Wedding & What's next (Modding-wise)?

Hello everyone,

First of all, I'm a married man now! Everything went as we hoped for or better, so I've had a fantastic wedding. Also because we had a Harris Hawk to bring our rings and we did a cool photo shoot with that bird as well as with a Indian Eagle Owl and a beautiful white Gyrfalcon (Makes someone who loves birds really happy😃). We also went on a pre-honeymoon to Vienna for a couple of days where besides seeing some beautiful buildings, we also saw the European hamster on a...

🎉New Mod / New Video : Invisible Gate 2.0🎉

📺 Finally I've also made a new video to go with the mod again!
In this video you will see and hear exact the same info as written down below, but it all makes more sense with in-game examples. To see the video, click the link:

Before talking about the gate, I'm sorry for the lack of updates. My wedding is coming very close now (next week) and that still takes a lot of my time (and peace of mind) away...

🎉New CurseForge Mod: Animated Wallpaper - Matrix🎉

Hello everyone,

I've added a new mod which was made a long time ago to my CurseForge profile!
This time it's about my Animated Matrix Wallpaper which was first released in may, 2017.

============================

About the Animated Wallpaper - Matrix
If you've seen the Matrix movies, then this might look familiar to you. With this animated wallpaper I tried to make it look like the green strings of binary codes are raining down your walls. Good rooms t...

👁‍🗨 Early Access (Sort of): CurseForge mod - Animated Wallpaper - Matrix

As I didn't felt like making a sneak peek video yesterday evening about the invisible gate, I decided to work on adding another one of my older mods to CurseForge.

Animated Wallpaper - Matrix
I've made it back in 2017 and it looks a bit like the green strings of binary codes that can be seen in The Matrix movies, raining down from your walls. It looks quite nice in nerdy or geeky rooms or some sort of science lap for example.

For a closer look, take a look at...

Sneak Peek Images - WIP Info + Invisible Gate - Fence Tool

Sorry for the delay, but with the wedding coming close at the end of this month, we still need to work on some finishing touches with all kind of things and people. :)

About the Invisible Gate + Fence Tool
As the images above show, my invisible gate will work in the same way as other gates do when placed in between fences placed with the fence tool. In most circumstances, this looks quite nice, but some may look a bit strange. I've already figured out how to make thi...

Sneak Peek Image - Invisible Gate - WIP info + Footprint

Back with another small update. I've changed the footprint from a 1x2 tiles, like the original gates have, to a 1x 0.5 tile footprint.
Normally the 1x2 footprint kind of warns you for the space the gate needs to open and close. In this case though, as it's invisible, that's unnecessary. Of course your Sim or pet still needs room to walk through the gate.

One of the next things I'll need to do, is testing how much room you need for Sims and such to walk through. I also need to test ...

Sneak Peek Image - Invisible Gate - WIP Info + Gate Shadow

Live mode > Build Mode
An update on my WIP of my invisible gate. As expected, I can't make the gate work in the same way as the invisible fence 2.0 works. Or I can, but then you can't use the gate anymore.. So not really useful to have a gate without options.

But there's another way to make objects invisible, so that's what I used for this gate too. The only thing what's different compared to the invisible fence 2.0, is that you can't see the gate at all.  S...

Collections have been added!

🚨 My Invisible Fence 2.0 has been UPDATED!

Hello everybody,

It's time for an updated mod again, this time just a small one though.
A few people pointed out to me that the smalles wall of my Invisible Wall 2.0 had a footprint bigger then it needed to be. So I've fixed it!

I've also made a minor change to the object's catalog description, but nothing life changing. :)

Invisible Gate
I think this is also a good moment to share that I'm working on an Invisible Gate to go with these fences! With...

Invisible Fence 2.0 - Small Wall Footprint Fix

As you can see at the image above, the small wall now has a more reasonable 1 tile footprint instead of a 2 tile footprint like the larger invisible wall has.

I hope to be able to get the updated version up for public release later today. :)

Invisible Gate (for with the fences 2.0) + Fence Fix

Hi all,

The next things I will be working on and already started with, is fixing an issue with the footprint of the Invisible Fence 2.0 and trying to make an invisible gate to go with the fences.

Invisible Fence 2.0 - Fix
As for the update on the invisible fence 2.0. Someone pointed out to me that the footprint of the smallest invisible fence is too large for the object. Right now the biggest invisible fence has a 2x0.25 tile footprint and the small version ha...

🎉Two New CurseForge Mods: Animated Wallpapers - Sharks🎉

Hello everyone,

I've added two more mods which were made a long time ago (and for which one has been slightly changed now), to my CurseForge profile!
This time it's about two Animated Wallpapers with sharks which were first released in february, 2017.

============================

About the Animated Wallpapers: Great White Sharks + Hammerhead Sharks
For both wallpapers count, that sharks will swim from left to right on your wall and also move slowly fr...

🎉New Mod: Unlocked - Horse Ranch Rock Pack🎉

Unlocked - Horse Ranch Rock Pack
This pack adds 8 unlocked rocks from the Horse Ranch EP to the outdoor build category. Having these rocks available in build mode, makes it easier to let lots build in Chestnut Ridge, to better blend in with it surroundings. It also gives you more freedom to variate in the landscape instead of only using the single cluster of rocks that was added...

Unlocked Rock Pack release + New CurseForge mods

I finally had some time (and peace of mind) to work on releasing the Unlocked Rock Pack and work on the two CurseForge uploads.

The result is that today finally my Unlocked Rock Pack will be released to the public and that my Animated Wallpaper - Great White Sharks and the Animated Wallpaper - Hammerhead Sharks have been uploaded to CurseForge. Not approved yet, but when they will, I will let you know!

Later this weekend I will ...

🎉New Mod: Buy / Build Mode - Wrench Icon Hider🎉

Hello everyone,

Due to the new patch, all cc wrench mods are broken. Now I normally download ClaudiaSharon's CC Wrench Mod, but as her's isn't updated yet for the latest patch, I've made my own version again.

Be aware that this only removes the Wrench icon in Buy / Build Mode and not on other places in game (So not in CAS or the gallery possibly), s...

Working on adding more mods to CurseForge

Besides I still need to make some screenshots for releasing the Unlocked Rock Pack, I've also worked a bit on making older mods to be ready to be added to my CurseForge account.

Animated Wallpapers - Sharks
I didn't added them yet, but I hope to be able to add my Animated Wallpaper - Great White Shark and my Animated Wallpaper - Hammerhead Sharks to my CurseForge account real soon. In case of the Great White Sharks,...

Sneak Peek Images - Boulder Rock - Deco Slots

So here are all 10 deco slots visible for the Boulder Rock. As some are placed on smaller rock ledges, they're only usable for smaller animals like pigeons, seagulls and iguanas. A few, like the one on top can also be used for larger animals like the steelpecker.

Sneak Peek Images - Boulder Rock - Example Combinations

Some examples on how well these boulder rocks combine with the other rocks in this pack.
As you can see, both the rock without moss as the one with moss combine perfectly by the Horse Head Rock.

The third recolor fits a bit less, but rocks can't have always the exact same color!
Remember that you can resize the rocks to create even more variation in your landscape. The only downside is that deco slots will not resize with the object, but stay at the exact same height and place. T...

Sneak Peek Images - Boulder Rock - Recolors

First of all, sorry for the delay. Thought last week wouldn't be as busy as it eventually was. But we're back at working on Sims mods again and so I can show you the final rock which will be  part of the rock pack.

As you can see there will be 3 recolors to choose from. All will fit quite nicely to the other rocks in this pack which I will show you in my next post.

Sneak Peek Images - Skirt (Dress) Rocks - Decoration + Info final rock

Example of how you can decorate around the Skirt- and Skirt Dress rock to hide sharp edges of the mesh and to make the pathing around them to look more realistic.

Final Rock
There is one final rock I would like to add to this rock pack. It's the rock you can see all around chestnut ridge but placed down in different ways and sizes. Sometimes side-ways, the other time straight up. In my case I will only add the straight up placed one, as otherwise you will get really ...

Sneak Peek Image - Skirt Rock + Deco Slots

Then next rock object, is this Skirt Dress rock. Also for this one counts, named by EA this way.  I think it's just a rock. :)

This rock comes with 8 small deco slots. The deco slots placed on the edges of the rock can probably only be used by birds as all other objects will balance on the edge, like my animated iguanas. No pathing changed around this one either, so placing plants around it will probably look more realistic when Sims walk around the object.
