F4: Sam’s Synth Evolution

Last updated on May 21st, 2024 at 03:44 pm

My character Sam was a human once. As he advanced in the Institute quest line, his longing to become a Synth grew. One day, his wish came true.

It all began with “iSynth 2.5 – Android Customization”. But I wasn’t satisfied with his look, still too much flesh.

So I modified the textures of the mod and it was not the last time I modified them

I also played a lot with the body meshes of iSynth and … Read more

Warning: This article contains major spoilers on the Brotherhood of Steel, Institute and main quest lines. 

Before Sam decided to join the Brotherhood of Steel he made a visit to Vault 114 searching for a certain detective. (this is the first image which I made on the new computer)

Enjoying the architecture, bizarre discoveries and taking a break

Finally, he found the Brotherhood of Steel, helped them to solve some problems and they took him to … Read more

F4: Sam’s Adventures – the beginning

Last updated on August 17th, 2023 at 03:32 am

Accorcing to the article “Entering the realm of Fallout 4” I tell you the story of my character Sam. He lived a peaceful life together with his wife Nora and his son Shaun.

Notice: some images have lower resolutions because I needed to degrade the resolution from time to time when the performance was very bad on my old PC (mostly in towns). Gladly, this changed with the new computer.

Then the apocalypse came and nothing was where it used to be.

Entering the realm of Fallout 4

Last updated on August 17th, 2023 at 03:33 am

I’m playing Fallout 4 since June 2019, at the beginning on my 9 year old computer, and later on my new computer which I bought at the end of July. In the middle of August, I got sciatica, so that I couldn’t play for some weeks. The pain isn’t gone entirely. I stopped doing my practices as I catched a serious cold this month. I’m feeling reasonably well again now and will continue my practices this weekend.

Regarding the game, I’m siding with the Institute and realized after reading too much … Read more

Selene’s Shadow Realm uses SSL now!

SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer and establishes encrypted connections (https protocol) between the server of my site and your browser. The padlock symbol on the left site of your address bar shows you that the connection is safe.

After I bought the SSL option, I needed to adjust some links which I missed and deactivate a plugin that interfered with the https protocol. The developer tools of the browser where quite helpful to find the mixed content that still uses the unencrypted http protocol.

Using the https protocol is not only secure but can also have a positive effect … Read more

Security breach in “WP GDPR Compliance” opens doors for hackers

Last updated on August 17th, 2023 at 03:09 am

If you are a WordPress user as well and use an older version of the plugin, then there is a high risk that your site will be hacked. I experienced this myself and I write this little article to warn you. Please update “WP GDPR Compliance” to the recent version (as a site note: the same applies to WooCommerce).

But if your site has already been hacked because of this security breach:

  1. Go to your WordPress database via PhpMyAdmin (or similar)
  2. Click on the name of the database to load

I’m still alive

Last updated on February 24th, 2023 at 02:36 am

Real life always gets me. I’ve got a new apprenticeship (Edit: I confused internship with apprenticeship; I meant internship) at a little publishing house which is really nice. If I have enough motivation for my private projects, it would put the cherry on the cake. But some “personal difficulties” let the flow dry in the last couple of months. We all have crosses to bear.

But I know when I have enough breaks from the private projects, I have enough energy to continue the work on them until they are done. … Read more

Current plans for the future (June 2018)

Last updated on June 16th, 2018 at 11:01 pm

I’m not always sticking to my plans but I do my best. I talked about my plans for the future some months ago on the Nexus forums. They changed a bit. So my current plans for the future are:

  • translating some of my older mods which haven’t got an English translation yet (for example Maniac Race and Mysterious Elves); Edit (June 16, 2018): a complete list of the affected mods can now be found here
  • finally releasing the English version of the new version of Abyss Demon

A new home for my homepage

Last updated on June 16th, 2018 at 09:34 am

Edit (June 16, 2018)

This is the first post I’m writing on the new server. All previous posts were written offline on my netbook’s localhost using XAMPP. You maybe have noticed that there’s still the old version of Selene’s Shadow Realm out there which is hosted on Jimdo. I will keep the old version online for archiving purposes hoping it will not be deleted by Jimdo again. Yes, you have read correctly. My site was nuked without any forewarning. The only thing left was an error message stating that the … Read more
