What I'm Working On #015

Hey! I'm back with another update on what I've been working on this week.

Marksmanship

I spent the bulk of the week finishing up the Marksmanship Mod - making the other pistols and rifles, last minute animations, etc.

There are three kinds of rifles and three kinds of pistols, each with a variety of swatches. 

As part of the skill, Sims can now craft targets, pistols, and rifles on the woodworking table!

And last but not least, I added duels.  All we need now is a tumbleweed and a cowboy hat. :)  

Flute

This week I made a wooden flute, and made all of the recordings.  I still need to finish up the skill books, but this mod is steadily approaching completion. 

Ballet

Those of you that follow my Tumblr already saw a peek of this a few days ago, but I've also started work on a ballet mod.  I was excited about it and needed a break from working on hunting.  This was second place in the skill poll, so I'm planning for this to be a March release, assuming time permits.  This one is going to be animation intensive so I'm cautiously proceeding on all of the simpler practice animations to start. :)

Although I'm doing the practice animations first, I plan to make a few ballet variations that will unlock at certain higher skill levels.  Here's a look at how I'm animating these in Blender - still a lot of work to do. :)

This particular dance is the Giselle variation as performed by Yasmine Naghdi.  She's absolutely stunning. <3

February Poll

Finally, I wanted to mention that on February 1st, there will be a patron poll for a small new historical mod.  The options right now are a spinning wheel, croquet, or a phone replacement mod.  If you have an idea for things small historical mod, drop a comment and it might be in the poll. :)

Until next time,
