Sneak Peek Image - Slot Direction

Something I forgot to mention in my former post and what's better visible in this screenshot, is that the deco slot direction is set to outside. In my opinion, it's fine this way as it's nicer to look at the front of a bear from outside then to it's back.

Of course just as with all other deco slots in game, you can rotate the object for if you do want to look at the front from inside. This might be used when placing picture frames or cooking decoration in the kitchen.

Sneak Peek Images + English text help needed

Hello everyone,

The first 3 windows have been 'slotted'. You might notice though that for the short version of this 'Angled Box' window, the texture seems to be broken. I have no idea if this is something which is happening in everyones game or just in some as I didn't see many other people talking about it. Just a few.

In the second image you'll see I've 'slotted' it anyway. Maybe if it gets fixed by EA, the slotted override will still work.
As for the slots theirselfs, I've a...

Next project!

Hello all,

Hope you had a lovely weekend?
As the bone fish object has been released last week, it's time for something new!

This time it won't have anything to do with certain effects as something I noticed when looking through the Eco Lifestyle objects, was that the windows with the inside windowsills, didn't had the option to place decoration on top of it... why not?

So that's what I will be adding small and medium deco slots to all Eco Lifestyle windows with windowsill...

New Mod / Video!

Animated - Animated - (Filthy) Bone Fish + Eagle
This project started with just the bone fish and the possibility to spawn an eagle effect.
In the end much more was added!

For more info and tips and tricks, take a look at the video.

Goal Reached: 50 Patrons!

I just noticed my 50th patron has joined in. So Veronica, thank you for completing my goal!
I'm aware of the fact that some of you might delete your pledge at some point which will make the total of supporters less then 50, but I did reach it!

I really didn't expect this to happen when I started my Patreon page a few years ago, so I'm really thankful for all of your support. I hope my mods will keep getting better and will keep being fun enough to place into other people's games too....

Sneak Peek Image - Example Scene

My last sneak peek for today!
I'm planning to include this lot/scene in my video too as the bone fish objects perfectly fits in this ocean/beach scene. In scenes like this one I won't use the eagle effect version, but the one that has the optional filthy vfx and maybe the uncomfortable mood.

I've also added a lot of my older mods to this scene which will all be linked in the showcase video description. Maybe it's also an idea to share the lot iself at some point, but I still have one...

Sneak Peek Images - FOUR Swatches + Tooltips

Yesterday I mentioned I would add a second and third swatch, but after thinking about adding as much different possibilites as possible, I made 4 different swatches.
In the object catalog this will be shown as 4 colorstripes in the colors green, yellow, orange and red. Each of these swatches will all have another kind of tuning, which makes the recolor tool unusable in game for this object. So you need to decide in the catalog what object you want to use by selecting the desired swatch. 2020-06-25 13:46:33 +0000 UTC View Post

Sneak Peek Image - Custom On/Off Switch + Inventory

I already promised the sneak peek about the custom On/Off switch for yesterday, but as it's incredibly hot at the moment here in The Netherlands and I didn't wanted to melt away on my room, I skipped it yesterday.

Today, I was up early and worked on a few other things for this mod too, which I'm going to share with you in the upcoming posts.

Custom On/Off Switch
But let's start with the custom switch. In the image above you see the icon and text that will show ...

Sneak Peek Image - Bone Fish - Eat Fish Interaction (Cat)

In the above image the 'eat fish' interaction for cats is shown. This will be an automatic interaction for cats as well as an optional interaction when using the Controllable Pets mod.

As the eating animation is copied from the fish pile, the head of the cat is floating a bit above the fish and small chunks of fish/scales will fall from it's mouth every now and then.

I'm a...

Sneak Peek Image - Filthy Fish Buff

Here it is, the Custom Filthy Fish Buff which gives your Sims an uncomfortable mood when being near. When walking away from the bone fish, the uncomfortable mood will disappear too!  😀 

This is the scene I mentioned in the former post by the way, but I found another scene quite the same as this one in another save file which looks better (Although it doesn't has the animated whales visible in the screenshot above). That other one does has the lighthouse light mod, sharks an...

Updated - Unlocked (Walkable) Docks

While working on the Bonefish and it's cat interaction, I tested it in an older save file where these docks were part of the lot and where a cat was part of the household.

Looking at the docks I noticed that they had the problem of seeing other object's shadows right through them. As I might want to use this lot in my video,  I've decided to fix it right away.

So if you haven't seen these (walkable) docks before, be sure to check the video.
If you do know of it, then here'...

New idea for Bonefish

Hello everybody!
I've just had a new idea for the bone fish, but I still need to get it working together with the other things I've already added. 

My idea was to also add an interaction for cats. The fishpile objects in game have an interaction for a cat to eat it for example. As my single fish is almost the same, I think that it would be a nice additional interaction for this object. So far though, I can't get it to work allongside the other visual effects. So it needs some mo...

Sneak Peek Image - Bone Fish - Custom Buff Icon

The image above shows the custom buff icon I made for the bone fish after a Sim has come near AND after the additional visual effects have been switched on at least one time.
If you don't switch on the additional green smoke and flies, the uncomfortable mood won't appear either. This is for if you want to use the bone fish only for spawning the eagle up in the air and hide the object itself.

After switching on the additional effects to make the fish to look a bit more filthy, the moo...

Sneak Peek Image - Bone Fish + VFX

First of all, the new object is not going to release this week. There have been quite some days I wasn't home much and that will continu the upcoming days. So the bone fish with all attached visual effects will probably be released next friday.

I do have some more small things to share though, starting with the screenshot above.
As you can see I have found 2 perfectly matching effects to make the bone fish to look more filthy. After using the switch on interaction, a small green smok...

Sneak Peek Image - Eagle VFX

I did some more today besides only adding the Eagle vfx, but I've spend quite some time doing tests with it.
First of all, right now it's flying way too low above the ground. It's easy to fix that, but for the other testing I did, it was more handy to keep it low for now.

The 'problem' it's having I discovered, and that isn't something I can fix, is that after it appears it will fly around until 6pm. Then it will disappear...for good.  😅 It might re-appear after a few in-game...

Next Animated Animal Project!

Hello all,

The Aurora mod has been finished and uploaded, so now it's time for a new idea.
As Sims 4 Studio hasn't been updated yet to support Eco Lifestyle mods, I need to take a look at one of my older ideas.

A few weeks ago I already shared the idea of making an object that would be possible to spawn an eagle circling high up in the air so this week that will be my goal. The eagle effect I'm going to use is the one that can be seen above the lake in Granite Fall.
As in...

New Mod / Video!

Animated - Mysterious Polaroid - Aurora
With the Eco Lifestyle Expansion Pack, Auroras became part of our Sims worlds.
For this mod though, you only need the Base Game and you can decide for yourself where you want them to appear. This can even be on vacation- or hidden lots if you want!

For more info and tips and tricks, take a look at the video.

Sneak Peek Images - Mysterious Polaroid - Glow + Moodlet

As I mentioned yesterday, I still had an idea for the Mysterious Polaroid to make it even more mysterious. The outcome can be seen by switching between the first and second image.

First of all, I've placed a fern and a Sim besides the polaroid, so the size can be seen a bit better.  On this first screenshot you see how this object looks at daylight. Not very special..
Then when switching to the second image, which was taken at night, you'll see that the Aurora on the polaroid ha...

Sneak Peek Images -Mysterious Polaroid

On the first image you see what I've come up with as object to spawn the Aurora.
I first named it Aurora Borealis, but that seems to be wrong as it isn't a Northern Light. Especially now you can place it every where you want to.

So the object is a polaroid picture of an Aurora, that can be placed both on terrain as on deco slots. As some may want to hide the object, other objects can be placed on top of it without the use of cheats. Also your Sims will be able to walk straight over i...

Next Project!

You already saw the screenshot above last week, which was made with help of the Effect Player. But for my next project, I want this to be a new placeable object which gives everyone (also the people who don't have the Eco Lifestyle pack), the possibility to place an Aurora Borealis where ever and when ever you want! Although it only works at night of course.

The idea is to make some sort of visible floor decal again, but I'm not sure yet what to use for it. I'm also thinking of adding a...

Bunch of new VFX codes Eco Lifestyle

Hello all,

I've finally got my hands on the new vfx codes that came with the Eco Lifestyle pack.
As the entire list of vfx codes used in The Sims 4 gets longer each time a new pack gets released and especially when that new pack is an Expansion Pack, the time it takes to only get the newly added vfx codes takes a lot longer then before!

I do have a separate list now with only the Eco Lifestyle VFX codes and I can tell you there are 887 new codes! Not all of them can be used for...

Butterflies Download issue should be solved!

Hello all,

My email was fully spammed with people asking for access to the download link of the butterflies mod. (This is probably all automaticaly though, but I really thought what is this!?!?)

Turned out that there was an odd setting active which made only selected people to have access. As there were no selected people, no one could download my mod. So my apologies for that.

It should be downloadable now. If it isn't please let me know!
I hope this won't happen again. ...

New Mod / Video!

Animated - Placeable Insects - Butterflies IL 🦋
Butterflies floor decal spawning a group of butterflies that can normally be seen on Sulani, the world that came with the Island Living expansion pack. It also has a custom viewing interaction, thought balloon and happy buff.

Just bought Eco Lifestyle! *Yeah!*

This is the first time ever I bought a pack at night 😄
Not because I wanted this pack so badly, but just because I'm still awake and behind my pc.

I will probably make a short tour through the world before going to bed. Although I'm not sure if the game with all those new objects and new world will allow me to make a short tour...

Now let's dive in! 🤿 

Aurora Borealis - Windenburg Farmhouse

I tried to start with editing my video for tomorrow, but the update got me distracted...
New updates before new packs equals new vfx codes!

So I just couldn't help myself already searching through some files containing vfx codes.
I do have to wait for someone else to make a more readable file of all codes, before I can really look through all of them though. But at least I already found this one!

I'm quite sure it won't take long before I make this into a placeable mod for e...

Sneak Peek Images - Butterflies Thought Balloon

Hello!

Last update about the butterflies that will be released upcoming friday!
In the images above, the thought balloons can be seen which will appear at the beginning of the view-interaction.

As viewing the butterflies gives the Sim a happy buff, I thought let's try to make a heart shape out of all 4 butterfly species. I've added a close-up of the thought balloon too as from far away it just looks as a colorful heart.  😅 

Tomorrow I'm going to make the thum...

Sneak Peek Image - Butterflies Happy Buff

Hello everyone!

Hope everybody is still doing alright?  Here everything is ok, apart from the fact that it's very nice weather here in Holland and I can't go outside because of some antibiotics I had to/wanted to take this weekend after being bitten by two ticks.

I know many people get ticks very often, but as I had the Lyme disease when I was 12 and all those years until now (which are quite some years) I haven't been bitten by ticks, I immediately thought about the time whe...

Sneak Peek Image - Butterflies Group VFX

As I forgot to upload this sneak peek yesterday, I will do it today!
In the middle you see the floor decal of the group of butterflies with all of those butterfly species flying around it!

I've decided that I won't be adding a second invisible swatch as I hear quite often that people can't seem to find the object back after making it invisible. The option to make a large square around the place you think you've placed the object with the demolish tool isn't always do-able because of ...

Sneak Peek Image + Question/Help needed

Ok, so I made a decision! My next project will be making the Island Living group of butterflies placeable on our lots. In the above image you can already see the catalog thumbnail as well as the floor decal object spawning the butterflies effect.

Right now I haven't made the invisible swatch yet, as I first want to have the tuning for the visible version working the way I want it to. And that's where I will need your help a bit.
I'm trying to make a view interaction to get a thought ...

Possible new projects...

I haven't talked about what my new project will be for the simple reason that I don't know this yet. I have plenty of ideas gathered in lists, but it's still difficult to choose the right one sometimes. 

As I don't want my next mod to be another 3 weeks away, I will probably try to make something less detailed as the bees mod. Though I still might try to add a buff just to practice a bit more with this.

Right now I'm thinking about either a butterflies mod, these would be the...
