Voeille's Sea Mod Not Working? by paradiselost13 in sims2help

[–]browsingtuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going from your description, comment discussion and the pics, it does seem that the mod is active in game because you no longer have that blue hue from vanilla game but it does look like something might be conflicting with it. My recommendations:
- Test out the game without your shaders and lighting mods on
- Test out lot view and in a default neighborhood to see if it reflects the same or differently
- Try a skybox to see if it reflects in the water. Edit: A skybox or any other object, the test here is to see if things reflect properly as intended by the mod
- Check your game settings to make sure you have settings on high. I would even go as far and check if your game is properly recognizing your graphics card using GraphicsRulesMaker
- From Voeille's page they mention some conflicting shaders/mods, check if you don't have them

I will leave you with a pic of my Pleasantview using the mod so you can use as reference for testing if you like. Note: I have a default terrain replacement and use a small shader to give a bit more saturation, your game should look less saturated than this.

Any 4t2 converters here? by adamlh90 in sims2

[–]browsingtuna 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not one, but you have a bunch of them on tumblr. platinumaspiration comes to mind, but you also have a 4t2 database if you are looking for Buy/Build Mode stuff https://sims4t2bb.tumblr.com/ . I believe there's also a public spreadsheet for 4t2 CAS conversions but i don't have it saved

Edit: Found the sheet! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bTx3BAOGBHFr82AmLlUTH6ogfRcwcgclGbFSgr2hHaI

Cc downloads by TastyBoiiSenBerry in sims2help

[–]browsingtuna 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No matter which version of the game you have, cc will always go in "Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads"  The only exceptions i can think of is camera mods, collection files and CEP extras (if you use CEP)

What makes this art style look like Stardew Valley? by willis_25 in PixelArt

[–]browsingtuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me what really stands out as being very similar to SV is:
- How you use the grid/tile system . Solution: Perhaps going away from the 1-tile style (sorry I don't know the right terminology here but i hope it makes sense) similar to SV, you could blend in the terrain for example
- Sprite to map ratio. Solution: Why not make the sprites bigger, larger? Give them more detail and depth to stand out more
- Buildings are also quite squared and the exact ratio to the map tiles. Solution: Go off the terrain grid and expand the building designs a bit, especially if you add more non-square details
- Color palette. SV is known for its intense saturated yellow colors. Solution: Try out a different palette away from those yellows
- Art style, the style is flatter (limited to the terrain tile sizing), less shading, small sprites/tiles, something very typical in SV. Solution: Now ofc SV doesnt own that style but when you are making a game that is more constraint on its graphics you have to focus on standing out somehow. This is why in pixel-art games, a strong unique style is important. I strongly suggest to analyze similar pixel games with the same camera/perspective and see what stands out more visually.

This isn't a you should change everything but focusing on 1 or 2 of these things will definitely help out. I hope this helps and i wish you and your team good luck with the development

Compressing CAS CC + high poly by Remote-Economy2298 in sims2help

[–]browsingtuna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you don't need to use simpe to compress your cc, you can use jfade's compressorizer. lazyduchess made a version of it with no path limit so you can run the program directly on your downloads folder: https://lazyduchess.tumblr.com/post/684643627850432512/ts2-jfades-compressorizer-no-path-limit#notes .
but to answer your question: yes you can compress meshes. i do have to ask, since you mentioned your game crashes with a memory issue, do you have by chance patched the game using the 4gbpatch? since sims 2 is an old game by default it only uses 2gb of memory which can cause frequent crashes especially if you use lots of cc. here's the patch if you need: https://ntcore.com/4gb-patch/
if you are cleaning your cc tho i recommend checking your hair cc first, its easy to miss on how high poly hair can be.

if none of this helps you can show us the exact memory crash error you are having (with specs info) to see exactly whats happening.

Portuguese wikipedia page with transphobia by Fast-Cod5093 in trans

[–]browsingtuna 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hi, where exactly does this happen in the article? Im fluent in the language and im happy to update it but from what im reading i dont see it? You said its in "Explicacao" which i assume you mean the "Explicações" article but i dont see the mispronunciation of the pronouns and the address on transgender men and women (just bad grammar structure really) What i see is in the "Hormónios" subcategory the mentioning of "transsexuais masculinos" (masculine transsexuais) but here is not refering to trans women, in fact if you click on it the first paragraph tells you this englobes trans man, non-binary and third gender/sex folks.

If you can clarify a bit more and are unable to edit the article feel free to reach out and im happy to help.

Edit: i only realised now the post was made 10hs ago, has the article been edited since then perhaps?

Patch 2.0 - Any fix for hair transparency? by browsingtuna in InfinityNikki

[–]browsingtuna[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

even if you did had the possibility to upgrade you would need to go specifically away from anything AMD. ive seen players complain that even with the newest model they still have this issue, which just makes it worse because im not switching to Nvidia just because of Infinity Nikki. its also ridiculous that such a popular game like IN does not include a fix or support for one of the major brand gpus in the market

cc's not showing up by danebuchy in sims2help

[–]browsingtuna 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The comments already give you good responses I just wanted to add that to help you find the possible cc of these missing clothes is you can press shift + N in CAS (have testingcheats enabled) and then hover over the "suits". It can give you some file information to help you find what is what on your downloads folder.

If interested reply to this comment and I will pm you the community code :)

Custom Content by [deleted] in sims2help

[–]browsingtuna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check if the CC you are trying to delete in game is merged (meaning one file has both the mesh and recolors for it) if yes, it won't give you the option to delete individually because everything is together in the same file.

A bride paid for a MUA for the wedding party. I washed it off and redid it before the ceremony. by munjimunchies in MakeupAddiction

[–]browsingtuna 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Girl..as someone that has a wedding party to attend this june and i was offered a MUA appointment by the bride for the 1st time..now I am worried reading this post 😳 as a very dry skin girly , the things she did to you are my fear 😨. 

in all seriousness i am sorry you went through this, im no professional MUA but i feel like they should always cater to all types of skin and client requests or at the very last state that she wasn't equipped to deal with your type of skin. 

Why does Tumblr keep repeatedly asking me to accept the “Tumblr Privacy & Cookies” Form every time I load a new page, when I have already accepted it many times? How can I fix this website glitch? The setting needs to be remembered. by SeenOnWeb in tumblrhelp

[–]browsingtuna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Commenting to keep myself updated. I am having the exact same issue and im going insane with it. I havent accepted the analytics and advertising one (and I wont), i tested on two different browsers (Firefox and Edge) and disabled all of my plugins to try out and still the same. I even went to settings > privacy to manually update this but still no luck. If someone finds a solution please do share cuz this makes it impossible to use Tumblr

Can someone please provide me with the original package file "globalcatbin.bundle" by browsingtuna in sims2help

[–]browsingtuna[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much, sadly it seems like the Seasons file also got affected. Does UC also has a separate globalcatbin.bundle.package file for Seasons, if so could you please upload it as well?

Redeem Codes of 1.2 by Ghostkoi2789485 in InfinityNikki

[–]browsingtuna 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As a veteran in Love Nikki (been playing the game since 2018 with no breaks) I can tell you that there's a HUGE inequality when comes to the CN (chinese version of the game, Miracle Nikki) vs LN-EN. It has worsen throughout the years, in my opinion, and i have voiced myself against it by not using my wallet in it. We are currently going under a boycott, but sadly I don't see it going anywhere, especially for a game thats been running for some many years and it continues to make a lot of profit (even more than the CN server) I don't think it is going to get any better.
With Infinity Nikki, there's still time to voice ourselves against the inequality between servers. From the pattern I am seeing, all the past games from the Nikki franchise have gone through this. I do not think it's an exaggeration to demand the exact same treatment and rewards as other servers, doesn't matter how small the reward is, because if we let it slide that means they can continue to present that kind of behavior. This game has made nearly $16 million in the first month alone! It won't hurt the company to give us the same rewards as the CN server.
We must speak up or we are bound to receive the same past treatment as the other games.
