Why I've Been Inactive

Hey friends! Its been a bit, hasn't it? I know most of you probably haven't noticed, but to those of you who have Im sorry for leaving without saying anything. Heres some reasons why

Time. Last September my first year of highschool started. I'm sure all of you know freshman year is overwhelming, and i didn't want to be worried about my blog on top of school. I'm already shitty enough at time management and I didn't want my performance or grades to suffer.

I was becoming bored of Sims 4. Even as new content was released I just got bored of it. Which is fine. I moved on from the sims to play and focus on other games i enjoyed playing. Not saying I never play the sims anymore, but i have less interest.

This is really sad to say, but Tumblr isn't a great platform for minors. As some of you know there is so many pedophiles lurking here. There is a community of pedophiles that call themselves Minor Attracted People. I personally, didnt feel safe being totally active on this platform. In the past I had gotten creeps in my dms, and I decided it wasnt very safe, even if direct messaging from people i dont follow is off.

Am I coming back?

Sorta. If I still feel like making content I will, and there are some old projects I'd like to get out into the public. Making content will not be a priority. I don't want to stress myself out feeling obligated to always create. It is exhausting.

Thank you for reading <3 Hope you all understand and have a good morning/afternoon/evening.

Here are them! ♥

At the beginning of this blog, I posted my first piece of cc, my Yume Eyes, and found that they needed a little love, so I tried to redraw them in a more colorful and bright style!

These are still the default colors of EA, but since I made a psd for it, it will be easier to recolor, so you can wait for more colors ^^

18 EA colors for Humans (ONLY);

Default - Non-default - Face Paint - .psd are in the folder;

Black swatch is really black;

Vibrant Unnatural swatches;

HD Textures.

Lots of ace people find romantic or queerplatonic relationships incredibly fulfilling, but that doesn’t mean you need a partner to be happy. In fact, many people are perfectly content without a partner, and that’s completely valid!

POSING TUTORIAL: NATURAL POSES

Hewwoo!! Welcome to posing tips & tricks with Bee vol. 2! (You can find the first one here [x] ) This time, I gathered up some tips for natural looking poses. Let’s go!

1. Shoulders

Do you see the difference between this and this?

Yes, I can see that too. The Clavicle points make all the difference my friends. They are your friends, they are nice, they are good for you. So please use them. Let’s start over, step by step:

2. Spine

Bend the spine gradually. That’s all. (At least it’s easy to remember lol) These points should look like they are bent gradually, I mean, unless you’re trying to achieve the other one…

3. Height Difference

When making poses with height difference, the most important thing is stretching multiple points subtly, so the overall proportions can be preserved.

When selecting symmetrical points, like ankles, first select one and then, holding shift, select the other one, then use the blue arrow to stretch them simultaneously (so that they would be even). 

4. Reference Pics

I don’t usually do that, but having reference pics is good when you’re making complicated poses. 

After adding your reference picture, you can make your complicated pose more easily.

5. Listen to Blender

Okay, this is maybe the easiest but most crucial tip: If you’re trying to bend or twist something, and Blender makes it look bad, it’s most probably because what you’re trying to do is anatomically incorrect. Let’s say, if you want to twist a hand, you should start twisting it from the shoulders, again, gradually.

6. Mind the Gap!

Another crucial tip especially for making couple/group poses, don’t make them touch each other tightly. If you leave a subtle gap between them, you can prevent clipping in game. There are two reasons for that, first, the physical features of your sims are usually different than these rigs’, and secondly, these rigs are (almost) naked, you gotta leave some space for clothes.

7. Take breaks!

Okay I know it’s not exactly a blender tip but try to rest your eyes in every 30 mins, and by resting, I mean look at somewhere else, stand up, take a walk to the kitchen or bathroom, open a window, look at the sky. Staring at all these little dots is tiring for your eyes so try to give them a break once in a while.

That’s all for today, hope it was helpful! Take care guys :)

guys I feel like nothing a make is good enough to release. ON top of that it just looks really bad. I wish everything I made looked as polished and pretty as other creators but I just cant. Feeling very uninspired lately
