Hi there! Could you perhaps tell me where to find some things in your excellent Curious house makeover? (1) Greenhouse roof (2) Dry-erase board (3) Glass block windows and doors (4) In-wall fans, especially the big one in the yellow attic wall.

hey!

decorative conservatory roof pieces are part of the Feverfew release by Criquette. they pull textures from the Seasons greenhouse roofs, i'm using these defaults by shastakiss

the whiteboard is a 3t2 conversion by Veranka

the chalkboard is a Castaway conversion and i don't remember where I got it exactly, but this upload of Castaway items by meetmetotheriver seems to be the most recent

i hope those are the windows/doors you were referring to? they're actually shoji-like! i got them from shastakiss with recolors, here

the big industrial fan is by Cyclonesue

got those smaller fans from PineappleForest + more recolors here :)

2 Cover Up Road’s living room. had to snatch that pizza slice out of Lazlo’s hands

Dunder Mifflin this is Pam

random edit. decided to give clay hairs a try (this one is here btw)

might as well share this preset ↓

NightBokeh.ini

download: SFS or GDrive

[made with ReShade 4.9.1]

NightBokeh.ini has two types of DOF – CinematicDOF and ADOF.

CinematicDOF creates elliptical bokeh, ADOF creates hexagonal bokeh, and there are some other differences between them too. choose the one you like more, not sure how they look together. ADOF is disabled by default.

also, the effects highlighted in green might get doubled (if you have every available shader installed); if that happens – disable the second instance of each of these (cuz the effects will look too strong).

psst, if you're looking for my other presets i've shared before ("CityPortrait.ini" and "DesertHood.ini"), they're here (SFS) or here (GDrive).

out there... there's something evil, in the trenches, feeding on the drought

some inconsistent images of The Curious Hill. inspired by this observatory (pics: 1, 2)

the house went through SO many transformations... i really wanted to keep at least one tower, but it looked bad in hood view, so i swapped it out for an unrealistically planted tree to simulate that feeling of height. what kind of style this is? no idea. ts2 brutalism? or just a bunch of boxes. as i tried to make the area look similar to that observatory, i wanted the actual lot to blend in with the hood deco, while still looking as absurd as the original house. those improved lot impostors available with RPC are such a blessing! (even if the pic is still retouched lol)

bonus close-up:

objects dwell in rooms, nothing new

i did buy a new laptop finally and i'm playing the evil corporate game, but i did install ts2 as well and everything works fine (aside from UI not scaling properly on this laptop's resolution)

athough i did have to spend several hours solving a CC issue that was caused by me having folders with names such as "please sort this" in my Downloads lol

loaded the game with a nearly empty downloads folder to test something but got distracted and made this :/

at least in this case i can quickly list all the content used (bc it's great and why not!) ↓

neon mug & vertical neons

fallout 4 walls & floors

brick walls, cornices, window

wine bottle

paper grocery bag

thank you~♡

so...

i've been thinking about getting a new, more or less powerful laptop/PC that could handle modern games (at least some of them), but also TS2 with 12 gigabytes of CC ofc lol. i would also want to use it for video/audio editing as well.

could anyone recommend something? or just tell me what kind of laptops/PCs you guys have, i'm just curious 😶

(goes without saying that my budget is limited haha. most recommended laptops i've seen online have been around €2k, which is definitely too much for me. and idk where to even start when it comes to building my own PC...)
