Just an Info:
k-hippies site - https://tech-hippie.com/archives/3079 and http://tech-hippie.com/archives/642 links don't work anymore. I guess the page has changed or got deleted by the creator.

I found this though

For anyone wondering why the links don't work anymore, here is a new link to the mods site: Mods - Tech Hippie

@Blackgryffin
I'd still like to know why all my custom grass terrain paints are brown and not green when added. They show green in preview. Same goes for all the grass terrain paint overrides from these mods which I have all installed.

Blackgryffin is my nickname here on MTS ... But our latest stuff is elsewhere :

- Tumblr : https://k-hippie.tumblr.com
- our Website : https://www.tech-hippie.com

The K-202 mod ( which is not really a mod but a huge textures replacement ) is updated until "Cottage Living" and the town of Henford-on-Bagley

In addition to the K-502, there are :

- K-101 ( all floors replacement )
- K-303 ( some walls and objects replacement )
- K 505 ( all EA terrains replacement )
- K-606 ( all basements and roofs replacement )
- K-707 ( all plants and trees replacement )

All these things are updated for every expansions until "Cottage Living"

We are working on new projects so that's why we have not yet updated the 2 last expansions. Have fun searching our newest stuff

You surely do not know but I lost an entire computer few months ago ... I lost A LOT ! The amount of work is so huge and EA so strange to make some ID calls multiple times ( with unnecessary need ) now with all expansions I maybe couldn't search and find a lonely wrong colored file ...

Related to K-202 terrain paint only, no such matter in theory : simple, 50 files maximum ... I just stopped buying expansions. But everything is updated until "Cottage Living" Is there still a future for the Sims 4 ? I'm not sure indeed ... So, still creating worlds for the Sims 3 but nothing for the Sims 4 since last year I'm afraid

Related to Get Famous, there was before three 202 files named k-hippie-k202-ea-terrafloor-valley-new-xxxxxx(date) or something like that ... Valley because of the town : Valley del Sol ... That was until 2021 ... As I didn't play at all with the Sims 4 since 2021, I can't tell exactly when Maxis made this modification. But now, in 2023, those files are not there anymore. If I look at the IDs, I'm pretty sure they have been displaced, not removed but well, no Del Sol Valley floor paints anymore. So, they are not in the new k-202.

Do Maxis makes other changes ? oh yeah ! it is silent, it is inside the numerous patches they do, it is tricky for the k-mods ALL THE TIME ! ( see the number of updates related to the k-505 ) <--- boring as hell

now, some abbreviations :

gfor = granite falls outdoor retreat
fogh = forgotten hollow
getw = get to work
gtog = get together
bbay = brindleton bay

the others are more obvious

Recently, Maxis updated numeral stuff and added 20 more base game files to their terrain paints. So, we updated the k-202 ground mod and made it directX11 compliant too This is the 2024 k-202 Major update

Are you talking about the spray paint? A bit confused over here. So far I downloaded all your recent updates, but I still have these spray paint files from 2018 in my game. Are these somewhere included from your updates? Because on your main page I can't find them anymore. The folder in my files is called "BaseG_Spraypaint_SpecialDez2018"

Sorry for the confusion : k-505 is for the Worlds Terrains ( the ones you can't modify in-game ) and the k-202 is for the Lots terrains ( the ones you may play with ) ... "BaseG_Spraypaint_SpecialDez2018" is not at all a file of mine : surely the file of another creator and here the link on our website : https://tech-hippie.com/k-mods/k-202-the-groundy-mod/

As we transferred our server to a new host 2 weeks ago, if anything is wrong, just tell me

Dear, they are from you I might have renamed them a bit to be better readable for me, but they are definitely from you. See pic. I have already downloaded everything from your new page.
Only these as showing in the pic, confuse me. They where once an ectra download and are in my game ever since.
