Heya everyone! I've published part two of what I've been working on recently! (Hint: it's previewing the animations for different body shapes in blender)

(3/4) To disable this feature in Windows 11, go to System -> Display -> Graphics, then uncheck Optimizations for windowed games. The feature only seems to negatively affect the windowed modes from my testing.

2/4) To be technical, the feature aims to reduce the latency (delay) if you play in Windowed mode, but it also somehow ruins visual smoothness. Here's the above comparison in full speed.

(1/4) I realized what's causing The Sims 4 to be pretty laggy even when the game says it's running above 60 fps.

It's a feature called "Optimizations for windowed games in Windows 11". Here's a comparison of it in slow mo.

Notice how less jumpy the camera is with it disabled.

Better Abs is out now for early access! It's an automatic slider in Live Mode that makes your male sim's abs more defined. Check the link below.

What a cursed looking logo combination.

animating walking is hard!

A key thing I notice I keep forgetting to pose when making walkstyles is the rotation from the toe bone.

The old version on the left without it looks way more strange right?

It's interesting that one of the few things TS4 kept from TS3 is the swaying (if that's the right word?) motion for the romantic anims.

Found this old animation sitting in my gifs folder.

I think they updated the credits list for the rerelease!

aaaaaaaaaaaaa

Hiya, we've updated Color Sliders textures packages for the 1.111 patch and the Life and Death EP.😃

Only the package files on the Google Drive were updated.

Making some anims. This is based on the same reference footage but animated differently. Which version do you prefer?

Practicing making walking anims, haven't done so in a while.

I am quite surprised to see that Life and Death didn't add the Daredevil trait from TS3. It'd be interesting to see a sim who's personality is doing stupidly risky stuff just because "it looks cool"

Animation by me.

Still working on custom worlds for The Sims 4.

I am currently working on getting custom terrain to work properly in game. I've made some progress so far.😃

(Note that right now I'm still writing the tools for getting pathfinding working. The sims are still floating way underneath)

This random screenshot from 2020 shows off some very early work Mizzie and I did on custom terrains.

We were investigating how to make cutouts in the terrain mesh. This specific screenshot shows a failed workaround.
