TS3 Corbin and Leila


I wasn't sure if she'd feel like Leila or not until I got him in there.

I have to say, TS3 Leila pulls off those mischievous glances pretty well! Can't you just see her counting off every single thing she's about to do to him in her head?

LH stuff: Lakeside Shopping Center (TS2)



This is a 2-story suburban shopping center/mall (on a 3x5 lot). The bottom floor is furnished except for one store. The top floor is accessible, but empty.

how to modify an aging mod, and updates on real-time pregnancies/aging...

My Mods:

I'll link to these first in case anyone wants to just swipe my mods and not bother with the tutorials. ;)

These are tested with all EPs except Supernatural. Though I imagine they'd work just fine anyway.



LH Real-time Aging Mod V.1

S: 1 SimDay = 1 year
M: 1 SimDay = 1 half-year (2 halfs/year)
N: 1 SimDay = 1 season (4 seasons/year)
L: 1 SimDay = 1 month (12 months/year)
E: 1 SimDay = 1 day (360 days/year)


LH Real-time Aging Mod V.2

S: 1 SimDay = 1 yr.
M: 1 SimDay = 1 season (4 seasons/year)
N: 1 SimDay = 1 month (12 months/year)
L: 1 SimDay = 1 fortnight (24 fortnights/year)
E: 1 SimDay = 1 week (48 weeks/year)

* aging mods are modified from a realistic aging mod by Absimilard at MATY (original - not mine).


And then you'll need preggy mods for your new timespan, so I have those here too:

LH Real-time Pregnancy Mods to match any one of those lengths above.

LH 36-day pregnancy

update, 6/26/17: sorry, I guess 4shared closed my old TS3 account. I reuploaded what I had installed in my own game, which was v.2 of my aging mod, and the 36-day pregnancy. Sorry, that's all I had saved from my TS3 stuff. But if that's not to your liking, I guess you can modify it by using the notes below. 


*** On How to Modify Aging and Preggy Mods ***


First off:


This assumes a very basic knowledge of s3pe. Like, enough to open a file and commit your changes, lol! If you worked with SimPe at all in Sims 2, you'll be good to go. If not even, this shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

With modding the aging mod, I figure it's not the modding part that's difficult, so much as which numbers to use.

On Modifying an Aging Mod:

The first thing to do in modding your own aging mod is decide the how short/long your lifespans will be in relation to each other. In the big picture. These are calculated in Sim-days.

Now get yourself a notebook and a sturdy calculator. For real, you need the calculator. I was *awesome* at advanced math in high school, and I had to force my brain around this one.

(But then, you know, it's also been a little while since high school, lol!)

postcards from Bluewater Township...


I've been doing a little bit of work with Bluewater Township lately. Many of you have probably already seen these on Twitter or Tumblr, but in case not...

interdimensional shift, a party, of sorts...



Please stay tuned while we reconfigure the universe.

This is a party we've already kind of begun here, with the TS2 to TS3 Sim conversions, and the CAW news on the LH world. Those will continue as we move along, and we'll also be having some other party games here too! :)

There are only two full updates left for TS2 (one of which is mostly shot already, and I have one more left to do), so it's almost time, people! I'm excited, lol! I'm not sure if I'm prepared for the switch-over, but I'm totally going to wing it! I have shot one future update in TS3 already, and while it was tricky, and I know I have a lot of things to learn and get used to, I had a lot of fun doing it!

I'm doing a couple of finishing fixes to my LH-test terrain, and then I'm going to start moving some real families in! It's not "finished", and likely won't be really finished for many more months, but I am ready to play it and build on it for real. I'm sure I won't really know what I want from it for sure until I've played on it anyway, which is sort of backwards, but I've always been a build-as-you-go kind of girl! ;)

So let's celebrate, shall we?!? :D

Planned events:
- guess the kids grown up game
- more TS2 to TS3 Sim conversions
- going out of business sale: TS2 downloads!!! Everything sold as-is! ;)
- new TS3 Samantha Bradshaw and Anjali Shaw for download!
- more TS3 gameplay notes
- download of the LH terrain... when it's finished ;)

Also note, it's going to take me many months to complete all of this stuff! But I just wanted you all to know what I had in store. The shenanigans will all take place here on the babble blog.

So there are two more TS2 stories ("on the safe side, part 3 and 4" and then part 5 will be TS2 and TS3 mixed. And from there, it'll all be TS3!

And also note, as soon as I get these last couple TS2 stories finished, the story itself should begin to move a bit faster again. Right now, even though I do have very little Simming time, I'm also having to split that time between getting story pics in TS2 and doing my conversion work in TS3. So once I'm done with TS2 story pics, it'll be a lot easier for me to get my TS3 story pics while I'm already in the game ;)

So, we shall carry on!



"Welcome," Dakota says. "We've been waiting for you."

soundtrack: "Apocalypse Please" by Muse

quote:
"Declare this an emergency
come on and spread a sense of urgency,
and pull us through.
And pull us through.
And this is the end,
this is the end of the world."

(Okay, so I'm being a little dramatic too, lol! But you know, it's fun!)

pajama party...

Please don't mind me, because I'm not sure if this is a worthy post, or just a chance to see Dallas and Lucy in their skivvies, lol! TS3 does them well!

Oh, but wait, what I wanted to talk about was SKINS! Yes, that's what it was. Skins. I found a new set of skin-shade sliders for my lovely alien family! So I thought I'd use Dallas to test them out. Of course, for comparing them to a normal human skin, we'll need Lucy to demonstrate the difference. That's what this is really about. Yes, that's right!... ;)
