hat_plays_simsSo!
My Photobucket account is paid up (in a grandfathered-in plan before they went insane and started asking hundreds of dollars for plans) until June 15th. I will be canceling before then. So, I think I've got everything (on this blog. I do not have anything fixed on Garden of Shadows, because I think I need to bug a mod about my password, and the stars are not yet in alignment for that), but I'm only human and could've missed stuff.
So! Scavenger hunt time!
If you can find, on this blog, any of the following:
A. A photobucket image link for something that should be fairly permanent (IE, something someone might want to really refer to in future)
B. A broken or missing Sims File Share link (I cannot fix Mediafire links at the moment, I know there are some mangled ones)
or
C. A coding error (turnaround image link goes to the swatch or a detail view, I pasted the link in the wrong part of the template, that sort of thing)
OR
If you can find, on my doll blog, any Photobucket image link...
Report back to this post's comment section:
i. With a link to and description of the issue
ii. Before anyone else links to the same issue
iii. Before 5pm Pacific Time on June 10, 2022
iv. With a way to contact you privately (conditions apply)
And you win a prize!
Conditions first, though:
If you see a turnaround in place of a proper swatch in a hair dump, that's probably because imgur still thinks those swatches are delicious food for it to eat. I will fix those when imgur is willing to keep them online for more than two minutes. It is very annoying and those do not count, because I am well aware of them. EDIT: Ff you see a 'this image does not exist on imgur' message instead of a swatch, imgur ate an image I did not know it ate, and I would like to be notified of that so I can put it on my list of things to re-upload later.
I'm not fussed about losing pics of things that aren't particularly important for anyone to refer back to-- my own picspam and silly/pretty shots of my game, sure, but not things like 'so I forgot the [single tiny detail] from [massive set of defaults], the main file has been updated but if you downloaded before [date] get the thingy,' or 'this mesh is super broken, who can fix it-- YOU can fix it thank you so much for fixing it!' First person to spot them can still pick a prize, but I'm not likely to update the pics, you know? Fix has been made, post can fade into obscurity.
I have to be able to contact you privately for prize delivery, but I don't want to have to sign up for anything. So, email, Dreamwidth PM, Mod The Sims PM, a tumblr ask or submit box that allows anons, something like that. I can reach you at Plumb Bob Keep but not Garden of Shadows.
PRIZES!
All prizes are content that is done but not quite ready to release. (This is why you need a way for me to contact you privately. I don't have any swatches or anything, these are useable but not ready for public release.) You may choose ONE of the following:
1. BOTTOM-ONLY CHAUSSES, CF-EF
Already texture-referenced across ages, my usual spread of 82 dyed colors and 8 ages of linen.
2. BOTTOM-ONLY DRAGON AGE BOOTS, CM-YAEM
Texture-referenced, 82 wools, 13 leathers, 8 linen braises.(I am also willing to share this with anybody who's willing to make the boots fit a little closer to the leg.) Simborg snugged them up!
3. SILK BLIAUTS, TF-YAEF
Finally got something done on GLB's Epic Sleeves Gown and Gwenke's teen conversion of the same! 82 silk colors, texture-referenced, not fully tested in game (if you choose these, please tell me if you get flashes of the white undersleeves, I can fix that by making them match the oversleeve).
4. TOP-ONLY RUCKED KIRTLES, CF-YAEF
82 colors, one set with chausses and one set without. Fits specifically over the skirt from these two posts, anything else (including pantsless bottoms) pokes through on the butt when fatmorphed.... I will also share these with anyone willing to fix the butt on the fat morphs. Simborg put some junk in the trunk and now plump ladies can stomp grapes with their skirts hiked up too!
5. WAY TOO MANY ALTAIR HOODS, CU-EU
I redid the textures of Ja's "Hattie" accessory and then made 82 solid hoods, 82 lined hoods, 82 particolored hoods, 8 red-lined blue hoods, and 8 heraldic-combo particolored hoods.
6. FAKE LIRIPIPES, TM-EM
Skell's Boho Poncho accessory in 82 wools, because it looks... enough like a dramatically-cowled hood-and-liripipe.
7. BOTTOM-ONLY SOLED HOSEN, CM-YAEM
82 particolored hose on Cynnix's meshes, neatly texture-referenced.
8. TOP-ONLY TUTTENSACKS, TF-EF
8 linen colors each, if you really really want this I will also probably let you pick something else, too.
9. TOP-ONLY BUTTONED TUNICS, CM-YAEM
Silvain Shadows' top-only tig tunics with textures from Sherahbim's Faraday gown, an Iamliz13 belt, and pouches and buttons of my own devising. (Metal buttons from... danegeld, I think?) Texture-referenced.TM and CM fat morphs have Issues, so if you're willing to fix those, I am willing to trade you my 82 recolors. Simborg got that one done, thanks Simborg!
10. BOOBTASTIC TOP-ONLY MERMAID SCALES, YAEU-EU
32 scaled mermaid tops just like the 32 I already made for Androgyny and Maxis, but on Rudhira's top-only edit of Bloom's Push-Up Bra.
11. CURLY HAIR GRAB BAG
Binned but not yet named, you get a whole bunch of my favorite curly meshes with not just Nouk's Waves but Simpliacity Skai and Willow textures. This will be a Dump someday, but names are hard and I can't make swatches until I have names.
12. BOTTOM-ONLY STRAIGHTENED MERFOLK FINS, CU-EU
Magical Girl Sandbox took Meduza's bottom-only fins and made them curve less, which... yes good, better for actual swimming (the curved tails are great for walking, but for the mermaid mod they always seem scrunched). Not yet texture-referenced.
13. TODDLER TIME
Cynnix's lowboot toddler gown and tunic in 82 wool colors.
14. MAGE COLLEGE
I got-- I got a mess of stuff, I got Skell stuff and Ghanima stuff and Bonehilda, I got spectral assistants I got hats and hairs and yes, I also have the Maxis alignments and not just Red Mages, all texture-referenced (where possible, sorry toddlers) and pinned to Apartment Life and (except for hairs/hats) with BINX numbers sorted so they go in a nice consistent order. ... I would also hand this one out to anybody who can MTF or child-and-toddler convert Skell's Celtic gown edit (the one on AF with the dark red underdress), or stick the malebodywitch coat on Bonehilda. Or stick a long skirt under the malebodywitch coat for a proper layered robe.
Do my in-depth proofreading for me and I shall reward you!

Date: 2022-06-02 05:25 pm (UTC)I have edited the Dragon Age shoes, and hopefully fixed the fat morphs on Rucked Kirtles and Tig Tunics.

Do tell me if you're not happy with them and I'll try to edit them more.

Date: 2022-06-03 12:37 am (UTC)The rucked kirtles are pefect, they just made me realize a) my true-nude defaults have bigger thighs/butts than the pantsless barefoot bottoms I've got, which confused me for a hot second and b) I could not use Body Shop to see how my top-only kirtles combined with my pantsless barefoot bottoms if all my barefoot bottoms separates are flagged for Undies-Sleep-Swim only. (I wanted to townie-enable them, but I didn't want them popping up as casual wear. It seemed like such a clever thing to do! And then I couldn't find my underwear. Clearly it is clever in my gameplay folder, not my 'make things in Body Shop' folder, lesson learned.)
Anyway the adjustments fit great over pantsless-Maxis if not quite over Warlokk and Bloom curvy ladies (AF and TF, if you're curious), I just felt I needed to share my brainfart. ... Maybe I should make some dirty-feet barefoot pantsless braises anyway. Mud-spattered, grape-juice stained. Hm...
Lemme edit the post and get the meshes replaced in my ready-but-for-swatches folders and I will zip those three things up and send them to you! Thank you so much!
EDIT: You should have an ask with three strings to paste in after a "https://simfileshare.net/download" and a thank-you, and that's about all a tumblr ask has space for.

Date: 2022-06-03 08:26 am (UTC)GWBWPQ: ... Well. At least both links were present? Fixed!
Hair Dump VI: Imgur appears to be eating my swatches again, and I did not catch this one. Re-uploaded, may or may not last. (If it does last, it's because I've dumped my browser history from May, and that's valuable information.)
Hair Dump VII: ... Ditto, ditto, and ditto.
Hair Dump IX: I'm legit impressed there was only one bad copypasta SFS link in nine hair dumps so far. Well done me. Fixed!
How do you feel about one prize per find until you hit everything?
EDIT: Imgur is eating my swatches (if they go, they go within like two minutes). Gonna add some notes there, but at least they're packed in the downloads.

Date: 2022-06-03 08:29 am (UTC)Do you have a list of the incorrect MF links? I've been writing them down as I find them, so if you do want a list, I'm happy to provide!
no subject
Date: 2022-06-03 08:42 am (UTC)I noted anything anyone complained about in the relevant 'I have fixed all of these' posts, so I know what to look for, I just... Mediafire does not like my very old browser on my very old computer's very old OS, and slowed everything to uselessness. I can't even try in a non-Firefox browser, because why would I Microsoft and Chrome won't even download onto a Vista machine in this day and age. Which puts imgur eating some of my danged swatches into perspective, I tell you what. I gotta have the spoons to get the laptop set up before I can fix those.
... on the other hand, if there are MORE incorrect mediafire links that I do not know about... yes please I want to know about those for when I do go about unfuckening them.
no subject
Date: 2022-06-03 08:49 am (UTC)I will continue to make a list of the incorrect MF links... unfortunately they are more numerous than incorrect SFS links or images. I'll post a link once I've managed to comb the blog!

Date: 2022-06-06 12:57 pm (UTC)Dastardly: Fixed! I know what happened there, I decided to link in order of least-refined to most-refined (unbinned, binned, binned-and-townie) but they're sorted alphabetically on SFS (binned, townie, unbinned). Thought I'd been real careful.
Loose Shift with Brown Socks: Fixed! The hard part was finding where I'd stuck it.
Promises Kept: ARGLEBARGLE okay. Imgur is eating things again. DId not know those were down, and somehow the album for Promises Kept is gone? ??? ANYway.
Luck Dragon: Image fixed, we'll see if that lasts, and I forgot to paste the SFS link inbetween the quotation marks entirely.
Treasures, Enamel, Gold, Jade: fixed, and again, we'll see if that sticks. Pics that got eaten when I uploaded them a week ago still get eaten; pics that got eaten a year ago seem to upload again okay.
I will PM you in just a minute!
