Possibly more Rocks this week!

Hello all,

First of all my apologies for not including the actual link to the video in my former post. It's fixed now, but I suppose you all already found the video because of Szanne's link or by maybe visiting my Tumblr, Twitter or YouTube channel directly.

Anyway, for this week I will be trying to get more rocks to be released by the end of the week. This time though it won't be just rocks that you can place, but it will be like I like to call them "Raisable Rocks".

And in this c...

New Mod / Video!

Yeah, I've made it in time!

In some way I will always do that as I'm the first to decide when I upload things, but I like to keep things sheduled in some way... :)

Anyway, more rocks are here to decorate your lots in game with. Also don't forget to download the Default Base Game Rock Overrides!

Sorry for not including the link!  😅 

Sneak Peek Image - Base Game Rocks - Mossy

As you can see, after releasing the next mod pack, you will also be able to use the mossy textures that came from the Selvadorada world onto the base game rocks too! (and of course also the other 2 extra recolors)

As for the release date/time I'm not really sure if I can finish it at the same time I normally release my mods. I still need to make the thumbnail, edit the video, make texts and upload the mod itself and tomorrow I don't have time at all to work on this week's mods. 

So ...

Sneak Peek Image - Rocks Recolors

In the image above you see the original recolors I've added to all 3 groups of rocks. These are the first 5 (5th=black).

The grey, light brown and mossy recolors are extra recolors which I took from the Get Together Expansion pack (The grey one) and the Jungle Adventures Game Pack.

After I've added these last 3 to all groups of rocks, I thought about the idea to add those same 3 recolors to the original Base Game rocks too as an override. This way all rocks can perfectly be matched with ...

Sneak Peek Image - Unlocked Rocks

Yesterday when working on 3 group of rocks from the Get together Pack, I found out that exact the same rocks were also in the debug section of the Base Game objects!

And because Base Game objects can be used by everyone, I needed to re-do everything I had done with those Get Together Rocks. Which was quite a bummer as I thought I had them almost finished.

So besides unlocking them, I also made them placeable in pools and fountains and made them placeable close to/inside other objects (So...

This week's plans!

Hello everyone,

Hope you all had a nice weekend? I had a rather busy weekend and I'm still feeling tired. Unfortunately this week will be a bit busier too, so less time to mod.

That's why this week, I will be doing something more "simple".
I want to work on unlocking and recoloring some rocks from one or maybe  some of the Expansion Packs.
Probably next week I will do something quite the same as I want to make a new version of the raisable rocks which I'm planning to do for a ...

New Mod / Video!

The Squirrels are here to take over the Sims world!

--CLICK HERE FOR THE VIDEO-- 

If we can't find the squirrels EA put into the game, we're simply going to place them ourselfs. :)

Sneak Peek Video - Animated Squirrel

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.

This sneak peek will show you an example of how this cute Squirrel looks when placed into your game.

More info and examples will be shown in the final video.

Sneak Peek Image - Animated Squirrel - 3

This last Sneak Peek, shows how they will run. In this case I placed the Hazelnut-Spawn-Point inside the Hollow trunk that came with the Chipmunk mod from last week. You can also hide the spawn points behind or underneath some bushes or grass if you want to.

Examples of that will be shown in the Sneak Peek Video which I will be uploading tomorrow.

Another question, has anyone already seen these Squirrels somewhere in Brindleton Bay? Or did EA only create the effect, but never actually ad...

Sneak Peek Image - Animated Squirrel - 2

This second Sneak Peek Image, shows you how the will sit just before and after "standing up". Though one of the three animations doesn't get up at all, but only stops for a few seconds with running, before moving on.

I think EA did quite a good job on making these effects, although the head looks a bit silly from the front, but that's probably because you will only see it run by very fast while in game. After all, it's still an effect that is used to make areas look more alive instead of a ful...

Sneak Peek Image - Animated Squirrel - 1

Today I will share 3 different images of the squirrel itself in 3 different positions.

This first image is the most cute in my opinion. It looks a bit like the Chipmunk when it's eating only then without anything to eat... :P

You can already see that this effect is a bit larger then that of the chipmunk, simply because squirrels are bigger then Chipmunks.

Sneak Peek Image - Animated Squirrel - Hazelnuts

Hello everyone!

Some more info I wanted to share with you about this week's Squirrel mod. While making this mod, I found 3 different kind of animations from a running squirrel and thought that it would be nice to some how add them all to this single mod.

So what I did is make 3 different swatches where each swatch will spawn a different animation of the running squirrel. To make it more easy to see which effect you're using , I've added 3 different kind of Hazelnut pictures to each swatc...

New Placeable Animal the upcoming week!

Hello all,

I hope you're all enjoying your weekend? :) I certainly am! It's the first day since ages that it's below 30 degrees celcius here... it's 27 which feels pretty good after those hot days. Although my PC room is small and it warms up VERY fast, so I'm not going to spend much time in it now.

But I do want to share my idea for the upcoming week with you all.
As already described in the title, another placeable animal will be made this week. Where last week I used an effec...

New Mod / Video!

Another animal for your gardens and parks is here, the chipmunk!
The Hollow Trunk is also useable without the chipmunk effect switched on of course.

I hope you like this mod and video!

Sneak peek video - Hollow Trunk + Chipmunk Effect

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.

This sneak peek will show you both how it will look when using the Hollow Trunk as a deco object as ow it looks after enabling the Chipmunk Effect.

In tomorrows video there will be some more examples on how to use this object and more info regarding resizing the object and placing other animated objects into th...

Patreon Pledge Problems

Hello everyone, 

There seem to be some problems on Patreon's side processing pledges. A lot of pledges get declined despite the fact there might be nothing wrong with your cards.
I've "lost" 7 patrons already because of this. Although they will automaticaly be counted after the pledge has been processed eventually. 

Patreon says they're working on a solution, so don't worry about things not working on the site right now, although I hope everything will be fixed soon for both...

Sneak Peek Image - Hollow trunk + Chipmunk

I totally forgot about this sneak peek I should post today, I'm sorry!
I didn't had enough time today for also making the Sneak peek video, so that one will come tomorrow.

So in the image above you will see the chipmunk while it's eating before it will run away. Looks quite cute IMO. :)

Sneak Peek Image - Hollo Trunk + Slots

As you can see in the image above, I also added two deco slots to the hollow trunk, so you will be able to place my placeable birds and/or reptiles to the trunk too.

Probably more placeable birds mods will be made some day, so you can place birds to this trunk who actually make sence.. As I don't think seagulls belong in a forest. Although, the trunk can also be placed onto your beaches or parks near the beach of course, which makes the seagulls a perfect bird to sit on top of it. :)

Any...

Sneak Peek Image - Hollow trunk + Float

To make the hollow trunk to float as in the image above, just move the object above the water and click, this can be done without using any cheats.

As I often like to decorate the bottom of my custom ponds too, I also made the hollow trunk able to be placed on the bottom of a swimming pool. To do that, you'll need to press "Page Down" while in build mode to go to a lower floor level and then place it on the bottom of your pool. This can of course also be done without using cheats.

In the...

Sneak Peek Image - Hollow trunk

Hello everybody!

An update on this week's mod. The image above shows you the hollow trunk I will be using to let the chipmunk spawn from.
This hollow trunk is exact the same one that I unlocked for the Unlocked Swamp Pack which was one of my first mods after The Sims 4 released.
The difference though, is that the original hollow trunk was HUGE, so I shrinked it a bit to look more like an actual hollow trunk which could be found in the forest.

For the people that missed the Unlocke...

New Week, New plans!

Hello everyone!

First of all I would like to welcome some new Patrons!
I'm very happy you all decide to support me and I hope you will like the things I share with you. (If you don't please let me know that too) ;)

For the upcoming week I have another animated animal mod in mind.
Just like my former animated mod, the seaweed + sandpipers, I will add an effect to an object this time too.

The object will probably be an unlocked hollow trunk, and the effect will be that of a chi...

New Mod / Video ! 🎦

The natural looking frozen ponds are here, that is after you've decorated around and on top of them yourself of course..  😁 

--CLICK HERE FOR THE VIDEO-- 

Enjoy your TS4 Spring/Summer/Fall/Winter ice skating days!

Sneak Peek Image - Frozen Ponds Thumbnail

Especially for the Thumbnail of this mod, I made the scene on the image.
As I thought it came out really well, I decided to also make a video about it to include in my final mod showcase video for tomorrow.

Maybe this could also become a lot which I could share with everyone if I totally finish it, also where the camera isn't looking right now  😜 

Do you think you would download this lot if uploaded?

Sneak peek video - Frozen Ponds - Indoors Disco Hall

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.

- Frozen Ponds - Indoor Disco Hall - 

This sneak peek will show you a Frozen Pond used indoors in something I tried to make like some sort of Ice Skating Disco Hall that you also already saw on one of the Sneak Peek Images too

In my final video, more examples will be shown.

Sneak Peek Image - Frozen Pond - Indoors

Like you can see, it's also possible to use these frozen ponds indoors. In this case I tried to make some sort of Disco-Ice-Skating-Hall  😋 

I'm not that good in making indoor interiors though...
This same shot will be used in my video, but then in motion.

I also made another extra outdoor scene today for my thumbnail and decided to make a short video of it too to use in the final video.

I will probably make a sneak peek video of the disco ice skating hall today and...

Sneak Peek Image - Frozen Pond - Large - Night

Using one of the floor light colors, in this case the blue one, will make the frozen pond look even more beautiful. Especially at night!

More sneak peeks will follow!

Sneak Peek Image - Frozen Pond - Large- Day

Here you see how the large Frozen Pond can look at day time with a blue floor light switched on. Though this is more vissible at night..

See next Sneak Peek Image. :)

Sneak Peek Image - Frozen Pond - Decorated

So here is an example of how this can look after decorating it around it and on top of it. When placing objects on top of the ice, like the tree in this example, you will have to keep in mind that the parts from the corners to the middle will also be used by you Sims while doing ice skating routines. So never place objects exact in the middle of the frozen pond.

The frozen pond in the image is the small version by the way, I will also make a larger one.

Tomorrow I will share some sneak p...

Sneak Peek Image - Frozen Pond

This first Sneak Peek of the Frozen Pond isn't looking that interesting, but it's the object itself how it will look right out of build mode.

After placing this rather bare frozen pond, it's time to decorate it with plants and rocks, to make it look more natural. An example of that will be uploaded in a few minutes after posting this post!

This week's plans!

Hello everyone,

This week's mod ideas came after watching LGR's (Lazy Game Reviews) The Sims 4 Seasons Review, when he said the following:

 "Unfortunately you can not skate on the frozen over lakes and ponds and pools stay liquid no matter what.." 

Now I can't change anything about that of course, but I can make it LOOK like we have some frozen natural ponds where we can ice skate upon.
To achieve this, I will be using the ice rinks and try to delete ...
