Multi-Purpose Furniture: Seating/Bookshelves

This one was super tricky and I almost gave up on it before getting a request for it. But there's a trick to it. Each piece of furniture is actually two objects. I split the books from the seat and divided the original object cost between them (§50 for the books and the rest is the seat).

Patron Poll - June Gift

Now that I have more than a couple patrons I figure I'll ask for some feedback before putting together June's gift.

What type of download appeals more to you?

If you have specific ideas let me know in the comments!

Home Repair: Damaged Walls

  • Looking to post this in the next week. I'm giving my translators a little time with it first and then I'll get it to you!

Feed Your Plants: Waterable Indoor Plants

  • Pretty much the same as my pet feeding mods, but for plants. It's nothing super in depth, but I think it adds a bit of realism.

P.R.I.M.A. Pro Laptop

A higher-end version of the P.R.I.M.A. Laptop I just released. This version has more colorful lights and better stats, but will cost your sims a bit more at §4250.

Just like the basic one, this this is a brand new, basegame compatible object based off existing EA objects.

P.R.I.M.A. Laptop

There is only one basegame laptop and it's locked behind a career. That annoyed me so I decided to make my own, using that one as a base and snagging the logo from a desktop computer. This is also my first mesh edit!

UPDATE 6/19/23

So I guess there was a thing with creators sharing their patron's data?

And I just wanted to make it clear that I haven't and I won't.

I might message my patrons through Patreon, but I won't email them and the links I share for example on my Thank You and Translations pages are provided to me for the purpose of sharing them.

If you've ever provided me with informati...

More Storage - Science Mini Fridge

No longer is the Chill Box 9200 a useless end table! Now it can function as a mini fridge as it always should have (I actually debated really hard with myself about whether this should be in the "Should Have Been" mod series or this one)

This object is an override of a GTW object, given mini fridge tuning and moved the the Refrigerators category.

Please note that the door does not animate, but sims animate like they're opening it anyway. It doesn't seem to cause a...

Occult: PlantSim Spawner

This is something very different from what I usually make, but I'm really excited about it!

This mod adds a new object with new functionality. A new way to get PlantSims!

IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ THE REQUIREMENTS!

  • Updated for infants.

More Storage: Medicine Cabinets

I know a few other people have done medicine cabinet mods but none of them were exactly what I was looking for so I made my own.

This turns some bathroom mirrors and cabinets into storage chests. They share storage with one another and with other chests (unless you have a mod for that). The mirrored ones still have the essential mirror functionality as well as storage functionality.

Objects Recolors: Alien Dolls & Poster

I love all the real life diversity that the Sims has started adding! I try to always give my sim children toys that can represent them, the kind that parents would want their kids to have.

Then my sim had an alien child and I realized that all the dolls are human! So, not wanting her to feel left out, I came up with a few toy recolors. And when I decided to share them with you I put together a poster to go along with them!

This overrides the original objects (that...

CAS Items: Darker Graying Brown Hair

It bothers me so much that we have all these different shades of brown hair but if you want your sim to be graying they have to have the bright brown. So when I started playing a legacy for the first time and wanted my founder to gray more naturally I realized I needed to make a darker version of her hair. And then I thought, why not make all the hairs?

Obviously that's quite an undertaking, even if each one doesn't take crazy long to make. So now these are being released one pack at a ...

Decor with a Purpose: Useful Hand Soap

I finally figured out what I wanted to do for hand soap! It's actually based on some existing functionality in the game: the soap dispenser upgrade that sinks can get.

UPDATE 9/5/23:

Real Life Update

The good news is I got a job! As much as I love and appreciate my Patrons, this is definitely needed and I'm super grateful that is was an easy job hunt this time around.

The less good news is that now I'll have less time to devote to modding, starting the 14th. Fortunately, this is still remote so I'll be home during the day and probably still pretty responsive on the Discord server, but I won't be posting mods and u...

CAS Items: Club Hat For Kids

I hadn't played a whole lot with clubs so I was surprised to recently discover that the kids' club I had bought hats for couldn't wear them. And then when I didn't find CC for it I decided to make it myself.

Decor with a Purpose: Usable Toothbrushes

This mod is a little different and it does a few things. First, it disables brushing your teeth without a hidden buff. With the base version of the mod, all you have to do to get the buff is to place a toothbrush object and be near it.

Object Recolors: Blarffy

I didn't like the bright pink and blue versions of Blarffy so I added versions that just change the ribbon color to pink and blue. Then I decided that wasn't enough so I made a set of more muted colors. It's nothing fancy or exciting but I like the new options better than the originals (although I left the bright ones there in case you like them too)

Decor with a Purpose: Functional Sunblock

Now you don't need to already be sunbathing to apply sunblock! Using this object applies the same Island Living sunblock buff that prevents sunburn. They can even use it from their inventory!

UPDATE 8/15/23:

Oops

So clearly I still have no clue how to use Patreon because I accidentally delayed the patron gift going public by a day instead of a month.

Well enjoy the early release I guess. Happy assorted December holidays to everyone!

Object Recolors: NanoCan

The NanoCan is a cool object because it lets your sims earn money from throwing things away, but it never matches anything so you have to choose between the functionality and a coherent kitchen color scheme.

So I made new swatches without the bright blue that are more likely to actually match a room. They still look a bit scifi with the lights, but that's because the lights are functional when the object does its thing. Plus I like scifi.

Patron Bonus

As a new month approaches, for the first time I have an actual patron! While I have no intention of locking my mods behind a paywall I do want to do something nice.

So I've decided that starting in December I'm going to upload a monthly gift to patrons. It won't be any new functionality (just little stuff like recolors) and the following month it will become available to everyone so please don't feel like you need to subscribe or miss out.

This isn't meant to be an incentive and I...

Another pretty simple mod to make books stuck to an object actually functional. The fireplace still functions as normal, but now you can get books from it as well.

Multi-Purpose Furniture: Fireplace/Mirrors

Now the fireplaces with built-in mirrors can actually serve as mirrors while still having their fireplace functionality. I have not included the clothes-changing mirror functionality because the menu was so cluttered with it and it seemed silly to change clothes at the fireplace anyway.

Personal Update 10/18

Hey, I haven't really been around for the past week and I figured I'd explain what was going on.

For the past 8 years I've had the sweetest, most friendly cat imaginable in my life. He was basically my shadow and was always with me cuddling or just hanging out. But last week my baby got very sick very suddenly and we had to say goodbye to him. I've been a mess and haven't been up for sitting at my computer without him until I forced myself to do it today.

I'm slowly getting back t...
