September/October 2019 Summary 1

Forgot to make my summary post for September, so here it is! Also includes new info for this week instead of making a separate post.

I'd also like to take this time to give a HUGE welcome and thank you to my first 3 patrons. It means a lot that you believe in me and my work enough to support it. 💜 I hope you continue to enjoy my content!

I also moved the credits list to tier 1 as I felt that was probably best there, and I didn't like the idea of excluding tier 1 from credits. Hope that's alright!

Mods

Updates (if you missed them): 

• Stand Still in CAS now includes an updated Shooksims version and the Shimrod version has been merged into one file as it's actually base game compatible (go figure). Last update was yesterday, 10/03 to fix hissing children (if you aren't experiencing this then no need to update).

New (if you missed them):  

• No Fade On Everything is a new mod that removes all fading on EA objects that is currently in 
• Xhallie Custom Wrench Icon Update is an update of Xhallie's mod that comes in 3 new versions, one being my own idea.

In Progress: 

• Improved Mermaid Transformation - Back to working on this one and hopefully I can get this done finally. I've never worked with buffs before so this will be interesting, but with Flerb's and others help I have a vague idea of how to get this to work. If you missed the previous posts here's the sneak peak video of what I've accomplished so far: https://youtu.be/d2qhIF7eAGY  
• Publishing a mod dump that includes: No Autonomous View Aquarium, Unlimited Donations, No Photo Auras (Canceled as of 10/10 due to someone else completing their own version), the first version of Everyone Can Sunbath, and the Removed Occult Plumbob Ring I was discussing in my last post. Turns out it was super easy. Did you know plumbobs were objects? I didn't until I went looking, and we have like 5 different plumbobs for different situations. How odd! Also, thinking of making a second version of No Autonomous View Aquarium that will be similar to SnaggleFluster's Musical Autonomy mods by only having Child of the Ocean traits, etc. autonomously view aquariums. Sounds like a good idea to me, but we'll see!
• After the mod dump I actually don't have any small/simple mods left in my folder to release, the rest of my current list includes difficult mods (new skills, overhauls, etc.) and a few medium mods. A few people requested some updates to other abandoned mods so I'll be looking into them to see if I want to do so, and I have a few lists floating around with ideas that I need to revisit for what I'm working on next. If nothing on my lists currently interests me I'm going to get started on my massive pose conversion project. Yes, if you missed that post I have a way to convert poses and animations from S3 and Medieval! :D If you have ideas on what you'd like to see me convert first, post it below or message me.

And the mods below I'm still working on when I get the time: 

• Musical Autonomy Mods from Snaggle Fluster and CandyD's No Autonomous Romantic Serenade 
• Natural Metabolism (1 through 3) & Woohoo is Exercise by CandyD 

Tutorials

I am in the process of making my website and moving my tutorials there, and also because Photobucket decided to limit their free accounts bandwidth so I need to replace the photos. That's going to be a lot of work, and I'm thinking of focusing on my tutorials for a few weeks to get those needed updates in finally. I'm not sure, I'm still thinking on it. 

In other news, I have 2 small modding tutorials coming out. One is explaining how to extract animations and getting their names for Andrew's pose player, and possibly effects too. He went several months/patches without updating and people were getting a little crazy, so I'm going to explain how in case it happens again. I'm sure Andrew uses a script, but for us regular people I'll teach how to do it by hand. One of these days once I learn to script better I'll make my own lists/maybe release the script so we don't have to rely on him as much, as I'm sure he's seriously busy.

The other tutorial just explains how to update mods similar to Shooksims' Stand Still.

CC

I'm quickly reaching 200 followers on Tumblr! So in celebration I will release my first pose pack. What do you think the theme should be? I was thinking fashion/modeling poses.

Also, any ideas on mods/CC for Simblreen? Let me know down below, or message me! No promises that I'll be fast enough for Simblreen since I already have a large backlog, but I'll give it my best shot. ;)
