UL CLOTHING FIXES

I hate school spirit, and now your Sims can too! I removed most of the stencils from the UL clothing - not all. Because hey, maybe you want a LITTLE spirit. A few pieces of clothing are not pictured, but you get the idea. I removed the gnome logos mainly - but some have all the logos removed! YOU NEED UL FOR THESE TO WORK.

I suspect that deleting the CASThumbnails file will refresh the images in CAS!

ALSO, I fixed the shine on all clothing - some were just terrible. You may have both fixes.

DOWNLOAD - NO MORE MALE STENCILS

DOWNLOAD - NO MORE FEMALE STENCILS

DOWNLOAD - NO MORE SHINE

ROCK FESTIVAL STAGE (MINIMAL CC)

It’s almost time for Simstock again! Horrendously-pricey tickets have been purchased, wellies have been packed, phones charged, and anxious parents’ questions eyerolled at. It’s time to rock out! \m/

This is a 64x64 lot with minimal CC. EA content may come from any EP or SP (I honestly didn’t note everything down, but there’s a lot of stuff from Showtime, Ambitions, Late Night, etc).

REQUIRED CC - This CC is NOT included with the build. You MUST download and install it prior to installing this lot.

Around The Sims - Stuff for Summer Festivals

Around The Sims - Guitar Player’s Den

HA2D - Microphone Set

CycloneSue - Flat Cement Roof Trim

CycloneSue - Barbed & Chickenwire Fences

There is one other item (a column by LunaSims) which I have included in the .zip file. This is mainly because Luna’s download locations move quite frequently, and I didn’t want to keep coming back to this post and updating it!

This lot has not been play-tested, as it was built primarily as a photoshoot location. Be warned: a lot of MOO was used! It should be mostly fine, though.

I’ve also included a notecard containing useful info for concert photoshoots, such as:

Where to get guitar, bass, and hand mic accessories

Suggested poses

Link to a crowd tutorial using the BuyDebug fog emitter

The lot has been optimised in CUSTARD and comes in at 3.38MB.

I decided to put together some gameplay mods and overrides I use primarily for storytelling! I recently had someone ask if I had a resources page on my blog, and while I don't (yet), I hope you and others find this cool list helpful. Full disclosure: there are several lists out there of must-have-mods, these are just ones that I use in my game that allow me to tell stories the way I'd like.

Overrides:

Food Textures - Utopia Sims (this creator stopped retexturing foods awhile ago, however all of their links are still active. I will get into actual food mods later, however I find these to be boss).

Stereo Dance Override - This overrides the basic stereo dances that come with the game. I believe there are 35 different dances (preview).

Earbuds Override - I use these which replace the one that came with the Fitness Pack.

Coffee Art (works with tea, too!) - Overrides the default black coffee or tea. Only choose one.

Kitchen Sponge - Just a cuter version of that yellow blob they use to wash dishes.

Cutting Board - Overrides the default cutting board in game, choose only one (I use version 1) its the little things, you know?

Knife Override - Same as above except just a cleaner version of the knife your sims are always flipping up in the air whilst prepping food. Again, the little things.

Billboard Overrides - Just a cool replacement for billboards that make for pretty cool pics.

Illness Blush Override - Gets rid of the spots and stripes that come with a sick sim and replaces it with a body blush. Realistic touch for storytelling when your pixels catch a cold or another nasty virus.

Dirty Plate Override - Because who leaves a clean plate behind after they eat?

Ceiling Override - Replaces the in game ceilings indoors with a variety of pretty cool swatches. Choose one but keep the folder somewhere so you can switch out when you want.

No gloves while boxing - I use this for realism. One of my OCs used boxing as a way to relieve stress. But he was a beast so, gloves? Nah.

Natural Knitting - If you're tired of the rainbow yarn, this override changes that to a neutral color.

EA Default Teeth Override - exactly what it says.

Beer instead of juice for coolers - This one I made myself lol. In my story, my OC's mom lived in a trailer park and was always outside watching TV next to a cooler. Well my OC had a drinking problem so I recolored the "juice" into a heineken. The things we do for our stories... anyway, you might get some use out of it.

Randoms:

No Bike Helmet (there are several of these, I use one by Scarlet but their website is giving me virus warnings now. Check lilmisssam and the guy I linked)

No ZZZs while sleeping

No Mosaic

No Music Notes

Toddler No Sparkle

Hide Lot Trait Head FX

I'll do a list of essential mods later!! Hope these come in clutch, friends!

update: it's not exactly a copycat situation since 1) a few articles lied about erik denslow being a ceo when he's actually just the president of the company 2) erik denslow is still alive and expected to recover soon.

thank you to the folks that brought this to my attention. also, please keep your eyes on Nathan Mahoney. i think the reason this story isn't gaining much traction is due to police not wanting a repeat of applause (or further action) over a ceos demise by us, the people. do not allow this story to get swept under the rug, share it everywhere !

New Things to Beware on the Internet

On May 3rd, Google released 8 new top-level domains (TLDs) -- these are new values like .com, .org, .biz, domain names. These new TLDs were made available for public registration via any domain registrar on May 10th.

Usually, this should be a cool info, move on with your life and largely ignore it moment.

Except a couple of these new domain names are common file type extensions: ".zip" and ".mov".

This means typing out a file name could resolve into a link that takes you to one of these new URLs, whether it's in an email, on your tumblr blog post, a tweet, or in file explorer on your desktop.

What was previously plain text could now resolve as link and go to a malicious website where people are expecting to go to a file and therefore download malware without realizing it.

Folk monitoring these new domain registrations are already seeing some clearly malicious actors registering and setting this up. Some are squatting the domain names trying to point out what a bad idea this was. Some already trying to steal your login in credentials and personal info.

This is what we're seeing only 12 days into the domains being available. Only 5 days being publicly available.

What can you do? For now, be very careful where you type in .zip or .mov, watch what website URLs you're on, don't enable automatic downloads, be very careful when visiting any site on these new domains, and do not type in file names without spaces or other interrupters.

I'm seeing security officers for companies talking about wholesale blocking .zip and .mov domains from within the company's internet, and that's probably wise.

Be cautious out there.

trying to explain to dumbass tumblr users that saying they benefit from systemic oppression on a certain axis is not the same as invalidating every struggle theyve ever had in their entire life

TF can use AF clothes neck sliders

Be warned, these sliders are NOT perfect, I have yet to find a way to do this. Using Master Controller you can enable AF clothing for TF. They have a very similar neck shape anyway (bottom pic). The remaining issue is the shading seam (which could only be fixed by making a default replacement teen head). However, I feel you can edit this out pretty easily in photoshop. The biggest issue was that the fat slider was very different (top left pic) so you got a massive gap. So I made a slider that kinda fixes this gap (top right), so for your slightly more curvy teens you can use AF clothes without a massive neck gap. Found under general head sliders.
