[Build items] Forest path murals

[esperesa]

Still here, yes. Aside from trying to manage the avalanche of uni stuff and a growing shopping addiction (I'm ashamed to admit I have a case of Exploding Dresser going on here), I've been redecorating my room with kitsch fake baroque shit because things started falling apart. All I need now is a new lamp (the old one fell down on my head, haha...ha).

I'm mainly posting to dump a little extra thingy here: After a gentle telepoke by the awesomely awesome iosiren, I made some murals out of pictures I spammed here earlier.



fdfsda I don't understand why I never noticed these windows before. They're utterly gorgeous.

I'll put the rest of them pictures under a cut because no one needs to see that shit twice. The murals don't have those black borders and they're hi-res and Compressorized.

All of that said, I caved in and installed TS3 because I am a weak, weak woman. Now I need to figure out this crap about mods and patches and EPs and sliders and how to reduce the pudding factor. I wonder if there is a way to desaturate the lighting like in TS2? Hmm.

Great!!! Thanks yuxi, and please don´t leave the sims 2 please!! I uninstall the sims 3 because there are a big shit

[esperesa]

I won't leave TS2 anytime soon, no worries! XD I'll play both, if anything - I like decorating a lot more in TS2 because of the high-resolution textures.

[hidraxia]

Great!! The comunity need you!!

These are so freaking mind-numbingly gorgeous, Yuxi! Thank you so much for sharing, I was just thinking it would be nice to have some more natural murals.

[esperesa]

You're very welcome! 8D

[iosiren]

Hooray! 8D 8D 8D Thanks for making these, I can't wait to get ingame to see how to use them (and I already have the perfect cabin in a forest :3)

TS3 can be fun certainly, and I love how at least for me it's purely about the playing again instead of making CC/taking previews/downloading too much content. Yet, after the first wave of excitement cooled down, I was happy to return to my TS2 :) And now, I keep TS3 installed and have no intention of removing it, but I haven't played for months. I even bought and installed the second EP, but haven't even tested it :D But enough about me me me ranting, I definitely want to see pictures of your game!

[esperesa]

:D! I hope you can slap them into submission!

I am almost loathe to admit it (because I was shaking my fist at all thing pudding before), but TS3 is growing on me. A bit. A little bit. I still feel like I'm playing TS2 with my hand tied behind my back, with the lack of animation boxes and such, and Create-a-Style is a bit overwhelming at first too, but it all has a certain charm. Argh, it's the Late Night promise of skyscrapers and penthouses and whatnot that seduced me!

Wow, those are beautiful pictures! Do you mind if I ask what computer, etc you use? Your graphics are amazing, so smooth and crisp! <3

Thank you! Hmm, my computer was pretty much DIYed from parts we still had laying around, but I do know my graphics card is a Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT. It's an older card but it works fantastic even with the newest games.

Cool, wish I had the skills to do that! :D

I love your stuff.
The windows, very gorgeous indeed.
May I ask where to get them?

How did you get the murals to appear in only the windows like that?
It's a trick that I'd love to find out how to do. :3

[esperesa]

Just build a wall one square behind the windows and put the murals on that wall. That's what's going on in that picture anyway, haha.
... Of course, in retrospect it would have been easier to put these on a painting mesh. Stubbornnn. XD

[vividhikari.livejournal.com]

Haha. xD I see. I guess that trick works best for screenshots and not actually playing in game. xDD Not like creators have much time to actually play right?

[esperesa]

Oh, I find regular gameplay too limiting, actually. I just use the engine to build and visualise the people and places in my brain. Like a dollhouse I guess. XD

[vividhikari.livejournal.com]

Me too. xD It's fun to make your OC's in game and take pretty pictures. xDD
Plus house cluttering is fun. *shot*
I'm just glad that you decided to stick with the Sims 2.
The Sims 3 is just so lame. D:
With like 1 GB of CC, it takes my game over an hour to load a family. DDDx
But now all the Sims 2 creators are becoming friends only or pay...like Cazy. T^T
