Hey fans, hope your week has been going well! Mines been decent, though I'd say its been a bad week for me in terms of mod ideas! xD Let me explain.
First in my "oops, canceled" list is No Photo Auras. Turns out someone beat me to it sometime late last month, with a bonus! If you're interested in this mod still you can find the other person's version here.
Second, we have a royalty mod incoming! (Insert scream emoji, why doesn't Patreon have emojis??) I wanted to do something slightly similar down the line but I guess that's scrapped too. Good news is that maybe, just maybe, I can do a collaboration with the creator and help him add TSM animations to the mod. I still have to research extracting animations and objects for TSM, but once I finish this mod dump and the followers gift (214 now!) I'll do so. It's finally time I sat down and got started on the massive conversion project I've been mentioning. I intend to focus on interactions and object use too, so if it has an object attached I'll be porting that over as well, so this will give you new gameplay options!
Lastly, an idea I thought of but didn't take too seriously was a stripper mod, which WickedWhims just released. Ha! It's like they are reading my mind. But good news that I don't think anyone else has fully realized yet, is that they figured out how to make a new career lot that you can purchase, just like the Active Careers. With the right amount of work that possibly means hotels and other ideas I haven't even considered yet (one could be a hair salon). I don't know the work involved and I'm sure that's far off for me, but heck, if no one does it by the time I get more knowledge you can bet I'm sitting down and working on that. For now though one can dream (maybe we'll get hotels before that point, who knows).
In other news, even though No Photo Auras was canceled I do have 2 other incoming mods for you! One is No More Social Motive Decay which someone was requesting as they hated social interaction for sims, and the second is Ghosts Stay White. That mod has been requested since ghosts were added but no one has made one, and it's super easy to do so too (I'm writing a tutorial for it in case people want to add their own colors ). What the heck? Whatever the reason, I hope it makes people happy! These will be part of my mod dump as well. I'm almost finished with Ghosts Stay White, just working on the pet version now. You can see some previews above.
I have more to discuss but I'll leave that for another post. As usual, if you have any suggestions send them my way!
