I dunno if this was already a tag game at some point, but I used this Picrew to make me and then make my parame, and I thought it would be fun! So, here are mine:

New Temple of Jumbok IV Recolour

Above is a before and after in Blender. I'm seriously proud of my remapping work on this model.

I was rooting around in the Sims 4 Studio File Cruiser, looking for the lightning, fire and poison cloud textures for the temple gateway (I didn't find them. If anyone knows where they are, please help!) and I found this (hidden?) green and gold texture for the temple walls. So I fished it out and used it for another recolour for my fountain default replacement. The default replacement and CEP are required or this recolour will not work.

I've updated the original post's download zip, but if you just want the extra recolour, you can get it here:

The Best News of Last Week

🦾 - High-Five for Bionic Hand

1. Houston-area school district announces free breakfast and lunch for students

Pasadena ISD students will be getting free breakfast and lunch for the 2023-24 school year, per an announcement on the district's social media pages.

The 2023-24 free lunch program is thanks to a Community Eligibility Provision grant the district applied for last year. The CEP, which is distributed by the Department of Agriculture, is specially geared toward providing free meals for low-income students.

2. Dolphin and her baby rescued after being trapped in pond for 2 years

A pair of dolphins that spent nearly two years stuck in a Louisiana pond system are back at sea thanks to the help of several agencies and volunteers.

According to the Audubon Nature Institute, wildlife observers believe the mother dolphin and her baby were pushed into the pond system near Grand Isle, Louisiana, during Hurricane Ida in late August 2021.

3. Studies show that putting solar panels over waterways could boost clean energy and conserve water. The first U.S. pilot project is getting underway in California.

Some 8,000 miles of federally owned canals snake across the United States, channeling water to replenish crops, fuel hydropower plants and supply drinking water to rural communities. In the future, these narrow waterways could serve an additional role: as hubs of solar energy generation.

4. Gene therapy eyedrops restored a boy's sight. Similar treatments could help millions

Antonio was born with dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, a rare genetic condition that causes blisters all over his body and in his eyes. But his skin improved when he joined a clinical trial to test the world’s first topical gene therapy.

The same therapy was applied to his eyes. Antonio, who’s been legally blind for much of his 14 years, can see again.

5. Scientists develop game-changing vaccine against Lyme disease ticks!

A major step in battling Lyme disease and other dangerous tick-borne viruses may have been taken as researchers announced they have developed a vaccine against the ticks themselves.

Rather than combatting the effects of the bacteria or microbe that causes Lyme disease, the vaccine targets the microbiota of the tick, according to a paper published in the journal Microbiota on Monday.

6. HIV Transmission Virtually Eliminated in Inner Sydney, Australia

Sydney may be the first city in the world to end AIDS as a public health threat by 2030. Inner Sydney has reduced new HIV acquisitions by 88%, meaning it may be the first locality in the world to reach the UN target to end AIDS as a public health threat by 2030

7. New bionic hand allows amputees to control each finger with unprecedented accuracy

In a world first, surgeons and engineers have developed a new bionic hand that allows users with arm amputations to effortlessly control each finger as though it was their own body.

Successful testing of the bionic hand has already been conducted on a patient who lost his arm above the elbow.

Random Recolors 2

Another upload of things I felt like recoloring but didn't want to make a bunch of different upload posts for (and a few minor edits since I can't leave things alone).

3T2 Biscay TV in pushing daisies colors. I repo'd the small tv to the large tv. Swatch

3T2 Servo charge station in kosmic color combos and a few randoms. Swatch

I separated the woot pallet on the ATS Scratching Rug into a separate subset. It comes in various muted wood colors from 13pumpkin/peppermintginger/simsinlowspace. Swatch

Ceiling Sprinkler in wire and solder metals though I feel like they came out on the lighter side. Requires my ceiling sprinkler cep extra, which is included. Swatch

3T2 Feather cat toy in random hair color curves combos. I edited the wall piece subset so it recolors with the feathers. I also removed a few pixels from the texture to remove a weird line on some of the transparent areas. Swatches 1-4 include grayscale and metallic recolors for the stick subset. Swatch

The Great Divide fence in cluedo woods and rough metals. I left out the smooth metals since they didn't look good no matter what I did. Swatch

3T2 Limited Edition Scratching Post in a different set of random hair color curves combos. Swatch

All files are compressed with included swatches, meshes, and preview. I believe I renamed a few of the mesh files so check for any duplicates. Download | Alt

Black Frames with Maxis Details are from this post. These edits only include the frame subsets because the cushions are already in the seat subset

Michelle AL Wood are from this post. Frame and seat subsets are included

I'm so happy I can finally show you this gang after spending so much time with them! I'm a co-writer, co-director, voice actor, sound designer, and illustrator* for Vall Enforcall, a new fiction podcast aimed at children that can hopefully be enjoyed by people of all ages. For those of you who speak Catalan, I'd be honored if you gave it a listen.

I'll share some art process posts in the following weeks! In the meantime, meet Arti, Ena, Cep, and Plasma.

*If any of you were wondering why I was gone for months, that's mainly why, btw. Five job titles in a single project will do that to you.
