Hi all,
I wanted to let you know that I just bought Snowy Escape, so I can't say anything about new modding ideas yet, as I haven't even opened it in-game. What I did do already, is taking a look at the new effects codes for a short while and it seems there're 975 new VFX added with this ne...
2020-11-15 15:00:27 +0000 UTC View PostFor some reason I thought it was the 12th of november today, so I've sheduled my posts on YouTube, Patreon and Tumbrl one day too late today😒
I've just published all of these posts. For some reason links on twitter and The Sims 4 Studio forum, which I posted this afternoon, still could p...

Animated - Small Waterfall
My second animated waterfall! This time a lot smaller so better useable on small lots too and in more different ways. Again two versions, one terrain only and one for both on terrain as on the water surface. The terrain only version also has multiple...
I wanted to post this screenshot yesterday but forgot about it. Anyway, in the screenshot above you see 3 of the 5 example scenes I made for my video which going to be released TODAY at 16pm!
So if you want to see them from the front and in motion, be sure to watch my video...

I've finished both versions of the small waterfall and made the two scenes above for their catalog thumbnails. So besides giving the Terrain-Only with interactions version a green border and the Terrain & Water surface without interactions version a blue colored border in build's mode catalog...

A new bigger update on the waterfall, I've added some interactions!
As can be seen on the images, I've added 3 (or actually 4) interactions to this small custom waterfall. Just like with the bigger waterfall I made before, Sims can shower in swimwear, shower nude and play (solo) underneath the...
Hello everybody,
Only a small barely seen-able update today of some splashing water effects I've added to the bottom of the waterfall. I've tried to capture it in a screenshot, but I'm not even sure it's visible on the first image. You do see a change when in motion.
Besides the splas...
2020-11-05 16:43:52 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
Something I haven't shared before, but which you might saw in my videos or even maybe in your own game. I had this bug that for some of my decoration categories, the new 'golden color' for new items wouldn't go away. In my case it was in the kids toys categories.
Now I just fo...

It took me some time to find something useful to make a new waterfall. The thing is, most waterfall effects are not centered but hang some where up in the air. Besides that, a lot of them are waterfalls made out of multiple waterfalls on different levels which are not separated in the effect itse...
2020-11-04 19:14:04 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone,
First of all some words about the new upcoming EP: Snowy Escape.
I've watched the gameplay stream about it and think that this will be one of the most beautiful worlds of The Sims. I also think there will be some nice modding possibilities, but can't say that for sure wit...
Animated - Fire Breathing Gargoyle
For this year's Halloween I decided to make a Fire Breathing Gargoyle!
For more info and tips and tricks, take a look at the video.

It took me quite a while to make this thumbnail, because I wasn't happy with it for some time. I wasn't sure about which time of day to use. At night would be more Halloween-ish, but was too dark maybe. Day-time was too bright and evening too orange or something, so I ended with using an early mo...

The scene I made for the outro of the video. Other mods visible here are my Simblreen'17 Bat Cave and Gravestones, my Placeable Crows, the Denizen Pond Revamped, the Unlocked Pinetree pack and my CAS Dynamic Light Pumpkin Hoodie.
If some of these mods are new for you, here are their v...

While writing the voice-over and making some example scenes in the game, I thought about the idea to add the possibility to make the gargoyles placeable in fountain too. This way making halloween-ish fountains will be more easy.
As Sims don't have to be near a statue to activate the fire br...

I've made it possible for pets to fear the statue both when the fire breath is activated as deactivated. When activated, they will also be able to become obsessed by the fire and will investigate it.
As the object is now finished, I'm going to start with writing the voice-over and make the ...

Another update on the fire breathing gargoyle and this time about the snow melting around it when the fire breath is activated.
The first image shows the radius in which snow pals, snow angels and snow drifts will melt away. The total radius is 5, so that means it's like 2,5 tiles around th...

When the fire is activated, an extra interaction will appear when clicking the statue.
This makes it possible for your Sims to warm themselves on the fire.
I've editted the 'warm Sim' interaction so they will always keep the distance that can be seen on the image when using this interact...

This 'Warm breath buff' will appear when the fire is activated and your Sim is near the statue. The radius in which your Sim has to be is 8, so like 4 grid tiles around the statue.
If your Sim walks out of this radius or the fire is deactivated, the buff will disappear.
The buff...
The fire breathing Gargoyle now can actually breath fire like can be seen on the images above. To activate the fire breath, simply click the statue and click the switch on interaction.
The fire itself can't be 'seen' by your Sims, so they will walk straight through the fire when walking by....

Small update about the gargoyle, just like the original gargoyle statue, this enlarged statue can still be placed on a pedestal. The feet will still be resting on the pedestal, though the fingers/toes will stick slightly out.

Another update on the fire breathing gargoyle, this time with effects that will always be visible. It's not that easy to see, but out of it's nose, there are small plumes of dark smoke.
The smoke out of it's mouth is better visible.
Next step is adding the fire itself as an On/Off ...

I've been busy with multiple things for the gargoyle, starting with resizing it, which can be seen on the first image. The left one is the original size and the right one the new.
The reason for resizing it has everything to do with the effects I'm going to add as these were a bit too large fo...
"If it was a vision, I would say we rather get something around swimming pools with water slides OR something in the mountains. Which can be both snowy mountains as normal mountains. But I don't expect it to be a vision, but just a strange dream.."

Hello all,
I'm back from my holiday and this time I did not get ill!*Yeah*
I saw some of you wanted to decide with me what to do next and the outcome is that most of you want me to make something Halloween-ish, so that's what I will be starting to work on today.
I've also got an i...
As my last small vacation at the beginning of this week wasn't really what we hoped it was because I became ill, we're decided to do another small vacation in our own country starting tomorrow. We will be gone for a few days again and in the meantime I thought maybe it's a nice idea to do a littl...

I've finally finished making videos and screenshots in game for the video about the placeable waterfall! The scene on the screenshot is made during the making of the video in which I also added some sort of tutorial on how to built a scene like this one.

Hello!
I've done a few test in game and sadly it looks like my new waterfall mod made my game to freeze. When switching from build mode to live mode all UI would disappear and no matter where I clicked, there were no options for interactions as well as the option menu anymore.
So I ha...
2020-10-04 11:08:04 +0000 UTC View PostMaking the video is taking longer then expected. I'm almost ready with making videos and screenshots, but I've also got several game freezes which causes things I've built to be lost.
I hope the problem is not the mod itself 😢
