I am sure we can find some ideas for you to work on if you run out of them Leaning and realizing that you can do much better now is a good thing! Don't feel bad that you can look back and see what you can do better on a previous project provided you did the best you could at that time with what you knew.

Blocking US oil to be "green' is one thing. Nobody wants pollution in their backyard. Let's face it, getting oil and such does create a fair amount of pollution. (however, we still process the oil to gas and such once it enters the US.. which creates even more pollution than would be created getting oil from sources in the US) Besides, the more we can exploit another country by buying cheap oil from them (lowering their resource and protecting our own at the same time) is something I have no problem with The problem is reliance on outside oil.. mostly from countries that don't like the US. The US government (at least in the past) had a reserve of Oil etc. for problems that arise due to conflicts and such occurring to help protect the US economy. I don't know if they still have it, squandered it (likely) or sold it for a quick buck. In any case anyone with 2 brain cells should understand that reliance on other potentially hostile countries isn't a good thing. It is a very bad thing. Previously we had easy access to cheap oil with the current sources but that is low or depleted. 100% restrictions on alternate sources is a very bad thing. For the very reason we are experiencing now! The US doesn't want to get into a fight (directly) with Russia and I don't blame them, however, one of the main sources from what shoddy news reports I am able to get access to on this matter, indicate that Russia's main source of income is from Oil sales. Seems to me a no brainier to block those sales if the desire is to really put on a hurtlock on Russia. The solution could have been permissions to start preparations and maintenance of these protected areas but not let them fully operate. Just a fraction to keep things moving and help pay for the equipment and cost to setup. Then, have a quick executive order or whatever setup for the need, just as this, for access to the Oil... and even then to help maintain or cover the losses that will be occurring (expense). The second part of this process would be to remove the Federal tax (and perhaps help supplement the local taxes on gas etc) so that less is needed, the price goes up but much of it is covered by the removal of tax. The economy is protected, the gas companies have a source of oil to work (and make even more money off of since it should be cheaper to get local as oppose to outside oil when embargo's and such occur) Bottom line, heavy regulation (and steep fines for failure for environmental rules) along with heavily restricted quotas on what can be sold and when would have worked better at least from my understanding. However, I am not a expert on gas and oil distribution and sales. With a total block it would take a long time (from my understanding) to setup and start to obtain said oils from these "protected areas" having quick access when needed or an emergency would help IMO. While protecting our sources (when cheap oil is available) and allow more flexibility in putting a hurtlock on another country. What do I know? However at least I don't call Ukrainians, Iranians in a speech. Or treat the viewers of my speech like 5th graders, actually stupid 5th graders like the Vice President did. It is sad, it used to be that the best of the best would take office (at least in the advisory function) and now it seems like only those that can't be a success elsewhere gets those positions.

Holly crap... Biden called Ukraine people's Iranians? Crap, his speech is horrible.

That UFO has already been booked...

The difference is Iraq was funding, hosting individuals that were going around the world causing trouble.. Ukraine was minding their own business. Some say insanity is contagious. Perhaps she and Brandon need to wear a mask at all times to protect themselves from more insanity infecting them.

Is she going to start teaching the A,B,C's as well? Not only is something like that un-necessary (google or other sources if they are interested) that is condescending to most of the population. When giving a presentation you don't talk like that. On top of that. Her people should have realized that all that is doing is giving sound bytes for her opponents to use. Have you ever heard JFK speak like that? Or Obama? Do you hear other foreign leaders talking like that to the press?

From Australia A video that they played with Camila explaining the conflict in Eastern Europe. Frighting. Is this what we can get for the highest political office in the United States, often times stated as one of the most powerful countries in the world? It is like there is a game where those qualified say "not me". That or a contest where the most incompetent is the winner and the prize is the White House.

Sorry, I got the photos mixed up... and posted the larger quality ones. Here are some from a mod that is found on another site. It is a Bioshock FNV port. There are a few so I put them into a spoiler. (Also they are smaller so not to bomb you or anyone that cares to look) these are mostly intended to show off the various assets of the mod more so than to look great. But there they are.

Tried checking out the company and can't find any current status. Can't find any status of the employee/founders either. Perhaps, covid? Long shot I know. Likely they didn't get the support and recognition they wanted for the project and decided to discontinue. If the tools are available and fully functional or at least good enough, perhaps the community might step in and continue working on it. Adding to the game. Again, long shot. Shame. It looked good and looked like a company that might cater to those being disenfranchised by Bethesda

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1112620/Isles_of_Adalar/ It is on Steam.

This is such a cluster fuck.

Its been a bit... how is the progress on this project going?

A cheap easy way that many that have no imagination, evidence or proof of wrong doing use such insults as Nazis and racist and the like to try to win an argument. Then they get really pissed when you want to have a real discussion and get to the root of the issue and / or call their "evidence" wrong. A real quick easy way to get on my nerves and loose respect in my eyes.

Everybody is just bumbling around. Some, like Ladysmokes, is just doing better than others. I don't believe there is the same level of tutorial and info on modding Sims as found in Bethesda games that have modding components included. People have to fight through the process with trial and error and many of those that do succeed, have a very bad habit (from what I have been told) of not being willing to spread their knowledge they gained.

Added info.. especially when anyone sees her. Watch her blow a blood vessel... lol (once, and if she figures out why you are doing something so strange) I hate stupid people like that. As far as I am aware, nobody from those communities have mentioned that is a symbol that they use for communication. I wish people would stop trying to make meaning into something that it isn't. I am confident that if "Honk Honk" was short hand for anything in that area, with the world wide web and communications etc.. we'd know it shortly.

Well... Say "honk honk" lol

(it is a secret.... I used the same mods... lol. So of course it will look similar to Kendo.. however, if you look closer to his as compared to m ine.. you can see the difference (big difference lol) Once we start talking and showing off some skyrim I'll do the same. Don't want to bomb this thread with all my posts. lOL. I even have a Bioshock character in Fallout NV (Elizabeth) as a follower with some assets from Bioshock as well. Captures of course.

Fine, Fine, dammit.. .I'll post some of my photos.. gesh. LOL Not the best. These were from a previous computer which was configured with a 970. Back when I took screen captures for fun. First group is from Jessica. The last one is Sam. Sam didn't turn out quite how I wanted so then I went back to create Jessica. I have a lot of test photos from the time I had the 970 for Skyrim. To be posted later (maybe) where I went through the texture / mesh files and customized the quality depending on the size and use of the textures. L

I like your work. It is better than mine Also practice makes perfect... go get to practicing! lol

This is an excellent way to get the word out about his mods. I to used the mods and hadn't had any issues with it. (well none that weren't my own causing )

GREAT!... nobody on this site is clairvoyant. If you can't give basic info on what is going on then it might be best if you do delete whatever mod you are referencing and move on.

1. Stop posting new threads with useless information. 2. Post actual info that can be acted on. The who,what, where, why info. NOBODY WILL RESPOND AND HELP YOU UNLESS YOU ACTUALLY GIVE DETAILED INFO NECESSARY TO BEGIN TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.

@LadySmoks So she is taller than the rest (without the shoes) ? (from standard Sims models)

The one from oblivion looks great! Way better IMO than I remember. I guess the models texture replacements and such have come a long way! @LadySmoks It isn't mentioned in your OP but is discussing a mod list OK for this thread? For example in this case if someone wanted a list of mods that was used for the models above (including your post)?

I especially like the bottom photo.
