Frames Slaved to Bella Squared

I'm slaving all the things! While I'm at it I'm making a few new things too! Everything has new GUIDs and will not overwrite. Clockwise from the top left:

DOWNLOAD 4t2 Blooming Beauty, History of the World, and Rock My Universe were originally converted by Lordcrumps.

DOWNLOAD Travel Square by lmhwjs.

DOWNLOAD Leyland Home Travel. Middle size converted by Thimblesims, small and large versions by me.

DOWNLOAD Grilled Squares originally made by Graverobber.

It Will Last Longer Addons

4t2 Strange Reminiscences and Mix Pix Slaved to my It Will Last Longer!

Download Strange Reminiscences Will Last Longer (sfs)

Download Mix Pix Will Last Longer (sfs)

Strange Reminiscences was originally converted by @tvickiesims, these versions have a shiny new GUIDs so both can live happily together in your game. Horizontal version is slaved to vertical.... that's why its got a weird shadow. I'm not sure if I'll keep it, but I've included it for completeness. All frame RCs from TV's conversion included.

Mix Pix frames were converted by @lordcrumps, but these versions have a shiny new GUIDs, too. All frame RCs from LCs conversion included.

Enjoy!

A thing I am doing in my game: ALL the square paintings repo'd to Bella Squared and ALL the recolors moved to that mesh. I'm nuts.

WIP! Things slaved to It Will Last Longer

[threadandsandpaper]

So. What do you do with an empty catalog section?

You fill it with all the things you forget to use because they are scattered all over and you can NEVER FIND THE ONE YOU WANT. Seating recliners is now full of signs and notices and dividers and awnings and pergola, HURAH!

So tidy! Makes me all happy on the inside.

The Great Reorganization

I'm reorganizing my whole buy mode catalog. I'm insane. But also: I love my new system. Can I show you my sofa section? I'm gonna show you my sofa section:

LOOK! All of the matching pieces of a set are next to each other!!!!! And all the arm chairs and recliners and benches came to live in this category too! I get that it's not super realistic to have an arm chair and couch be the same price, but I DONT CARE. I can find what I am looking for and not have to wonder if the matching pieces even exist.

And the bonus? I've got two whole EMPTY categories to put other stuff in.

P.S. I know I have some blue items.... they work fine when placed, I dunno what their problem is :P

How do you make an object 'walk around'

So silent lucidity's blocks are a lifesaver but sometimes I know I want an object to ALWAYS be walkaround. How do you edit an object so sims path around/through it? Can anyone point me to a tutorial? I can't seem to find one myself.

[threadandsandpaper]

I few days ago I saw someone post a mini tutorial on how to get an object to reflect light consistant with a wall. Like a goober, I didn't reblog it or like it or anything... but now I WANT IT. I cant find it. Does anyone know the post i'm talking about? could you point me to it?

Thanks!

A long time ago I made this set. I still think it's pretty good. I made some little tweaks, added some new RCs. Now I'm rereleasing it for anyone who missed it the first time!

What it is: A LOT of wall and surface frames, all repo'd. This upload doesn't have any art included, just frame recolors. I use these for sim documentation photos, so they can have pictures of themselves... but you do what you like with them.

If you have them already: chuck the old files and put these in their place. Nothing will break. OR, you could leave them and just add the new RCs: that'll work fine too.

Meshes : simsfileshare

Frame RCs : simsfileshare

What changed (meshes) : I tweaked the catalog text strings and the file names so that they match each other better. I also removed references to my real name in favor of my internet handle, since that's less confusing and more easily searchable.

What changed (RCs): I've replaced all the textures with new versions, fixing two small errors that were bugging me. First is the fact that the edge of the matte was picking up the frame RCs (actually on the fence about if I liked the old version better, if you preferred that, let me know I might make a second version if enough people ask). Second there was a blotch on the side, you probably never noticed... but I DID. I also merged the packages for color sets and named them a bit better.

What's new: In addition to the updated aliea colors (select colors on the wall meshes) I've made two new sets: black frames with cludo mattes, and icad wood colored frames with black mattes. Those are pictures on the surface meshes (only some of the icad colors shown).

If you want to add your own art: There is a lovely tutorial here!

If you want to just download some art:

you can find some by poppet here, and here,

some by lina-cherie here.

Found another! Eulalia did a few.

Thanks to pixeldots who found vegan-kaktus recolors,

and two sets by kayliegh83 (here and here)!

If you know of any other recolors, please tell me, I'd love to add links.

I've been planning to polish/update/rerelease some of my more popular downloads from back in the day. Despite current hacking drama, sims file share seems the way to go.... but you need an invite code? Could someone help a simmer out?

[threadandsandpaper]

A Job Center I built and a random unrelated exterior with stacked lots. Because, sometimes, uploading something is better than uploading nothing.

[threadandsandpaper]

What color actions are folks using these days? I'd like to recolor an old set of mine and re-release it, but I haven't been back in the community long enough to know what is in vogue. So, what's your favorite set of colors?

HomeCrafter Help

I can't seem to get home crafter to run. Anybody else have issues with it crashing on load? It LOOKS like it installs properly and when it tries to run it creates a groups.cache so it's doing SOMETHING. I've tried installing it in different places, and deleting the cache files. Not sure what else to try and the internet isn't providing me with helpful search results.

[threadandsandpaper]

Alrighty. Simple build, its a gym. I'm still remembering how to do all the stuff... some comes back easy other stuff not so much. DEFINATELY don't recall the ins and outs of tumblr (if I ever knew). Building feels good, though. As always I NEED MORE CUSTOM CONTENT.

[threadandsandpaper]

I might be back?

I'm playing the game again. I lost my old download folder and had to start from scratch though. So of course I'm in there with simspe trying to make things the way I like them. I'm considering posting some of that stuff, or reposting some of my old stuff. SO UNSURE. It feels a bit like work? But also: apparently I wanted to connect with the community enough that I am posting right now.
