<br />
I wasn't aware until today that non-default skins are packaged into sims3pack files (that could be over 30 image files) and added to a person's game regardless of whether or not it was previously installed. I have seen the issue with the charcoal and shiny sims, but I was not aware that the files were being so intrusive.<br />
When I learned of this, I removed my sims3pack for Rain. I will repackage her wearing a default skin tone and upload the new file (if I package her in my default skin, the game will automatically process your default skin when you load the file--no new files are installed and no charcoal sims). I'm guessing most people do not know about this info.<br />
Rez Delnava, the creator of the UI mod that enables use of non-defaults skins (MTS) has stated repeatedly that the game was never meant to be processing these types of files. <br />

Meet <span style="font-size: large;">A<span style="font-size: small;">phena<span style="font-size: large;"> X</span>i</span></span>, time traveling sim. Born in the <b><i>Mines of Tanizlar</i></b> eons ago, Aphena travels the fabric of space-time looking to unravel it's mysteries and behold its beauty. Today she is nestled in the <b><i>Oxycoral Reefs</i></b> of her home planet. A time to rest and dream about new lands.<br />
<br />
She is my favorite model, and I will be posting some photo series that feature her in settings ranging from space travel to steam-punk. Eventually all picture posts will be transferred to their own blog.<br />

<a href="http://emhpb/"> Emhpb</a> and I were chatting one day and she was kind enough to tutor me in creating this tattoo in Gimp.<br />
Special thanks to her for making this project possible. She is a kind and patient instructor and I hope to collaborate with her more often in the future.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>texture/patterns<span style="font-size: x-large;"> in .dds format for TS3 creations</span>. Some of these were created to make terrain paints and some were not. I think they would make wonderful CAS patterns, but I haven't really dabbled in that arena yet so feel free to make some! I have tons more textures, will post more later if there is any interest.<br />
The terms of service from where I got the images for these<span style="color: #ffe599;"> </span><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: large;">prohibit commercial use so keep them FREE.</span><br />
<br />
All that I ask is that you post back a link of what you made on my blog comments somewhere--so we I don't reinvent the wheel (so to speak), when I return to terrain paints and patterns projects at a later time. Only because it would be wasteful to spend time making these into patterns, for example, if you have already done so.<br />
Enjoy!<br />

So rather than continue my series on maps, I decided to assemble works that I would personally enjoy in my home or office.<br />
The first was a intended as a series but I picked a strange mesh to clone and had some issues. GCS presents a sculpture by LAA based on the cover art from a novel.Reversible, can be posted facing either way as the image is applied to both surfaces of the mesh.<br />

Here they are.<br />
Vintage maps for you to enjoy.<br />
I'm already working on my next series of wall deco. A sample of the images can be found in an earlier post. Some map textures were just too wide to include in this set without serious distortion. Those few vintage maps will be made into large wall murals.<br />

There are 5 sets (4 sets of 5 and 1 set of 3 for a total of 23 paints). The <span style="font-size: large;">display pics were taken ingame on ground measuring 8x16 tiles each</span>. Each file is numbered and referenced on an image included the download.<br />
I'm calling this batch Release A because I have many more dozens of textures I intend to convert into terrain paints and CAW textures (1024x1024 in .dds format). You can do as you please with these textures, just kindly link back to this blog when you give credit.<br />

Out of the blue I decide to make a Bettie Paige sim.<br />
<br />
Finally a use for all the knee highs and garters in my CAS.<br />
In the end she is a blend of Veronica (Archie's Comics), Bettie Paige and Jessica Rabbit.<br />
She has a bootie like mine--lol <br />

I'm avoiding <i>Faith</i>'s arm tattoo, shhh... (see previous posts). I'm avoiding it because making <a href="http://image.bayimg.com/nanpiaack.jpg">her eye-spikes makeup</a>, took me over 15 editing attempts. The gimp is riding me hard and I really don't know my way around it very well.<br />
"THE GIMP" I call it. All you <i>Pulp Fiction</i> fans know what I'm talking about.<br />
<br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Gimp vs Gimp in the battle for world domination</span></i><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://image.bayimg.com/fangaaacl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="201" src="http://image.bayimg.com/fangaaacl.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><b></b></span><br />
<b><span style="font-size: small;">Sooo I worked on the loft.</span></b><br />
Darkened the brick and mortar, concrete base and prolonged the beam jut on the front.<br />
Refined the symmetry on the rooftop floor plan and redid the roof.<br />
Next step is zig-zagging the staircase up the front windowed section, adding beams and partitioning walls. <br />
Then onto flooring and decor.<br />
<br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: xx-small;">the Heavy Rain loft replica project</span></i><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://image.bayimg.com/banggaacl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="362" src="http://image.bayimg.com/banggaacl.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm tempted</span> to jump into landscaping but I think that's pure avoidance of the stairs issue on my part. After all, we should frost the cake as a last step right?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><i><a href="http://www.heavyrainps3.com/">Heavy Rain</a></i> provided some excellent footage of the inside of the loft but not much for the outside so this building is my brainchild.<br />
The first floor will have storage, parking and gym.<br />
2nd and 3rd are Madison's loft layout (2 story ceilings but one single albeit, split level).<br />
The top story will contain an art studio adjacent the terrace/outdoor entertaining space with landscaping.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://image.bayimg.com/cangoaacl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="362" src="http://image.bayimg.com/cangoaacl.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Two fish stocked pool/ponds where the cedar chips are shown, still in planning plus a <br />
fire-scape on the Eastern wall, leading to the terrace. The lot is 40x30 at the moment but I suppose I could always enlarge it if I decide to landscape more. <br />
<br />
Building on a world called CAS at the moment. It was designed to just bypass loading time and get you to CAS but with the addition of lot editing I've turned it into my building world.<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">CAS World, <i>a ronery but practical place. </i></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>I highly recommend this for builders/decorators. My save time is currently 35 seconds (*does a touchdown victory dance*--OHHH yeahhhh). There is also a world called Builder's World on <a href="http://www.modthesims.info/browse.php?gs=2">MTS</a>. I don't know if that's impressive to YOU but my Sunset Valley takes about 15-20 minutes to save. Yes I know.<br />
"My name is grillcheesesammich, and I am a CC addict."<br />
<br />
Oddly enough, the weather changes on this CAS world. and it's <span style="font-size: large;">beautiful</span>.<br />

Madison's loft is under construction.<br />
I believe I have the layout mapped from video footage of my game.<br />
It's rather scarcely furnished which is a bonus.<br />
Here are some shots of the preliminary building.<br />
This is the first building I actually make from abso-scratch.<br />
Pretty sure I want the brick and concrete darker.<br />

Other than the obvious challenges with the CC armband and tattoo, she poses some good challenges with her bone structure.<br />
She is Eurasion you see, and depending on what renditions you look at, her features vary quite a bit.<br />
I thought the new Jiao skin from MTS would help render her in a more asian way but I soon realized her nose would need to be re-sculpted. <br />
Aikea's skin gives her nose the shape I'm looking for and the tones seem right.<br />

<br />
I'm happy with the way she appears in CAS, I just have to tweak her so she looks fabulous in gameplay.<br />
The other thorn is that she only wears one glove on her left hand. Let's see if I can remove a glove without mucking up. Will report back with updates.<br />

Made a Celeste for Faith. Celeste is the guide in the tutorial if that helps place her.<br />
She is based on the character's conceptual sketches for the game.<br />

Faith Conners --almost done, just need to pull her CC together. That spikey eye mask took me forever to get presentable. I now have 17 copies of the same eye makeup named "FINAL_eye_Spikes.package" that were not so final after all :P That arm tattoo is gonna be a biznatch to make, I feel it.<br />
