I think my family tree is a little large

[oceansmotion]

My last build, and I think it was the most difficult lot I've ever done.

I knew I wanted a bowling alley, but how I wanted it was another story. I built, deleted, rebuilt, deleted again, left it to concentrate on other lots, came back and start over. Tired and stressed, this was the best I could do.

Put a karaoke bar upstairs, which I like enough.

reconsidering my MM era

Heyyyyyy guyss! it's been a while huh? lol! Anyway, here's something I've decided to share with you today, hope you guys like it! Recently, @blackswan-sims retextured these two hairs! but unfortunately, the polycount for both were unnecessarily high! Luckily, I was in the mood to play around in Blender and this is what I came up with! I'm also throwing in 2 more hairs that was just sitting in my folder and I thought maybe someone out there might be interested? Now to the download info below!

4 Polycount Reduced Wigs! Alessio Studio

OLD Polycount: 27,046 NEW Polycount: 14,407 Ages: Toddler - Elder Mesh: Coolsims/Alesso/Anto, converted by Martini I also resized the hair for toddlers so it looks closer to the adult version, comparison pics below!

Cazy B-Day Gift C11

OLD Polycount: 27,778 NEW Polycount: 13,943 Ages: Teen - Elder Mesh: Cazy, converted by Cazy and teen stage added by Marja I lowered the hair just a tad bit to make the forehead because it was a little too high for me, unfortunately, there's a little bit of clipping with the breast as you can see from the picture below. Perhaps, I may go back and fix it in the future when I'm more experienced with milkshape/blender lol

Hi! I recently downloaded Berrybury to translate it and I love it! Unfortunately, because I play in another language than English the Sims names are completely changed (even ancestral ones!) to randomly generated, and I was just wondering if there was a possibility you could make a full list of the names of the Sims in the neighborhood?

Hello! I have created a list of all the Sims in Berrybury as well as made a terrible picture in paint to show which family is where. @goatskickin had this issue as well and figured out how to fix that here! Allen Family Auguste Dupin - Poe's father Poe Allen - toddler Annabel Allen - Poe's mother (deceased) Madame Eugenie Allen - Annabel's mother (deceased) Gordon Allen - Annabel's father (deceased) MacBeth Family Lorna MacBeth - Matriarchy Angus MacBeth - Patriarchy Elspeth MacBeth - daughter (child) Rory MacBeth - son (teen) Fergus Ferguson - Lorna's father (deceased) Fiona Ferguson - Lorna's mother (deceased) Duncan MacBeth - Angus's father (deceased) Divya MacBeth - Angus's father (deceased) Starveling Family Ikelos Starveling Shailyn Starveling MacDuff Family Daibhidh MacDuff - Patriarchy Catriona MacDuff - Matriarchy Wallace MacDuff - son (child) Fionnuala MacDuff - daughter (teen) Emily Gemmell - Daibhidh's mother (deceased) James Gemmell - Daibhidh's father (deceased) Padraig MacDuff - Catriona's mother (deceased) Grace MacDuff - Catriona's mother (deceased) Apollonia Family Priam Apollonia - Patriarchy Hecuba Apollonia - Matriachy Zenna Apollonia - daughter (teen) Troy Apollonia - son (teen) Laomedon Apollonia - Priam's father (deceased) Strymo Apollonia - Priam's mother (deceased) Dymas Hellenic - Hecuba's father (deceased) Euagora Hellenic - Hecuba's mother (deceased) Okimura Family Matsukichi Okimura - Matriarchy Mitsurugi Okimura - Patriarchy Criseyde Okimura - daughter (teen)

Aoife's Maxis Match Face Templates UPDATED.

Now less gendered, more consistent between ages, and with baby faces! More info and a bunch of pictures below.

Finally, after months, I have finished these. A long time ago now, I'd made my original templates but didn't really pay any mind to how gendered faces really are, and how inconsistent they are between each age. I love the Maxis faces, I just wanted them to look a little less lumpy, and to replace ones that I felt were redundant. Basically, I hated that with any given template, I couldn't really tell what a sim was going to look like as an adult because every face looked different at each stage!

So today I bring to you my less gendered Maxis Match templates, where I have chosen which face I felt was more iconic and matched the other gender with it, and then made every age look more like that template (including baby faces).

Martin Ruben can be a good example:

Yeah, sure, the eyes are the same, but that's pretty much where the likeness ends. A lot of the templates will do this, and some of the female faces suffered for it (jaws were outlawed on females in 2004, didn't you know?)

They aren't perfect but they're miles better than the originals! I also think they bring a lot more variety to faces, because I did notice that a lot of the templates would use face parts from entirely different templates! Face 2's eyes and face 1's nose are really popular, as well as yeeting jaws and chins out the window.

Faces 1 - 4

Faces 5 - 8

Faces 9 - 12

Faces 13 - 16

Faces 17 - 20

Faces 21 - 24

Faces 25 - 27

An example between AF and TF

and the same face as a child and toddler.

If you noticed in some of the pictures, the ears clipped through a few hairs, and that's because I also took the liberty of adding custom ear shapes to almost every face. No, it didn't occur to me to change the hairstyle I picked for photos until I was already on face 18 and didn't want to start over.

These aren't perfect, and maybe someday I'll go over them again to change more minute details, but for now, I'm very happy with how they turned out! Please let me know if there are any issues, I triple checked everything but I probably missed something somewhere.

Credits: Meowingcookie on MTS for their baby face templates. I pretty much just used their baby faces with some tweaks to better match my changes.

@withlovefromsimtown for giving me the idea in the first place. I love their faces!

hey, sorry to bug you! i'm having a bit of an issue with berrybury. i have the updated subhood version added to the ofb folder, but it's not showing up in-game. the one that disappeared showed up in the menu so i'm not sure what the cause of this is. it's a lovely hood and i can't wait to play it with my veronaville! thank you for making it.

Hello! Yeah, I put it up download in case people want it, but for some reason, whenever I personally convert the mainhood into a subhood, the subhood reverts back into a mainhood and disappears. I have no idea what caused it, and I keep meaning to go back and figure it out, just havent. To use BB as a subhood, simply convert the mainhood into a subhood, and it'll stay. It's only when I do it that it doesnt. lol.

hi

[oceansmotion]

I'd be finished remaking my default templates if the male/female faces made literally any sense. The AM face model is bad and maxis should feel bad.

[oceansmotion]

I'm starting to go a little crazy and I've only done a handful. But I'm really liking them, faces between ages/gender is even more annoying.

Decided that I'm not miserable enough so I started a new thing

I've decided that I want to make my default face templates less gendered, more consistent between ages, and add baby faces.

Send help.

it doesnt even look right but I'm so tired of looking at Komei's face. my annoyance means I'm happy with it until I go back and fix it.

A very pink mansion, hold the soup

Someone wanted a pink mansion and I obliged. 5 bedroom, 4 bathrooms, an office, and a lot of pink. Mostly furnished, but left the bedrooms bare other than the master.

More pictures below

I think I used almost every pink item in the game lol. It's entirely CC free, never lived in, and costs 229k. disclaimer: if you get pink soup, it has nothing to do with me.

My sims keep spawning townie names?

Now, here I thought I'd have a nice little time playing @oceansmotion's Berrybury, when I get THIS ^ issue.

If you don't know, Berrybury is Shakespeare themed. So a name like 'Tara Tomyoy' is most certainly wrong.

Everyone in the whole hood has the wrong name :/

To be fair, this is not exclusive to this hood.

It's been happening in my main hood of Pitstop Valley too. The last name I've blacked out is not Springs-Eternal (Patrick's actual last name) but something generated. Also, he's a ghost.

These are certainly not the MacBeth's, lol. In my opinion, this started happening slowly after my big game change last December. I'm using 'Mr DJ' now, if you know what that is.

I can always change the names back in SimPE but what a pain! What's causing this? Is it some mod I have? I have no name mods that I can think of.

[oceansmotion]

Someday I might try to find old pictures of Ocean, but for now, here he is gloating about getting paid while the coworker he brought home fades away because he murdered her generations go.

All while Melody Tinker beats up Montgomery Grisly, Ocean's great-great-great-great-great grandson.
