Working hard :)
I had a free day yesterday and I spent the better part of it preparing a new set and carefully testing each item one by one. First by opening the package in TSRW to make sure all textures are showing up as they should. Second, placing it in the Mods folder of a vanilla game (no other cc running), placing the item on a lot and running the game for a few minutes. The creation software allows you to select if the object, for instance, is one of the things that a sim with the "insane" trait will talk to when having one of their special moments. This is a good time to make sure that's working as it should as well.
I've also been reading and trying to learn about other things I want to try. I started another project with some framed prints, but I realized that I want to be able to remove the shine from the "glass" in the framed wall decor, because it totally takes away from whatever you've put inside the frame, depending on what it is. I made 5 swatches last night, but when I saw how it looked in game I knew I had to find a tutorial tonight on how to remove that shine. I'm looking forward to it :)
Thank you all for your nice comments on my recolors. It makes me so happy to be able to share with you, and over the moon that you're enjoying them! I will keep trying to improve and learn. Have a wonderful day, everyone! And happy Simming!
