Also, plugging my mod from last year. I ported over the textures from the earrings in that event and added several dye options. I also ported over the necklaces from two of the previous events, also with multiple dye options. www.xivmodarchive.com/modid/130167 #FFXIVMods | #XIVMods | #OarisMakes

Reminder before Valentine's is over that my Valentine's mod this year was redoing this monstrosity a week ago. www.xivmodarchive.com/modid/129107 #FFXIVMods | #XIVMods | #OarisMakes

Lrp btw, I've been on the sidelines of this community for several years. I saw both exoduses. I've also watched Glamour Dresser become an absolute mess and Aether Link do jack all. I do have a shred of hope for Heliosphere, despite all that, but the site is not ready to replace XMA. 🧵1/4

I'm gonna be vauge and shitty But I find it incredibly funny folks calling out XMA for shit that been known ™️ and lamenting it being the 'most used site' sure but 'no more' But are still active on x where like 2x+ the followers

Time really is a flat circle sometimes, being in a community for so long you just see cycles of: > people discover shitty thing > mass exodus > people forget > people rediscover shitty thing > repeat

Anyways, point of the last post wasn't just to scream into the void about SE's complete and utter lack of QA this expac. Had a couple updates to mods I could've probably finished by tomorrow but there's no point pushing them out if tools are going to go down for validation anyways. Friday probably.

Listen, my static understood we would have to take things more casually this tier. We couldn't even raid week one due to a member's travel plans. We had no delusions of clearing the tier fast. ... We're seriously having a hotfix but this time it's on a WEDNESDAY and pretty close to NA prime time?!

I hate that I am 100% not an artist but I am starting to understand artist struggles. I want to redo the gradient on my face 2 au ra's horns to rearrange the colors but thanks to DT UV updates I'd need a program that can work with 3D models to go over the seams cleanly. 🧵1/3

Summer Waves Mashup has received an update! Model options are now proper IMC toggles. Chest ruffles and back bow can now be toggled off in addition to the chest bow. A new colorset has been added, a solid colored skirt option. www.xivmodarchive.com/modid/109597 #FFXIVMods | #XIVMods | #OarisMods

I've also been sitting on a batch of Summer Sunset set colorsets for a bit now, a combination of DT metal dyeing experiments, an update to my old Gold and Silver Summer Sunset mods, and personal m10s prog glamours, but I've been too lazy to pack them and they really need an updated preview. 🧵 1/2

New vanilla gear edits! Summertide Formal Dress (and Summertide Formal Dress Shoes) Expanded • A few options for what channels certain parts dye on. • A few toggles. • Sheer sleeve option. • Unisex but midlander bases only. #FFXIVMods | #XIVMods | #OarisMakes www.xivmodarchive.com/modid/149179

In regards to my last post about the head mods, thank god. I've heard TexTools is once again having problems with neck data on certain heads AGAIN. So even if I wanted to dive into updating Glass Au Ra, which I really, really, want to but haven't had the spoons for, I'm not even sure I could.

Also for those interested, all of my Miqo'te mods that have head affecting options have been confirmed up to date for 7.3 changes. That includes Mikitten Too, Mikitten All Ears, and the Miqo'te Ear Remover + Restorer bundle. #FFXIVMods | #XIVMods | #OarisMakes

There's a free Blender extension called Skin Weights Copypaster that's great for attaching/weighting things to a specific point of your mesh. #modguide

Thanks to @starstormspears.bsky.social for commissioning me and allowing for a public release! Dragonborn Scales for Yugiri! Includes body, tail, and face files (of which I semi-repainted by hand). There are loose files in there in case you wanna use them for anything! #ascianbloodmods | #xivmods

Well I panicked, went to check that ear flap removers were indeed in the zip, then stared at the mod page confused. It has taken nearly 2 years for someone to misunderstand that it affecting faces/heads does not mean there's a face/head install. That's the ear flap removers, which are optional.

Alright redoing my tags because I ended up not using one for what I had planned to. #OarisMakes will now be for me posting my mods. #OarisMods will be for anyone that uses them and wants to show me. #OarisOCs is if I ever get the nerve to post my own characters.

Summer Waves Mashup has been updated for DT! Mashup for tall females. 6 colorsets. 2 model options. Completely repacked for DT textures. Colorsets redone for dual dye. Model options and colorset options now mix and matchable. www.xivmodarchive.com/modid/109597 #FFXIVMods | #XIVMods | #OarisMods

Put finishing touches on my content main OC and my RP main OC over the weekend. I really want to dive in and retexture an RP alt I dusted off recently but oh boy another maintenance! "You had all day to work on that!" I focus best at night and my focus is garbo even then. I need hours and at night.

I'm actually glad there's no 7.3 ultimate. FRU was rough for my group and I'd like a little time to just chill between tiers. BUT The possibility it's 7.5 is scary in a different way. 7.3 means if you don't finish you go back in 7.5. If it's 7.5 there's no going back until next expac.

Miqo'te Ear Remover + Restorer has been updated! The restorer has been completely redone to include all parts of the ear. Options for longer ears that close the gap between ears and modded hair have been added. www.xivmodarchive.com/modid/124039 #FFXIVMods | #XIVMods | #OarisMods

While I'm genuinely happy to finish projects and do things for the community, I may need to pause on updating all the Mikitten tails. My mental health has been at an all time low this past week and doing a couple things for myself and not worrying about my big projects might help.

Good news and bad news again. Good news: Mikitten Too update in a day or two. Bad news: Changed my mind on combining them with heads again. I'm not doing it. 🧵 1/6

Good news: Finished Miktten Too tail installs. Neutral News: Decided, against my better judgement, to still make face installs. Bad News: That means I still need one more infinity stone before I can snap away the old version and release the new one.

Every time I actually want to work on modding either there's a patch coming or a friend who isn't around much or who I had to turn down recently or some such shows up. Might try to organize models just to get SOMETHING done. I'm very sore and tired and probably getting sick rn. 🥲

Oh boy, another 'I'm frustrated' rant incoming. After running around with the ears attached to my head model for 2 weeks I finally noticed the ears don't cast a shadow. This isn't an issue when they're on items or tails. 🧵 1/5
