A Cosmic Glow

1K Followers Party Part 4 (and final): Objects!

Gut Goss Gosties - Startrekvsfaceapp x Dall-E Posters on NL Grilled Cheese

I'm a huge Trekkie, so I follow Startrekvsfaceapp on Tumblr, and recently they've been posting AI-generated TV & movie posters they made with Dall-E. I freaking CRIED laughing over these because this type of thing just hits my strange brand of humor on the nose. I thought they'd be great as wall deco for my Sims 2 game, but wasn't sure anyone else would have a use for them. However, Pooklet and Azaya apparently share my sense of humor, because they uploaded these cereal boxes and wall graffiti for their Advent a couple of months ago (which went right into my game of course), so I decided why the hell not 😆

It's kind of ironic that the first CC with text I'm sharing since I switched back to English in my game sounds remarkably like Simlish (I swear during the brief time I played TS4 I heard a sim say the exact words "Furntra Furnuma"). But using Simlish in a semi-realistic game didn't work - I'd either have to use content that looks out of place, spend years recreating everything I like in Simlish, or forego using text entirely. Now I feel like I've been granted a dangerous power and I plan to wreak havoc upon TS2 with it 😈

There are a few with more than one poster for the same media, because you're not going to make me decide between "Roobo Robit" and "Rop Boop," or "Zemp Meep" and "Smer Mep." Obviously. There are 24 in total:



Like it says these are on the Grilled Cheese poster from Nightlife, and are shown with Sushigal007's add-ons and NekoSayuri's smaller one from this set (I may not play Maxis Match, but give me ALLLLL the add-ons for Maxis objects I use, especially wall deco!) And if you're a Trek fan on Tumblr and you like crazy AI-generated nonsense and terrifying Faceapp monstrosities, give Startrekvsfaceapp a follow!

Base Game Designer Lounge Recolors with Azaya's textures

The name for this chair in the catalog is ? = (C^11)? (uh... wtf? Is that a math equation?) but the game files call it chairloungedesigner because it's part of the Designer collection. I love Azaya's retexture and have her default for it from the same post, and I wanted more recolors, so I did 14. I've been trying to branch out a little with colors in my game, but ended up going with the usual purple/teal/blue/pink jewel tones and pastels because they suited it best. Oh well.

BG Zecutime Cityside Sofa Recolors with Alexis' textures

I never really used this sofa in the game before, but I saw this nice retexture of it in Azaya's legacy and she kindly re-uploaded it for me here since it was from SimsCave 10 years ago and thus probably lost to the void. It's by someone named Alexis. I did 22 recolors, except for the black one they're all neons and pastels because apparently that's what I do these days for CC that isn't dark and spooky. So, not for the faint of heart I guess 😆



These also recolor the matching loveseat (not shown) and PineappleForest's living chair add-on (which is shown). The metal frame recolor in the preview is also theirs from the same post. I did do a default for myself, but I doubt it'd be of use to anyone else because I think I used some of the brightest colors (I know Hangfire and Pyridine were two of them). However, if anyone wants default neon couches, hit me up and I'll upload it for you.

Neon Jungle - Buggybooz Pots & Planters (in colors plant pots shouldn't come in)

So... I use the heck out of this set in my game, and I did recolors a few years back - but again, since I started truly expressing myself with my game and turned it into a rainbow hellscape, I wasn't using them anymore. I don't think I've seen these in bright colors or pastels anywhere, which is understandable, because, well *points to the title*. So here's 60 - yes, SIXTY - recolors, 30 grungy ones using a texture by someone named Mimi that came with Shasta's repo'd & improved version of the set, and 30 with the original texture. The grungy ones are mostly vibrant (that's an understatement) colors using actions by Pooklet, Furbyq, & BerryNooboos. The plain ones are mosty pastels and some jewel tones (I think some of the latter are repeats from the old set but I might have tweaked them this time and they have a new dirt texture anyway).

Grungy swatch:



Plain swatch:



The One Mesh To Rule Them All (planter 2 large) is included, but be sure to get the whole set here (Pots & Planters 2015), and hokadk47 has add-ons here and here, I used a couple of them in my preview.

So this was supposed to be posted 2 days ago, but I started working on it too late in the month, kept adding onto it, and am perpetually late and slow in general. Then I spent way too much time setting up and fiddling with previews, and I kept getting the disappearing makeup glitch. But... better late than never, right? If you're like me and it's Halloween every day in your game, you may find a use for these 😆

( It's close to midnight... and something evil's lurking in the dark... )

 

My third and final contribution to the bi-monthly theme!



I'm not sure if ReligioSims is a separate creator from RetailSims, because I found this set on the Graveyard under RetailSims and some of the meshes were created by someone named Kisa. But anyway, here are some items from the Pagan set. I intended to do a few more and then the Pagan Shop set as well but I ran out of time, so this will be part 1 of a series.

Today is my 40th birthday ( Y I K E S 😳 ), but you folks are the one getting gifts! The theme is Déjà Vu - all but one of these things I’ve recolored in the past and have revisited to suit my current aesthetic. Now with 500% more purple!

Ummm... Laegrinna, are you trying to tell me something with those skull candles? I know I’m not young anymore, but-

Laegrinna: Oh, haha, Velguirie picked those out.

Velguirie: She likes skeletons!

Ahem. Anyway, info, pics, and downloads under the cut!

I know, it was yesterday (two days ago for some of you judging by the time where I am), and I’m late as usual... but I have no concept of time and kept adding things until the day before. Then today I needed to tweak something 😫 Details & downloads under the cut!

 

I needed a suit of armor that matched my game style for the castle Laegrinna will eventually be moving into, and I had the idea to put this gorgeous retexture by Sherahbim onto Decat's OFB knight statue. I wasn't able to get the feather on the brown recolor to match up properly with the mesh, but here are the green and red ones plus Slig's purple recolor from their default for the mascot suit (which I highly recommend).

My sim Farah is going to open a hair salon, and I love Maylin's Chloe Coiffure set and wanted it in more colors. So here it is in 10 colors.

If you are interested in the model posters, they are also by me and can be found here :)
