This Is Amazing??? A Big Thanks To Both Of You!

this is amazing??? a big thanks to both of you!

I was struggling sooo hard with the text, but yours look so clean and awesome? woahhh thank you!!

A couple months ago @midgethetree made this handy little mod that re-enables the long-lost diary textures. Then @vegan-kaktus (who also kinda requested that mod in the first place) shared these very cute diary replacements. I really like the “classic diary look” of those, but I wanted something that would have more notebook-ish feeling and after I saw these textures at RawPixel I knew I had to use them. 

And! As there were some problems with gendered textures (and I don’t only mean that being dumb criteria to start with), Midge did another, complementary mod that makes it so that every primary aspiration uses different diary textures. So instead of one (or two), you get eight different diary textures that you can have in your game simultaneously! How cool is that? 

You still need the mod that re-enables diary textures in the first place, linked above. Midge was very kind and gave me permission to share the other one (which enables the aspiration-based textures) so that’s included with the download.

The textures you can see above are linked to the aspirations from left to right: fortune, pleasure, knowledge, popularity, romance, family, grilled cheese and grow up (which only kids will use and thus the different layout for that page). If you’d prefer different textures for different aspirations I included the textures with the download as well, so it’s easy to swap them - the family aspiration uses book-cover-diarygirl texture and the romance aspiration uses book-cover-diaryboy, but otherwise it’s pretty self-explaining. I would love to see other defaults based on that mod as well!

Download (SFS) - the default replacement file is compressed. 

Credits: I really can’t thank Midge enough, they were super patient with me when I didn’t understand why things refused to work. I also used the textures by Vegan-Kaktus as a base for mine and her DR was my main inspiration to do these. A small piece of textures is by Slig. Both fonts used in those pages are by @ajaysims and all images are from RawPixel.

Text list

I haven’t had too much luck with my post over at mts, so I figure I could ask here too. Does someone know how to edit names for food under “group meal”? Custom food doesn’t have this problem, but for some reason, when I edit EA food (creating default replacements that is) the text list doesn’t edit the name under “group meal”. Does anyone know?

Edit: I found this after some searching in SimPE:

but I have no idea what it means ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Chris Hatch and HugeLunatic helped me solve this problem! The thread (& solution) is here.

Picrew challenge

This is so darn cute and aesthetically pleasing I just had to jump on the bandwagon. To my much surprise (read: sarcasm) I did not find any hairstyle that looked like my hair, so this was the best I could do (I have curly hair, not wavy like the picture + fuller and curlier bangs)

The hands are cringe I know haha but I have natural long nails so I just had to use them bc I like my nails :-( also, one word: TURTLENECKS<3

And oh, the white moon-shape? It’s a septum lol. Though the ones I wear are fake bc I am too scared to pierce my nose *shrugs*

I’ve been creating default replacements of various things (going to share them soon!) for three days now, so it was pretty nice actually going in game. I haven’t played for years, and I miss it so much. I long for the time when I’ll be done with my neighborhood so I can finally start playing :’( which will be in like 10 years

Anyways, hope you’re having a nice day/evening :-)

Why can’t I ever finish my goddamn projects before starting new ones?? Like, I need to finish my neighborhood (I WANT TO PLAY) but at this rate I’ll never finish it bc instead I’m constantly working on stuff, downloading cc, going through my downloads folder, editing cc, trying out new defaults and I just AAAHHHH-

I personally don’t like EA’s toys and the only DR I liked was this pony by bienchen83. I then decided to do my own, and well, this was much easier than I thought so here they are! Remember you can only have one default replacement per toy. In other words, one for the pony, one for the car and so on.

Pony: I used the DR from bienchen83 but retextured it, edited the mesh a little bit, fixed the shadow and also deleted unnecessary files inside the package so now it’s smaller and cleaner.

Car: replaced with a car by @veranka-downloads (which you can find here). I edited the shadow a little bit.

Rocketship: replaced with a train by @veranka-downloads (which you can find here). I edited the shadow a little bit.

Boat: replaced with a llama by @veranka-downloads (which you can find here).

I changed the car and llama’s “hand-position” to the pony one, that way they fit the hands better when used. You can download them individually or all in one merged package file. All files have been compressed to reduce file size. I think that’s all? If you run into any issues, please let me know!

DOWNLOAD: SFS | MTS

Credits: All the credit goes to Veranka and bienchen83. All I did was some minor editing and turning them into default replacements.

Edit: the layout of this post looks weird when I view it on my phone but normal on my pc, why tumblr? >:(
