Architecture In Assassin's Creed

Somebody made the mashup that was in my head! Assassin's Creed Unity + Les Miserables. It made my jaw drop.

Got Dreamwidth now, added link above. Here's a great post on how to use & customize DW, by @farfromdaylight.

Preparing For a Tumblr Shutdown Scenario - Where to Find Me Elsewhere.

After reading the news about Tumblr I finally set up other accounts elsewhere. I'll open a Dreamwidth as well. Links are also in the profile description. Right now it feels a bit empty out there for sims 2, I'd like to find people from over here, over there.

Dreamwidth - I'll be posting downloads and such over there and on forums, the other (anti)social media accounts will reference it. Pillowfort - Felidae. BlueSky - @felidae-sims.bsky.social. Garden of Shadows - Felidae. Mod the Sims Felidae_Sims. Simblr.CC - Felidae.

Edit: Changed account at MTS, typos.. Added Dreamwidth account.

Understanding UV Mapping - How Map Projections Work.

Back to Geography with this one; I've seen in some places people say they don't like/understand UV Mapping or unwrapping. Well, I love mapping and had this video saved, It's short and light and explains very clearly how projections work. It helped me catch up on the issue. Unwrapping from what I understand, is basically the first part in the video where the guy is fighting the globe.

Interesting. Very good to know, thanks.

This is a big one.

📦 Tuesday CC Dump

Here's this thing (two things, to be exact) I came up with. Looks kinda modernist, as in: eastern bloc modernism 😅 Decorative bits can be used on its own to create a sort of leaning pergola.

Angled Wall mini set

Download: SFS | BOX

❗ Note: Top bit becomes quite dark if a wall is lit from the opposite side :/

Angled wall mask is actually a window but I categorized both objects as Buildmode/Architecture (so M&G EP is required).

*This is for The Sims 2

Looking for Sims files

Hi,

I run a website called The Sims Graveyard.

http://thesimsgraveyard.com/

I am always looking for files from creators/websites that have left or disappeared from the community to ensure that their work doesn't get lost. Anything from Sims2, Sims3, or Sims4.

I will always have a running list of "missing" creators/websites on the graveyard website, but I will also be posting individual WCIF posts here on tumblr, hoping that maybe someone on tumblr has the files who maybe hasn't been to the website, or people can share my WCIF posts and maybe it will reach someone else who does have the files.

I am strictly using this for WCIF posts, please communicate with me through my website for anything else. Thank you!

GUID Database Revival

I've finished setting up a way to revive the GUID database, albeit not an automatic one, it is low-key, but rather simple. Instructions are on the pinned post. [It's a Dreamwidth community, basically one webpage where people can dump their GUID info, straight from Excel or a list].

It is searchable with multi search add-ons for browser. Search for multiple entries in one go.

Avoid conflicts with originally registered GUIDs (Not foolproof; assuming GUIDs where assigned in a certain way).

Avoid conflicts with new random GUIDs (that are in the DB).

Creators are indexed - see if your favorite active creators are on there.

Everyone can join, but only members can post. Happy Simming! https://sims2-guid-database.dreamwidth.org/ Example:

Obligatory CCR music:

Great info! That's the reason some conversions from newer games have flat and unsaturated textures.

It's a great method for shading even if you don't have a normal map. Make one out of the texture with an image editing software, or with Nvidia Texture Tools Exporter. If the texture is too flat, it can be made out of the mesh itself in blender, like so.

Shout-out to people converting objects to TS2 from other games. Don't ignore normal maps!

You can retain many details by desaturating (the right way) normal map and using it as overlay.
