TS3 - Red To Gold Colour Mod for TS3 World Adventures EP’s “FountainAsia2x2″
D E F A U L T R E P L A C E M E N T
I don’t work for Maxis The Sims 3 Studio in San Francisco, I don’t work for EA Shanghai, I’m just correcting Maxis The Sims 3 Studio employee’s job due to incorrectly and horribly wrong of Chinese dragon colour portrayal in Shang Simla’s World Adventures Expansion Pack.
Do not just slap red colour to every Chinese object just because you think red is considered as lucky colour in Chinese culture. Especially this is statue and fountain to spurt water. To designers, please recall University subject of colour theory, culture, and art history.
Chinese dragon is traditionally coloured GOLD. Not red. It’s obvious the employee who colored the Shang Simla’s dragon fountain must be taking stereotype from Mushu, comedic tiny red “dragon” from animated movie Disney’s Mulan (1998), didn’t consult to Chinese person at all.
Chinese dragons are gods who control rain, weather, and seasons.
Chinese dragons are kind, benevolent, powerful, who bring luck and prosperous. In Chinese New Year, there is Dragon Dance (the dragon has gold colour) as symbol for good luck.
-------------------------------
Changes:
Overlay --> Change colour to Gold
Specular --> More shinier to resemble gold dragon statue in real life
Buyable object has automatic gold colour default replacement from catalogue.
Known issues:
There are old thumbnails unchanged on CAS mode, please ignore it. The Dragon color is still gold.
Dragon fountain in Shang Simla doesn’t automatically change to gold colour due to different coding in-game (it has different fountain stone colour too). ❗ You need to install Nraas’ Debug Enabler (Core mod by Twallan) in order to work correctly ❗
Follow these steps to reset the textures:
Click on the fountain > Nraas > Debug Enabler > Options: The Water Breathing Dragon > Objects... > Reset Textures > (Choose one) All Sims3.Gameplay.Objects.Environment.FountainAsia2x2 or This Object

This pen isn't my usual aesthetic at all so I was baffled when I saw one at @babayaga-official's house a couple weeks ago and it awakened a deep and primal Need within me. Days later I remembered it was because I'd spent some formative childhood years obsessed with this:
(And then she bought me one of my own for my birthday because she is a goddamn thoughtful sweetheart)
“Fear death, for it will seek you out even as you read these words.” The Gates of Death are guarded by two life-size iron gargoyles that belch forth green slime (C Bradford Gorby, from “The Crypt of Istaris,” Richard Fichera’s AD&D Dungeon module insert in Dragon magazine 155, March 1990)
For mages of all kinds, there's nothing more important than mana. The most powerful wizards of the realms have found a way to harness its power, and safely store it in magical devices.
This chamber located deep within one of the most powerful magic organizations harbors a fascinating amount of the magical energy. And it's enough to drive any mortal mad. And mad is what the Grand Wizard has become. Fueled by an almost unlimited supply of mana they are now one of the most powerful mages in the world.
Can the party stop this madness before it consumes us all?

I just posted the first chapter of my new Handers rom com (yes, a rom com, not a horror -- I thought for my banner, I'd try and recreate the scene from Clueless with Cher in front of the fountain but instead of water it's the blood of Hawke's enemies. Not sure how well it comes across.) I've really enjoyed working on the first half of this over the last few weeks so I hope you'll like it too!
Pairing: Anders/Male Hawke
Rating: Mature
Chapters: 2/? (I'm thinking 7 but not certain about that)
Words: 8001
Tags: Jealousy, Mutual Pining, Friends to Lovers, Bets & Wagers, Roommates, Oblivious Hawke, Humour, Bickering, Sharing a Bed, Idiots in Love, Romantic Comedy, Past Fenris/Hawke, Minor Anders/Nathaniel Howe
Summary:
When Anders makes a bet that requires him to find a date to Aveline's wedding, Hawke is concerned that his friend might be rushing in to something that could get him hurt.
That's really all it is: concern. Just regular friendly concern.
If you’ve been around long enough to know who Phaze/Tobes is, then I am sorry it’s taken me 15 years to draw the guy who wants to murder him.
Gil has zero chill with there being another male of his race (because it gets in the way of him feeling special), and has made it a personal mission of his to hunt down Tobes.
A highly successful business man. Gil uses his corporate empire to control and inflict suffering on those working under him, seeing it as ‘the price they have to naturally pay for being born an inferior species’. He is an irredeemable monster of a person.
It’s been a long time since I’ve done anything with him, and it feels good to finally have a design settled for him.
