at this point you should not have saved the cc file, exit the file leaving it unchanged and getting rid of the RLE2 to LRLE conversions you made.

Step nine: Re-open the cc package in it’s original state, go back into warehouse and select ‘batch import’, import all of the LRLE files that you exported into your ‘batch exports’ folder.

After importing these LRLE files you should now have the original RLE2 files and the new LRLE files both inside the cc package. Now click save.

In game you should now have a colour slider for this cc hair.

Here are links to videos of me using the new slider in-game for this cc hair, some cc clothes and shoes.

I really hope this tutorial made sense, if you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask! Of course the major credit has to go to thepancake1 and MizoreYukii for managing to use the slider tool and apply it to hair, clothes etc! This is a really cool improvement for the sims game :)

Rosebud Legacy: FAILURE

I had a really fun time with this legacy challenge, and although I failed, I’ll keep it up. However, the save was lost, so I can’t play it further. If any of you have other challenges you think I should play through, let me know! I’m open to suggestions. I might make a video or blog series surrounding it.

[matcha-sims-cc]

Within a week, 2 SimGurus officially announced that they’ve left Maxis. SimGuruDuke and Assistant Producer Reed Pake have gone away. Another SimGuru, SimGuruSarah put on Twitter that she is a “Former Associate Producer”. 

It’s crazy that within a week, 3 people within the studio have left in some capacity. It makes me wonder why these people have decided to go different ways. Was it us as a community, EA as an employer, or their personal goals conflicting with the company’s? Maybe it was all three.

It makes me worry about the future of the Sims Franchise. Will this help or hinder current and future endeavors? The Sims 4 hasn’t been well received and I have little hope for The Sims 5. Maybe with new people filling the vacant positions, we’ll have a turn for the better? Or maybe this is a sign of conflict within the team, maybe so much conflict that future iterations of the Sims will be unplayable, lifeless shells of the Golden Era that it was. Some could argue that it already is, but I don’t think so. Not yet, at least.

Anyway, hopefully these three people not being in their positions in the studio doesn’t affect anything in a bad way. Especially with the fact that supposedly an unknown Expansion Pack is in the final stage of development (which is also weird to me because it seems a little early for that)... That’s the end of my rant, take with it what you will.
