How to morph

You often ask me how I do my morphs. Of course, I can't (and won't) tell you too many tricks, but basically I work with the video function of Kling AI.

Here you can compare two images with each other, and then you should enter something like “A is morphing into B” as text:

The trick is to make sure that the two images have as much in common as possible. For example, both images should be dressed the same or have a similar pose. You can also achieve this in Kling AI by basing the second image on the first.

You will need a whole series of tries before you are happy with the results. With the free version, this is frustrating. That's why you should invest money for good results.

And that brings me to the second point: I get a whole series of asks. Implementing them takes time, but it's also a lot of fun. That's why I really enjoy investing the time. But it also costs real money.

So here's the deal: I'm afraid I'll only answer Asks in exchange for a ko-fi donation to my alter ego https://ko-fi.com/octuscle. A morph request in which I am free to implement and which I can also publish afterwards costs USD 5.00. A request for a personal change based on a real photo costs USD 10.00 if I am also allowed to publish it. And if you want your private GIF, which I will not publish, it costs USD 12.00.

Believe me, I easily spent USD 10.00 on my first good morphs. I think the price is fair.

If you have an answer to a technical question that you deliver in the form of a video that does not have an accompanying set of written instructions, I hope your french fries arrive cold for the rest of your life and all your subsequent reincarnations

The trust is broken at this point, Carson.

help i tried installing your downtown and it looks like this?

Hi, not sure 100% what's going on here but would need a lot more info to help out with troubleshooting. It looks like bits of the terrain have gaps in them, & I also see quite a lot of lots placed here which aren't part of my downtown, almost like several neighbourhoods combined & conflicting somehow? (I recognise some of the lots as being from bluewater village/pleasantview/the secret witch lot - I have no idea where those would be coming from or why that would happen?)

How did you install it? - did you follow the instructions and put the neighbourhood in your program files? What version of sims 2 are you playing? My best guess is maybe it's been extracted into the wrong place & combined with an exisiting neighbourhood somehow, but I'm honestly kinda stumped

Today, While I was in the middle of typing an email, Microsoft Outlook 365 popped up a window demanding feedback. And boy did I have shit to say.

I had to keep the swearing out, because apparently any report I make is duplicated and sent to the IT department. But the text I ended up sending follows:

---

God, I have so much to tell you. Thank you for giving me the opportunity. First: Stop messing with everything. Outlook works fine, but you keep changing things that don't need changing. Moving buttons around. Turning on features that I have explicitly turned off for not working before. Just today, you turned on the auto-suggestions again, which would be great if it actually worked. Instead, when it suggests anything you don't accept, it just mashes words together. Do you know how it feels to be typing a professional email and you miss one of those failures and send your email anyway? I mean, to be fair, I caught ten, so I still got a 90% on the ol' Microsoft-sanctioned-typo-factory. But the person I emailed doesn't see it that way, do they? They see that I mashed three words together like there was a wasp on the space bar.

Plus, my signature keeps getting deleted. Not just switched to nothing, but completely deleted. Which means I have to re-make that every time your developers get bored and decide to re-haul a program that absolutely never needs re-hauling. I remember once a couple months ago the attachment button just disappeared, and there was no way for me to attach a final bill. I had to actually use my personal gmail address to send an email to a customer because for about 16 hours, it was impossible to attach anything.

But, you say, I should have sent error reports. And I did. But the question in my mind always comes back to "why are you messing with something that does not need changing?" The only thing that ever happens is that you change aesthetics. Colors. This time the boxes are gone. Do you think you're at risk of losing customers? Do you think you have to keep things new and fresh? No. People are shackled to you. You have a quasi-monopoly and a stranglehold on a whole lot of workflows. People cannot leave you. In the world of word processing and spreadsheets, you are Alcatraz. You don't have to change things to keep people here.

Instead, long-time bugs continue to plague everything I do within this hell-suite of software. Sometimes when I try to start typing in the body of the email, outlook decides that, no, I don't want to type an email! I want to send the other emails in my inbox to the archive, where, if I don't notice this, they will sit and fester forever. There's also the bug where I create an email and it duplicates it and puts it in my drafts. Or the bug where it just creates a blank email and puts it in my drafts. Do you want to know how many blank emails I've deleted from my drafts folder? There are not enough numbers in existence to count this.

If you REALLY want to know how to improve Outlook and this message isn't just going into the wilderness like all those notebooks from the hit-TV-show-where-nobody-liked-the-ending, LOST, then please. Listen. From the bottom of my heart and from the top of my lungs: Stop changing everything. Nothing needs changing. Just run a good service. Get your programmers onto fixing longstanding bugs instead of trying to make an email and scheduling program look like a fashion show in Paris.

And if I seem a little ticked off in this message, it's because your request for feedback popped up in the middle of me compiling an email, which was just about halfway done. Outlook, in all its wisdom, decided that I didn't actually need that email and went ahead and deleted all the text in it. All of it. So after I finish giving you an earful, I'm going to have to retype it.

Hope this helps. Have a wonderful day.

Hey, i downloaded Nekojima an put it in the neighborhoods files but i can't find it in the game unfortunately. I have the Legacy Sims 2 edition. Can you please help me or tell me how it works with the new legacy edition?

Answering this, too:

I am sorry, I am not super familiar with Legacy collection and am not planning on buying it so can only offer limited support based on my best guess! I haven't tested Nekojima with Legacy collection, but can't think of any reason it wouldn't work?

I am not sure exactly what the folder structure is like for Legacy, but according to reddit, it's "Documents > EA Games > Sims 2 Legacy > Neighborhoods". This is where you put the NEK0 folder. It needs to go in your documents (like when installing mods), & NOT in your Program Files.

Hopefully this clears things up!

I would love to hear from other legacy players if the neighborhood works in your game?? And if you have any problems with Nekojima, if other custom neighborhoods work as normal for you?

Working on kling AI. Any further tips on how to use it such as prompts etc. I just started and getting inconsistent results and not good ones either. Any advise will be great

To be honest, for me everything is still try and error. "A is morphing into B" is still my standard prompt. It all depends on the pics I use. The better they fit togehter, the better are the morphs...

Don't try to connect completely different images. At least with me, that usually goes disastrously wrong.

hey guys this is a really random post but I'm looking for technical support for my drawing tablet (Gaomon PD1161)

I have been using this tablet for years, it works fine other than the cursor being a bit skewed sometimes. Recently, like a few weeks ago, when I plugged it in the green light turns red, the logo shows, but then it says "no signal" and "power saving" after that. The screen stays black. I can use the little buttons on the side to go through the tablet menu and resetting it there doesn't do anything. I can still use my pen on it, the cursor still shows up on my laptop screen but the tablet itself doesn't show anything so it works like a screenless tablet. The gaomon app on my laptop says the device is connected and my laptop recognizes the device is connected but when I go to displays and tell it to detect another display it can't find one.

I've tried following a lot of tutorials and troubleshooting but nothing has worked :( weirdly enough the screen does turn on when plugged into my older laptop, but I don't have that laptop set up for drawing so I can't use it there. I think it's a problem with my current drawing laptop which is annoying because like I said I have been using this tablet and laptop together for years. Anyone have any ideas and/or experienced something similar?

Ok, posting this here, too, because maybe there's a little genius amongst you folks over here gdhfhf

[anakinfolkloredreams13]

Does anyone know where I could find Awake 2007 MP4 file to download? Or where can I download the movie on my computer. I tried using prime, it doesn't allow me to have it in my computer with the file. I tried using Plex, and it won't let me download it because it's a movie on demand. I'm just really frustrated because I want the video for screencapping

[uroboros-if]

Can the demo be played on all browsers? Or only certain browsers like Chome, Edge etc. This is probably just an isolated incident (me, I'm the incident lol) but it doesn't work on the browser I currently use: Firefox. It's probably just me though, if it works on firefox then you can ignore this ^^

Hi Anon! I think I know what you mean! Is your error "no valid storage adapters found"?

Technically it should be able to, but you're likely using Firefox for its added privacy benefits. In that case, it's probably because you've disabled your cookies.

I believe that's because of the way saves work, as those saves are obviously not stored on your local hard drive.

You might want to allow cookies if you are set on running it in Firefox. I also get this error using Chrome Incognito because of, again, disabled cookies.

If that's not the error, then I'd be happy to investigate if you give me more details! Thanks for sending an ask 💕💕
