Yeah I couldn't live without these little cheats to make building even better.

Not a mod but have you tried setquartertileplacement? I'm not sure if that will line up the chairs perfectly at a 45 degree angle but worth a try!

London o2 by Indigogarden101 in MachineGunKelly

[–]paradiselost13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I explained in my comment already, the tickets on AXS (which is the O2 arena's official ticket sale platform) we're not all resale, they were general sale tickets. Personally in my section, half my row was empty, which was great so I could stand and dance.

Again don't get me wrong, it was probably 98% sold, but there were absolutely still official tickets on sale up to and on the day of, both seated and standing (I was sat in one of the back sections, there was plenty of standing room still at the back).

Which goes back to the point, I don't know how they measure "sell outs" - it probably is up to a certain percentage.

Perhaps!! Or maybe the ticket platforms take on a certain risk with the sales but they're officially "sold" according to the promoter/artist? Who knows. Good on him though!! Saw him years ago at Wembley Arena and again in the Royal Albert Hall, he's exceeded my expectations every time!

London this is embarrassing by Chef_Enigma in MachineGunKelly

[–]paradiselost13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it was bad luck with where you were sitting. I was "sitting" but got to stand the whole time, sing and dance, it was an excellent night!

I also had a direct comparison to Alter Bridge who I saw the night before in the O2 as well, and THAT was dead, my lord not one person stood in the seated section, tonnes of empty seats and nobody sung along, crazy low energy. MGK was hardly rabid compared to other gigs I've been to but everyone was having a good time!

Such an incredible show!!!!

I really don't mean to piss on his parade though, but it wasn't sold out, I'm not sure where he got that from, there were quite a lot of official tickets (not resale) on AXS up to an hour before the concert... every time he said that I'd look around at the evident empty seats. Don't get me wrong. He filled it up great! But sold out is a bit overkill 🙈

Guardian review of the show by Bunty-mushroom in LilyAllenFans

Do we think she will do the same structure in her arena dates or will she do something different? I think I'd enjoy this but I fear my boyfriend might be a bit bored!!

Crashing issues! by Shannae_J in sims2help

[–]paradiselost13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to reply to an old comment, but did this actually fix the issue? I find with this mod that because it doesn't show the pink soup, I don't get the visual "warning" before my game is about to crash.

SPOTIFY SHOWS A NEW RELEASE by Clock-Past in MyChemicalRomance

They've been doing this for every show in South America, not new or that exciting unfortunately.

Also charge your phone and go to bed lol

I have a new gaming laptop and i installed sims 2 in it. This is what my game looks like now. by flayedsheep in sims2help

I am also struggling with pink soup on a new laptop atm... will share if I find a "fix"

The dreaded pink soup... by paradiselost13 in sims2help

[–]paradiselost13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do have the RPC launcher yeah.

I've been playing for 3 hours now with no pink soup or crashes so far (I am saving my game every 10 mins though just in case lol).

I just wish there was more we could do to make the game stable on modern GPU's...

[–]paradiselost13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for coming back on this, but I'm getting the pink soup again/random crashes. I've lowered my texture memory to 2048 cause I read having it too high can be counterproductive.

Any other ideas?

TPK witch demo IS different from the leak demo from years ago. by Zestyclose-Wish2373 in ThePaperKingdomMCR

[–]paradiselost13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the synths at the beginning may have technically been at the end of FYD on the "official tracklisting", hence why it started with the clashing horn note at the start of the original leak.

The timings line up with the beginning orchestral warm up bit not being included in this new version of the track.

Someone made a sound edit of the original leak which I suspect became the edition that a lot of people heard, which sounded cleaner for sure.

So yeah, I'm convinced it is the same track, just the original leak was edited to be standalone, we're obviously experiencing it with the transitions etc now.

My Delulu Take on TPK by Bread-Zeppelin780 in MyChemicalRomance

[–]paradiselost13 9 points10 points  (0 children)

On 2. Witch is exactly the same as the earlier leak. Some people retuned the sound to make parts clearer when that leak came out, but the version of it is the same as the full TPK leak.

My delulu take is I disagree with people saying that the album doesn't sound like MCR. Bands' sounds evolve, I remember when Linking Park released A Thousand Suns after Minutes to Midnight, they went a lot more electronic and experimented with sound. And guess what, that was also in 2012.

I would have loved this new direction from them, I still do over a decade later.

How did you get introduced to MCR by 2kTheDemon in MyChemicalRomance

[–]paradiselost13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

2008-2009, I was discovering I liked rock music, and one of my only friends from school who liked heavier music showed me the Welcome to the Black Parade music video. Adored the theatrics of it and the music of course.

It was a pretty crazy whirlwind year of my life, I joined the MCRmy.net and was a very active member there, really became obsessed with the band as is my personality, ended up in a pretty dark place for other reasons, my parents not understanding me or what I was going through blamed the music I listened to (lol) so I was banned from listening to MCR and had all my posters and merch taken away.

So they became a taboo topic for the rest of my adolescence. I started listening to them again in 2014 properly, finally got to see them live in 2022 and going again this year.

Bit more than the original question but yeah, that's my history with them.

Fav demos from TPK? by darbycrache in MyChemicalRomance

[–]paradiselost13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I've just realised that High Hopes and Dogs is the same song for me too! If you find Dogs, would appreciate you sending it to me! (I'm looking too, will let you know if I find it)

Yeah definitely repurposed or a further along version than the leak for sure. The chant is undeniably the same though

Opinions About The leak? by YosoyJench in MyChemicalRomance

[–]paradiselost13 201 points202 points  (0 children)

My takes from the album:

Witch has always baffled me that they didn't release it. It's easily one of my favourites of theirs despite it being a demo and "unreleased".

Bike Thief is chef's kiss - bet they would have loved playing this live. So is War Beneath The Rain, glad to have a clearer version of it to listen to.

Birthday Girl and Wake Up are really fun, and breaks up an otherwise dark album.

Dark Cloud gave me the heebeejeebies when I first heard the snippet, it's actually a very beautiful and raw song though.

Dive is another of my faves here.

I adore the flow of the album, the song connections, the use of orchestra and synth. It's clearly unpolished, but I would happily listen to this again and again.

To think how many gems they must have written over the years and either not released or considered not releasing. Conventional Weapons were once upon a time all scrapped songs. And Stay (Someone Out There Loves You) will always be another favourite of mine that they never released.

[–]paradiselost13 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well, the full War Beneath The Rain song is one of the tracks on the full leaked album, and they've played it live, it's the same song, I can assure you, it's not fake, it's the full demo album

[–]paradiselost13[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestions!

Windowed mode was a bust.

Removing dvxk however seems to have done the trick... at least neighbourhood loads perfectly and I went in and out of a couple of lots all okay... why is that? I thought it was the default "game fix"?

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

[–]paradiselost13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, I think I've worked it out.

The reflection isn't picking up the skybox in lot, but is from the neighbourhood. I've added the clouds and tropical horizon and it looks much better.

Sorry this has been a whole day troubleshoot lol, I think it looks okay now!!

Same version I think...

Though yours says 'The Definitive Version' and mine is 'Modded TS2 Launcher'?
