IM GOING FUCKING BESERK

Hello guys! First of all happy new year ! Hope you had a great time out there :) 🎆

Today I'm writing this to explain why decimation of Sims 4 meshes is paramount while converting stuff. You know me, I don't like to make statements as english isn't my first language and I find it difficult sometimes to actually write things down - even in italian I struggle sometimes lol. BUT I think this would be useful to all the cc converters and creators out there. So please, take this as an advice, for the sake of our oldie and beloved Sims 3.

Little backstory: I was casually browsing tumblr the other day and stumbled across a beautiful food set converted from Sims 4 - which I immediately saw was high quality. Just for curiosity I downloaded it, checked the polycount of a random object (if you're new here it's the total number of polygons found in a three-dimensional model) and it had way too many polys: 28k vertices - 34k faces + 4096x4096 textures.

Sims 3 is quite an old game now. Every player had experienced lag and glitches at some point so it's very, very important to make the stuff you create/convert from other games suitable for it! Here comes to the rescue a super useful tool in blender called decimation. It basically "allows you to reduce the vertex/face count of a mesh with minimal shape changes", as said on blender website. In just 2 minutes and with not so much effort I was able to reduce those polygons down to 8,4k vertices - 7,4k faces. Do you see any difference? I don't honestly.

Optimization is the key. Converting from sims 4 is not just taking the mesh and textures and putting them all in Sims 3. I wish it was tho!

You're free to put whatever you want in your game but you have to think about the game performance as well. There are people who still play the game and as an ex player I got really upset when I had laggy gaming sessions.

Having said that, here's a tut about blender and the decimation tool, done by @simaddix and which I think covers every important aspect of that useful tool.

If you read this all, thank you! Now I can go back to convert new stuff :D

the 911 fandom in general, on all social media except maybe reddit, is really bad at taking other less popular’s people idea’s and not giving credit. Happened to me once back in s5, took my screenshot and everything.

Literally just saw a post someone popular on here posted and it very much verbatim my theory about where Buck’s gonna recover from the coma. Like, I know a lot of people are thinking the same thing… but they used the exact same things I said nearly exactly.

Anywayyy it was my theory first lol

I ❤️ caffeine from sweet tea but kind of energy

Happy new year all !

We might finally get the 6x11 synopsis tomorrow!!!

What I HOPE happens in the finale is that Buck and Eddie realize their respective romantic interests aren’t what they need, and that Buck and Eddie meet in the middle, on Eddie’s couch, and talk about how they’re each other’s constant. Fade to black, implied buddie canon.

Buck so queercoded my little nonbinary blorbo

This is funny because they were all confirmed as pansexual.

another day and another show that ISNT queerbaiting because it has MULTIPLE explicitly confirmed bisexual characters! y’all want to erase bi people so bad!

This reminds me how I started House m.d. because (spoilers even though the last episode aired 11 years ago) in last episode of the show in the last scene House and his best friend ride off together into the sunset because Wilson was dying of cancer.

they’re best friends

I am painfully serious about being spec-less for the finale but I'll tell you what I do have. An extremely good fucking feeling
