#troubleshoot and fix

[applecoreart]

+In some matters of design, I recently had a heart-to-heart and realized I wasn't simplifying the forms and details simply to save time when animating, but to avoid drawing certain things I was struggling with, like more detailed faces, dimensions in clothing, HATS. So I took time the past two weeks to study and practice the weak areas, then adjusted Crane's last design version to match. I enjoy this a lot more, and this approach allows a lot more facial diversity and detail for the other characters also.

So, here's me practicing Crane's updated design, expressions, 1940s suits (that thankfully don't look as flat as I was previously drawing them), and hats :) Picked a totally random moody noir background that I could do in an hour or so-- I've no idea what Crane's reacting to XD Also, the project's in color, but I just like rendering the black and white film grain versions for fun-- I think they look neat :3

#BSTproject #Jonathan Crane #Batman #RA fanstuffs #I tried to draw in this style a long time ago and it always looked awful #because I wasn't drawing the head dimensions right so anything on top of course looked even worse #so going simpler for awhile without all the detail at least helped me troubleshoot the root of the problem and fix it

BLUE EXORCIST SHIMEJI MASTERLIST

I love collecting and archiving various Blue Exorcist stuff and lately I’ve been on the hunt for some Shimejis & I’ve successfully managed to recover a huge amount of old Shimejis that were said to be lost or broken and updated their code to the latest Shimeji-ee so they’ll work again!!

For those who don’t know, Shimeji’s are a desktop mascot for Windows that freely wanders and interacts with the screen! Requires latest Java to function! [tutorial here]

Please use the files in THIS post and not the ones in the listed source (if they’re available). Otherwise they might not work as intended since most are very dated.

If you find a broken download link and/or Shimeji, or if you’ve made a Shimeji and would like them to be added to this, let me know!

Shimejis can all be found below! With that being said, enjoy! :D

we are having extremely comical and nigh catastrophic IT issues at work rn but my coworker and i have mastered tag team check printing. #girlssupportinggirls

#the short version is that her user profile is somehow broken since updating her password #so whenever she prints a check the CFO's signature isn't on it #and it's been like this for like 2 weeks and IT can't figure out how to fix it #and then i was previously printing to my other coworkers printer but some of my checks just weren't printing at all #and IT did not help me at all but after some troubleshooting it seemed to be my connection to that specific printer (women in STEM) #so i switched to printing to the other printer where i also print all my coworkers checks once she assigns the check numbers #and it's all working now but it is convoluted and stupid

Hi! I was trying to place a few of your builds from the gallery and had the infinite loading screen bug and I was wondering if your builds used tool? or if it's just my game being silly

oh no! i know one of the laundromats has been having that issue. i was trying to figu re out why for a bit, but yeah i do use tool! is that whats causing it? i had no idea i never know whats broken lol

#is there a fix to it or is uninstalling tool enough??? oor updating it??? idk #i am not troubleshoot savvy

[ssspringroll]

very pleased with how it WORKS though, even if the actual braid chunk needs more tweaking shape-wise. check it out, no need to worry about stretching it out super long if you want a longer braid. dont need to lop off the ends if you want a shorter one. it just goes along with the length of the curve :)

#that was sooo annoying to troubleshoot #i just made my damn braid chunk too big i needed to apply the scale #to make it smaller #so it would fit the length of the curve ♥ #there WILL be cleanup required after applying the modifiers like cleaning up the start and end #and possibly making the overall braid a little less uniform so it doesnt look so mechanical #but generally? big fan so far. #time saver! #and i got some ocs with some LONG fucking braids #so this is gonna be a great thing to get set up lol #i have to work on the texture too bc im using simmandy's textures #for my dev stuff atm #but there isnt really a great/convincing spot to map the braids on there #but its an easy enough fix probably #uh... braids are gonna be kinda rough to do ombres on but. maybe if you painstakingly re-map all the braid chunks after applying mods then #maybe itll work out #i dunno! #simoleon

has/is anybody had this issue in the game?? like, when I go to change my Sims outfit, the sim does the animation but stays in the same outfit? and the sims head/picture is blank/invisible in the ui when I go to click on them??

#kristens.txt #*public troubleshoot #. . . this is what i get for wanting to download cc builds #like. . . no shade. but them alpha builders love them a merged file! and that stay fucking up my damn game- #this started in my realistic alpha save- but im gonna so pissed if i have to redo my entire mods folder if i can't find this pesky issue. #better exceptions is currently my last hope 😭 #even though it's not being annoying with the popups like it usual is. . .🙄when i need it- it dont wanna pop up but when i don't “scanning!” #hopefully someone can help or has encountered this and was able to fix it- #plus to mention i took out all of my mods cause the girls been saying that was a secret patch going around?

Finished making a cat ear beanie for my partner!

Figuring out the stitch placements to construct the ears was a pain. I couldn't follow the pattern for how I wanted them to look, bc I didn't want the long stitches to show behind the ears like they do in the pattern. I tried to make the ears curl in like a real cat's and not puff up like it had air inside looking like horns.

Their head is a lot bigger than mine and I had to try to adjust the pattern as best as I knew how. Bc it's so big it doesn't look completely right on me, but still! I think it's pretty good for my first completed knitting project in a long time.

#Ella life #Ella face #I've never posted any knitting stuff before #Ella yarn stuff #Ella crafts #idk man lol #I do not want to touch my scarf yet bc I'm still mad that I have to undo all that great troubleshooting I did before which was a PAIN #idk how I'm gonna make the tension right again in that part TTATT #I don't want to undo that section and fix it only for the tension to be all stupid again anyway and make me frog it several rows back TTATT #DON'T MAKE ME DO IIIIIIIIIT TTATT #oh! also this was my first time using microfiber yarn which made it a bit hard to see individual stitches when I was sewing it up #but I think I did well!

[iaminatree]

yeah anyways the requests may take a teeeeeeeny bit longer than expected

#ace attorney #miles edgeworth #yeah my computer shat itself #i tried literally every troubleshooting method including just fully resetting my laptop and none of it worked #if it doesn't fix itself by the end of tomorrow through me just leaving it off to rest then we got a problem #if it takes too long ill just do it thru mobile but i dont wanna bc the quality will be significantly shittier #miles edgeworth i swear on my nuts that i will draw you in a victorian gown no matter what

Free advice no one asked for

I've been seeing this issue in many people's ts2 screenshots lately.

If you have an Nvidia GPU and your sims have weird lines on their faces, especially noticeable at the edge of lips, you can fix it quite easily (only if it bothers you, of course) with the Nvidia Inspector. Just open the settings and turn Antialiasing fix on for your game. This should fix it. At least it worked for me in all 2/3/4 sims games.

This is a well-known fix in ts3&4 communities, but I haven't seen it brought up that much in the context of ts2.

(here, some kind person wrote a better tutorial for ts4, with images)

For anyone familiar with AO3, can someone help me out regarding a problem I'm having with uploading images onto a fic?

Several years ago I wrote a fic and placed two images in it which uploaded without any issues, but recently the images stopped loading onto the fic and I'm not sure what the problem is

I had originally made the art myself and uploaded them onto my old DeviantArt account so that I AO3 would recognize the source URL. Like I said above there wasn't any problems with the images not appearing until only a few months ago...

#fanfic #ao3 #troubleshooting #I wouldn't be surprised if deviantart itself was the problem #what with how awful that site's become in recent years #but I don't work with images in fics very often so I'm not sure how to fix it -_-
