I am not actually back yet.

hat_plays_simsOkay, so it's December and I thought I'd be back by September.
That didn't happen, because life went like this:
House full of new windows
Brother moved back in (then left to work RenFaire)
Miniature show
Cat got sick (to the tune of $700 in tests and antibiotics)
Surprise doll show (I got a table at the last possible moment)
Bathroom remodel (Yeah I had no idea when that was happening)
Disneyland trip
Brother returned from RenFaire
Doll show (this one, planned)
News of an old family friend's death
Discovering my doll maker has vanished and I have to buy a kiln/learn to make my own porcelain dolls
Surprise house painting
Surprise Brother's Girlfriend in my home office for a weekend (and the next two weekends)
Thanksgiving
Uncle (on Mom's side) died on anniversary of Dad's death
Put up Christmas Tree
Mom gets shoulder replacement surgery, three or four months of disability
Which brings us up to now.
And now is a time when I have seriously not had a week without rushing to get ready for something, strange men in, on, or around my house banging on things, or some sort of horrifying surprise. Let me tell you it is not easy on my brain chemistry. I'm trying to get back in the swing of Simming, but I'm not caught up with everywhere yet.
Expect another content dump in January at the earliest.
In fact, I'm working on something shiny right now as we speak-- a front-laced gown for TF through EF Maxis, Androgyny, and Athletic Girl shapes... plus my first foray into the repository method. Why didn't anyone tell me it was this easy? If anyone has or knows where to find RenGal or CF conversions of Iamliz13's Alpha Dress, or is interested in MAKING those conversions, please please please let me know and you'll be my hero forever and ever. I NEED THEM. (I have a second Big Clothing Project planned that will include outerwear that coordinates with casual clothes, so really the more shapes I can get this done for, the happier a Hat I become.)
Plans continue apace. I just got caught up with DW comments, and the wishlist has been updated with as many links as I can find at this late date. Please give me a heads-up if you find anything on the list I've missed!
Upcoming posts (not before January, but sometime Soon):
1. 43 (or more) mostly-Maxis recolors of Buggybooz's Nooks and Niches (including Paigeturner's Complete Castle Wall set)
2. 86 very simple toddler kirtles (mostly-Aligeth textures on a Cynnix mesh)
3. 16 toddler diapers in various shades of rag
4. A very small hair dump
5. Hopefully, beards
6. Simple Front-Laced Kirtles on eight Iamliz13 Alpha Dress conversions (more if wishes are fulfilled)
7. Front-Laced Kirtles with Plackets on those same meshes
8. Overdresses with Rucked Skirts on Aligeth again
9. Bonne Nuit shifts for Maxis TF and Athletic Girl AF and TF
10. Du Lac Cotehardies for CU
Things I need to re-upload (posted cos I'm not on my desktop right now, let me know if you spot any other broken links):
1. Tidy Creature
2. Accidentally On Purpose (with new file name because NBC thinks I'm file-sharing something they own, wtf)
Current deep desires for those who want to barter stuffs I'm desperate for for... I don't know, hairs or something I can do (which you will get before I do content dumps):
1. Child conversion of Iamliz13's alpha dress (Cynnix's Androgyny conversions may be of some help) to fit Cynnix's Rengal V2
3. Child conversion of Aligeth's Robin Hood mesh
4. Guys I need some gloves. I know Bloom made a useful mesh for TF and AF, but I want them for child through elder, both sexes, and hopefully with a bigger alpha cuff so I can do things like this and this. I would also cheerfully take a mitten mesh, especially for toddlers; mittens seem more affordable and thus great for toddlers, children, and peasants. Did you know Vikings wore a lot of three-fingered gloves in the long Norse winters? NINJA TURTLE VIKING HANDS.
5. Bone assignments for any of these cloaks. I'm not asking for clipping to be fixed, I know that's impossible, but just something so the cloak bends with the body, and doesn't swing like a bell when a Sim does the smustle or the slap-dance.
If you mesh it, I will recolor it. I'm all in the mood to make wintry things.

I'm just glad to hear from you again! Take what time you need getting back in the swing of things. Though I am very excited for the upcoming stuffeth! :bunny dance: And yay for anticipation!
Wish I could help with your wishlist... but I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Surely someone will want at least some of that stuff and have the know-how to make it!
Hope you have a restful christmas season from now on!

Date: 2012-12-17 02:41 pm (UTC)I have Iamliz13's alpha dress done for RenGal V2 af and tf and I'm fixing the elder version. I have the maxis child size done without the morphs, when it's finished I'll convert it to RenGal V2 child size. Should be ready by the end of the week.
I have some all ages glove accessories done but they need some work still.

Date: 2012-12-17 03:49 pm (UTC)When you release those meshes, I will have 83 repository recolors for each of them.
And then? THEN I'm gonna make some LAYERED recolors. A short-sleeved kirtle with a front placket and the smock showing like you see on all the re-enactors, and then over the same skirt? A rucked-up side-laced gown. For winterwear or going to market or whatever.
And thanks to you I can do it for EVERYONE.
Cynnix, you are awesome.
