TS3 Advent 2012

[Annabel Lee]

Lovely stuff, io!  Thank you for sharing!

[Amaryll]

Thank you, guys, for everything.  

I have no idea why Mediafire found it necessary to block the link. I'll try to get up an alternative one as soon as possible, so far, however, there is a new link which hopefully will work for a while.

Also lovely stuff, everyone. But I alreadly told you that.  

EDIT: It's up.

Wow, thank you io, that skirt is just what I've been after!

Hatchet... Check!
Scalpel... Check!
Amputation saw... Check!

I have an overwhelming amount of things I want to convert from Fallout 3, so I thought I'd start with the hospital items.  A couple things had already been converted, so it seemed like the next logical step would be to go in and do the rest.  Let's jump right into this, shall we...




Operating table.  Found under Decorative - Misc for 242 simoleons.  Two recolorable areas, one overlay version.



IV Stand.  Found under Decorative - Misc for 142 simoleons.  One recolorable area, one overlay version.





Gurneys, one broken, one not.  Found under Decorative - Misc for 242 simoleons.  Each have two recolorable areas, one overlay version.



Hospital screen.  Found under Decorative - Misc for... I honestly can't remember.  It's in the low to mid 100s range.  One recolorable area, one overlay version.





Several surgical tools.  Found under Decorative - Misc for 242 simoleons.  Overlay only, non-recolorable.







Xrays.  Three different meshes because that's how they did it in Fallout 3.  Found under Decorative - Wall Hangings for 250 simoleons.  Frame is recolorable.

All meshes and overlay textures are from Fallout 3.  Do whatever you want with these as long as you keep them off paysites and don't claim you made them.  Enjoy!

It's time for war!
It's time for blood!
It's time for TEA!

December 17th!

Two things for you today -- a parted lip slider and FantasyRogue's alien spots by way of Petchy and Engram made all ages and with gradient color channels.

The spots work exactly as you see in the picture, which is the default color -- there color channels that fade into one another, for potential nifty effects -- or make all three channels the same color for no gradient. Simple!

It looks good on dark skins, too.

The parted lip slider was born of me really, really missing AlfredAskew's 'toothy' face template for TS2. Since in the three years since TS3 was released no one made a similar slider, I decided to take a stab at it.  Ir's more subtle, but it's pretty cute all the same! It also doesn't deform the lips too much during facial animations -- some big grins are a bit funnier looking than they would be otherwise, but other expressions aren't affected much or are just a bit more adorable. Check it out: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

Works for toddlers through elders and shows up under the lip sliders.

Thanks to Engram for the work of TS3izing the alien speckles that Petchy so carefully removed from FR's skins!

Thank you aikea-guinea for your lovely grunged up hospital gear, it's deliciously spooky and I'm sure I'll find a place for and also thank you Aquilegia for that toothy smile lip slider and dem alien spots, works well with a neighbour hood theme I've got going now that I have seasons<3

Sorry for the late question, and maybe someone asked that already, but. Fainiel is your hair's name reference to Agnes/Perdita from Pratchett's novel?

Aquilegia i thank you as well...I love those gradient aliem spots and the toothy smile slider. I just started using sliders, and must say this one made me chuckle so i had to grab it. Again, Thanks!

Hi there everyone! I have a whole bunch of stuff for you guys today - hopefully each of you will find something you like.

First up is some blind contacts/alien eyes. I originally wanted these because I was desperately missing having a good set of blind eyes, but they work well as alien eyes too, so there's that. Anyway, they're slightly translucent in the middle, so you can see your sim's original eye texture through it. It has two recolourable channels as well, so you can fade out colours or darken the sclera, whatever you want.

Next I have some accessory bras. For some reason it started irking me that my sims never have their bra straps showing, so now they can! They show up in the rings category, and there are five variations: three EA (lacy, normal, and one from the Diesel SP), and two by orange-sim (lacy and corset).

This is something I've been wanting to do for a while. I really liked this shoe mesh by ShojoAngel, but the weird logo thing and mask deterred me from using it, so I painted over the logo and redid the mask. I also desaturated the little gold buttons or clasps or whatever they are, so it'd be easier to combine colours. You also get this set in four variations: gold buttons with new mask, silver buttons with new mask, gold buttons with old mask, and silver buttons with old mask. I wanted to make it as versatile as possible, does it show? It's only for AM and AF at the moment because the teen meshes were being crappy and not cloning properly.

Once upon a time, I had some distressed gradient jeans which I adored in TS2. I missed them tons in TS3, so I remade them. I gradient'd two meshes: an EA BG mesh, and Aikea's awesome suspender mesh. The EA mesh comes with two clean recolours (one with a knee length gradient, other with upper thigh length), and two distressed recolours (dirt and bleach stained, both with thigh height gradient). The grunge overlays are both fully recolourable, so you can get a lot of cool results if you play with the colours. The Aikea mesh comes with just the gradient, and two variations of non-recolourable grunge (one is Aikea's original dirty yellow overlay, the other is a desaturated version).

Nova Baby | I Am Not A Robot | Lonely Boy

Now, this wouldn't be a Pyxis post without some space themed travel posters! So here they are, along with some other cool posters. This set is pretty big, so it's been split into three parts: Nova Baby (space travel posters), I Am Not A Robot (space themed propaganda posters), and Lonely Boy (lost city travel posters). Nova Baby comes on Aikea's Mondo poster mesh, and comes with 13 recolours, I Am Not a Robot comes with 4 distressed recolours on Aikea's shiftable wall writing mesh, and Lonely Boy comes with 5 distressed recolours on Aikea's wall writing mesh.

Here are some uber cool paintings by the similarly uber cool feverworm on tumblr, who graciously allowed me to use their art for this. There are 15 recolours in total, and they come on all 3 sizes of Tamo's travel poster mesh.

Swatch | Extra Preview

Finally (phew!), I've been missing my grungy textures, so I converted a bunch of L4D walls and floors to patterns. They're non-CAStable, and most show up in the rock/stone category, though there are a few under tiles/mosaic, and there's one wood texture. Some of them are not great for large spaces (textures start to visibly repeat), but most look nice wherever you put them. Make sure that you don't extract these into packages, they WILL cause the Materializing Materials glitch. Also, I named these like an idiot, so there's a handy labeled swatch for your downloading convenience.

DOWNLOAD

If you're so inclined, have a giant download with all of the gifts in one handy rar file.

Well, please tell me if anything is amiss (I feel as though I've made at least one mistake ), and happy holidays!

Pyxpyx I took everything. I love the patterns so much and the posters and paintings! Thank you!

Pyxis, I LOVE the jeans and the bras!
