Hi! Do you accept Sim requests?

sure! I’m busy with finals for the next week or 2, but i’ll try to work on stuff when I can

[osab]

I normally don't do this, but please do not download this CC pack. It not only has some of my default hairs which I explicitly asked people not to reupload, but entire 4t2 packs, clothes, mods and what look like bodyshop installations.

I've seen this before but not at this magnitude. I don't know which version of the hair defaults they nabbed, what mods they loaded...

Trying not to be a hater, but with no credit and potentially harmful concoctions of cc, I'd recommend to find the original sources which was predominantly items on LordCrumps.com, @deedee-sims, @mdpthatsme, @tvickiesims, @applewatersugar, @rascalcurious, etc

[TS2] Juno Birch's Stunning Sunglasses!

CU-EU, new custom mesh (from scratch✨, my first yes that's happening!) & texture, has shine in-game

3k polys, 512x512

Download:

Credits: @deedee-sims for glasses I used for extracting, @nonsensical-pixels for help/advice with importing the mesh to the game Also check out the Juno Birch genetics/makeup and outfit collections by at35z! and my lois griffin and lightning mcqueen 😚

let me know if there are any issues!

The previous ask made me remember that it's possible to sort of mix different terrain types by editing the NeighborhoodTerrain.ini in the game files, too. Doing this instantly affects all the neighborhoods using the edited terrain type.

The lot view still shows just one terrain type at a time, though. But when done like this, I assume the lot terrain type will automatically change based on what terrain the lot is mostly placed on.

I've never found a way to utilize this well for my own use, but that's probably due to the lack of patience to fiddle with it lol.

Underneath are the settings I used for the preview above, along with my notes. Just click on the pic for the bigger version (or open the picture in a new tab if you're reading this from the blog).

osab's lovely UE4 switch modding!!

since i got my hacked switch I've started modding some ue4 switch games to improve their bad graphics/antialiasing and unlock the FPS to 60! :3

if anyone else here is interested in switch modding/homebrew lmk! I will probably release the mods whenever I eventually perfect them.

Wizard Game (slider comparison):

Default FXAA vs my TAAU (same dynamic res internally)

FF7 Crisis Core Reunion (slider comparison):

Default (extremely blurry, ghosty, and speckly) TAA vs my TAAU (same dynamic res)

Also making one for Shin Megami Tensei V, sadly enabling TAAU crashes in this game and it only supports Gen4 TAA, but I'll keep working on it (and maybe vengeance will update the engine?). Balancing the ghosting/jitter in the older TAA is a CHALLENGE but I feel like it could still end up better than the shimmery fxaa if I keep messing.

Planning on Pikmin 4 next!

Hi Osab, WCIF the sims 2 CAS bodyshop background from your Lightning McQueen download post? Thank you

It’s by @socialbunny! and np :)

[osab]

hey! love the work in the ts2 starter pack. i just discovered wineskin for mac now supports dxvk/d9vk for directx games. could you help me with debugging why the game crashes on loading the title menu?

I’ve tried to, it looked like it’s using Vulkan 1.2 (I think TS2 might need 1.3 to work with DXVK) and gave some weird nonsense errors in the log :/

The translation to metal probably still needs some work. But getting to the EA Logo is definitely progress from before, it used to crash immediately and not even open.
