Reminder: Patch Day Tomorrow

Hello!  This is a friendly reminder that the Sims 4 is getting a major update tomorrow that is likely to break all mods.  If possible, only play in Offline Mode to avoid the update or play a vanilla save file until mods can be updated.  

I'm saving time this week to make sure that my mods get updated, but it's hard to tell w...

Hey all - just wanted to share what the next month or so is going to look like!  

I've been working ahead on the upcoming instruments, and the Lute skill should be ready to release in early to mid March.  So far, the instrument itself is...

WIP: Archery Update

Just wanted to post a quick update of what I've been working on this week.  My next goal is to get an update of the archery mod out that will allow children to use the bow.  (The video here shows the practice animations for children with an adult sized bow; I still need to make the child sized one).  I've also been working on maki...

WIP: Soulmates Mod

Here's a sneak peak of what I have planned for next week - a Soulmates mod!  Sort of (but not quite) like Fated Mates from the Werewolves pack, Sims have a random chance of discovering their Soulmate when meeting new Sims or interacting with ones t...

Patch Compatibility

All supported mods should be compatible with the latest patch.

However, I am formally abandoning my Work Hours Mod.  The scripting is too much for me to handle with my current skillset and I want to spend more time on mods that add new content to the game.  If another modder would like t...

Regency Romance Update on Hold

Hi all - so sorry to do this but it looks like there might be a scripting bug I missed and I really don't want to mess up anyones game.  I'm so so sorry but I'm looking into this today until I can resolve this.

Playable Harp v1.01

Hi all,

Just wanted to share a quick update of the playable harp mod.  This addresses two small bugs ("The Swan" under Romantic Music was mislabeled as "O Mio Babbino Caro" and Sims who watched harpists would start randomly dancing).  I'...

Mod: Functional Hairbrushes

This simple mod adds functional hairbrushes to the game!  There are two brushes included, a wooden one and a silver one, each with four swatches.  When your Sims brush their hair, they gain hygiene.  Children can use the hairbrush too! View Post

Updates

Here's a quick update of what I've been working on the last few weeks!  So sorry to have been quiet.

The hairbrush mod is coming along nicely and I hope to release it on January 15th.  The video is a quick preview of what it's looking like in game right now.  

Bugfixes for the Regency Mod have taken a lot longer than a...

Happy Winterfest!

I've been trying to get better at CAS modding, so here's a little something extra while I'm finishing up the Regency update - a simple little dress that can work as a nightdress.  It's a low poly frankenmesh of a base game shirt and a skirt from We...

Updates/Look Ahead

Hey y'all - just wanted to share a couple quick updates.  

Next on my work list is the next update of Regency Romance.  This week, I was able to fix estates unlocking, create longer animations for fans, allow users to directly select fan autonomy, and some other minor things.  Also on the list are some quality of life edits,...

Turn Pianos Into Harpsichords

There are lots of custom pianos/harpsichords out there that you might want to change to be harpsichords, so I wanted to type up a quick tutorial for those who might want to know how.

Tldr; Change the Tuning to simsten_hpsd:object_harpsichord and the tuning Id to 8065125781368722301 for all object definitions.

WIP: Archery Objects

Happy Harvestfest!

Just wanted to send a final WIP of the Archery mod - I'm finally done with all the objects and I'm hoping to finish the mod this weekend *fingers crossed*.  Here's a sneak peak of all the objects included in the mod.

WIP: Archery (In-Game)

Another video of what the archery is looking like in game for now.  I've still got some work to do on targets and objects - I'm hoping to have different distance options for the targets as well, which unlock as skill increases.

WIP: Archery Mod

Welp, this week has been chaos.  My irl job got crazy all of a sudden, and now my dog has been sick so I'm a bit behind on modding, but still wanted to show some wip videos of the archery mod.  Still hopeful that this will release this month in some form, but I'm admittedly a little behind now.

WIP: Archery Skill

Now that I've figured out how to import a custom rig, I feel confident that this month's mod is going to be a custom archery skill!  So far I've built the mesh and textured the targets, the first bow and arrow, and rigged the bow so it will work in...

Mod: Animated Fans Standalone

Animated Fans are a feature of the newest update of my Regency Romance mod, but I thought that it might be useful as a standalone mod for Simmers who play other eras.  If you use Regency Romance, you do not need to install this mod!

Next Regency Update

There are so, so many things that I wanted to include in this update that slipped through the cracks.  I'm definitely planning on at some point making hireable services (maids/footmen and governesses), and I want to include more small interactions for servants (serving food from platters, the ability to become a specific person's servant an...

Regency Romance 1.05 Update (Careers, Animated Fans)

I've come to realize that any mod will take at least twice as long as I think it will!  Thank you so much for your patience, encouragement, and support to help me bring this mod to life, and I hope you enjoy this month's update.

WIP: October Regency Update

I spent the weekend on bugfixes and I'm working on a couple new features (some animations for polishing silver for the servant career, and tonight - animated fans for your regency ladies!).  I'm hopeful that I can have this update out next week.
