Hello everyone!
As you can read in the title, the mod for this week is still unsure!
First of all, I had a busy weekend which did give me time to buy the new EP, but not to check it out. That's what I'm doing right now, but also not for a very long time anymore, because:
IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY! 🎉 🎈 🎊
My girlfriend even took a day off from her work 😇 and then I can't sit behind my computer playing the Sims of course &n...
Animated - Helipad + Helicopter 🚁
Now that the Get Famous Expansion Pack has just released, I decided to make something that every rich and famous Sim needs: Their own Helipad for on their roof or in their backyard!
Of course it's also useable to be placed onto your Police Stations or Hospitals.
It comes both in a version with as without an helicopter effect. For more info, take a look at the video!
As you might have noticed, there's no mod or video yet.
The simple reason for it, is because I'm still recording videos and making screenshots.
After that I need to record the voice over and then the whole video has to be editted.
When that's done, I need to upload the video and mod itself and make texts for all websites on which I share my mod.
(And in between that I need to make dinner and eat 🍽️ )
So long story short, you need to have a bit more patient. I will defi...

After a long wait, I finally got the third and last helicopter spawning on my helipad!
I think this one is more of a news helicopter or something, although it could also be the second helicopter of the Police Station 😜 (it's mirrored as the other side of the heli is exact the same)
I haven't record as much today as I wanted to, mainly because without the Extended UI Cheat mod, many things take much more time. So the actual video might be uploaded a bit later tomorrow then usual as ...

In this screenshot you can not only see how it will look with the hospital helipad on the roof of the hospital, but also another version of the helicopter that can spawn on all helipads.
In this case I think it's also a more suitable one to land on a hospital, but as I already mentioned, you can't decide which one is going to land.
Something that isn't the way it should be is the size of the helipad, which is larger then it normally is. What happened here is that I enlarged the mesh in S...

**Damn, made a mistake while publishing this post a minute ago as some things has changed on Patreon 😅 Made it public by accident, but let's do it the right way right now!**
My biggest problems due to the latest patch, seems to be fixed for now. So I can work on my mod/video for this week again. I did miss some working time because of a very busy non-sims related day yesterday and the problems I had because of the patch, so I hope it will all be ready in time.

2018-11-15 09:14:01 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
Due to some problems after the latest patch, I can't select my Sims anymore on editted lots as they are grayed out although it states they're at home, I can't promise that my newest mod will be released this friday.
I hope to figure out a work around for this, but can't promise anything.
I will update with any news on this!
(You can see my problem on my Twitter account, as I already asked SimGuruNick and SimGuruNeel for help with a screenshot of my problem)

Ok, one more sneak peek image!
This is how it will look when one of the three possible helicopters has landed on the helipad.
You can't choose for yourself which helicopter will land as this happens radomly.
But I think the fact there's a helicopter actually using the helipad is already quite cool. :)
Now let's work on a more suitable hospital helipad!
The hospital on the image is the one that comes with the Doctor career from the Get to Work Expansion pack. On top of it I placed one of the four helipads that can be seen in the former sneak peek image.
Although this looks already quite good, I was thinking about making a more suitable helipad especially for hospitals as in most cases these helipads will also have the health cross icon on them too in real life.
The one on the picture might be better for the police station in the back o...
In the image above the first 4 helipad recolors from which you can choose.
These four are all with an animated helicopter effect, but in the final mod there will also be these same 4 helipads without the effect, just as decoration.
Placing one of them on the in-game hospital that came with the Get to Work Expansion pack, makes the building look much better in my opinion, as can be seen in my next Sneak Peek Image. :)
2018-11-13 13:55:24 +0000 UTC View PostHi again!
This week's mod is something useable again or at least for the people that like to make hospitals, police stations or penthouses with their own helipad.
Besides the ability to place a rug in the shape of a helipad onto your rooftops, this helipad will also contain an animated Helicopter effect.
The effect will start with a helicopter flying in and landing on top of the helipad rug. There it will stay for some in-game minutes before flying away again. This will automaticaly b...
Hello all!
Hope you had a nice weekend?
I wanted to share this screenshot with you already some weeks ago when it was first shared by one of the gurus on Twitter, but forget about it.
Anyway, the screenshot was taken somewhere in the new neighbourhood we get with the Expansion pack; Get Famous, which will be released in about 5 days.
Something that immediately caught my eye, was the shark(s) swimming in the pond!
More info about the pond told me that we will be able to ...

Animated - Crying Tragic Clown 🤡
This week I made something I thougt was just funny to make and not especially useful.
As the Tragic Clown Painting from the Base Game wasn't tragic enough in my opinion, I've added the option to activate some tears spraying out of his eyes.
Other then that, nothing has changed to the painting. Just a little extra detail.

Hello all!
In the above image you see the finished mod for this week.
The puddles used on the floor are my Non-Interactive puddles which I made already a long time ago.
In the beginning the Tragic Clown painting only had the on/off switch for the tears, but didn't had it's own interaction to view the painting and to become sad because of that any more.
I did fix that now, so the painting will work just as the original one, but with an additional option to switch on the tears eff...

A small update on the Crying Tragic Clown painting, I've removed the glass in front of the painting as I think it's annoying to be looking at a painting and having that much of reflection.
Removing it will make the colors to be the same no matter from which angle you're looking at the painting.
In the image above, the left is my version and the right, the original as I didn't made an override of it.

Hi all,
Hope you had a nice weekend?
As for this week's mod, I'm going to try to make an older mod work to way I had it in my mind.
Back then in 2017 I didn't know as much as I know now about adding effects and especially about rotating effects.
In the image above, the Tragic Clown is already "crying", but I wanted the "tears" to spray each in a different way. One to the front-left and one to the front-right. Everything I tried last year didn't work out. Sometimes the tears wer...
Hello everybody!
Like can be seen on the image above, I reached 3500 subscribers on YouTube!
It was like 4 months ago when I reached 3000 and my goal was to get to 3500 at the end of the year, so I definitely reached that goal.
On Tumblr I have reached 1579 followers by now, so that one is still growing strong too.
On Twitter it's almost 200 now (195), but I think the other social networks are more important for me as for sharing my mods and such.
Anyway, still growing strong...

--Animated - Placeable Birds - Pigeons 🕊️--
A while back I made some animated placeable seagulls, but as they don't fit a park scene for example, this time I will bring you some animate placeable pigeons instead!
Want to get some more info, some great examples on how to use them and see the bonus object I made, then take a look at the video!

The last sneak peek for this mod!
In the screenshot you see what I did with the bonus object, the Classic Outdoor Bench.
In this case there's only one pigeon sitting on the back, but it's possible to place 7 in total without blocking Sims that want to sit on the bench too.
Besides the pigeons, you can also place my animated toucan and macaw on the back for example. To see what that looks like, you need to watch tomorrow's video. ;)
2018-11-01 10:46:29 +0000 UTC View Post
In this screenshot you'll see that's also possible to place them on the top of your roof.
This isn't always easy as roofs can have different heights or slopes that will result in pigeons disappearing half inside of the roof. So in the final video, I will explain 2 ways of fixing this.
One using the MOO cheat and the other one using advanged roof movement.
Tomorrow I will show you the Bonus Classic Outdoor Bench from the Base Game on which I added 7 deco slots so pigeons can sit on it...
Hi all,
On this first sneak peek image of the week, you can already see how the single pigeon will look when placed on top of my Cats & Dogs Friendship Fountain and the Cats & Dogs Town Statues.
Placing them there is possible because of the deco slots I made on top of these objects back then. All pigeon version will be placeable on all available deco slots, so small, medium and large slots. This will also make it possible to place them onto picnic tables for example.
2018-10-30 13:35:31 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
Some info about this week's mod: It's going to be an animated animal again!
A while back I made 3 versions of standing Animated Seagulls.
This week it will be almost the same, but instead of Seagulls, this time it will be pigeons.
As for the 3 versions, there will be a version of 1 pigeon standing, a version of 3 pigeons standing and a version of 5 pigeons standing.
Each will have their own separate thumbnail in the catalog.
They will also fit onto deco slot...
Hello Everybody!
I would like to let you know that I just applied for the EA-GameChangers program by filling in the form which can be found on Community Manager's Kate Twitter account.
(https://twitter.com/SimGuruKate/status/1055219223025221632)
There were already multiple people who told me I should try too, so today I tried to write a nice piece of text about why I think I ...

--Animated - Hole in Wall + Bats Effect 🦇--
Use these to bring more life to your Halloween/Simblreen builds or use them without the effect activated for old abandonned houses. ;)
Check the video for more info and examples!
Let me know what you think about it too!

Hello Patrons!
-- This video is ONLY for people supporting me on Patreon, so please don't share this video link anywhere else. It's something only YOU are allowed to see. --
In this Sneak Peek you will see an example of how the holes in the wall both activated as non-activated will look when used on a wall at night.
For video links to the other mods made by me which surround the house, take a look at the video description of the final video tomorrow.
Hope you like this scene...
My second Sneak Peek Image shows more examples on how you can use these Hole in Wall Wall Decals. This also makes it clear that you don't have to use the Bats effect, but also can use them just as a hole in the wall. Just don't use the interaction to switch them on and no bats will appear. ;)
The holes you see on the window glass and under the ridge of the roof at the top, are Base Game Compatible holes. In this case I only used the one under the roof to activate the Bats effect (Which is not ...

Hi all,
First of all, sorry for not posting any updates on this week's mod any earlier, but there're some privat things going on which causes to have less time for modding and stuff.
But I do have time now, so I made 2 Sneak Peeks about this week's mod!
When looking at this first one you will see that I made 2 colored holes for each individual hole.
Not all individual holes I made for this week's mod are visible on this screenshot by the way.
About those black and dark gr...
Hi all,
For this week, I will try to do something in Halloween theme.
Last year I made 3 different mods and one of them was the Bat Cave that spawned a swarm of bats each 15 in-game minutes. But as a bat cave isn't something everyone would like to have in their house or garden, I will be adding that same effect to another smaller object this year.
So that's the thing I will be working on this week.
As object I will be using the "Hole in Wall" Wall decals from the Vampires Game Pac...
--HUGE Glowing Crystal Rocks--
More Glowing Crystal Rocks, but this time a bit bigger then the former ones.
They can also be stacked on top of each other using the MOO-cheat to create awesome looking formations!
Check the video for more info and some great examples!
Very curious what you think about these Huge Crystal Rocks and the things I built with it in...

Here the result of stacking multiple Huge Crystal Rocks on top each other to create a "working" Archway where your Sims will be able to walk underneath!
In the final video it will have some rocks and crystal rocks from last week decorated around it too and there will be a night version. The reason I don't have a screenshot about that, is because I used this same archway to create a Crystal Rock CAVE! And I didn't made any screenshots of the archway after this one... 😁
For the ca...
