The two main characters, Louise De Vannois and François-Augustin De Jarjayes.

I understand why French people don’t like sims 2 stories at all, those sims are not beautiful, and there’s no sliders for the body. The graphics in ths sims 3 are better, and with the sliders, the sims look  better.

The neighbourhood are not beautiful without a ton of CC.

French simmers don’t write and read  sims 2 stories in french anymore ( alas ).

I don’t know how to create sims in sims 2  I’ve been told they’re very ugly.#

PHOTOSHOP GRADIENT BASICS TUTORIAL

This was highly requested so here it is, finally! There are 3 parts
to this tutorial. You can just read one part at a time or conquer it all
at once 🙂

Step 1. Start with a cutout sim with a transparent background. Now go to the top and choose Layer>>New Fill Layer>>Gradient. Click OK once when the window pops up.

Step 2. Now you should see this window. Double click the gradient so we can change the colors.

Step 3. Change the color of the gradient by clicking the Stops
(little tabs). You can change the opacity by clicking the upper stop,
and you change the color by clicking the lower stop. You can click
anywhere to add more stops (colors). I went with just two subtle colors.
Click OK when finished.

Step 4. Choose your Gradient Style, I chose radial. You
can actually move the gradient around by clicking and dragging it, I
moved it up to the right a little bit. Click OK when finished.

Step 5. Finally move this layer below you sim and you now have a
gradient background! You can always adjust the gradient by double
clicking the little gradient icon.

Step 1. Go to the top bar and select Layer>>New>>Layer. Drag this layer so it is between your background and sim. Now click the Rectangle tool. (make sure “fill pixels” is selected at the top)

Click and drag to create a rectangle behind your sim, it doesn’t matter what color it is.

Step 2. Now click on “Fx” at the bottom of the layers window and select Gradient Overlay.

Step 3. Click on the gradient to change the colors. I did 3 colors this time and changed the style to Linear. I kept the angle at -90′, but you can play around with that. Then click OK.

Step 4. To create a border go to the top bar and choose Select>>Load Selection. Click OK. Now choose Select>>Modify>>Contract. I chose 50px, now click OK. Then hit delete on your keyboard to delete the middle section.

Step 1. Create another new layer and drag it to the top. Now click on the Gradient Tool.
I used the two colors #b8aaa1 and #ffffff. Next to the gradient at the
top you will see the gradient styles. I just kept the first one which is
linear.

Step 2. Click and drag to apply the gradient. You can drag in
any direction and the length of the drag can vary. Then set this layer
to Soft Light to give it a softer effect. You can play around with the colors of the gradient and the blend mode of the gradient.

These are just some basics. My best advice to to play around with the gradients and experiment with the different options 🙂

I found three versions of a story written by me. That story takes place in the medieval age. The first version takes place in the 9th century, the second one takes place in the 11th century, the third one ( illustrated by a former friend) in the 13th century. Some characters have weird name, but the name of the vilain is always the same; Marcien D’Abliac. There are some differences in the storytelling, each story has a different ending.

There’s also a fanfic version based upon a German tv serie.

I found the fanfic version posted in a old forum.

This story has two ending

A  very short and sad one, both Lisa, the rich heiress and the one she loves, David the poor serf die, and Richard, the cruel one ( worse than the one in the tv show  ) is alive.

A little longer and happier one: Lisa and David go to Brittany and raise their two kids,  and twenty years later , they come back to Germany with their fully grown kids, Frédéric  and  Hannah. 

Richard got married to a cruel woman like him, they hate each other and kill each other. They die without kids, Richard is sterile  ( in the tv show too) and it’s better like this because Richard has sex with a ton of women.

I’ll use the sims 3 for this story, I found a nice world for it and some nice items.

I need more clothes, especially for the nobles sims, I have a  very very few of them  for  ya/adult  female  and none of them for the kids and the others ages.

I need them, even if will be a short story.

( cf my post  “wcif medieval …..”)

And I found some others versions of this story.

I have some new ideas for this story ( this story will be a bit different of the others versions ).

The problem is the title, the original title, “Forbidden love” does not match with that new version.

I downloaded and installed this world, but some parts don’t look medieval at all, then, I’m not sure I’ll use it as my main world for my story.  

http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/717032/cotes-dambonnay-a-french-medieval-world-on-the-exchange-featured/p1

Not sure at all to write it.

I wanted to make a conversion sims 2/sims 3 ( the deco sims ) but I have a big problem with simpe, there’s no GMDC plugin ( with my laptop the GMDC plugin is back, but I have some error messages.

I can’t create these deco sims with blender, python, S30C S3PE, TSR workshop, photoshop., I’m not good at drawing at all with a pencil, then  I’m worse with a mouse.

I’m inferior because I went in a vocational school, the worst vocational school of my country ( a vocational school for the worst ones ) in a sector of study I hate ( with  mostly  sciences, maths, vocational subjects,  my worst nightmare….And not a lot of French language and Foreign language…and even those subjects weren’t very interesting because they were related to my awful sector of study, and the level was very low….unlike maths/sciences ).

I was told my sims are the ugliest ones and I don’t have my place in the community

I’m sure they’ll insult me :  http://simsecret.livejournal.com/

After what I read in a poll, Iknow noboby will like that story.

I might not write it because I tried to create some stuff I need but it didn’t work.

My game crashes all the time ( and I have a very powerful PC ) then I might not write this story. I won’t use the sims 4 because I don’t really like the graphics and I don’t like the CAS in this game, not a lot of medieval content. I won’t use the sims 2 because I don’t have medieval CC and don’t want to download more, there’s no medieval town ( I won’t create one because it’s difficult and I don’t like building houses, and I need at least 3 differents towns.

Nobody reads sims 2  story in France.

Why so much hatred against that “non written yet story” ? 

Other problem, my sims don’t match with the standards of storytelling.

ladyrosedeversailles:

She might look like this, but I’m still not happy with her look, I don’t think she matches with the storytelling and the standards of storytelling,  my main character have to be a very beautiful girl and not  an ugly one.

There’s something wrong with her (I mean the teen version ) but I cannot figure out what, I’m too stupid for that.

Here’s a little tutorial to show a basic editing style to make your screenshots soft and defined 😉

Sorry I only have photoshop in italian x)

You’ll need Photoshop (I use CS5) and Topaz Clean plugin.

1- Crop your picture 1050px width x 1750px height

2- Open the Filters > Liquify (Maiusc+Control+X) and try to make all sharp edges more rounded and smoother. Like on the neck and the mouth.

3- Go again to Filters > Topaz Clean. I use these settings:

4-Then use the Smudge Tool, intensity set to 10% to smooth skin and the edges. Also use the Blur Tool with 40% intensity to blur the hair around and the neck.

5- Now use the Sharpen Tool, intensity 50% to make the eyes,lips,nose and skin details more defined.

6- I generally use this technique to add some shadows:

Make a New layer, pick the Brush Tool, diameter around 20-25 px and hardness 0%, color BLACK #000000.

On this level draw lines and curves where you like some shadows.

7- Now go to Filters > Blur > Gaussian Blur and set Radius around 25 pixels.

Once you did this, put the layer on Multiply with 40% Opacity.

8- To make the screenshot more interesting you can make a sort of “Vignette” around the face/body.

I use the Gradient Tool on a new layer Put it Black to transparent and then drag it in a circular way around your sim.

9- Again go to Fitlers > Blur > Gaussian Blur, radius 125 px. And then set this layer to Multiply, opacity 30-40 %.

Here’s the final picture!

Hope you like it! 🙂

General Picture taking Tips for The Sims 3

kosmokhaos:

So I thought I would publish this as well as add it to my Resource/FAQ Page. I know that there are people who are new to the sims and would like to take better pictures. Whether you want to take pictures for regular game-play, stories or editing, these tips and mods can help you.

THIS FACT SHEET IS NOT ABOUT EDITING, IT IS ABOUT TAKING PICTURES

* * *

First a bit of advice

  1. When you take pictures in the sims it’s better that you DO NOT stretch them. They will lose quality. If you want to make them smaller, cropping the picture is better than shrinking it in size. Shrinking and stretching usually makes the picture distorted.
  2. Take some in-game pictures of your sim! Uploading pictures that are taken off your computer screen with a digital camera, cellphone or any other camera that isn’t on your computer will result in blurry and often low quality pictures. Even if your graphics are not top quality, that is not a problem. Not everyone has a super hi-powered graphics card to produce super HD pictures.

 If you are REALLY new to this and do not know how to get in-game pictures of your sims then follow these simple steps:

  • When in-game, press the letter “C” on your keyboard to snap a picture
  • After you are finished taking all your pictures just take them from the “screenshots” folder which can be found in My Documents under Electronic Arts.

Taking The Pictures

  • Basic in-game camera controls (on your keyboard) 

    Take A Snapshot :: [C]
    Move Left/Right :: [←] / [→] and [A] / [D]
    Move Forward/Backward :: [↑] / [↓] and [W] / [S]
    Move Faster :: [Shift] + [←] / [→] / [↑] / [↓] or [Shift] + [A] / [D] / [W] / [S]
    Zoom In/Out :: [Z] / [X] or [+] / [-]
    Rotate Left / Right :: [,] / [.]
    Enable Movie Making Mode (VERY USEFUL WHEN TAKING PICTURES) :: [TAB]

    Movie Making Mode
    Lower/Raise Camera Height :: [Q] / [E]
    Roll Camera Counterclockwise/Clockwise :: [Shift] + [A] / [Shift] + [D]
    Level Out The Camera Roll :: [Shift] + [S]

Don’t ever hesitate. Reblog this. TUMBLR RULE. When you see it, REBLOG IT.

Cause if i can help someone atleast I won’t have died in vain

This is so important, you all don’t even understand. 

If you are reading this and feel like no on is on your side, I am. I will always be on your side. I will not be against you. I will stand by you. 

Because your life fucking matters. Don’t you dare think it doesn’t. 

This building will be Agnès and Joaquin’s house ( not finished yet ) I know it’s ugly, but Agnès is my main character for the next generation, then she’ll inherit the main house after her mother’s death. The towns in sims 4 are too small and not customizable.
