15 New Bulletin Boards For Your Sims

simgaroopI haven't been in the mood to post anything lately. Maybe it's the stress from all the Graduate School paperwork and things I need to do now (which seem 10 times more complicated when done from out of the US), but I've been in a very bad mood and get angry easily.
The good side is that this week I accepted the offer from the University of Texas at Austin. I was also accepted at the University of Georgia, but Austin was always my first choice. So, as for two days ago, I'm officially a student over there. I even got my student number. The bad side is that I have to embark in an endless oddissey of visa requirements, financial papers and who knows what else (plus looking for an apartment because everyone has told me that I'd have to be insane to move to a dorm as a graduate student), so my stomach is literally a knot right now.
Fortunately, I'm going back to work tomorrow, so I hope that the distraction of being with my little students will let me relax and improve my mood. I'm looking forward to that :) (my left hand, though, not so much. It's time to draw 1000000000 pokémons - "Reikazar" (sp? That's what the kids call it) in particular- a day again!
In the mean time, I've done some Sim deco as a distraction. It's currently in the moderation queue at ModTheSims 2 but what the heck, I'm impatient. So I'm gonna show it to my f-list for now.
These are all recolors of the "Stick em Up" Bulletin Board from the University EP. I recently learned how to extract literally all the textures from the game, so I went a bit crazy and ended with tons of little pics and bits that I then organized into these neat bulletin boards.
This is also a bonus for my sister, who's jealous of my PC and its ability to play SPs like Teen Style Stuff (As some of you may know, she's a Mac User). She liked the posters, so I dissected them and included some of their pictures on the boards, so now she can decorate her dorms with the teen stuff.
I also made some new decals and magazine recolors in this same fashion, but I don't have the pictures ready yet. And some books, recolors of a mesh from Aikea Guinea, that for some reason are not showing up. Oh well...

(Please excuse the Mediafire link, but I've just noticed that I'm currently at the 96% of my monthly bandwith at Box.net so I'm running out any moment. When did that happen?! O_o)
- Have a lovely night!

Date: 2009-04-20 03:57 am (UTC)I agree. Although I've used the regular boards way too much in all the time I've been playing the sims, I thought they'd be more useful if they were directed to more specific interests, just like the bulletin/ cork boards I've seen at my workplace or at my house, for example.
Oh... I know who's gonna use the Bella Goth board ;).
Well, I learned to extract the textures while I was trying to extract the coffee bag from the base game and the chocolate can from Seasons following this tutorial (http://www.digitalperversion.net/gardenofshadows/index.php?topic=5862.0).
For the textures, you only need to do steps 5, 6 and 7. Once I took a break from the ugly world of dealing with meshes, I extracted all the pictures I liked. And you're right, they have a lot of potential for pictures, clothing and much more!
Plus I discovered a couple amusing things while I was looking at the pictures, for example, that there are pictures of the Grunts (and I think the Smiths) on the bar of the hot dog stand from Apartment Life.
And that there's actually a conversation interaction regarding the "Birds and the trees" that I've never seen in my game:
Extracting the pictures is a bit boring, though. I'm currently uploading the ones I got to my mediafire folder in case my computer goes on strike (I'm so paranoid with computers I back up everything), and I was planning to share the link to those pics when they were done, anyway :).
