That's been a whole minute, hasn't it?
I'll save the State of the Hat for behind a cut at the end, people are allowed to not-care about me personally, but, y'know. I'm not dead! I logged into Mediafire! How about that horse! Apparently there are people out there trying to use Mediafire without Firefox (and thus, uBlock Origin, Noscript, and a Photobucket embed fix) because I hear people can't see my images!
I got an imgur account and a Sims File Share account. Replacing old images and adding mirror links is gonna be an ongoing project.
But you should be able to see all these!

This may leave you with the confusing question, "What is Buy Mode Blitz?"
Buy Mode Blitz is a project I've been working on since... 2015? Though I was mostly organizing it then. Anyway. I don't know about you, but my game is full of great meshes that:
a) I use all the time, regardless of how many recolor options there are
b) I love but never use because they lack recolor options
c) I want to like the mesh but all the recolor options are, in some way, not to my taste
and/or
d) I love but never use because their only recolor options are boring or out-of-period
Buy Mode Blitz is me rolling up my sleeves and going "Well then let's fucking fix that."
Maybe I only intend to give a thing one recolor, maybe only three, maybe twenty, 32, 40, 60, 82, 174, the number varies wildly depending on what, exactly, the thing that needs recoloring is. The only thing required for an object or set to get chucked in Buy Mode Blitz is that I am Not Satisfied with the state of its recolors.
And I have such a backlog.
What am I going to do with such a backlog? Follow me, we're entering the realm of cut texts now.
What I'm planning to do is, I want to not go on hiatus. I want to release something every month at least, maybe every other week, I want that backlog there so that even if I don't want to make anything or interact with anyone, there's still content from me. Sure, the real driving force behind Buy Mode Blitz is to Have Stuff, but I also want to share stuff. Fingers crossed. If I don't reply to anything other than "Hat, that's the wrong link!" I'll still try to have another post at the end of the month. And another at the end of next month. And one at the end of the month after that.
What am I going to do about comments? I dunno. Right noweverything anonymous commenting (forgot my settings for a minute there) is still screened. Going through and checking the 85 comments in my inbox is... well, I'll see what I have the spoons for, going forward. You'll get to find out with me! It'll be an adventure. Ideally I want to go back to 'everybody can just comment,' but hey! I'm about to post a ton of stuff! We'll see how that goes!
(Also, although comments make me happy? They don't motivate me the way they do some creators. I'm just gonna make stuff cos I want the stuff, and I'm more likely to have the spoons to share when I don't feel overwhelmed. I will not be responding to every comment basically ever again, and if you feel like you ordinarily have some obligation to leave a comment? Know that I watch the downloads numbers go up and that makes me happy too. This is a no-pressure-to-interact zone, because I may contain multitudes but I am not that big a hypocrite.)
For those of you interested, State of the Hat!
... uh yeah so it's basically 'internal screaming,' sorry.
Horse in the hospital! Pandemic! My sister and her family are still living with us! I don't know why because her husband doesn't like me OR mom! My nephew was very excited to start school but is STILL angry he doesn't get to GO to school like they do on TV! My niece is a darling girl who does not understand "You're scaring the cats, sweetie, get out of their space" !
It is very everything all the time, and I'm tired and I need new glasses and a trip to the dentist, but even if my wallet said 'okay,' covid says 'that's cute.'
On the other hand, my general lifestyle before the plague was 'work from home, leave the house once a week for errands,' so the biggest change for me on that front was 'draft a mask pattern that allows for nose, chin, and glasses to exist in harmony.'
Do I still want donations and tips?
You bet your sweet bippy I do.
I'm trying to think of something I can do for donors? EDIT: I'm trying to think of something I can do for donors specifically because I acknowledge that I am not always capable of getting requests and commissions done in a timely fashion, so I'm not taking them anymore. So I'm looking for useful feedback there. I keep thinking things like... specific dollar amount and you can see my to-do list, or vote on the next post from a list of options, or bribe me to get the thing you know I've got done posted...
I dunno. Not commissions and not pay content, but I am open to a bribe.

Chemistry mod testing
Date: 2021-01-10 04:39 am (UTC)Re: Chemistry mod testing
Date: 2021-01-10 08:35 am (UTC)My chemistry mod is, more properly speaking, a turn-on/turn-off mod. Simler90's variations made me want one of my own (cos none of theirs fit my playstyle as well as I wanted), and, uh, a lot of the turn-ons are pretty frickin' broken as shipped. Even the old Tunaisafish version I was using because it allowed for alien chemistry? Only allowed for alien chemistry using maxis or default-replacement genetics (which is no good with, for instance, a multi-PT mod that uses custom genetics).
My goal, at first, was to replace the inherently broken stuff, and then change the Vacation Local turn-ons (which are Stink, Fit, and Makeup), then eliminate the really fleeting turn-ons like perfume and clothing state, and make it so the Alien trait also checked for Midgethetree's Reproductive Capabilities Controller and Sophie-David's Mirror of Discernment alien tokens. Then it was to upgrade the aesthetics a bit, then I thought 'well what if I grouped the similar supernaturals together so I can also do checks for some of the new trait-based lifestates?'
... And then I accidentally ended up with twelve different combinations. (Not all of them are functional variations, most of them are just contemporary versus period icons.)
And while I have done some testing, it's arguably been pretty basic testing, and I would certainly appreciate someone who understands BHAVs better than 'well, it's not causing jump bugs' to look things over.
If you're still interested in taking a look, drop me a PM?
