Happy May Day everyone! I've finished updating some more files for you! This month's theme is ✧･ﾟcollections ･ﾟ✧. I have updated the following files from AKSOR3b to AKSOR4:

HW's Bespoke Build Set (and re-titled the files): https://aliksims.tumblr.com/post/184374987797/

Pheonix Phaerie's Modern Georgia Manor Build Set: https://aliksims.tumblr.com/post/674663261705224192/

BuggyBooz's Kitchen Basic Counter: http://aliksims.tumblr.com/post/181207397599/

AND the rest of the Kitchen Basic Recolors: https://aliksims.tumblr.com/post/636703159783473152/

And finally, the "Paint with Crown, Kick, and Chair Moulding/Framed Wainscoting/Gingham Schmingham" walls: https://aliksims.tumblr.com/post/645759064660443136/

It's a short list with a LOT of included recolors this month! ;;;;>.< Next month is AliKSims Birthday Month, so I've decided to have a month-long throwback to the roots of this blog. No aksor3b->aksor4 updates until July, but you can anticipate a new upload every Monday for the whole month of June! ^^b

Take care of yourselves! I love you! <3 <3 <3 <3

And last but certainly not least...

I also updated my Google Hair docs so everything should be mostly organized on there now. I still need to do the furniture ones but I am definitely going to put that off a little longer. ;;;>____>

Anyway! That's it from me for this month! Thank you to everyone who has been enjoying my content! It gives me all sorts of warm and fuzzy feelings. >.< Please tell me if anything is broken, I try to check but some stuff still slips through from time to time. ;;^^

I hope you all are having a great April, or at least are finding beautiful things to admire around you! Talk to you again in a few weeks! >.</

I had a bit of extra free time, so I got these next few updated recolors done a bit quicker. >.< The only thing that’s different is that I’ve added an extra option for the Discourse Dining Table and the Piano so you can have both variations of the available recolors in one package instead of two.

. . . Hello? I am actually still alive. However, I think I might be disowning the Simple Tub recolors because for some reason they won’t compress? -.- Oh well, I’m going to upload them such as they are and circle back to them later. Sorry the files are so big!

On a completely different note... remember all those recolors I’ve already done? In the process of fighting with the Simple Tub (the plain recolors now have a new base), I decided to slightly alter the color actions for Covey, Burble, and Fiery. You probably won’t notice except on the walls, but I have updated all the AKSOR4 recolors I already uploaded, so feel free to go back and re-download... whatever I linked in the last few State of the Blogs.

The newly updated recolors as of May 6, 2023:

Simple Tub (updated base for the plain tub, SLIGHTLY updated dirty state): https://aliksims.tumblr.com/post/626461946417446912/

Sewage Brothers Resteze Toilet (updated base and dirty state): http://aliksims.tumblr.com/post/181564115298/

The St. Ajoque Mirror (I’ve updated the mesh from what was seen in the previews): https://aliksims.tumblr.com/post/680004746681122816/

“Base Game Textured” Bedding (aka: the off-white bedding):  https://aliksims.tumblr.com/post/707912372045692928/

Luxuriare Loveseat: https://aliksims.tumblr.com/post/184858116688/

Sofa of Substance: https://aliksims.tumblr.com/post/185505456342/

I’m working on finishing the Zecutime Cityside Loveseat/Sofa recolors, but that may not happen by the time this goes live; I’ll update here when those are uploaded. Those also have an updated base.

As of 5/8/2023, the Zecutime Cityside Loveseat/Sofa recolors are also finished: http://aliksims.tumblr.com/post/180324644700/

Ok! That’s it for now! See you... in some undetermined amount of time for the next batch of updates! Take care of yourselves out there! I hope you are having a beautiful Spring or Fall wherever you are! <3

Happy end-of-November everyone! (Happy Thanksgiving if you celebrate such things at this time of year.)

I managed to recolor ALMOST all of my previous overtly Christmasy-season-themed recolors. I didn't recolor the lights. Sorry, they looked like they would take too long and I wanted to move on to other things. ;;>.>

Also! I spent the last... three months-ish finishing the renaming process for all the old files, so that's another massive part of this updating project done. Hooray! ;;;>.<

Also also! I have presents! For December! To be released on the 4th, 8th, 11th, 15th, 18th, 22nd, and 25th.

I am... actually still working on the last present, so I'm not yet sure (a) how much present will be coming on the 25th and (b) whether I will then have enough time to do anything for New Years like normal. We'll see how the time goes. I'll let you know on the 25th for sure.

Until then, wishing all you and yours good health, safety, and happiness. Please take care of yourselves! You are valid, and I love you all very much!

This is another project that I have picked up and then put right back down again for... years at this point, so it seems like an appropriate send-off for now. Good thing I’m going on hiatus so I actually got it done! >.>

So! The plain type of bedding still comes in all 111 colors of the AKS Object Rainbow 3b (1). I own exactly none of them. To see what exactly all these colors are, where they are from, and who exactly were the talented artists that created them, please go here (2). (The color files are individually labeled with their original creator, palette, and name, but like usual I’ve probably mangled them beyond recognition by abbreviating everything.)

HOWEVER, as of 5/6/2023, the textured bedding now comes in all 110 colors of the AKS Object Rainbow 4 (3)! The colors/actions that have been borrowed from the talented artists that created them are thusly labeled in the color names and the accompanying "AKSOR4ObjRnbw4ColorSIs" document. (The color files are individually labeled with their original creator, palette, and name, but it's all abbreviated so check the document to fill in the missing letters.)

If you would like all 111 PLAIN recolors individually packaged, you can download them here: http://simfil.es/3455764/

OR

If you would like all 111 PLAIN recolors in 1 package, you can download them here: http://simfil.es/3455765/

AND

If you would like all 110 TEXTURED recolors individually packaged, you can download them here: http://simfil.es/3561471/

OR

If you would like all 110 TEXTURED recolors in 1 package, you can download them here: http://simfil.es/3561472/

The preview pictures, swatches, and color info are included with both downloads. I own nothing so you can’t sell it. :)

P.S.- This is what I’m going to be picking away at for the next year. I’m about 1/3 of the way done with picking colors I think. Yes, all of the new colors featured were made by me. No, the new palette won’t be 100% original (though it is shaping up to be ~90% new color actions so I guess we’ll see). No, I won’t be giving any more updates on this project until I’m completely done picking at it and testing it. This is just an alert to let people know that this will be happening. Probably in December. Holiday object recolors will definitely use this.

Why so long? Well I want to wait to post the final palette until I’m mostly done updating object recolors on my end. (Yes, I will post my finalized set of Photoshop Color Actions at that time.) When I put up the final Palette Post, I’ll give you all a start date for when I will begin to replace the old AKSOR3b files with the new recolors.

Unfortunately, you won’t be able to have both the old AKSOR3b recolors AND the new AKSOR4 recolors in your game. Hopefully, the new colors will be enough of an improvement that you won’t even miss the old ones. (As shown above, I’ll try to pair old and new colors in a way that won’t completely break your previous interior decorating.)

OK, so long for real this time! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

#state of the blog #aksor3b #aksor4 #I'm REALLY bad at taking a break #I'm trying! #...or I was... #I'm going to be trying! #...once I'm done with the new colors #until later! #have a great year! #I love you all so you have to be nice to yourselves until we meet again! #this is me sending a year's worth of internet hugs and warm wishes in advance! #... #.... #..... #...... #ok now I'm really for real going on hiatus! #see you in December! #;;;;;>.</

[aliksims]

Hah! Three months of picking away at this and I’ve finally developed a color palette that I think I will enjoy for... at least as long as it takes me to recolor everything I’ve already done. As you can see, I managed to tighten it back down to 110 colors (;;>.>), and about 90% are completely new color actions. I have the color actions I borrowed (thank you Aelia, CuriousB, Kiinu, Nyren, Poppet and Shastakiss!) are labeled in yellow on the AKSOR4 color chart, and as always will label those recolors with the original creator and palette in the file names, the AKSOR4 color actions (for your convenience I have included the ones I’m using) and color info documents.

If you would like the color actions (and info about them) yourself, you can download them here **UPDATED as of May 6, 2023**: http://simfil.es/3746165/

If you would like to see what they look like in game (and how they compare to my previous AKSOR3b recolors, you can download these object recolors:

Chesterstick Cherry Dresser in AKSOR4 vs AKSOR3b: http://simfil.es/3761083/

Exploding Dragon Dining Table (Flower) in AKSOR4: https://aliksims.tumblr.com/post/189155568063/

Exploding Dragon Dining Table (Flower) in AKSOR3b: http://simfil.es/3746180/

St. Ajoque Reproductions “See Plus” Mirror in AKSOR4 vs AKSOR3b: http://simfil.es/3746169/

Maxis Basic Carpet in AKSOR4 vs AKSOR3b: http://simfil.es/3746173/

Maxis Wall Paint in AKSOR4 vs AKSOR3b: http://simfil.es/3746181/

This is just a little reminder that these colors are intended to replace the AKSOR3b recolors that I have done. You CAN NOT have both versions in your game at once, except for the uploaded files above. So MAKE SURE to track down wherever you stored the old recolors when you decided to add in the new ones!

If you decide you like the old colors better, please make sure to download them before I replace their files with the updated colors! I’ll be starting with walls and floors, so if you want them I recommend you go download them soon! (If you want a file that is replaced, I have saved backup copies, so send me an ask and I can re-upload the old files and send you a link on an individual basis. (An easy way to find all my recolors is to check my Index Page of Indexes, by the way.)

This was posted on March 31, 2023. I promise not to replace anything until at least Monday, April 3, 2023. I will be updating the appropriate tumblr pages for each recolor as I updated files, so you will be able to check that way. I will try to periodically update you all via a State of the Blog address as to what has been updated.

This is going to take at least the rest of this year, especially since I’ll be slightly updating the bases for some of my old recolors and reorganizing how I sort floors and walls. And because I do keep trying to remember to pace myself. >.> HOWEVER! I am not taking any requests, and I am not doing any new recolors. You may get something for Christmas, but it will probably be a very small gift as I focus on updating everything.

I hope you all are having a lovely year so far! Don’t forget to go find some nature to enjoy when you can! I love you all! Take care of yourselves! <3

PS- Also, what a great way to celebrate 1000 posts! Couldn’t have planned it better if I’d tried! .*･ﾟ☆ \(*^▽^*)/ ☆ﾟ･* .

Hello! Happy February 12th everyone! No specific Valentines' Day gift from me this year, but I have updated some recolors from AKSOR3b to AKSOR4! ;;>.>

Also, I... just Saturday noticed that I may have made the plain walls too dark, and thus also the Virtual Vinyl Siding. -_-;;; So maybe keep an eye out for next month (or the month after's) state of the blog address to fix the walls so they all match. ;;;>_>
