I’m in the mood for knit and crochet patterns, so I polished some patterns I made over the last months (it’s not as fun as making a fresh one so I tend to procrastinate on finalizing them). But I also included new ones in the pics, like the squirrel and duck patterns!

Discord is officially blocked in Russia (Sun, 13 Oct 2024)
maria-ruta: anti-DPI programs can handle Discord here’s Goodbye DPI w/ GUIhere’s ByeDPI, possibly nicest solution for Android other variants can be found here regarding VPNs - Windscribe is still the real one, w/ non-standard protocols and special “hostile network” switch, one problem though - limited traffic, so you most likely have to juggle it w/ some noname VPN apps or proxy add-ons note that it’s illegal in Russia to talk about blocks circumvention, so if you don’t live in Russia, please share this post, so your followers, who live there could see it and use it

I haven’t said this in a while but thank you so much for all your hard work. Your patterns are so beautiful and I appreciate how much effort you put into making sure they’re fully recolorable. I am in the process of weeding out the non-recolorable patterns from my game and I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything because you have my game looking beautiful all on your own. (Sat, 12 Oct 2024)
That's a compliment of the highest order for me People like you make the work extra worthwhile! Thank you for writing this message, using my CC, and being such an amazing person in general! I'm still open to suggestions for patterns too, in case you do find something you are going to miss...

simtanico: Generations Expansion Pack Default Replacement Hair Edits (for kids!) [part ½] Another part of edits of EA hairs, we again visit the Generations expansion! This isn’t all the child hairs from this pack. I’m hoping to tackle those hairs at a later time :) Thank you to @notgonnapostanythinghere for the suggestions! (I hope you like them!) Here we have child-aged future Jocasta and Simis Bachelor modelling the new hairs! Details: Default replacement for child sims. You must have the expansion pack installed for these to work as they only replace what exists in your game! Place in your overrides folder to install. :) Replaces meshes (all LODs) (I have @ifcasims’s default retextures installed and they’re neat!) Any default replacement retextures will still work. Compressorized | Custom Thumbnails  (you can customize or delete these if you’d like with s3pe ) Notes: Any default replacements or default recategorization mods will not work with these mods! Anything that edits the CASP resources, basically. Please reach out if you have any questions.

smubuh: ♡MAKING CC IN PHOTOSHOP♡ I finally decided to make a CC tutorial. However, after finishing the screenshots I realized why I have been avoiding this. It’s a VERY LONG tutorial and it’s definitely not the easiest! If you are trying to make CC, please do not get discouraged. Keep trying and practicing, none of my cc works out the first or even fifth time!  (This tutorial does not talk about meshing!)  Keep reading for the tutorial. Keep reading Reblogging because the designing part in Photoshop also works for making TS3 CC!

I made two halloween-themed patterns today. The wallpaper and the plaid. Carrie isn’t too happy with her outfit (fashion police, look away!) I was fascinated with how my starry bulky blanket looks a bit like a crumpled-up sack on that shirt, lol! It’s because it has a visual thickness due to the hanging part. I can’t decide if it was genius or just spectacularly bad to combine these two. Then I thought I could make another range of spectacularly bad decisions, so… yeah, that’s how that look came to be.

iowafashionweekbegins: hi, i just want to let everyone know, if any of you are frustrated with the state of TS4, i’ve compiled several different tutorials and made an all-in-one guide for playing TS2 on modern computers. it has all the fixes necessary to prevent crashes + pink flashing, and tips to make the game look just as nice as TS4, if not better! please let me know if this guide is useful for you, or if anything needs to be changed/added/removed. i’ve tested it myself on multiple computers, and, while it works for me, there are many possibilities for error, considering that everyone’s computer is different. thank you for reading! i hope you like it :] Evie’s TS2 Guide!! last updated: september 18, 2024

puffkins2000: Favourite Sims 3 Patterns I think I’ll do build/buy next….. maybe. Anyway–favourite patterns in Sims 3, in no particular order. @wanderingsimsfinds – I use a variety of patterns from them; love, love, LOVE. @simlicious – I also use a wide variety here, too Teekapoa’s Patterns – cute and simplistic (( in a good way! )) Seventh Destruction – One of the only places I’ve found Lolita-type patterns (( and unfortunately, they aren’t in .package form. XP )) Pleyita – cute and simplistic as well! Pooklet – unique, and I’ve always liked Pooklet’s stuff in my TS2 game–so having their stuff in my TS3 game? Yes!! @fluttereyes – a lot of great patterns here, too! @omfgingers – a lot of cute patterns here @ktarsims – I use a lot of their Halloween/spooky/goth patterns @murfeelee – Also has some really cool patterns @sims3britishcc – The name says it all, to be honest, but they reblog British patterns, and one of the (( older )) Simmers I liked patterns from was Tencentsims. @alovelikesims – Loooove the choices of patterns! Also, they reblog some patterns too CC Finds where I get other various (( older )) patterns from: | DarkCCFinds | Hello Domo Bear | Eris | Emily | And patterns that I also like, but can’t be obtained anymore (( does anyone happen to have these that can provide a working link? This is a call to anyone who might have them in their backups! )): SimminglySimple Darkii-Sims WonderlessSims (( actually, there’s a lot missing )) SimmyCrystal (( it’s extremely hard to find anything from her, even with the Wayback Machine. Also unsure if Simmycrystal-cc is also her )) Artsie-Simmer/Pepper (( only some links work, not all )) Annette’s Sims 3 (( not only the patterns, but it’s REALLY hard to find anything from them as well )) * Patterns I would like to see more of? Nordic/sweater type, lolita/kawaii, Sims 4 converted Thank you for this, honestly, patterns get so neglected in CC lists! And I’m certainly in great company! *waves hat to fellow creators and pattern enthusiasts *

I really enjoy getting inspired by your pattern suggestions! There are so many great ones. This is my take on @mzcee-89’s suggestion for “classic chic rabbits”. Peter Rabbit may not be exactly chic but definitely classic :) I paired it with a gingham background, but may also do a version with a plain fabric background. Maybe also the gingham on its own? It is always a challenge to do a watercolor effect well, but I am really satisfied with the effect of the strategy I used here. I have one dedicated channel for the lighter areas that influences the overall pattern, so increases the contrast and lightness of the gingham, and the fur and jacket of the rabbit. Its default is white which is suitable for lighter shades (as seen on the first image) and for when you want to achieve a high contrast in the pattern (second image). You can also tone it down to a grey to make darker, lower contrast looks like shown in the third image. Changing the color of that light layer also has interesting effects, as you can see in the fourth image! The outcome looks almost like EA’s HSV shift patterns which use a different technique that involves a base texture that is influenced by a mask laid on top of it. I’m still sad that there is no proper tool to make these kinds of patterns (EA’s CAP tool can kinda make them but you do not have as much control over it and we all know how broken they come so then you have to go in and fix every single one, which is so tedious). But that’s a topic for another day :)

Edit More Than One Sim in CAS at a Time Using MC (Mon, 23 Sep 2024)
simsfaq: reverieinsimlish: maggiesims: nonsimsical: msmidnightblonde: Here you go @freckled-pixels Hopefully it helps explain better than just me. lol Okay, so first go to map view. You know how to do that. ;)  Click on the green icon of your active household (although you can do this for any of the house icons that you see). Then select NRaas. Then Master Controller.  You’ll get this screen, which may look familiar. Select Sim near the bottom.  From the Sim menu you’ll click Advanced at the top (really looking familiar now, right?).  Which gets you here, and you’ll choose Edit in CAS, as you typically would.  This menu will show all the sims who live in your household. Click each one that you’d like to edit in CAS.  You’ll get that all too familiar loading screen before your first sims appears. Edit them to your heart’s content, Accept, and then that loading screen appears for a few seconds once more before it takes you to another sim you had previously selected.  That’s it! I hope I didn’t confuse you more.  This is awesome!! I can’t wait to try this out next time I’m in game! Thanks for sharing @msmidnightblonde WHATTT???? i didn’t know this was possible!! thank you so much @msmidnightblonde Additionally, if you initiate the selection from City Hall or a computer, you can edit any sim in town.  Instead of seeing the household in the menu, you’ll see a Criteria Selection screen. You can filter your choices this way, or click the X and Cancel to see the whole population. I wouldn’t do too many without saving in between though.  Reblogging again for @reverieinsimlish‘s very useful addition.

Hello! I was wondering if you can share a mini tutorial on how you are able to capture full body pics of your sims in ts3, without them looking so awkward. Thank you in advance! :) (Sat, 21 Sep 2024)
I don’t think I do anything really special enough to put into a tutorial. Mainly I just use the TAB camera and SHIFT+A or SHIFT+D keys, until everything’s sideways, screenshot at a buncha different angles, then I rotate them in Photoshop to get longer pictures, and pick the best ones. There’s a ton of keys you can use in TAB ( Movie Making Mode ) that can pan and zoom the camera. Try and mess around with them, while pulling inspiration from your favorite fashion editorials, print ads, and films even. There really isn’t a wrong or awkward way to take full body pictures imo, so don’t hesitant to experiment with the tools that’re available to you. The Sims 3/Controls

papermint-airplane: Ya’ll need to see this, my friends are so talented holy shit!!!!!!!! @judetuude made this incredible photo machinima revolving around the romance of Agnes Crumplebottom and Erik Darling from Sims 3. Everything about it is so perfect! The atmosphere, the music, the poses, the lighting!!! I can’t even deal with it. I’m so inspired right now!!!! I have so many things planned for Rogue Town and this makes me want to do even more. Sims 3 (and the Sims franchise as a whole) is such a wonderful medium for art like this. I’m so glad that we all have this creative outlet that we can share with each other. This is awesome! The simple slideshow style really puts emphasis on the expressive and well-chosen poses and makes the emotions of the characters really palpable. And the machinima even features my patterns. I’m so glad that my CC gets chosen for such wonderful projects. Knowing I enable the creativity of so many of you with my CC really means a lot to me and I feel privileged to see your wonderful projects❣️

I’ve actually been really inspired and productive thanks to your numerous suggestions. Here are some screenshots of them! I made some thick cozy fleece blankets, a crochet blanket, a quilted star blanket, a plush/fur pattern, then a few allover florals, several clothing fabrics (striped jersey, eyelet lace stripe, textured synthetic fabric, and twill), a soft cord pattern that is also great for rugs or blankets, a diamond weave wool pattern (used as wallpaper), and the colorful carpet pattern I used in the screenshot with the crochet pattern. The lace ruffle curtain fabric is older but I think I have never shown it before. Those who made suggestions, I hope some of these meet your expectations :) of course, everything can be recolored as always. This is just the stuff from the last few days, I was really super productive! I don’t know if I can keep this up but I’m happily taking the creative streak and will continue as long as it allows and I have several suggestions and ideas yet to make

*exasperated cry* (Tue, 17 Sep 2024)
maelfe: ALT ALT what the FUCK ( ) *exasperated cry* So… they are going to take the best modders from the community and turn them into their pawns to make content for them, then they will probably have them sign a waiver that they are not allowed to make free CC anymore, and expect players to pay kit prices for essentially modded content. Hooray. About the “modernization of Sims 4”… whatever they mean by that… Do they seriously think a few Quality Assurance and bug fixes will make the game playable and enjoyable? They have to change the core foundation of the game to make it actually fun! I just don’t see how that can work. If they want to save this game (which probably costs the same as making a new one), they need to get rid of the quadrillion moodlets and dialogue options and put in deep gameplay mechanics and animations with attention to detail like Sims 2 had. People have been requesting meaningful gameplay since Sims 4 launched. The Sims 4 gameplay loop is not only boring and broken but also interrupted by hundreds of meaningless distractions that are there to keep you from realizing that there is no fun gameplay loop to be found. There are only bugs and even if they fix some of them, in the fixes there are new ones And now they want to add" enhancements to The Sims 4 with discovery and search tools, creator tools". Discovery and search tools? Isn’t that what the gallery already is? Creator tools… well it’s probably not going to be a world editor… maybe a wallpaper designer?! There have been so many letdowns and even if a feature sounded decent it wasn’t fun in the game or terribly broken. Seriously, even if you expect the worst you are still going to end up disappointed. I have no hope for the future of the Sims.
