Just to say: if anyone would ever like different defaults to the ones I make (or defaults full stop, if I haven't made any at all), please just ask! I keep all my original textures, so it's very quick and easy for me to do, and the results will be a lot better quality than extracting textures via Bodyshop/SimPE.

I'm also always happy to share my original texture files for any of my projects, for other people to reuse/recycle in their own work - again, please just ask! I'm nice, really, and I promise I won't yell at you. :)

I'll just leave this here...

P.S. Isn't Trapping a genius? :)

Last one for today, and again a request at GoS, to transfer charterzard's 'Rumor Mill' outfit onto a mesh with flats:



This one was a bit more work than a simple copypaste job...

Firstly, the wonderful jaccirocker swapped the boots on the original mesh for flats, and I tweaked the mapping a little. Also, the original textures didn't survive being exported, so I remade them from the white texture, matching the colours as well as I could - I took the opportunity to remove a bit of residual boobage, tidy up the neckline and restore the contrasting white buttons to some while I was at it.

Finally, I couldn't resist making a few more recolours of my own, as some of the originals weren't quite to my taste (they are all included though).

Original colours:




New colours:



{all colours have black shoes, and appear in both everyday and formal categories}





CREDITS:

Xandher/Gelydh/charterzard (dress) and Amaryll (shoes) for the original textures
Azaya for the original mesh, with Amaryll's flats added by jaccirocker
Aelia (and me!) for colour actions

Because I couldn't have finished these without jacci, the set is credited to 'Curious Dollies', our collaborative name. :)

Continuing with today's kidlets theme... I've finally finished the texture copypasta on a hair mesh that Trapping very kindly age-converted at my request:

There's also something screwy going on the the terrain replacements - under certain circumstances the colours of the 'hood and lot match, and under others they don't. And I'm not sure at the moment whether it's to do with whether a lot is inhabited or not, the season, or the lighting system (Gunmod's Radiance lighting vs. Maxis lighting) - too many factors to compute, and my brain is exploding!

Gahhh, I'm beginning to wish I'd never started this... ;)

Anyway, along with the other fixes - hopefully at the weekend if I can work out what's going on - I'll probably also be releasing a new version of the terrain replacements too.

I'm also now aware that there is a problem with the Seasons road overlay mesh (and the floor tiles in Seasons), in that the lighting in live mode is completely wrong (plus shadows clip through it, and it doesn't get snow on in winter). Stupid me, I only tested it in buy mode on an uninhabited lot, and it looked fine there. :(

Anyway, once again I'm onto it, and hopefully I'll be able to find a fix. I'll let you all know as soon as I can.

(As far as I'm aware the standard overlay mesh/floor tiles are fine if you don't have Seasons.)

This is pure self-indulgence really (but even if you're not a Whovian, there might well be something else for you under the cut). I can, however, think of one - maybe two - other people who might want this particular piece of art for their games!
