I've been testing all of my mods since the patch yesterday, and haven't noticed any problems.
However, I have a couple of reports of people getting warnings from Better Exceptions that my Classic RPG Spells mod has problems.
Unfortunately, it's not reporting that to me in my game, and I haven't gotten any more details about it from anyone experiencing it yet.
So, I'm wondering if anyone else is ge...
2025-09-19 14:51:45 +0000 UTC View PostIt seemed to be primarily bug fixes, and didn't disable mods, so it seems safe. I ran the game this morning long enough to test a few things that have been problematic in the past, and so far, so good.
NOTE: I have a list of about a dozen relatively minor bugs for assorted mods of mine that users have brought to my attention that I'm working on right now. I'll get those posted ASAP! Nothing new added today, though.
Thanks for your support! And keep reporting bugs!

I decided to keep the Bushcraft skill in the mod as a separate skill, and added a thing to it as a bonus, based on feedback during our discussion about it in the previous post.
At level 4 of the Bushcraft skill, you can now build an improvised Woodworking Bench. Once you build one of these in y...

I've been stuck trying to figure out what to do with the Bushcraft skill before releasing the Druids mod since Enchanted by Nature came out. The Natural Living skill provides all the things I wanted from Bushcraft (not having to look for a bush to go to the bathroom or sleep in when my sims are in the wilderness), and even provides the tuning to teach classes in it.
I wasn't really able to...
2025-08-31 03:17:49 +0000 UTC View PostNo notes on recent 1.117 patch yet. I booted the game after the patch with all of my mods installed, played a sim for a few minutes, and did not get any exceptions, nor did Better Exceptions find any.
That being said, I didn't go through all of the mods to test their functionality yet, so silent failures would still be unnoticed.
I will post an updated notice if any problems are found. Let me know if you run into any issues.
Thanks for your support!

I overhauled the shape-shifting ability and settled in on 5 forms that Druids can eventually change into.
A Shrub. Your motives will be frozen, and you can cancel out of the interaction to change back into a Sim.
A Plant Sim.
A Kuo-Toa, an amphibious humanoid that can swim and dive like a mermaid.
A Sasquatch, with high fitness, immunity t...
2025-07-28 02:51:22 +0000 UTC View PostI updated Family History to include ancestry in the remaining regions, as of this release. This includes:
Tomarang
Ciudad Enamorada
Ravenwood
Nordhaven
Innisgreen
It also includes three new Legendary ancestors.
In addition, I made some adjustments to allow finding ancestors somewhat easier, especially after you've found a few of them. Researching gravestones is now available at Family Lore level 3...

2025-07-03 04:30:10 +0000 UTC View PostPatch Fixes for Enchanted by Nature!
The mods that I know need updates from this patch are listed here. If I discover more, I'll update that page and post the fix here.
I will update this post as I upload the mod updates so that you don't have to look around for them. I'll also update them on their original download pages.
Completed Patch Fixes
I just downloaded the latest patch for Enchanted by Nature, and it looks like a lot of my mods broke. Probably a lot of mods broke today, as there was a change to the game's script frameworks.
I will get them updated as soon as possible. I'm on vacation from my day job this week, so I should have time.
Thanks, and stand by for updates.
Mods Needing Updates (see Patch Fix page
Bugs addressed, and probably fixed: Issue saving or loading new lot after your sim becomes a Druid. This seems to be a DirectX issue, and as I have a Mac, have not replicated it yet. However, a helpful patron tried the DirectX image fix and it worked. I applied the same fix to the mod's source files as well as the final package so this should be addressed.

Lots of bug fixes in this update! New features include an aspiration (was in the last build, but wasn't fully enabled).

2025-06-19 02:37:30 +0000 UTC View PostI updated the Druid mod testing preview to 1.0.1b this morning. There are a number of bug fixes, better festival experiences and fixed some issues that surface while learning Druid spells if you aren't initially a Spellcaster.

The Freelance Entertainer mod adds an active-gig type Freelance career to the Sims 4. All active gigs are actually gigs — you perform shows at Lounges, wedding receptions, music festivals and more.
The jobs available are based somewhat on performance skills and largely on your sim’s fame. Unknown performers have to pull morning shifts, while famous players headline on the weekends. In addition to...

The Gundach Home Foundry handles smelting ore into ingots much more efficiently than the Smelting Station. There are also FLAMES! Unlike the Smelting Station, it requires some bits and pieces to operate, but since it's also a recycler, it's convenient to get them.

This preview contains bug fixes, advancement tuning, and removes an unwanted dependency on the Better Bars mod.
This should probably be about the last preview before I release it generally. I can keep thinking of features to add forever, lol, but it should be good enough to share more widely now (unless someone finds something in this one).
Bug fix release to fix one recent bug and several older ones that were recently reported to me.

Script errors in tags.py
Duplicated menus in some cases on terrain, dig piles and artifacts
Some historical books weren't increasing sim lore
Study for Historical Insights didn't always work correctly

There are a few Translations for some of my mods that generous players have made available.
