You're a youngun, Jake! I've been on the forums since BEFORE they existed! XD (I reserved my username about 2 months before the forum existed.) So I got my 7 year badge in June. But yeah when they had a concrete release date for TS3 they asked all us TS2 people to reserve user profiles if we wanted, so I did. And that's how I was Vanadis on the forums before the forums ever existed XD

Anyway sorry to see people go! You all did fantastic though!

I joined right around when WA was released, mostly because I was having issues with it LOL. Then I found some good community and here we are! "Youngun" may be right but let me tell you, working to graduate with two degrees in four years - wooooo chil'. This is one tiring ride. Hahaha :D

@Evergreen226 -- I had commented on your Judging In the one I edited....Giving away the Info for winners etc ( Hiding ) Feel horrible wasn't thinking ........I admire your judging I actually have judged Once for @xJojox in MOTY -- Model of the Year... and Loved It.... Would love to do it even more! But it seems with your experience you REALLY have helped Me out........Much Like Beech here! I hope you step in More as a Judge! Hugzzzzzzz :p <3 I'm a Newbie of 4 Months........Now......and Have Learned so much through Judges Peers and My Mentor JO JO!! Day 1 here I was LOST and she took me under her wing and has taught me Photoshop HEAPS! I had never used it ONLY Used Paintshop Pro for about 15 years... so picking Up Photoshop has been trying but yet a lot like Paintshop! Learning and Having Fun is what this is about and Thanks

Well thank you!! That means a lot :) As mentioned above in my reply to Vana, working to graduate w two degrees is horribly time consuming (also because I just keep saying yes to extracurriculars... really gotta slow my roll...) and so I'm trying to find that balance but I don't want to commit to anything just yet because I don't want to have to disappear midway, ya know?

Let me tell you though, you at 4months are LEAPS and BOUNDS ahead of where I was, haha! There are so many tools and tutorials available for y'all now, it's so great and I'm so happy to see the community come together like this. I love me some Photoshop, but my primary focus is in-game editing, actually! Under the spoiler you can see kind of a mix of super edited photos but also my in-game based ones. I never liked how my fully edited photos looked back in the day and so I got better and better at in game sets and I was just so much happier with my results. I also did a lot of non-editing competitions based in stories and stuff. I think those were actually the most difficult ones because you can't just slap on some hair drawing or fix their clothes or anything so you really had to put in a lot of grunt work.

I also got a chance to learn how to make poses while doing that, which was super fun and really helped me when I needed to pose combine but couldn't - idk how it is with Sims 4 but I really recommend learning to make poses as well!

So ultimately, I may not be able to assist you with many specifics of an editing program or what specific tools to use to achieve something, but if you need help with in game shots, I'm your man!
