Mod Update - 11/03/20

I’m releasing this update because this issue can have a direct negative impact on gameplay. Other smaller fixes and tweaks are still on hold until the next game patch.

Sit to Eat and Drink

- Some reward potions were not giving their effects correctly (like the potion of youth not having any effect on the sim’s aging progress). This is now fixed. View Post

Quick Announcement

Hey everyone! How are you doing?
I wanted to let y'all know I'm taking a short break from posting any new content at least until the next update — which is probably coming a week or so before the release date of the new pack (November 13th).
This seems like it's gonna be a big update, a lot of stuff will probably break, and there's no point in working on new mods only for them to break and then having to redo everything (on top of upd...

Better Mood Reactions 

- There was a tiny conflict with my other mod, Better Motive Reactions, causing the low energy buffs to show as Uncomfortable instead of Dazed. Unfortunately, in order to fix this, I had to remove the sleepy walkstyle from the no-walkstyles version of this mod.

Better Mood Reactions

I found an issue with the mod causing sims to randomly stand still with both arms clipping into the torso. This should no longer happen.

Sim Spawn Overhaul

• servicesims-homelessonly
- Fixed an issue with Ownable Restaurants in which the game would spawn sims different than the ones you hired.

Sorry for the back-to-back updates! It’s not something I like to do, but this issue was brought to my attention just today.

PERENNIAL PUBLIC PLANTS

This mod makes plants that are public blossom all year long, regardless of season. This includes off-lot garden plants and festival plants. This will not affect plants inside a lot.
The mod is a very simple ts4script file and it should be compatible with any new plants that are added to the game in the future.

BATUU LOADING SCREENS

After playing and taking some screenshots in the new world, I thought they would look great as loading screen backgrounds, so I quickly whipped these up!

There are 7 new loading screens, make sure you only use one at a time, and that includes my old ones (and any other loading screens from other creators).

BETTER BALL FIGHTS

This mod is an attempt at making snowball, mud and water balloon fights more dynamic. I almost never use the interaction cause it’s a little too clunky for me, so I tried to fix it.
I removed the reactions sims do when they hit someone/get hit, so now they will just throw, reposition, throw and so on. 
The animations can go slightly out of sync sometimes, I did all I could to reduce this, but it still happens since the inter...

BRIGHTER FOUNDATIONS

This mod is an attempt to fix the old issue of foundations being too dark and their colors never matching anything else.
There’s a darkening gradient applied to all buildings in the game which makes the bottom of walls look darker. It’s there to make them blend in with the environment, I suppose, but that comes at the expense of color fidelity.
What I did was change the darkening amount from 50% to 10%, and now the foundation textur...

This is a small mod that replaces the default textures for pool water and all its recolors. The intensity o...

PHONE CALL OVERHAUL

DESCRIPTION

This mod makes phone calls less intrusive by adding extra conditions for them to go through. Your sims will receive less calls when they’re sleeping, on low-energy, or on low-hygiene.They will no longer be invited to other lots when they’re on vacation, and won’t receive calls from ghosts or sims who are not their friends.
The game will also give priority to lots that are in the current world when your Sims are i...

WASTE MANAGER REWORK

I got really excited when reading about the new Reduce & Recycle lot trait from Eco Lifestyle, especially the part about external trashcans no longer being bottomless, and an NPC coming to empty them every week. That excitement quickly turned into disappointment when actually playing for the first time. I let my trashcans overflow and fill with flies and cockroaches, waited for a week and... nothing. No one showed up.
I immediately went to the files and fo...

SIM SPAWN OVERHAUL

DESCRIPTION

Do you ever think it’s weird that Bella Goth will go from Willow Creek all the way to Sulani for a morning jog? How about the fact that stray animals can only be found in Brindleton Bay?
This mod aims to fix those quirks and many others by changing how the game spawns Sims for various situations!
After installing the mod, features can be tweaked through an in-game menu that you can find by shift-cl...

RUN, DON’T JOG

DESCRIPTION

This mod alters the “Jog Here” interaction. Normally it only appears for sims with a high level on the Fitness skill. Now it’s called “Run Here”, appears for all sims and uses a much faster running animation.

An unused “Run Here Together” interaction is also unlocked, which can be used if your sims are part of a group.
Sims will also use this animation when autonomously running over long distances.<...

SNOWFLAKE DEFAULT REPLACEMENTS

This will replace the default snowflake texture, used when it’s snowing. There are multiple packages, pick only one.

I started just reducing the opacity of the default texture to make it a little less... intrusive, but then decided to make my own texture from scratch. I made it smaller, less crunchy, and gave it a little bit of depth. 

I recommend testing out in-game, cause the snowflakes can look very different when they’re in motion. The respective texture ...

Patch 1.63.133 Mod Update

Out of The Dark

CUBEMAP REMOVER

So, this is another one of my little attempts at making the game more visually enjoyable. To emulate believable reflections without setting fire to everyone’s computer, what most games do is use cubemaps. Simply put, they’re images layered underneath everything that move depending on the camera position. Parallax and all that stuff.

Now, what developers usually do for sandbox/open-world games is automatically generate cubemaps so that it actually looks like objects are reflecting th...

INTO THE LIGHT

This is long overdue. My Out Of The Dark mod is more than one and a half years old now, and I’ve been testing and tweaking with something similar, but for sims instead of walls, floors and objects. And here it is! 
This will remove the blue “aura” that surrounds sims when they’re in a dark space, and with “dark spac...

INTENSE FIRES

This mod has two modules and each does something different. You can use either or both.

INCREASED FIRE CHANCE

This increases the chance for a fire to start on all interactions that apply, including passive fires like those from a fireplace. 
There is also a bigger or smaller chance based on the sim’s current mood and traits:
50% increase - Uncomfortable, Tense, Angry, Dazed, Clumsy, Hot...

Magic Sage Attractors - Public Release

These are special objects made for people who want to recreate the Magic HQ building while maintaining the specific areas that belong to each of the Sages. Place one of these anywhere in the lot, and the corresponding Sage will stick around in its vicinity. They do wander around the rest of the building sometimes, but always return to these objects.

There are two options: Carpets and Paintings. The carpets have the symbols and colors associated with eac...
