Have a project you've been sitting on for ages but don't have the time/skills to complete it? Looking for a long-term collaborator for a series of projects you're planning? Want someone to test/give feedback on something? DO YOU NEED A COLLABORATOR OF ANY KIND, FOR ANY SIM-RELATED REASON AT ALL? This is the thread for you. Reply to this comment with the details of your project/idea/what have you and if someone's interest, they can comment back to you and you can sort out the details.

Note: This is not a request thread. The point is not for you to ask people to make things for you, but with you, cool? Cool!

Want to see more of a particular something in sims creations? Reply here. If you think there's a lack of cute elder clothes, or a particular brand of fantasy-style CC, a body mesh you really love or type of hair style, tell us!

The point of this thread is to hopefully inspire people to make more of whatever you think is lacking. Again, it's not for specific requests, there are other places for that. This is just to give a general idea of what you would personally like to see more of from creators.

Have some resources you'd like to share? Websites that are good for textures or meshes, or just have really pretty pictures that inspire you to create? How about tutorials you've found to be really helpful? Comment here!

How was your week in sims? TELL US ALL ABOUT IT IN THIS THREAD. We would like to know about your new legacy heir or your conquer of that mesh with which you were doing battle!

I HEARD YOU LEFT THE COMPUTER AT SOME POINT THIS WEEK. What was that like? If you just want to blather or let off steam about the week you had outside of sims, share non-sim links of interest or what have you, this is the thread for it!

If you would like us to add a thread or have a question about the existing ones, reply here!

I am going to spam my own post and idgaf.

I LOVE THIS FUCKING SONG YOU GUYS.

Also I have been cleaning and packing nonstop for a drive up to Toronto with Boy to visit Best Friend for her birthday/graduation and UGHHH EVERYTHING IS A MESS I AM A FILTH WIZARD also how glad am I that I will be missing this G20 nonsense by at least a few days. SO GLAD YOU GUYS.

House plan websites, fuck yeah.

Partially shaved hairs (I'm working on a pair of them ;D). Short hairs for women. Normal and plain hair for males.

And someone at GOS pointed this out but... meshes for males, same pants with different shoes and that kind of things. I want Docs for my males!

Yuxi did some docs in her SS gift to me here! 8-x

But you're right man, we need more dude shoes.

... Actually...

I've been working on these stacks of coins on this mesh-- not recolors, what I'm trying to do is clone the coins, paint one set copper, one set silver, and one set gold, and arrange it so each single coin, stack of coins, and bunch of stacks of coins has an assigned value that does not depreciate, ever. My thinking is, for things like dowries, counting-houses, Scrooge Mc~~Duck~~Sim's money bin, pirate lairs, or just taking money out of your family's bank account and being able to put it on a table or something, so it's not wasted but it's not easily spend-able, either. (Also great for when you graduate Uni with a shitload of grant money that you can't take with you unless you buy some weird-ass giant Thing from the catalog.)

And I got the textures done, I got the values working so nothing depreciates, I got unique GUIDs assigned to all nine objects, but no matter what I do they all show up with the same texture. And I don't think I made them base-game compatible. Does anyone who knows more about object creation want to prod at them for a while? They've been sitting in my catalog making me feel guilty for months.

Hair that sits close to the head.

Because full hair is awesome but I'm tired of Sims that look like a shampoo commercial parody.

Seconded, so hard. :|

I have you'd fourteen hairs! ... I had Body Shop open while I was working on my Servos and I got bored of wood.

Servos are nearly complete! I am very excited. However I am ridiculously lazy about taking pictures, seriously.

Do flaming poo bags disappear if you happen to miss their delivery?

I don't need to leave my computer. For some mysterious reason, since Wednesday night, the theme park in town has been setting off fireworks every night at about 9:45. I can see them from my home office's window-- all I have to do is lean back in my chair a little. They just finished for the night.

I have no idea why this is happening.

*verb* 8D

I am super excited for those Servos, even though I don't play medieval, I love having steampunkish robotics in my game.

I don't think they do, actually. IIRC, the last time I had one, it just stayed there smoldering. Forever. Until I directed a sim to stamp it out. They couldn't just dispose of it or what have you, unfortunately. Bear in mind, though, my game is a cesspool of hacks so I am probably not the most objective of sources, hurr.

What makes me sad is that there are a TON of really cute hairstyles out there that I'd LOVE to use, except they make Sims look like bobblehead dolls.

If I really like them, I tend to try to scale them down in milkshape. I did with that one recent Peggy bob everyone and their great aunt recolored but never got around to releasing it because, eh, lazy.

Thank you! I'm pretty excited about 'em myself. I'll be putting out a fully decorated version, a blank-just-joints version, a package to make any Servo matte instead of shiny (people keep asking for matte Servos, and apparently I'm not cool enough to stick by my guns Pescado-style and say "No, because I want the shiny kind," so), a buyable Servo hack with a less-tech, more-magic catalog description, and I really probably ought to make it so there's the new description with buyable option... wait there was something else-- Oh yes! PSDs of the head and body, because if people want a woodgrained-puppet skintone, I support that, but I don't wanna DO it.

Hrm. Must not have gotten one from my wicked witch's really bad date, then. Perhaps if she set someone on fire...

Peggy's one of the worst offenders, too. You should totally release it! People would shower you with praise. ... With more praise. *has spent the last two days Pookletting Nouk hairs with lovely, lovely actions*

House plans I'll actually use, fuck yeah.
I like building cute lil homes. :3

I made Twilight sims. Someone come put me out of my misery.

It's not my fault, it began with someone else making horrendous ones and me going "Oh I can do that better and I'll PROVE IT."

I went swimming in the coooold Baltic (15C/59F), wrote, made delicious strawberry-filled chocolate cupcakes, and read a book series.

Doctrine of Labyrinths: Don't be fooled by the romance-y covers: noir fantasy best describes these books. The world is lushly imagined, realistically gritty, and full of fascinating twists on our own technology and mythology as well as elaborate subplots. It definitely rewards re-reading.

It has quite possibly become one of my top three favourite book series, which is saying quite a lot given how much I read.

Sample chapters here. Monette's short stories are also very much worth a read.

I didn't actually -do- anything, but I thought about it! ... *cough*

My next projects are definitely to get the MtF Gaius hair conversion done, and to finish the base game set of the adjusted male fat morph/properly fitted clothes default replacements.
