Sorry to bombard everyone with so many posts today lol
How important is it for the objects you use in your recipe (like the tray you grab from the fridge or the food inside the frying pan) to accurately reflect what you are making?
The recipes we have in game refer to the same sets of objects, like the generic fruit board and th...
2018-04-25 01:30:34 +0000 UTC View PostSo the only way that makes sense to do a wood burning stove that requires wood is to recreate all the recipes in game to require wood as an ingredient. Then I'd have to go through and edit ALL the menu tuning for each serving under the stove and make it so only THAT stove can use those recipes.
The issue with this is t...
2018-04-24 23:18:25 +0000 UTC View PostI just wanted to let you all know that you probably won't hear from me on Thursday and Friday. I have surgery Thursday morning and I'm sure I'll be out of it for a day or two if all goes well. If it turns out to be a difficult procedure I'll likely be down closer to a week. It shouldn't be more than a days hospital stay though so I'll be on bed res...

So I THOUGHT I was done yesterday but then remembered we had talked about adding these magazine racks too. There are angled slots so you can put any thin books on here and set them for sale. If you don't set them for sale Sims will grab them to read and kind of leave them hanging around so keep that in mind. I'm working on some magazines to clutter...

Alright I'm 98% sure I got them all. Can you believe there's not a single duplicate here?
I'm gonna make some deco books and stacks and this is done, phew!
2018-04-22 20:50:26 +0000 UTC View PostSo for the spices and teas originally my plan was to create a recipe that will pour onto the counter and create a bowl with a pile of herbs in it. This would allow you would have the option to sell the bowl of herbs on a retail lot and create a spice stall for your farmers market.
When you click on the bowl you can choose to 'Separate into ...

So last night I swear I had figured out the tuning to get these book variations to work properly as displays. I put the tuning in to all the multi-cover books and loaded it up today only to find none of them working properly. I almost thought for a moment I must have dreamed it or something because I literally spent ALL DAY today trying to get it t...

2018-04-20 18:41:25 +0000 UTC View PostAlright, once I've completed the first Aspiration and Skill for Preserving I'd like to work on one of the following. There'll be a poll at the bottom and you all can vote on it. Keep in mind when you vote, I'll probably only do one of these. I think by the time I finish a second set I'll be burnt out and rea...
2018-04-18 02:38:45 +0000 UTC View PostI think this group will have to be done first as I'm trying to incorporate the preserving skill on a low level into the next two aspirations I'll post. Please note that anything below could change depending on how well it flows together or if I can make them happen tuning-wise.
Self-Sufficient Aspiration #1: 2018-04-17 18:27:34 +0000 UTC View Post
Well I couldn't get everything I wanted working with these but I'm satisfied with it for now. These sprinklers are cheaper, water about a 3x3 area, and have an interaction for your sims to play in them.
They're automatic, so they run at specific times during the day starting at 4 and coming on about every 5 hours or so. Sims will receive a playfu...
2018-04-17 16:57:10 +0000 UTC View PostI really need to not get so overzealous next time I'm making a mod. I have to separate the interactions I made for the sprinkler because they do this circular reference thing that I can't figure out how to fix.
You live you learn.
I wanted to have this for you all today which might still happen, just later tonight.
Wish me luck,...
2018-04-13 21:06:46 +0000 UTC View PostI'm almost done laying out the aspirations, traits, and objects I've put together with all of our ideas, and boy I went kinda crazy with it lol.
So I've come up with like 8 aspirations, 6 skills, 2 traits, and a ton of objects/recipes. I've put them into groups based on what's included in them so...
2018-04-12 18:15:11 +0000 UTC View PostI forgot to add some interactions for pets so here they are. You can also see a few of the buffs I added - I may change the icon and descriptions at some point.
Somewhere along the way I messed up the on/off, auto on/auto off interactions so once I fix those THEN I'll upload it. I went overboard with this a bit but I think it'll add some ex...
2018-04-12 17:53:42 +0000 UTC View PostI talked with Zylria a bit about this mod to help out with her Grassroots challenge specifically, but really this really can be used for any challenge that requires you to start from almost nothing.
This will fill your hunger bar more when you eat any harvestable, base game or custom. I wanted to make it higher but not too cheaty so it doesn't fi...

I'm almost finished separating stuff from the My First Pets pack, there really wasn't a whole lot there. As usual I'm juggling like 5 projects, switching through them as I start to get frustrated or bored with the previous project lol.
I also started messing around with the new geostate feature in S4Studio and I'm SO excited to use it. You ...
2018-04-10 15:07:56 +0000 UTC View PostI learned how to convert the play in puddle animations to todders but it was way too animated. The good thing though is now that I know how to do it, I'd like to try to see if I can make some animations and tuning to allow children to garden.
Oh, and don't freak out about all the puddles and people playing in them. If you don't want this t...

I just taught myself how to make and transfer custom animations.
Woot Woot!

2018-04-09 02:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, before I'm off to pickup my brother I wanted to put this out there to see what you all thought of a Homesteading Pack/Set. I'm shifting gears from the Farmers Market set I was working on because I'm confident that EA is either working on something similar, or working on something that's going to...

I know...you guys are probably like "Why does she hop around so much on her projects all the time?" ADD I guess lol.
Anyway I found these half finished in one of my Mods folders. I added some of the hidden colors pbox found, gave them no backsplash, and added a BUTT TON of slots. I also de-cluttered everything and added textures for the islands t...
2018-03-29 22:43:38 +0000 UTC View PostMy brother is flying into town tomorrow so you may notice I'm a bit quieter on here for the next week. Not to say I won't be working on stuff, it just may be a couple of days before you all hear from me.
I figured I'll probably continue planning the new set we started brainstorming. This would probably be a good time to work on the more repetitiv...

...when I get super inspired from brainstorming a new project lol 😁
I've had a couple of great suggestions from patrons so far and now I'm looking into making this 2 sets instead of one. The first would be the museum set itself with modular displays and labels for the cabinets, walls, and floors. Also I've added a TON of display bases that wil...
2018-03-28 14:56:15 +0000 UTC View PostAs I'm making the different display versions from the LaneCo Curators Cabinet I keep thinking of other stuff to add. Here's what I've got so far:
Museum Mini-Set
I'm not sure if all of these are accessible through normal gameplay but holy cow that's a lot of objects!!!
Now I just need to finish those displays so there are plenty of places to put all of these :)

Well I finally settled on a way to make these buyable. Unfortunately they take up a ton of space in the catalog because the game won't let me group them together with multiple swatches for some reason. For that reason, I've left them in buydebug under sculptures.
Now on to the rest!
2018-03-27 17:48:39 +0000 UTC View Post
Omg and it matches so well I can't believe I figured it out!!! It has one swatch for every color of the basic stone walls. Now I just have to figure out how to add a thumbnail swatch... 🤔

So I figured out how to make these placeable in game from the dirt clumps. I know people wanted these to put in their builds, particularly their museum builds. I even altered the pricing a bit so that the common and uncommon versions aren't worth as much as th...
