Bi-weekly (errr...) Project Post

[aquilegia]

Looks like meatspace and other concerns ate up the last month and a half for way too many of us. *coughs, shuffles feet* Whoops! Let's get back into gear, shall we?

Friendly mod reminder: We haven't kept up with this like we should have so we're not going to worry about earlier posts, but from here on out please keep your preview pictures to a size no more than 600x450 pixelsto be layout and bandwith friendly. Thank you!

Last post.

New feature: A 'recently posted' links roundup of items posted in the community in the time between project posts! They link to the simwidth posts -- please weigh in with your opinion about this. (Also please let me know if I bolloxed anything up -- there was a metric fucktonne of links to catch up with...)

Want to make my life easier? (Sure you do!) Make your post titles as descriptive as possible! :)

Re: General Sims Chatter

Speaking of meshes: HP's Gaius hair. Gender conversion AND age conversion because Hat provided me with an appropriate bribe. Trying to get linking the recolour to the new meshes to work quite possibly gave me double the silver hair I already have.

One more mesh, and then I only have an eternity of clickybutton work for the recolours. Hahahasob.

I'm hoping to get done with my Nouk hairs for my next hair dump-- got eighteen done so far (HP, mostly with Alfred textures, a fixed Peggy hair because her alpha-ing fails and this was brought to my attention, Aligeth's Courtly Locks and monk's tonsure, and a good start on the Noukishness), but dang man I feel like I need a nap because my frickin' brother-in-law brought contagion into the house, of the 'nothing that comes out of me should be that shade of green' variety. I'm trying to finish up Nouk's Lady hair (fifteen or sixteen groups per age. This is not appropriate don't do that), but I have gone all droopy with the button-clicking. Still got eleven Nouk hairs I want to finish, but. At this rate, today is a wash. I should just go watch cartoons.

And yet I am all "MUST HAVE ALL THE HAIRS ALL OF THEM not that one it's not Medieval enough BUT ALL THE REST OF THEM except this one the more I look at it the more I hate it BUT ALL THE REST OF THEM wasn't somebody fixing this one maybe I'll wait..."

Gaius and Gaiusette (and whatever you're doing to Nouk's Male Long hair?) will wedge their way onto my list just as soon as meshes appear. I've already got HP's textures Pooklet'd, and Alfred's are waiting for all the button-clicking.

Oh, also, I actually managed to retexture HP's Kara in a fashion I am happy with! Not just reduce the contrast but I wedged Pooklet's textures onto there!

Awesome. :D I bet it looks way better now.

The last mesh cooperated, so! *fistpump* I'll be recolouring the Gaius/Gaia ones with Alfred's textures and your binning system, fyi. I need to alpha the textures, but they're already recoloured. But the eternity of clickybuttoniiing -- although the worst part is waiting for the import. It takes as long as a skintone with different textures for every single age, I swear.

Sympathy on getting the plague! I hope you feel better soon.

Oh, wait, there's one I don't have to do? AWESOME. I'll just do HP's textures, for versatility. And god I know about the damned importing. Part of it is the sheer size of the files, although it does at least preserve Alfred's lovely curls. I'm all excited, it's such a nice reasonable haircut for kids! And women. But kids! Kids need hair.

I think Kara came out rather nicely, really! 'Better' is probably a matter of taste, but it at least blends in with Pooklet's textures.

Thank you and I hope I start feeling better soon, too. I have, like, no voice left. I'm all croaky.

I am MOST excited to hear about a re-texture of HP's Kara hair - love the style (except perhaps that strand of fringe, which I might have to overcome my fear of alpha-editing to deal with), but really can't stand the textures these days...I was so in love with it when it first came out! :D

Re: General Sims Chatter

[hat_plays_sims]

I'm pretty pleased with it myself! Couple of days to finish my Nouk hairs and my commission and get all my swatches made and clever names come up with (five out of... twenty-one have names so far, and I just can't upload something without a name!), and I'll have a hair dump to go up.

I need, like, a preview banner for hair dumps. I hate not having anything besides babble and boilerplate outside the cut.
