A new tropical plant for inside the tropical terraria, the mangrove palm!
The first image shows my terrarium object next to the original one. Then there's an image with all recolors I made for it and an example where I've placed a few of them inside the terrarium.
Hello all,
A new update on the plants I'm making that can be placed into the terrarium.
This time a plant that's especially useful in the tropical terraria, the so called ( by me), Planter without Box.
The first image shows the original object that sticks to walls. My first idea was to keep it that way as it sticked quite nice through the terrarium object. The problem though, was when you replaced the object, the hanging planter won't go with it as it was part of the wall inste...

I think the desert plants collection is complete now. It excist of 4 different plants, but with enough recolors for all of them to be able to create different looking terraria.
Like you see in the images above, these plants can be used in multiple ways. Of course as terrarium plants, but also in your garden. I might make a separate release of planters which you can then fill with all of these too. And remember that I will also make tropical plants for the tropic terrarium, which gives e...

Today I've focused a bit more on making recolors for the desert plants.
In the images above you see a few examples of those. The first image contains all original colored versions of the plants. They had only one recolor by default.
The other images show possible recolors of those. For the last image I've also switched to the other desert background.
I will also make an overview of all recolors for every single plant so far, which I will share later this week. :)

"Poison dart frog? Thought you were working on a terrarium?"
Yes, I still am. But sometimes I need to do something different and yesterday evening that was such a moment.
I thought if I use my animated placeable frogs mod, maybe I can change the texture and this way try to make new frog species for inside the terrarium. I think this first one looks quite good already! As you see there are two more swatches, but for both of them I'm not sure if I will keep them. After I made the one a...

For the past few days, I've seen myself getting close to 7K subscribers. Today I saw I made it! My subscribers count isn't that fast growing anymore as it did before, but I guess that might has to do with me uploading less often.
I prefer how it is going now though, as I feel less stressed giving myself more time to finish mods and there fore also taking more time to do other things I love. Like yesterday in the afternoon going outside when it was nice and warm for this time of the year...

I've worked on different plants today to make them suitable (in size) for the desert themed terrarium. I've used both debug plants as well as plants that can normally be found inside a pot. All can be placed on the deco slots I've added to the terrarium.
When resizing the plants, they will still stick to the slots which gives even more ways of decorating it. I will probably search for a few more desert plants and will also start to make recolors for all of them. I might add more d...

A small update on the terrariums about two tropical background I've added. It isn't a very big change, but it does give a whole new look to the terrarium compared to the two desert backgrounds.
These will better suit the terrarium if frogs are placed inside of them or the green or blue colored iguanas.
The mini-fallen-trunk in the terrarium is actually a 1x enlarged version of the one I made that can also be placed inside the small snail terrarium. I'm also working on the plants t...

I still had to share the last room with you all, so here it is, the pc/terrarium room!
For this particular room I worked on the most custom content as I had to find ways to make it look as if there were terrariums in this room.
The first small one is for snails. They have enormous snails (Achatina fulica), also known as Giant African land snails. This small terrarium is made out of a small display case where normally a typewriter can be found in. I've removed the typewriter,...

The first floor! I didn't make screenshots of the 'empty' room in the upper left corner as it only has a few plants and a litter box and the hallway as it looks a bit strange with the sloped roof. I've also didn't include the lower right corner yet as I want to give that room some special attention later.
Bedroom
So let's start with the bedroom. All colors are quite the same as in their room, the only thing I had to recolor myself was the bed to match more with the w...
Ground floor overview + garage
The first screenshot shows an overview of the other side of the ground floor with the garage in the lower right corner. The only new object in here is the shrinked down and placed against the wall fishing rod.
Hallway
The only new object in the hallway is the 'ixxi' of the Flamingo, which is exact the same one as in their house. I had quite some trouble with the platform incombination with the stairs and the sloped r...
I'm sorry for the lack of content this week, but I just haven't got much time yet to work on The Sims. I will try to upload the entire house in screenshots today together with some more info about it. I'm starting with an overview of the ground floor and the living room.
Outdoor Back Garden
As I didn't mention it in my former post, the 'cage' on the outside of the house is for their cats (It's called a catio, I know for like 2 minutes now.) In real life their cats ca...
Hello everybody,
Some time back I told you about the side-project I had for a friend of mine.
Now the time has come I can finally share it!
The house visible on the screenshots above is my friend's house in real life, but then created in The Sims 4 by myself. The reason he asked me to help him, is because he wanted to make a proposal to his girlfriend IN The Sims 4! As he doesn't play The Sims himself, he asked me to help him, so I did!
If you're wo...

During the weekend I got a message from mspr1nt from Extra Time Media, if I would be interested in an interview for her website.
Maybe you've also read the interview she did with Ravasheen (RVSN) recently. If you didn't it's a really nice article about when Rava started playing The Sims and her road to the point where's she's now.

Animated - Placeable Creatures - Onibi
This invisible object has the possibility to spawn all colored Onibi.
Your Sims can also make wishes upon them, take selfies with them or take pictures of them. For more info and tips and tricks, take a look at the video.
Now go spawn Onibi everywhere!

I've Finished the thumbnail for the Animated Onibi mod.
I figured that making the thumbnail have the 'happy look', probably works better then the dark mysterious look.
Tomorrow the mod will be released together with the showcase video for everyone to enjoy, but as the mod itself is already finished, I give you the change to download it already (Attachment).
As already mentioned before, I recommend that you only download this mod if you have the Sno...

I've decided to add another outro scene as the other one is so dark and the Onibi can also be used for 'happy' scenes. I've also used it together with the other colored Onibi to make a screenshot for the thumbnail (which I still need to make).
Another thing I will be doing for this mod, is that I will mention on the thumbnail that it requires you to have the Snowy Escape expansion pack. As you might know, all visual effects get patched in, so all are visible with only the base game. As ...

I've just recorded the outro scene for the showcase video about the Animated Onibi and thought that it would be nice to share a screenshot of it too.
Besides the Onibi floating above the water surface, I've also used my animated sprites, glowing crystals and a few more of my mods to give it this mysterious look.
I think this is also the first time I used my own blue and purples colored walk-through grasses😁.
As promised a sneak peek of all the Onibi colors and a bit more info about what I've added.
First of all, the Onibi colors you can choose from are Blue, Green, Orange, White and Yellow.
These can all be selected by clicking the color swatch with the same color. The recolor tool won't work on this object as to be able to add the other recolors too, I had to add different tuning to each swatch.
Now normally I would make these invisible objects only 1x1 tile, but in this case I've ch...

I wanted to let you all know that the Onibi mod has been finished, but I don't have enough time this week to make the video and upload it already as the side project that needs to be finished this friday too is more important at the moment.
Also as I need to help this friend friday morning with importing a few things in his girlfriend's game as he doesn't know how it all works 😅. I'm happy if I can share with you all where I worked on, also as I made some new objects...

As we had a lot of snowfall the past few days and I had to recover my car from under the ice and take a bit more care of my birds and the garden, I still haven't had time to work behind my pc since saturday. The time I did had, was for the side project which needs to be finished this week too.
On top of that, the roller shutter from my working room is also stuck because of the ice, so I don't have natural light in my room now😅. Of course I do have normal ceiling...

Today I've worked on the 'Take photo' interaction with it's own custom interaction queue icon, thought balloon icon and custom buff.
Instead of recieving a happy moodlet for 4 hours, like with the "take selfie' interaction, performing the 'take photo' interaction gives your Sim an inspired moodlet for 4 hours.
I've also wrote a buff describtion which I think sounds fine... It's strange how difficult it is to write these things. Hope you like the outcome though.
The next things ...

Finally after a long day of working on this mod I've got the first custom interaction and buff finished. I had a lot of trial and errors today..
As can be seen in the screenshot above, I've made a custom Interaction queue thumbnail and thought balloon while doing the 'Take selfie with Onibi' interaction.
After this interaction, the Onibi Selfie! buff will appear which will give your Sim a happy mood for 4 hours.
The next thing I will be working on is the 'Take picture of Onibi'...
2021-02-02 15:37:59 +0000 UTC View PostI've worked a bit more on the new object that now only spawns the blue colored Onibi, but eventually will spawn all other colors too by choosing another swatch.
In my former post I mentioned that the original interactions of collecting and making wishes upon the Onibi won't be part of this object, but I've decided to keep the wishing interaction and add a few other interactions too. The reason of not including the collecting interaction, is because first of all my Sim would only c...

I've got it working to the point that I can make a Sim start sledding, but the entire animation of a Sim doing so can't be changed. This resulted in a Sim sledding underground or in mid-air and ending outside of the lot.

2021-01-27 17:01:53 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone,
My next project might be ending in failure as I've got an idea for the mod, but no idea how to execute it yet. It's about the bunny slope in Mt. Komorebi. I think it would be cool if I can make something so you can let your Sims ski, snowboard or sledge down a small hill on your own lot too. But this might be an idea which is not executable for me. Only time will tell!
I've also got a side project (Sims related) for a friend which has to be finished in a week or tw...

Rock Climbing Park - National Park
After my Rock Climbing Cliffs showcase video, many people asked where they could download the lots I've made for that video. Like always I had to answer that they couldn't be downloaded as they were just made for the video and unfinished. I then decided that this was a good moment to make the second episode for my Bakie's Builds series on Youtube and there fore finish one of the lots and release it to the community.

Ready to start editing the video after I finished the thumbnail and recorded the voice over!
Tomorrow there will be a new video again, finally!
I've done some more testing with the lot while making screenshots and videos for the final video and found a few things you need to take a look at after placing the lot in your game.
Large rock
First of all, sometimes the large rock in the front right corner doesn't get placed. It can help to replace the entire lot out of Build mode, instead of placing when viewing the world map. It's also helpful to activate the moveobjects on cheat before placing the lot. ...
Hello all,
To start this week good and also because last week I didn't upload that much, I'm going to do an early access on the Rock Climbing Park lot. This serves both for you as a thank you for being so patient as well as for having the possibility to test the lot. If there're any problems (other then mentioned below), please let me know.
There're are a few important things you should know.
Installation:
First of all, in the zip files attached to this ...
