🎂 Weekly Update 🎂
🧺 SDV Mods: 🧺
- Farmer Portrait Commission: I spent most of this week finishing up my commission. The CP file is coded, and the portraits are complete, but my client requested a few edits to some pieces. We’re in the final revision phase now. Once this project is done, I’ll focus on finishing Seasonal ES.
- Foliage: I only had a few spare hours to work on personal projects, so I focused on some foliage retextures. Pine, oak, and maple are finished, and I’ve started working on mahogany. I chose the Chinese Mahogany tree as my reference, especially because it’s pink in spring (so pretty!). This project is moving slowly since trees are surprisingly difficult to draw.
🎮 Games: 🎮
- Nine Sols: After finishing Silent Hill 2 (Remake), my husband and I started this metroidvania. It’s really fun, but also really hard. I definitely wouldn’t have made it as far without my hubby’s amazing reaction time and skills with these kinds of games.
- Core Keeper: My friend and I meet once a week to play this game. She loves exploring while I focus on decorating. Since she’s been bringing back great materials, I expanded our base to make room for more builds.
- Satisfactory: This game is for people who enjoy building complex systems and then scraping the whole thing because they aren’t efficient enough… over and over. I just finished Tier 3 and am working toward Tier 4. I’ve started setting up my coal power supply, which is a bit of a pain since it’s located on a high cliff away from my main base.
- The Planet Crafter: My sister and I have been slowly playing through the Toxicity update. Cleaning up the world is oddly satisfying. We’ve had a few close calls in the radioactive areas, but overall, things are going well. The map is huge, so we’ve had to build several small bases along the way.
📖 Reading: 📖
- State of Grace: I’m working on finishing this reverse harem series. I really enjoyed the first two books, but after that, things started to feel rushed. By book four, the story got a bit strange. I do want to give credit to the author, since each love interest feels distinct, and they all get time to develop a relationship with the FL. I’ll have to share my overall thoughts on how I feel about it once I finish the series.
- The Power Broker: This is a nonfiction read I’ve been slowly working through. It’s fascinating (and a bit depressing) to see how government and political systems operate. Robert Moses is a particularly interesting figure. He accomplished a lot, but also made some very questionable and corrupt decisions. It really shows both how much has changed in our world and how much hasn’t.
💬 Life: 💬
I didn’t get as much done this week, project-wise, because it was my birthday (on Friday)! I took a day off to relax and do whatever I wanted. Which was amazing and needed. I really need to give myself more days like that, but we’ll see how that fits into my already packed schedule.
Â
That’s it for me this week! If you made it this far, thank you so much for reading. Til next time.
