Blake I am here! I have been without internet for the last five weeks so I'm sorry this reply is so late! RL is taking over sims at the minute so I can't make any promises. I'm more likely to update my blog than this thread if I start to work on it again though...
1) Have you exported the world from CAW? File > Export from the top menu in CAW, if memory serves. Some people do share the .world file because then people who have a lower patch than you do can use it too, not too sure which .world file it would be, but I think it's the one from your Installed Worlds folder. 2) The whole…
Like Rflong said, I don't think you need intersections on the roads that are leading out of town. But I think EA have done it wrong on the roads in your Egypt picture, because a sim would get out of their car/moped and walk to the adjacent road then get back in their car and carry on driving wouldn't they? Rather than just…
Hey conor, I remember a while ago you were asking about possible ways to make the cooling tower and I said that the way I would do it would be to make a new mesh? :?: I know you said you weren't keen on CC but when I was looking over this thread this afternoon I had an urge to help you out a bit. :D So, Happy Christmas - I…
Okay, well some people at MTS take requests, go to this thread here: Sims 3 Creators who take requests Don't post your request in that thread, read through all of the posts that people have made and see if anyone is willing to do object meshing, I think some of them are. Then your PM someone who says they take object…
Yeah, IIRC the photoshop plugins should work with CS5 and I think they look much easier to install. Click on the current version link at the bottom of the page and then save the exe file somewhere (like your downloads folder or your desktop) then double click the file and it will install the plugins for you.
I don't know, I got the link off MTS for Gimp because I use Photoshop. With the photoshop one you just double clicked to install it. You'll have to read the instructions on the page with the download. If you follow the link given and then click on the downloads tab there is a file gimp-dds.pdf - try downloading that,…
I cannot think of anyway you can do the concave walls with a cheat. CFE won't let you alter the angle of walls on that axis (vertically) it will only alter horizontal angle i.e. floors. Possibly geo-blending (actually I'm not sure whether that would work) or sculpting the ground and some terrain paint? Or have you tried…
You need DDS plugins for which ever graphics program you're using. The photoshop ones are here: http://developer.nvidia.com/object/photoshop_dds_plugins.html Or, Gimp here: http://registry.gimp.org/node/70 Not sure about other programs though. You can recolour rabbit holes, bridges etc. Stw's thread about it here:…
Thank you. Not done too much work on this recently, I've been v. busy. @blackythelab96: I'm not too sure about the E.C. as an island though, I think it looks like there's too much water in the area. I dunno. @xmenchick05: The posts from Writin_Reg are from several weeks ago. :(
Awww, I'm sure it will be very cute when you've done! I make my height maps in Photoshop with a graphics tablet because I feel like I have much more control over the sculpting that way. Try smoothing the coastline so it's several big curves that drop off very gradually into the water. Also, when I'm stuck, I google…
Added some more pics from today. I think I'm going to re-do some of the Munckin Farmland north of the river to be more like the farmland that's now south of the river. Also, I'm not sure about what I've done so far with the Emerald City, there just seems to be so much water in the area now. I think I'm going to get rid of…
I've updated the Yellow Brick Road. I've used the corners from the Chinese Road Textures from WA and recoloured them yellow (obviously! lol) and added an Oz logo to them. What do you think?
Updated with four more pictures. Might be able to do a bit more later. I also have some news with regards the rabbit holes rugs. I was primarily intending to clone them because they would then be able to have more appropriate names (e.g. 🐸🐸🐸🐸 University was going to be the School, I know it doesn't make a huge amount of…
Writin_Reg, I would take a guess and say that the creator used non-default skins then and wrongly labelled them. I've *never* had a problem (or heard about a problem) with sims showing charcoal without the same dafaults as the creator. And thanks MATZ. Updates coming later.
I've added four new pics from today. I really like the colours from the France WA hood so I've changed a lot of the terrain paints to match. @Writin_Reg: I had absolutely no intention of using non-default skins anyway. So there won't be a problem with charcoal sims in my save game. If people don't have the default skins I…
Do you mean CS3? I'd thought that the problem with Ambitions was that something changed in the packaged file, the OBJD resource or something. Meaning that the update caused more problem than expected. I agree, I really don't want to have to update the world. This had crossed my mind, because I was planning on cloning them…
OT, but, if sims you download are going black it's because the creator used a non default skintone, and you don't have that installed, so they turn charcoal in game. If you change the colour dot of the skin it should fix it. My sims never require any CC, they will just look different in game. If it's a .sim file your…
Thanks guys. I was right, now I'm really excited. Should have made a thread sooner, maybe I'd have finished it by now. (Yeah, right!) drowssap, I did see google today. In fact, it was that which made me think I should do some work on it today! auntielynds, thanks, that yellow brick road is a path, but I'm not sure whether…
