Hello Sickleyield ! I'm a lover of your DAZ products, and I just discovered you were into Morrowind and Oblivion too ! May I ask if you were a modder for thise ? I may have used some of your mods when I was playing (and modding) those a lot :)
It's been years now, and my work on those Oblivion mods is embarrassing (I was learning to model/texture and my results were bad). But yes, SickleYield was my modding handle. There's still a profile with that name on Nexus with my old Araachnalian and Undead races and a bunch of conversions I did for the Fantasy Figures body mod because I couldn't pick a winner to save my life (I use HGEC in games now like everyone does, but hey, at least I was right about good old Robert's).
I also had some very cringe views about what constitutes appropriate armor and clothing in my 20s that I really regret now as a 41 year old. I have content in my store that 24 year old me would lynch me for lol.
The best thing about those days is that modding helped keep me sane at a bad job, and it also introduced me to Pendraia, Alienslof, and other lovely people, who were ultimately the cause of me getting into Daz Studio as a career. It also introduced me to what absolute bellends some people could be about mods with anything even mildly sexy for men in them, so when I received negative feedback on Daz projects it was often mild by comparison. The nastiest people have been here on dA, but even then it's usually not that bad.
Where any sexy male thing in a mod caused a bunch of assholes to call me gay as an insult (it was MUCH worse for Alienslof), in DS/Iray I have GSM coworkers and customers and always have, and that attitude is largely not tolerated in these spaces. I wasn't out as queer back then and am still figuring out the whole "definitely asexual/aegosexual, might be a bit genderfluid" thing now, but then as now I was a cis female who liked male content more, so people calling me gay was if anything kind of silly.
Sorry for the wall of text answer haha! It's been quite a journey. Sometimes I miss the old CanadianIce & Howndog modding forums. It was a safe place for me for a long time.
CanadianIce had the best mods ! The big house and also the quest (Andromache I think) that started with Heavy Metal store at Dagon Fel I didn't go to forums much at this time because I wasn't sure enough of my english skills
Also I never really could agree with myself for chosing a body in Oblivion Also Alienslof's shops are the only thing that made me try a male character on Morro ^^ I didn't know Alienslof was on DAZ as well !
I understand what you mean, video games and especially the ones where I can create a character (usually MY character, she went in almost every fantasy game now ha ha) and try outfits and stuff, are a great help for me as a very anxious person. There are somewhat lifesavers for my sanity.
I'm female, and cis with an ace tendancy (or is it the other way round ? Can't be sure !) and I love putting sexy stuff on my female character for some reason so I usually pass for male or lesbian online x)
But yeah, people can be very agressive or mean on here, I hope now you don't meet this kind of behaviour too much? On DAZ They do seem more open and chilling.
Thanks for the answer ! It is nice to be able to chat with one of my fav content creator !
Ps : I'm 40 so we're very close in age too
Thank you for being open about the process of character creation. Your tuts and advice has been invaluable!
