#ts2 #Cudlow Village #I'll admit #I forgot her name ^^' #I'm furnshing the buildings and adding some mods while making my game's gameplay smooths/without conflits #everything slowed down due to recent new games releases and me being quite tired and just chilling in bed with my 3ds #so it's just a little update post of what's been going on with my hood

[hazelpuff]

I just wanted to say that I'm in love (and a bit jealous haha) with your style. It's so pretty and unique! Your hoods are gorgeous and your sims even more! (may i ask you what technique do you use to make them? Pooklet's? Face templates? A lot of sliders?)

I jumped around a lot between maxis-match, semi realistic, etc. trying to find something i liked (and i still feel i didn't quite found something i like 100%) and I'm in awe of how you made something that doesn't look like ts4 nor ts2 but a so cool and pretty in between!!!

(also a disclaimer because I'm a tiny ball of anxiety: this is no shade to anyone who likes other styles, i find them pretty awesome in other people's games, they just look a bit boring on mine. The sims is about having fun and everyone deserves to play it as they like!)

Hi! Thank you for your sweet message!

(disclaimer at the beginning of the post, my keyboard is dying since half a year and i'm putting aside the moment to replace it, but after this post, I think I'm gonna make my mind soon lol. So sorry for any misspeling - you can get double nn, no n, no m, no c, double cc, no c and many other surprises - i tried to fix everything but I could miss something xd).

I've restarted my hood 5 times I think before I got it to my recent version. I'm terrified every time through most of the process, it doesn't come easily to me xD.

Also ofc, everyone can have whatever aesthetics they like - the sims is the perfect series to express that.

With my sims it really depends. I mostly make a sim that I really like and then use it as a base for other sims, but not always. Sometimes I make a sim that I think looks quite unique but it's still missing somethig when it comes to features and makeup face details. During those moments I just open up my body shop sometime later or the next day and try to tweak this sim, sometimes it's more than once. And other times I end up liking the idk 3rd attempt but i still keep going since i want to make more similair sims, and also it's tiring to start the process from the beginning every time xD.

sry for the baldness xD - i deleted the wip hair conversion files they had and now i can't never change their hairstyles lol, idk how i did it for those two last sims seriously.

As you can see, all those sims have this maxis chain necklace, which means that I started the process using the same base sim and it just evolved into many differet results lol.

Other times I'm editing some maxis face templates to make them more my style (it's really fun!)

I also made one of my sims face into face template to make the rest of the family. I didn't want their faces to be - mouth: mom; eyes: dad; nose: mom - just a mix of both and adding something extra to make them a little more unique. Kinda pookleted their faces with two face templates.

I just really like this face. It can look either goofy or good xD.

I sometimes get inspired by images of some real life ppl (models, actors). When I'm really out of ideas I'm also dowloading sims made by others and use them as a base - just tweaking their features to be my style, mostly it's about face proportions and replacing the cc they used to the one I have. There is muuuch more examples that I could give but a lot of times it's just a result of tweaking some sims a couple of times xD.

Also due to the fact that i make my sims in body shop, idk how their faces will look whit face expressions. I was always using my sims to create previews for my cc conversions so I'm also testing them that way and if something looks too off - I'm just going back to body shop to fix that.

I think I've developed my style around the clay hair conversions that I've made - I wanted the sims in my previews to go well together with clay hair. I remember that I've picked the hair first, THEN sculpted my sims faces. There just werent that many to choose from at 1st.

I don't really use face templates - I have some, but I don't use them much - i think the proportions on faces of my sims are the closest to the maxis sims 🤔. I like their sharp features so when I'm stuck with making a sim, I'm using the pooklet method with those maxis templates but only a tiiiny bit - like 10-20% and only on those parts of the faces that I want to tweak a little more. After that I'm going back to editing the face myself.

(also a lil bonus of my sim from 2017, the only older picture that i have, i found it recently by accident and i think this is the only time when it's kinda in-context to post it 🤣).

Noo, it's not a stupid question at all! I already did upload some of my sims, you can get them >HERE<. I'm not planinng rn to upload more since most of my cas cc is merged and I don't want to go some hunting for unmerged files xD. It would take me ages, I'm lazy ad forgetfull xD

[hazelpuff]

WCIF?

I came back to the lot from >this< post to incorporate it into my new hood layout, but after cleaning my cc folder I'm missing the fence that I used on this lot. It reminds me of katvip content but i'm not sure - does somebody know where I get it?

The 2nd thing is this Log rolling pit - i thiiink I once saw a version of it without those painted markings. I can't find it rn so if somebody knows a default replacement for it, I would be very grateful <3.

hello! sorry to bother you. i was wondering if you'd ever consider making more 4t2 conversions of simomo-cc's hairs?

Hi, no problem! Right now I'm not really into cc-making, I need to check out 1st what has been coverted since I last played :D.

Thank you!

Hi, I doubt if you remember all the cc you used on the darker sim in your "4t2 ‘Lavellan Braids’ hair by Nolan-Sims" post, but wcif it? She's so gorgeous, I'd love to have her in my game. I especially like her eyes, eyeshadow and skin. :)

Hi, I would be down to even uploading her with cc-included(because listing down all the cc would be the death of me, I have my makeup mostly merged so even that would that time to include single files, but I could manage 🤣) but I'm kinda taking a break from Sims 2 due to computer issues that happened suddenly. I'm not touching the game much atm. But maybe in the future, unfortunately more later than sooner 😣.

You can look up my resources page, some stuf is outdated there but the essentials - like skin and eyes - are the same just when I made that sim (skin might be serabiet or vidcunds and eyes are by vidcunds - the eyes though, are custom - I never found time to make them genetic :<).

#answered asks #I also like her a lot #even though her eyelids can get a little wonky due to custom sliders but i had a hard time fixing that ><

The Dimarcheio’s - Round 1 pt. 3

After recent events Cassidy 07 tried to be unbothered yet she failed to remain calm. She decided to start followig her whims to make herself feel at ease - new jewelry, new clothes, new phone. The next thing on her list was to go on a date. Cassidy 07 called the Matchmaker. She didn't hesitate to spent a lot of the Dimarcheios money to get a perfect match.

Her date was Shandon Orman, he seemed promising (they had two bolts together). Unfortunately he turned out to be quite a bore :/. Shandon didn't look like he was interested in this date at all - and he wasn't hiding it! - he was so stiff, so unapproachable and they didn't seem to have anything in common at all.

The matchmaking service...what a scam!

The Dimarcheio's - Round 1 pt. 2

#sims 2 #ts2 #jeans shaker oasis #the dimarcheios #there will be a lot of makeovers happening between the screenshoots xD #it's hard for me do to all of them at once #sims 4 really took it's toll on me there

'The Cassidy Project' - Cassidy 07 is the only one of 9 (or 10?!) clones of the original Cassidy that lives with the Dimarcheios. 'The Cassidy Project' was started after Cassidy Dimechairo - the original Cassidy - died of an unknown disease. The mother - Jessica Dimechairo - was the head of the project. After the explosion in the facility, and the escape of the clones, 'The Cassidy Project' was officialy canceled.

Cassidy 07 is mostly at ease with being an artificial being - a copy - so she was allowed to remain with the Dimarcheios - as a replacement of their deceassed daugher. The Dimarcheios are wealthy so Cassidy 07 lives a very comfortably life.

Other clones of the Cassidy still remain in the Jeans Shaker Oasis but Cassidy 07 doesn't remember any of them. Though, it didn't take her long to cross parts with one of the other Cassidy's.

During one of her visits in the local Shopping Centre she run into Cassidy 08. She looked just like her feature-wise...which was extremely annoying. So Cassidy 07 proposed to go get a makeover together - it was just weird not to do so. Cassidy 08 agreed. (Cassidy 08 after a makeover was lazily added in since I didn't took a picture of her back then, I wasn't planing to document my gameplay that much 🤣)

After returning home late in the evening Cassidy 07 went to bed, but her sleep was pretty restless - propably due to meeting for the first time somebody who was bearing the same face as her.
