Sneak Peek Image - Fish Pack 1 - New Option Menu

Something new I also wanted to share about the BGC Fish Pack, is the new fish option menu. Because of another kind of tuning I've used, I can't change the order of interactions/options.

By default all floor decals still will spawn 3 fish, but after clicking the object to change the amount of fish spawning, you will see the option menu showed in the above image. So besides the order of options, also the text has been slightly changed. This is so I can also use it for all other fish speci...

Animated - Fish Pack 1=Base Game Compatible!

Hello Everyone,

Like the title already mentioned, I've made my original Animated Fish pack now Base Game Compatible! On the image you see the visible floor decal with the default 3 fish spawning. This visible floor decal will automatically disappear when placed below the water surface. There's also an invisible floor decal for if you want to make an aquarium only using a room with big windows.

I still need to do some tests though like testing if all other number of fish appear, as...

Update Base Game Compatible Fish!!! (+ other projects)

Good news about the Base Game Compatible Fish Pack! I've finally found time to discuss it with Ravasheen despite the fact that due to the different time zones, this was incredibly difficult to arrange.

And I've just tested if the first fish, the angelfish, will spawn in game after disabling all other packs. AND IT DID! 

New Pack
The way the mod is made now though, is totally different then it was before. This should make it easier for me to add new fish sp...

Possible new project: Haunted House Entry

As I don't want to wait on help on the Fish Pack before moving on to something else, I've looked for other possible mods to make. One of them is about the Haunted House 'Rabbit hole', which can be found in Copperdale, the world that came with the HighSchool Years EP.

In the past I've already made multiple objects which can be used in a scary scene, like the Bat cave + Bats vfx , 2023-05-02 15:29:59 +0000 UTC View Post

Update/Info on BG compatible Fish Pack

Hello all,

Sorry for the lack of updates about things I'm working on, but I'm quite busy with non-TS4 things at the moment and new TS4 stuff I tried to make last week, wasn't working like I want it to😒. So new week, new chances!

Making Fish Pack 1 Base Game Compatible
Like I mentioned in my former post, one of my upcoming goals is to make my first Fish pack which I made ages ago, to become Base Game compatible as there's not a good reason why it shouldn't ...

Problems with Shark & Sea Monster VFX...

Big Shark VFX
Sorry for not sharing any updates earlier, but I had/have some problems with both the shark as sea monster vfx.
First of all, I already had problems with making the vfx of the shark to appear. Or maybe it did appear only I didn't saw it as it was spawning a long distance from the object itself most of the time. Took already way too long to find this out.

So now I knew it was spawning that far away, I was thinking if I could fix it by moving the vfx c...

More ocean life coming!

Despite that I haven't looked at the new world that came with Growing Together EP, I did looked at the new VFX that came with it. And in there I've found two vfx that I might want to turn into new placeable "animal" objects.

First of all, there's a shark vfx. Unlike the small sharks I've already made placeable that swim around in circles, this new vfx of a shark is much bigger and will surface every on...

Sneak Peek Image - Swallow Tailed Gulls - Placement

Some extra placement info prior to the early access from today.

In the images above you see my custom beach/ocean with both the floating as flying gulls. In the second image though you also see how I make sure I don't forget where I've placed these invisible objects.

This is by using my Invisible Fence 2.0. This small fence/wall is visible in build mode but invisible in live mode. By building a ...

🎦 Sneak Peek Video - Animated - Swallow Tailed Gulls

Hello Patrons!

Long time since I've shared a sneak peek video, but here is one!
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 the video you see my custom made beach and ocean with both the flying as floating gulls. If you're quite new to my mods, there're a lot more ocean related mods visible in this video, like 'norma...

Sulani Gulls / Swallow Tailed Gulls UPDATE

Name Change
Worked on the Sulani Gulls again and I've switched the name to Swallow Tailed Gulls, as that's the species of gull you see.

Extra Swallow Tailed Gull mod
I've also discovered another vfx of flying swallow tailed gulls which I'm going to add as an extra mod. You can then stack the floating and the flying ones or place them near to each other to also have some gulls flying around. Or if you don't have a pool of water to place the floatin...

Sneak Peek Image - Sulani Seagulls

For if you weren't aware of what these other seagulls look like, here's a screenshot I made in Sulani.

Next Project: Sulani Seagulls

My next project will again be with seagulls, this time though it's a seagull species which I haven't made objects for until now.

Maybe you've seen them before, maybe you didn't, but in Sulani there's a small group of seagulls not looking as the other seagulls do.

During the vfx some seagulls will land in the water and float there for some time before flying away and others fake their landing and fly away immediately after.

I want to make this exact same vfx to be placeable b...

🎉New Mod / NO video🎉

🚨🚨🚨
As I won't be making individual mod videos anymore for the upcoming time, expect a "monthly" recap video to be here in a few weeks also containing this mod.

Sneak Peek Image - Seagulls Fly in & Out VFX (in Images)

On the image above you can see how the VFX of the seagulls flying in and out will work. It might take some time before they land the first time and it also takes some time before they fly away again. They won't all land at once either, but a few in-game minutes after each other, same for flying away.

I'm going to use this same image for the thumbnail too, though it might looks a bit overcrowded now with the sandpipers on the image too. So I will probably delete those..

Sneak Peek Image - Seagulls Flying In & Out - Info

I've worked a bit on the first new seagull mod this weekend and it didn't go that smooth as I hoped it to be.

Finding the right VFX
First I had to find the right vfx of seagulls flying in, standing there for some time and after that flying away again. There were multiple of these vfx to be found, the only problem though is that I discovered that a lot of those vfx won't re-appear after simply leaving the lot or the game. Which is very annoying. After a lot of trial a...

Upcoming Mods - possibly more Seagulls

Buying new packs
Before working on my next mods, I'm first going to buy the Highschool Years EP and the new Growing Together EP as the first one is still on a 38% sale until the 23th of march. After this I definitely need to take a quick look at these new worlds and scan them as well as all build/buy items for new modding opportunity's and write them down.

It will probably take some time discovering everything new these packs have to offer, so in the meantime I will ...

Big Change YouTube Videos!

Hello all,

Sorry for not having that much updates lately, but I'm very busy with work, other hobbies as well as things that need to be arranged for my wedding next year.
Because of all of this, time for working on mods and/or videos has become a lot less.

YouTube Videos
About my Bakie's The Sims 4 Custom Content videos, I've decided to try something new that hopefully will result in releasing mods a lot quicker then is happening right now. 2023-03-21 12:59:30 +0000 UTC View Post

🎉I'm on CurseForge now!🎉

Just a small update about me being on CurseForge since today.
I've only uploaded one project, but many more will follow the upcoming time (Think months, not hours).

Grassland Summer - Combine Set - Wallpaper
I was finally able to fix all buggy things about this wallpaper I made for the first time in 2014! Back then TheSims4Studio didn't even excisted yet and the only objects that could be made were wallpapers and floors with a program called WallE...

👁‍🗨 Early Access (sort of) - Grassland Summer Wallpaper

I was finally able to fix all buggy things about this wallpaper I made for the first time in 2014! So next thing to do is upload it to CurseForge to see how this all works. As the mod is ready for use now, you can already download it by clicking the attachment in this post.

About the wallpaper:
This wallpaper is called a 'Combine Set' as you can mix and match 8 different wallpapers to create unique looking walls for every room you use them for. When using medium or t...

2nd Update - Grassland Summer Wallpaper

I've restarted the wallpaper from scratch a few times today, buy couldn't get some things to work like it should. So after a few hours I stopped as my patience was totally gone😅.

I will try one last time to edit the original wallpaper package file somewhere this week. Maybe stepping away from it for today, will help me find a solution for all problems later. Or at least I hope!

Sorry for the long wait, but I just don't like to give up on this. :)

Grassland Summer Wallpaper UPDATE and more

Hi Everyone,

I just started working on the wallpaper again and thought that everything should work fine in game, turned out it didn't. It didn't worked at all :(

Studio's Eyedropper tool problem and solution
Also stumbled upon some problems I never had before like not being able to use the eyedropper tool in Studio to grab a color from the texture. Turned out that the eyedropper tool (or  at least in my case) does not work on a second monitor. When draggin...

Adding mods to Curse Forge

Today I will be working on adding my first mod on Curse Forge. I've decided to start with a very old one, which I made back in 2014. Back then The Sims 4 Studio didn't even excisted yet and the only mods you could make were wallpapers and floors with a program named WallEz. This also gives a small problem with editing the mod in TS4Studio though, so that's already the first thing that needs to be solved.

One of the first wallpapers I ma...

Just released my first ever YouTube Short!🎉

I've just released my first YouTube Short!
There're probably things that can use some improvement, but I'm quite happy with this outcome. I'm very curious how much views this will get, if it will at all!
Probably I will be sharing the birth of my first YouTube short at the end of this weekend at my socials too. :)

Other YouTube shorts will probably follow in the future, but I first want to concentrate on making a start with uploading stuff on CurseForge.

After this, I will a...

Sneak Peek Image - YouTube Short -WIP

At the moment I'm trying to make some sort of template in Photoshop about how I want my YouTube shorts to look and the above image shows a sneak peek of this.

I've also already discovered how to record vertical videos in game, but also how to "convert" my normal videos into vertical ones. Especially this last thing will save me some time in the future I hope, as I don't need to record new footage of things made in the past.

The only thing that bothers me right now is that I can't ...

Upcoming things to do

Just a small update on what I'm planning to do the upcoming time.
Unfortunately I haven't had time at all this week to work on anything Sims related and this will probably stay this way for the rest of the week too. Just too many other things planned this week.

YouTube Shorts
If I do have time for Sims again, I'm going to try to discover how I can make a YouTube short about my Custom Content to see how this works and if it can get me some more people to find my m...
