Let's Talk Rabbit Hole Shells

I recently released the Film Reaper Movie Theater which converted a rabbit hole shell into a separated object that can be placed on any lot and remain functional. 

I have heard from many of you that you want the same for other shells in the game (such as the university buildings and courthouse). 

So let's talk about the existing rabbit hole shells and what I can do to make them accessible anywhere! 

I will also be giving you a quick peek and the upcoming Absol...

Film Reaper Movie Theater

The movie theater rabbit hole in Growing Together was wonderful... except for the inability to access those movies anywhere besides that one lot in San Sequoia. So I fixed that by creating two items: one is the movie theater marquee extracted from the movie theater building and the other is a movie poster.

Both the poster and marquee function the exact same as the movie theater in San Sequoia with the ability to place on any lot and remain functional!

Let's talk movie poster first...

Rise & Sign - Beachy Store Front

I loved the beachy/boardwalk vibe of the world for the new Growing Together pack so I pulled out all the signage I could so you could all recreate your own storefronts! There are a lot of signs for both the front of stores and a few decals to use on walls or windows (BGC shhhhhhh).

I am obsessed store-themed objects so I named the the overall set Rise & Sign with this being the Beachy version. I did this because I plan to build more on this set in the future with extracted signs fro...

Tutorial: Add Screenshots to Objects

A question that I get asked more than anything else is if I can add screenshots to the Photographic Memory Mod. I so wish I could do this, but it seems almost impossible even after asking other creators for help. So I thought I could show you all a quick and easy way to add your screenshots (or any image) to in game objects.

This can be done even by the most absolute beginner. I will be using almost all BGC objects in this tutorial and will upload templates at the end of the livestream....

"Look What I Drew" - 48 Individual Sketches

There were so many great items with the new Growing Together pack! I loved the little big cork board with kids art but it is limited in use. So I pulled all the drawings off and made each one a separate object. Nothing too exciting but I love, love some of these artworks - especially the ones with the hand prints! Since it took a bit of work to separate these I made them BGC (shhhh!).

  • 48 individual sketches
  • 12 styles
  • 4 swatches each

Epic Collage Frames

Sul sul simmies!!

I am so excited about the new updates! Luckily my stuff didn't have any huge breaks with the patch or EP, but I am deep in a lot of small fixes. I will be posting a list and updated/improved/fixed sets shortly!

In the meantime, I had to release a photo collage "add-on" set. I loved that EA added these new collage frames  Since these are mostly single frames, they can be used on their own to create your own custom collage. They also match the new EA picture f...

Llama Love You Forever

sul sul simmies!

As you may have noticed I have been a bit less active the past few weeks - I was struggling with my mental health. I'm lucky I have a supportive family so I went and stayed with my momma for a few weeks to heal my heart and mind. I am really sorry for my absence - I am feeling so much better and inspired for ~infants~!! More on that later...

I made this set originally for Valentine's Day, but I totally changed the direction of it to make it a daily dose of in-game...

OMSP+ Series

My version of the OMSP+ has been a work in progress for years - I actually showed the original version of this in my very first livestream in February 2021!

What sets this version of OMSP(+) from existing options is that it gives you free, unlimited vertical placement even when it is not placed against a wall.

Website Changes

Sul sul simmies!!

I just wanted to let you all about some new changes to my site - specifically there are now ads.

I have always wanted to make my site the one place on the internet where you weren't bombarded by ads. But like many of you I am feeling the impacts of the inflation and the current economic state. Running my site costs me over $500 a month just to handle the traffic and offer things like a different experience for logged in users. As much as I want to keep paying thi...

Status Show TV - BGC

Simple set for you today and is object-based (instead of tuning heavy) which I haven't made in a long time!

Whenever you aren't using it, it visually looks like an art print, but when your sims wants to watch TV it is a fully functional TV. If you just like to build houses, the initial placement looks like the art print! It only changes to a TV in live mode when actively watching it.

This is base game compatible and can be found under electronics. Each art print is available in 13...

Bus Upon a Time - Travel Mod

You all asked for it so here it is - a huge expansion to the bus stop that I released with Filthy Fabulous Part II!

This is a completely stand alone mini mod that adds tons of travelling interactions! Note: some travel options are limited to specific packs (see below for more details).

I covered this in my livestream yesterday which you can see here for how to use!

HNY & Upcoming Set DL Link

2022 - it's been a hell of a year... both good and bad. After this time, I first wanted to tell you was that the love you have shown me, and one another, has forever changed me. I have never experienced so much kindness, whether online or in real life, as I have with you all. I can honestly say it is what kept my head above water this year and is the reason I have optimism for the future.

I have felt a self-inflicted guilt for not providing you with the experience I did in the past. I w...

CC Graveyard Set - Part 1

This is a random assortment of items that I started and ended up not including in the final sets/publishing - which means they were moved to my dreaded CC graveyard! We went through these items together during my live stream last week and you all choose which ones you wanted to see resurrected!

I am continuing to go through more CC graveyard items 2022-12-15 15:14:42 +0000 UTC View Post

I had to switch to Thursday this week only. Same time! :)

I will be streaming on twitch and youtube. If you can't tune in live, you can also watch anytime after on YouTube or on Twitch for up to two weeks after!

Happy Llamakkah Set

This set is not as big as I had originally planned, but for the sake of finishing it I am going to release it with the items I have done. I plan to do a much larger set for Passover!

The main feature of this set is the menorah. The current EA menorahs only gives you two options - either light a candle one at a time as a single sim or light all candles at once as a family. This menorah lets you light one candle at a time - both with the whole family/roommates or solo. Al...

After 3 months, I ~finally~ have a proper Salebration fix for you!

I also have a quick fix for The Sims Daily mod which is mostly for convenience - nothing game breaking. My sister just told me it was annoying how the old newspapers don't stack in her sim's inventory so I fixed that :)

In addition, I finally figured out why some simmer's would always get the 'No counterspace available' error when using...

Update & WIP & Livestreams & Life

I recorded a more personal video for you all so I could talk intimately about where I am at and life in general... but I got a cat. And he got in the way... however, his presence was much more positive/hilarious and I hope he can lift your spirits for a moment so I ended up posting this instead. Hopefully I get the courage to post the rest of the video for you all, but until then I wrote it out in my signature novel-style.

Anywayssss... I have been in a funk (if you didn't notice) and I...

The Sims Daily - Functional Newspaper, Stand, & Subscription

UPDATE 11/28/22:
I have released an updated version 1.0.1 that changes how the newspapers are stored in your sim's inventory. My sister has been testing this for over a week and she said it was super annoying to have so many newspapers in her inventory. So now all expired newspapers "stack" in one cell (so you can sell/dispose of them all at once) and any current newspapers will be in their own inventory slot. Once a newspaper becomes expired, it will go into the stack of ...

Functional Punch Bowls - 2 sets!

There are two sets included in this post:

  • Here for the Boos
  • Beat Me to the Punch

Both are BGC, functional punch bowl sets! 

This idea actually came about when I was making my Halloween set and I made some punch bowls in a spooky-theme. But, alas, I did not release this set in time for IRL Halloween. Instead of dumping this set into the dreaded CC graveyard, I decided to make some more everyday-themed punch bowls to release along with spooky-themed p...

Loud & Cheer - Invisible Cheer Mats

Quick, simple mod for you simmies today!

The cheer mats from High School Stories simplified & made invisible - both for solo and group options! The visible option is just the corners of the mat taped, but you can completely hide it at anytime by clicking on the mat in live mode.

All interactions can be performed even when the mats are hidden. The mats also do not cause any routing issues and are just like if you placed a rug!

Take A Dance On Me - No Autonomous Dancing

Hi simmies & friends!

Small mini-mod for you today that prevents all sims from autonomously dancing! This was a popular request by patrons and while I was testing this I realized what a nuisance it was. Many of you said you wanted to create an ambience with music without having sims always autonomously going to dance to the music.

Stereos use what is called a broadcaster which essentially makes sims within a certain area have an extreme desire to dance. I made this sign to hav...
