Back from the dead!

Back from the dead! Some years passed, more gray hairs but still rocking CC! 😁

Shadowmaps

Note to self: Apparently you can't just delete the shadowmap of a clothing piece. o_O'

 

Sims 4!

Oh right, a blog is supposed to be keeping you up to date, right? So yeah seems fair to post an update after 3 years haha.

I started recoloring some objects a few weeks back and everything seems to go pretty smoothly so far. With my crop top - triangles I even learned some new stuff with specular and shadow maps which were also always a pain in the @!&* with the Sims 3. I've been working on just the thumbnails, shadow- and specular maps for 4 hours.. trying to replace the thumbnails with S4ColorMagic but it didn't really work. Then tried the same in S4PackageExtractor but also no luck I kept getting errors and unmatching names.. Then tried to Go back to S4Studio but then my whole dds file was corrupted because of the missing thumbnails.. Then I started over again.. Forgot to check standalone.. Started over again.. Specular map was hidden and only visible in S4PE.. Could not replace it.. So just remove it.. Then launch the game and a horrible shadow shows up on the chest.. Again was only visible in S4PE.. So edited the shadowmap.. 6 times because of the weird alpha channel who is stretched out waaaay to much in the game.. Tried in it game again.. AND IT WORKS! Well, kinda... But it looks pretty so that's good enough for me :D so yes the thumbnail will be missing with some projects but you just have to deal with it ;)
So that is that.. I still have some stuff I would like to try out but if you have any wishes I'm open for suggestions.

Oh I almost forgot, for the people who have also been downloading my Sims 2 and/or Sims 3 stuff might have noticed something: From now on I will no longer call myself KliekieSims, but just Kliekie. This will be easier to find me because my username is also just Kliekie.

Happy Simming!

Downloads!

Wooh over 2000 downloads on the Ikea Expedit bookshelf! New Sims 3 record! :D <3 Thanks all ^^

Modelling!

Finally I took the time to understand Sims 3 modelling!

To be honest it is surprisingly easy if youre already familliar with 3D and texturing :) The only thing what keeps bugging me are specular maps, somehow they never work as how I want them to do o.O

Currently working on a dining set, when I fixed the ridiculous spec on the chair I'll upload it ;)

When thats done I'm gonna take a look at clothing and accessoires, see how that will go ^^

Objects!

Wootwoot! I finally found out how to recolor objects XD I tried some things out on pets stuff and I'll upload it soon.
Currently I'm also working on a new housestyle ^^

Picture: Notice the foodbowl behind the kitten, thats one of the simple recolors so far :p
Cant understand why nobody else ever made that cheap foodvowl just plain white.. *wonders*
