[TS3] Scalp Accessory

I come bearing an accessory to hopefully combat hairs with gigantic, open patches of bald head or to use to make a shaved style more full. There are two flavors: full and sparse.

Full is right up to nearly the edge of the scalp and is more for full, lengthy hair, that just has a weird scalp thing going on - weird streaks of skin everywhere that one always finds obnoxious. I was working on one that would extend just slightly past this line to meet scalp makeup that’s floating around CCLand better, but I kind of gave up on it (not sorry).

Sparse is more for hairstyles that have an okay style, but it may look a little funny when you get deeper past the hairline: too little hair where there probably should be at least some. It can also be used to augment styles where a shaved head is a thing, but you may feel there should be a bit more thickness.

Compatible for males and females, teen through elder.

You might be able to combine both the full and sparse accessories together if you’re desperate for even more coverage, but I didn’t test this possibility out so much and it probably wouldn’t give you the result you think you’d get.

How to keep Sims from moving around when you’re photo-shooting, without resorting to poses (yes, it IS possible!)

Because I’m trying to shoot pics for a large wedding party, I figured I’d eventually run into the bane of every Simmer who attempts to put a lot of Sims into one location:

They won’t bloody well stay where you want them to!

Want them all sitting down? Soon enough, one or more of them will get out of their chairs, even if you have Sim Autonomy OFF.

I found something that fixes that, and it’s something so simple: the Movie Maker cheats.

Apparently, you need Generations for this (or you did when it was released; I’m not sure if a subsequent patch enabled it for everyone) but give it a try, regardless of whether you have Generations or not.

To access it, open up the cheat console (CTRL + SHIFT + C) and type:

TestingCheatsEnabled True

And then type:

MovieMakerCheatsEnabled True

Now, when you Shift-left-click on a Sim, you’ll get the following menu:

How To Keep Sims From Moving Around When You’re Photo-shooting, Without Resorting To Poses (yes, It

Disable Autonomy will make ALL the Sims on the lot do nothing, except what you tell them to do. Sit them all down, and they’ll stay put. THIS is the cheat you need to keep all those little wandering buggers in place!

Turn off Look Ats will stop their heads from moving (you probably want to keep this enabled for most things, as it looks more natural)

Animation lets you play almost any animation on any Sim, from the idles to the conversations, the solo dances (sadly no animations that require two people, so your Sims can’t slow-dance this way unless you switch on some music and tell them to slow dance). You can play them once or play them in a loop.

Remember to shift-left-click the mailbox and set all needs to static if you’re doing a day of shooting, or else you’ll have some Sims starving to death in puddles of pee ;)

granthes' OMSP & Buckley's Resizers Updated

The Changes:

Edited the mesh; it's now slightly smaller with new UVMap. Somewhat a cosmetic change.

Edited the script; 2m up & down is replaced with 5cm up & down. STBL's are also edited to accommodate the said change.

Edited the preset to use the solid colour in miscellaneous patterns to reduce the wait time. And MOST IMPORTANTLY added a second INVISIBLE preset. I personally think this was much needed, since these OSMPs are notorious for not staying invisible.

Now, the important things you need to know before using this:

These will replace granthes' and @buckleysims' files. You need to remove those and install mine instead. Also you CAN NOT mix & match those with mine. You need my edit of OMSP with my edit of Resizers. After installation all you need to do is go to your lots with OMSPs and use the design tool to get the invisible preset.

I added my creator name to files for convenience so you guys will know where you get these or at least that they are altered. Although, I realise that my tumblr name and creator name doesn't match so that's a fallacy on my part. Anyway, I didn't remove Buckley's original credits in the STBLs so there is that.

I tested these in a relatively clean The Sims 3 folder and save that I use for testing stuff, so everything should be okay. If not, do tell.

- Credits -

granthes for the OSMP and the script

Buhudain and @buckleysims for the resizers

AAVE in Kpop Fandoms

(sorry for grammar mistakes/typos im just not feeling it right now lol)

I just feel that this is something that needs to be talked about, not everyone would agree but for those that do, please read and feel free to share your own opinions or experiences.

AAVE has taken over the kpop fandom. If you dont know aave, it is african american vernacular english or black english as referred to by some (or ghetto english as referred to by…some). If you still don’t know what it is well then google is your best friend. The use of aave is seriously the most annoying thing that I would have never expected to annoy me…ever. I know you’re probably wondering why, right? It is because I, myself, am an aave user and have been all of my life. It is my preferred way of speech, although I use “proper” english a majority of the time. So yeah although I speak the “proper” english dialect, my dialect is that of certain southern aave. So how am I annoyed by my own/similar dialects? There are many reasons that I will discuss but it is mainly because aave is utterly, unremarkably overly used all the while being misused to the point that it isnt even ridiculous anymore; its maddening. You think I’m being dramatic? I wish I were, because I am so mad right now. (lol nah just a little bit)

The amount of kpop fans misusing words [and/or phrase] like “hater” [or “hate on”] is just cringe worthy. But its not just that, there are other aave words and phrases that are misused; i’m sure that we all can think of one that gets on our nerves when used incorrectly. I simply brought up “hater” and “hate on” because its just everywhere, i cant escape it, especially on this blog in particular. (not towards the admins i love you guys!)

A lot of kpop fans (we all know those kpop fans) even have the audacity to argue using aave and cant even properly get that way of speech off of their tongues none-the-less off the tips of their fingers to type like… what makes them think…? ..Idek. Or, even worse, they try to boast their bias(es) by using aave…but they use it wrongly (lmfao) -_-. Its just… its bad. (I wish I could give proper examples but i’m sure someone can share some examples that bugs them or that they’ve seen often. However, Its no biggie really.) I guess the one thing i can think of is people telling others to “stop hating on (bias’ name)” but its like seriously your bias, is (probably) freaking amazing, no one is hating on them simply because we are criticizing something (bias) has done. Everyone should be accountable for their mistakes and/or actions; simply calling them out is NOT “hating” in any shape or form. People act as though you cant constructively criticize anymore; foreal though how are people gonna get any better if there is not any acknowledgements, acceptance, nor accountability for their actions? That just allows them to just do what ever they please and people will still mindlessly worship the ground they walk on…that’s just not okay. I may have digressed a bit but… lol.

Anyway, the point of this submission is not to tell people to stop using aave nor to just rant (ok so yeah it is a rant but its not ONLY a rant ok lol) but I just want people to be aware of the things that they are saying. If you are going to use it, at least have some kind of foundation of the meaning(s) behind them, where it comes from, and learn how to use it properly (and actually have some respect for those that do use it in life because wow ppl talk mad shxt towards frequent aave users but majority of them try to use the same words/phrases to look “cool” or to impress others. No, stop, dunt do that.) AAVE is like speaking a new language and it has its ways that work and its ways that do not work. Believe it or not, aave has its own structure. The people that are not aware of this are just butchering it because of the lack of…exposure to actual USERS of the dialect(s). (Because foreal foreal, how many non-black (or non-african american) kpop fans have besties from the hood. Not saying that all aave is spoken from people inside those areas but a lot of it does come from there, just an example.)

One more thing that I have noticed about the use of aave in relation to kpop blogs: The blogs that are obviously black (or african american) and use frequent and proper aave (yes proper because lets admit that even some blacks cannot use aave properly lol they arent expected to ofc im js) are blogs that tend to not be as popular. They have all the components of a quality blog and are amazing people but just…not popular or even known; especially not as popular as the obviously non-black kpop blogs that stan kpop-hiphop and have the frequent misuses of aave (and often culture appropriation, which the misuse(s) of aave can been seen as such also). However, that’s just my observation but, I think that says a lot about the kpop fandom…

Well, that is it! I hope you guys had a good read or something!

what i haven't seen the sims community here talk about yet is the current state of ea. it's not good, to put it plainly. ea's biggest cash cow ea sports has severely underperformed. veilguard was a critical failure. ea's stock is iirc at a 5 year low, and it fell overnight after their latest report. the value of ea plunged something like 6 billion dollars. it's insane. as we're speaking we're getting news from studios like bioware being gutted with huge layoffs (trick weekes has been laid off btw).

i do think it's important to consider the yet to be confirmed ts1 and ts2 re-release in this context. i think it's ea's hail mary that they can put out with relatively little effort because well, the games are already made. i don't think ea will meaningfully improve compatibility with newer systems and that it will probably be on par with what you get with osab's installers (which for ts2 easily installs the whole collection for you, together with graphics rules maker which you need to get more resolutions, recognize your graphics card, etc., and lazyduchess' launcher which has many small improvements of its own, including 4gb ram patch).

i'm not going to try to tell you that playing these old games is an easy plug and play solution. it isn't. no old game is as the march of time and technological progress often times leaves old games unplayable without community effort. the ts2 community has been wonderful at keeping the game alive. the current biggest hurdles to accessibility such as pink flashing may not be fixed in this re-release. i just hope that people consider that this is a desperate cash grab of a company that will probably soon be going down the path of ubisoft.

Religion for Sims (v.1.0)

This is a collection of script and object mods that creates religions for Sims through the use of custom skills. There are two religions that Sims can practice: Peteran and Omiscan. Sims can pray/worship, make offerings, attend religious services and teach other Sims of their religion. The two religions are different and have different practices that you have to learn and can share. Peteran Sims can become priests which is a rabbithole career with active interactions where they can give live sermons, convert other Sims, ask for church donations and absolve Sims of their "sins".

This mod requires Battery's Script Utility, NRaaS Career (for the custom career), and CCLoader and the University EP for the custom herb to work.

Please read through all the documentation, there's a lot of information about the features and gameplay.

Download:

Necessary: olomaya_religion_Peteran.package, olomaya_religion_Omiscan.package, olomaya_banisteria_herb.package

Optional (but def recommended to get all the mod features): olomaya_PeteranReligion_Career.package, olomaya_PeteranBook.package, ATS3_object_sims4to3_jungle_amazoniteskull_Omiscan.package, ATS3_object_sims4to3_jungle_ancienttalkingstatue_Omiscan.package, Mspoodle_TSM_PeteranPrayerWood_Peteran.package, Mspoodle_TSM_PeteranPulpit_Peteran.package

The objects are courtesy of the very talented @mspoodle1 and ATS Sandy. You can basically just copy and paste the script into whatever objects you want to customize the aesthetics of the religions to your liking.

Thanks to: @misspats3 for all her testing, her work in putting together the extremely thorough documentation, and for pushing me to finally release this. I think this mod has been done for a year but I'm lazy. @zoeoe-sims for all her help with getting the custom skill to work with a custom career. SonjaA, @omedapixel, Alunn and others (again, this was so long ago I'm sure there's people I'm forgetting. forgive me!) for their testing and feedback. MsPoodle and Sandy for their generosity in letting me share new/alternate scripted versions of their work and for making cool stuff that makes me go "ooh, what if that were functional?"

Custom moodlets made with FlatIcons and GIMP and loaded using Battery's Script Template.

The mod has been tested with several players and I played with it for months but I'm sure me just saying that will produce a bug I've never come across so let me know if you find it!

Enjoy!

The Imperial Palace (Download)

Early follower’s gift to celebrate my first anniversary on tumblr…

Have you ever dreamed of being not just an ordinary monarch but an emperor? Well, during Middle Ages that title mostly went to a German. But this comfortable residence allows you to catch the feeling of imperial power:

Imperial Palace

It’s no castle because medieval Emperors did not settle at a permanent residence. Instead, they travelled across their gigantic realm and used so called palatia (sg. Palatium or Pfalz in German). This lot is modelled after these great residences (especially from the 10th century). I tried to stay faithful to Romanesque architecture (excuse the Gothic windows) and because this is set in an early period you won’t find too much lavish decoration.
