Hello all,
Auquaponic farm
Today I got my first orientation day at the Aquaponic farm, and I really liked it. There weren't that many other people working this today which for me felt better for now. All people that were working were very friendly and before I knew, it was time to go home (I worked until lunch). This makes me believe that I probably won't sleep as bad as I did last night and won't be that nervous as I did this morning when I will have my second orien...

Hello all,
Thanks to Patron Stephanie Billman, the Buoy objects will be useable in game again soon.
On my Updated List there were still 5 mods that I had listed as "Not updateable yet".
Now the thing is, they couldn't be updated to work on pond water surfaces, which is still the case, but I can update them to appear in game. Right now they'r...

When working on the invisible fences today and making them to be placeable on water surfaces and then especially on pond and fountain water surfaces, I started thinking about WHY I want them to be placeable on ponds and fountains as Sims can't swim in those.
That's when I thought about a new way to use my invisible fences!
If you're a big fan of the invisible objects I make with (animal) vfx attached to them, you might have experienced sometimes, that you had problems finding them ba...

Updated Mods / New Mods
Just wanted to let you know that I'm sorry for the lack of updates recently. I'm just really happy that my most important mods have been updated now. Working on something new, like the invisible fence 2.0 right now, is taking a bit longer then usual. I think it's because I forget about certain things while modding and it looks like not writing voice-overs for the past few months doesn't make it easier either. And then I also need to record it and ma...

Hello all,
I've been busy with all kind of things not related to The Sims, so that's why I can only share this with you right now.
I managed to make the small fence to have the same kind of texture as the normal 2-tiles fence does, but a bit smaller. I think I will keep it this way though and work on making them to be placeable on ponds and such and make a new kind of catalog thumbnail for both of them.
Then I'm going to see if I can still writeand record voice-overs, make v...

Both my Animated Fish Pack as well as my Animated - Hole in Wall + Bats recieved an extra update to fix/change the following things:
Fish Pack:
I've updated all fish now, so when placing a fish underneath (pond) water surfaces and using the MOO cheat to raise it, the object will stay at this height after selecting it a second time. Without this update, the object would switch to the default height when selecting it a...

My first update on the new improved invisible fence is the way it looks right now compared to my first version of the invisible fence.
As can be seen in the images above, the first version (First 2 walls on the first image) had some light issues, shadows weren't visible at all and the thickness could only be seen from one angle. Though those light and shadow issues don't really matter on an object that should be invisible in the end, it still bothers me a little.
The new walls don...

Upcoming friday I will not only promote the Animated Fish Pack I just gave an extra update, but also the Hole in Wall + Bats mod.
This last one has already got an extra update some time ago, but I never shared this with the community (as I forgot), only with my Patrons. So if you weren't a Patron at the time I updated that mod, you might have missed this.
If you did, you can find a post about it with the download right 2022-03-09 16:31:58 +0000 UTC

I've updated all fish now, so when placing a fish underneath (pond) water surfaces and using the MOO cheat to raise it, the object will stay at this height after selecting it a second time.
In between the first updated version and this one, I've also updated these fish to have the blue background colors like all my other water-animal mods have too. So if you've missed that update, this one will fix that too.

Hello all,
I can finally say that all mods from this list have now been updated. Though I still need to make the tiny update to all fish, see this post. But I'm quite sure this won't take too long.
This means I can think about what NEW mods I'm going to make. Even though I have...

I've finished and double-checked all water mods and I'm quite sure they all look and work like they should. So that means, time for the Patron release. Although I might also begin updating all download links tomorrow on other places so everything is ready for the public promotion this friday.
If you downloaded the Water Stream and Batuu Waterfall before, I recommend downloading them again (in this post) as they needed some minor fixes/updates which I forgot about when updating them last...

Hello all,
I've been working on the remaining water mods today, so I can upload all four of them ( with some minor changes to the Batuu Waterfall and stream) tomorrow for my Patrons.
I still need to do some final checks tomorrow to see see if everything works like it should before I upload them to Patreon, but as you can see on the screenshot above, also the small waterfall is now placeable onto pond water surfaces.
If I have any spare-time during the rest of the week, I wil...

Hello all,
As I didn't had enough time to finish all 4 water mods already, I decided to share the ones that I think are finished. It could be that there will be some small changes, but nothing big probably. If there will be changes, I will replace the attachment later on.

Sorry, couldn't resist. I started updating a tiny bit of the sailboat and ended up with both files updated. Will spend the rest of the hours this week to the water mods. :)
But now I did updated these mods, I can promote them to the public later this week.
Besides the placeable on ponds for the sailboat, I've also restored it's sun light shadows.
With the old version and placing a seagull on one of the boat deco slots, you would only see a floating shadow of the seagull. Now it...

I'm sorry I keep finding things to update, but when working on the water mods, I found by accident a way to make the placeable fish mods better useable again in combination with the MOO cheat.
Right now when placing a fish underneath (pond) water surfaces and using the MOO cheat to raise it, the object will return to it's default height after selecting it a second time.
This is incredibly annoying when you want to make a small adjustment to it's height underneath the water surf...

Hello all,
I've finally reached the last 4(5) mods that I think need to be updated before I will start making new mods again. The main mods I'm focusing on now are the following water related mods:
- Animated - Water Stream
- Animated - Cave Water Drops
- Animated - Small Waterfall
- Animated - Batuu Waterfall
The 5th mod I found on the list which was labeled as Not updatable yet is the Animated Sailboat + Boat trailer. I'...

For everyone who want to have an aurora above oceans in The Sims worlds, I have good news! Besides that this object can now be found in the Pond VFX section and is placeable on ponds too, I've also added the option for it to be placed outside of the lot on ocean water surfaces. For more info about that, read on!

Something I just checked, is how many and what kind of vfx have been added for the Wedding GP. Tuns out 331 new vfx have been added and there're some interesting ones among them. Not that many though as most of them are part of a Sim or object animation possibly.
First of all, the hot-air balloon from the trailer is one of them, so you can be quite sure I will make this into a placeable object.
There're also a few different boat, a fish, waterfall and a frog code to be found...

I did it! From now on the Aurora can not only be placed on terrain outside of lots but also on ocean water surfaces.
On the image above, I've ride with my Sim on a water scooter to the back of the island in the middle and placed a mysterious polaroid on the ocean water surface. At night there will be this beautiful aurora shining above the Sulani island and ocean.
Besides this addition, it can also be found in the Pond VFX section for 0 Simoleons, so it will appear at the beginnin...

Hello everybody,
As you may have noticed, I didn't updated the mysterious polaroid + aurora yet last weekend, simply because I had no time to work on it.
I do now though and I have an extra idea for it too. My main idea was to only make it to be placeable onto ponds besides the ocean and other water surfaces. Now something that's already possible is to place it from your Sim's inventory into the world outside of your lot, so it could be placed in a park for example to get the auro...

Most important changes for these are that they now can be found in the Pond VFX section almost at the beginning as I made all of them only 1 Simoleon. They also have their own type of background, which is blue-ish fading to black at the top. Where...

Hello all,
While working on updating the Animated Placeable Creature mods, I noticed that I kept the price of the hole in wall + bats vfx mods at 25 Simoleons and didn't added a light green background. I don't know exactly why to be honest, so I've just updated these mods to have both the background and changed the price to 3 Simoleons instead.
If you don't have any problems with the former price and thumbnail backgrounds, you don't have to download these updated ...

Another updated mod, this time my (Filthy) Bone Fish + Eagle. If you're not familiar with it, this bone fish has an On/Off switch to turn on the green damp you see coming from the bone fish on the left image on the thumbnail. You also have the option for an eagle to spawn above the fish depending on the swatch you choose. As can be seen the right of the thumbnail, cats will eat from the fish too.

Hello all,
Lately a Patron filled in on his or her exit survey, that he/she didn't recieved the rewards he/she was expecting to get.
In one way I can understand this as I don't have sneak peeks right now, as I'm updating older mods. On the other hand, I hoped people would understand this. Now luckely most of you do, but I don't like it when people have complaints without coming to me first.
The thing is, an exit survey on patreon is anonymous, so this way I can't tell ...
