34 Mods Updated (not uploaded yet) 27 to go!

As I didn't had any time to work on mods yesterday and not that many time today either, I haven't uploaded updated versions of other mods yet.

I did manage to update the Water Lilies and Frozen ponds and upload the new versions, but for 34 other mods which are updated now on my pc, I didn't had time to upload the new versions as I just finished testing them in game. While testing I also found a lot of mods that missed the "Floating on Ocean" function for the last color swatch, so I had ...

Frozen Ponds + Water Lily Fish Spawners FIXED

Hi all,

Yesterday I've worked like a mad man on fixing the Frozen Ponds, Water Lilies Fish Spawner and a few Ocean Float mods, resulting in a massive headache at the end of the day, being extremely tired and despite having fixed that much mods, feeling completely down.  😅
So today I'm going to work a bit less hard on updating mods to be able to float on oceans.

As I did already fixed the Frozen Ponds so that our Sims will once again leave them in a normal way and fixed...

Found another 83 mods for updating 😮

Besides the animated water lillies and frozen pond mods that need updating because they don't work like they should, I also have 83 mods that would be nice to have the ability to be placed on the ocean water surfaces or under water. ( maybe not all, but I will see)

I will focus on fixing the other two first though and then see how far I could get with the other 83 mods. If I'm not able to update them all this week, I will not continu updating them next week, bu...

Plans for the upcoming week

Hello everyone, 

What I was thinking about the upcoming week:
I've made the natural looking Branches Fence for a small part (The one from the Chickens video), but the animated placeable animal mods are also highly requested and then especially the sea turtles.

Apart from that, there're still some mods that need  to be updated, like the Animated Water Lilies with the fish effects that aren't even placeable in game right now and the Natural Frozen Pond that also causes ...

New Mod / Video!

Animated - Placeable Birds - Chickens
Something a lot of you were waiting for, new placeable animals and this time the Sulani Chickens!

Sneak Peek Image - Animated Chicken - Outro scene

This afternoon I finished the outro scene for the video tomorrow and I would like to share the outcome with you all as I really like it myself. I even was able to place my Animated Toucan on the Chicken Coop roof!

Tomorrow I still need to edit the video, but I'm sure that I will be able to release this mod around the same time as last week.

This screenshot won't be the mod's thumbnail by the way as the chicken itself aren't very visible.. I'm curious what you think about this scen...

Sneak Peek Image - Animated Chickens + Chicken Coop

In this example I used my Animated Chickens in combination with Icemunmun's Chicken Coop. As you can see they fit perfectly with each other!

The fence around them is a work in progress. I couldn't find something suitable, so decided to make one myself using another object from the game and change it's mesh.

I'm working on an outro scene for my video right now with this as a base, so expect a screenshot from that later today too!

Sneak Peek Image - Group of Chickens

I was just thinking that I forgot to upload this screenshot yesterday!
When looking to the front part of the image, you see the breadcrumbs floor decal. The other chickens are placed with the invisible (floor decal) objects.

You can't see it in this screenshot, but I also managed to let them walk not straight through each other.  😋 I think a lot of people will like this mod as many already asked about such a mod after the first chickens were spotted in the trailers.

Sneak Peek Image - Chickens Texture Override

A more up-close screenshot from the Chicken Texture Override which will become the YouTube Bonus mod. I will also probably upload another sneak peek screenshot today about the breadcrumbs floor decal I will add as second color swatch.

Invisible Objects - Ocean Float breakthrough + Chickens mod

In my post from yesterday I told you that I didn't had given myself much time to work on a new mod as I wanted to find out how I could make a base game compatible invisible object which can be placed on the ocean's water surface too.

And there's good news as I finally found out a way to make that work, so I hope to be able to make a placeable turtles mod among some others real soon.

As I now know how to make something like that, I can work on this week's mod again which is going t...

This week mod

Hi all,

I haven't let you know much about this week's mod yet as I'm almost all the time distracted by the urge to find out how to make objects placeable in the ocean. And then especiallly how to make already excisting mods placeable in the ocean, like my sharks mod.

You could already see them swimming around in the ocean in my last video, but I placed them using the MOO cheat and I want to be able to place them without cheats just as in the swimming pools. Besides that, I need to...

New Mod / Video!

Ocean Buoy - Diving & Snorkeling
My first Island Living mod! This Ocean Buoy makes it possible to use only one single buoy to go diving and snorkeling on your own lots too!

For more info and some examples, take a look at the video!

--CLICK HERE FOR THE VIDEO-- 

More Island Living stuff to come!

Sneak Peek Image - Ocean Buoy - Thumbnail

Just finished this weeks video, now I need to write all descriptions for on YouTube, Tumblr, Twitter and of course Modthesims. So still some work to do, but my first Island Living mod release is right around the corner!

To get already some ideas for your own lots, here is the thumbnail with both an ocean- as swimming pool example.  😎 🏖️

Sneak Peek Image - Ocean Buoy - Scuba Diving Aquarium

Something I made for testing the Scuba Diving in a pool.
Normally this interaction can only be done in the non-transparent ocean parts of Sulani, so them disappearing at a certain point underwater isn't visible then.

As I made interactions like this one and the free diving possible with my object too though, you can see them disappear. With my enlarged walk-through grasses, that moment can be camouflaged a bit.

I haven't used this scene or any aquarium scene in my final video t...

Sneak Peek Image - Ocean Buoy - Snorkling Pool (Windenburg)

As you can see in this picture, this Ocean buoy can also be used in worlds outside of Sulani. For Example in your custom oceans, like the one I made in Windenburg for my former beach related mod showcases from which you can see quite a few in the screenshot.

Making screenshots of the diving might be a bit difficult as they dive under and will disappear, so I'm not sure what other screenshots I can share. But if you have any ideas let me know. ;)

New effects found

Last night my girlfriend wasn't at home, so I thought let's go gaming for a bit longer then normal.. Now my plan was to go gaming on my PS4 just until midnight or something, but when I shutted down my pc at 3.10 in the night, I had spent hours of searching for new effects from the Island Living expansion pack with succes!

In fact, I even found effects from older releases which can't be found on Andrew's effects list. So either he simply missed those, or they have later been added in by ...

Sneak Peek Image - Ocean Buoy - Sea Snorkling Sulani

Hello all,

Here's already one example of my Ocean Buoy used on a beach lot in Sulani.
Like you can see, I've changed the color of the top part of the buoy to blue. The default ones are green (Snorkling) and red (Diving). Mine with both these activities possible is blue!

In this example I placed it in the sea, but it's also possible to place these in your swimming pools outside of Sulani, which I will be showing you at the begin of the upcoming week. :)

Next Project I'm working on!

Ok, so I've figured out what to make my next project to work on!
It's the Ocean Buoy which makes it possible for Sims to go diving or snorkling in the ocean.

My version will make it possible to do both on only one buoy and will make it possible to do those things in your swimming pool too.
I will also make the prices for the diving gear a bit cheaper.

I also thought to add a small deco slot on top of the thing, but as deco slots don't move with animations, it isn't going to ...

Next project still unsure

Hi all,

Not much news this week due to multiple reasons. First of all, I hoped Andrew would update his effects list sooner, but it turns out he's very busy and even barely had time to update Studio, so more patience from me is needed until I get my hands on the full effects list and more patience from you about waiting on the next placeable animal mods.

Though I did said  "until I get my hands on the full effects list".
Because I did succeed in finding a few mysel...

Sneak Peek Image - TextureOverride - Chickens

Wait what? A sneak peek image just out of the blue from something we haven't heard of?
Yes! Exactly that!

First of all, I need to let you know that I haven't got eyes on the Effects list yet, as it isn't updated yet. So I can't work on new placeable animals for now.

But I do have something new to share. After the latest patch I found a texture of a chicken and as I knew that there would be chickens in Sulani, I already hoped I found the texture of one of the effects from the Is...

Played in Sulani a bit (with my Mods)

Hello all!

I've just finished discovering Sulani and all it has to offer, also object-wise.
There's even more to discover, but I need  an update from The Sims 4 Studio for that.  😋 

Anyway, in the screenshot above I used a couple mods made by me, can you tell which? Or at least how many? One can't be seen, as it's the Soda Can with flying seagulls above the house, but there're a few more!

I also discovered that many mods can't be placed in the sea (Not w...

Meet The Creator - June Edition (MTS)

Hello everybody!

I had the honour to be asked for the Meet The Creator - June Edition on the ModtheSims forum. So for anyone who's interested, you can take a look at it here:

Meet The Creator - Bakie - June 2019 

Now I need to start The Sims 4 and wander around in Sulani to write down new mod ideas and of course just to look around!  😎 

MTS Meet the Creator - June edition

Guess who's asked to be in the ModtheSims "Meet the Creator - June edition"?
YES, me! 

I've never had an interview like that before, so I hope people will like the outcome.
Whenever I have a link to the interview I will share it with everyone on my social networks as there might be a few people who want to read it I guess..

Anyway, really cool they asked me. Because of some of the questions I realised that I've become quite "well-known" in the community nowadays because...

New Mod / Video!

Unlocked Swamp Trunks & Tree - Walk-through
Back in 2015 I've made an Unlocked Swamp Pack, which also contained 3 objects that are large enough for our Sims to walk underneath. 

This wasn't possible though, as I didn't know how to make that happen in game. But now I do! So I've changed the object a bit and with some small adjustments in game, you can let this happen too!

For more info and some examples, take a look at the video!

Sneak Peek Image - Old Cypress Tree - Walk-through example

Probably the most coolest of them all, the Old Cypress Tree.
All paths that can be seen in this shot are walkable by the Sims. No need to use invisible fences here, just decorating around the parts that hit the ground is enough and also makes it look even better!

In my final video I will also show a very cool example of this same tree, but then placed in a swimming pool where your Sims will be able to swim through!

The video and mod will probably be released thursd...
