Look What I Found! Turns Out Sims Were Originally Able To Get A Glass Of Water From The Fridge? I Assume

Look what I found! Turns out sims were originally able to get a glass of water from the fridge? I assume they moved that interaction to the sink (a very wise choice haha) but I find it funny they "left" (?) the interaction in the files, and just wrote "you shouldn't see this in game" instead of removing it

I know absolutely shit about coding so maybe they did it this way because it's easier and faster than removing it?

hi! this is just an appreciation ask. i love everything u do to help preserve cc. thank u <3

Hello illenlan! :-D asdfghjkl thank you so much for the kind words 🥺🥺🥺

Hi Vegankaktus, I want to ask you about how the "PROJECT: FOOD" is coming along? I love the "100% Vegan" sticker on the milk carton, it's a nice touch, but the English word "VEGAN" would look better in a simlish font that you can find on MTS. Are there any plans after you finish the food DR project? And also, how did you found that exact Macaroni image that maxis use? Good day

Hello absolutelydandyza! :-D my food project is going well, thank you for asking! I'm unfortunately very slow, and don't have as much freetime anymore which is a bummer 🥴 as for the vegan sticker, I tried all of my simlish fonts but I didn't like the look of it (yeah I'm very picky). I might give it another try in the future though :-)

This sticker and the coca cola texture are the only designs in my food overhaul containing non-simlish letters, since I want to use simlish as much as possible!

After I finish my food project I'm thinking of improving every clothing in the game. Keeping the Maxis-feel but editing them slightly (i.e shoeswap, edit colors, edit textures etc). I've started slighty with this project with my NPC defaults and my plan is to finish NPC's first and then move on to clothes :-D

The macaroni image! I have absolutely no idea tbh hahaha. All I did was search for "macncheese texture" and after some hours of skimming through images trying to find a fitting texture, I stumbled upon it and immediately I was like:

At first I thought surerly I was only imagining things. I mean, there's no way I could find the exact same image Maxis used back in 2004 - but turns out I did 🥴

I apologize for my long reply, I tend to get carried away when talking about my projects haha. I wish you (and anyone reading this) a good day as well :-D

Not that big of a change, but ohgod the orange bread and meat was disturbing to my eyes. THAT'S NO BURGER

One random question

I've come to the realization that my food project/overhaul (or what to call it) will be kind of texture heavy bc I give most of the items their own texture resource. So my question is, which way is best (memory-wise) for the game?

give every "item" their own texture but never go above 512 in size (i.e more textures but smaller images. Most images are about 128 or 256 atm)

smash together as many textures I can in one image and put them in 1024x1024 textures (i.e fewer textures but larger images)

I don't really know that much about how the game handles textures etc, and I have yet to experience the pink soup so any insight would be wonderful 😬 (I'm planning on making a "low-res" version of my overhaul as well)

Oh and also! Onto something else haha, I think I found the EXACT same image EA used in their macncheese:

Look at the holes and forms, it has to be the same one!

And while we're here, this is how my macncheese is looking atm:

Not sure if I'm 100% done, I think - as usual - that there's something off with my design 🥴

hello! thank you for making my TS2 more beautiful, I love your replacements so much <3

Hello pepitosims! :-D thank you so much for the kind words 🥺 that's so nice of you, and I'm so glad to hear you like them!!!
