Preview Pics are the hard part.
Jul. 23rd, 2010 06:38 amThe trouble (she said) with having a fairly specific idea of how you want to present something is that you then actually have to put forth that presentation.
Bleh.
Hair dump coming... Oh, I hope before too long-- I need to name a bunch of hairs and, hey, take a bunch of previews. Some of the upcoming goodies are particularly Medieval, too, so that's fun. That's what I have presentation ideas for, but fun presentation requires me to throw some more Sims into the testerhood.
Probably coming sooner is Part Eleven in the Default Replace Everything project-- hobbies! No magazines, there's a ton of them, so they're getting their own post later. I'm also almost done with Party and Games-- got one thing left to go, except that one thing is the deck of cards for the poker table. That's right, even the playing cards are too modern for me; I've got to go and swap 'em out with some accurate (and lovely!) fifteenth century hunting-themed cards. So my 'one thing left' is actually 'fifty-three things left.' Brilliance! *facepalm* (If I were reasonable, I'd just separate the poker chips (coins!) and cards into their own post, like the magazines are getting their own post, but when did I ever say I was reasonable?)
Oh hey, did I point this out yet? Ja took Daislia's Altair hood and turned it from a teen-through-elder hair into an all-ages accessory! Very exciting. I shall be recoloring those a lot! (Technically it breaks Daislia's policy, but I had permission to ask for it to be converted into an all-ages mesh, fixing the too-tall teen age included. That it's an accessory instead of a hair... I dunno, but it IS a spiffy way to have your hats.)
Oh oh oh, and something that truly thrills me-- I fixed the damned newspaper! I finally figured out what was throwing me. The newspaper, for those who don't know, is the first thing I tried to default-replace myself. I was using the Fairy Sims one, but it wasn't a simple texture replacement, and it broke a lot of stuff if used in later expansions. I managed to denude it, but the second inside pages always turned from foolscap to newsprint, making me a sad Hat. Well, I found the Inside 2 textures! I tested it (by making a solid blue newspaper) and it works and now I can make proper Medieval newspapers! That'll be in the Miscellany Defaults, with the bills.
(At some point pretty quick here, I have to take a break from Sims Crap and storm up some new inventory for the show season. My brain loves to make stuff, but it doesn't always stop to think if it's stuff I can sell before going 'ooh ooh you could do this!')
Bleh.
