Something I forgot to mention in my former post and what's better visible in this screenshot, is that the deco slot direction is set to outside. In my opinion, it's fine this way as it's nicer to look at the front of a bear from outside then to it's back.
Of course just as with all other de...

Hello everyone,
The first 3 windows have been 'slotted'. You might notice though that for the short version of this 'Angled Box' window, the texture seems to be broken. I have no idea if this is something which is happening in everyones game or just in some as I didn't see many other people...

Hope you had a lovely weekend?
As the bone fish object has been released last week, it's time for something new!
This time it won't have anything to do with certain effects as something I noticed when looking through the Eco Lifestyle objects, was that the windows with t...

Animated - Animated - (Filthy) Bone Fish + Eagle
This project started with just the bone fish and the possibility to spawn an eagle effect.
In the end much more was added!
For more info and tips and tricks, take a look at the video.
I just noticed my 50th patron has joined in. So Veronica, thank you for completing my goal!
I'm aware of the fact that some of you might delete your pledge at some point which will make the total of supporters less then 50, but I did reach it!
I really didn't expect this to happen when I...

My last sneak peek for today!
I'm planning to include this lot/scene in my video too as the bone fish objects perfectly fits in this ocean/beach scene. In scenes like this one I won't use the eagle effect version, but the one that has the optional filthy vfx and maybe the uncomfortable mood.

Yesterday I mentioned I would add a second and third swatch, but after thinking about adding as much different possibilites as possible, I made 4 different swatches.
In the object catalog this will be shown as 4 colorstripes in the colors green, yellow, orange and red. Each of these swatches w...
I already promised the sneak peek about the custom On/Off switch for yesterday, but as it's incredibly hot at the moment here in The Netherlands and I didn't wanted to melt away on my room, I skipped it yesterday.

In the above image the 'eat fish' interaction for cats is shown. This will be an automatic interaction for cats as well as an optional interaction when using the Controllable Pets mod.

Here it is, the Custom Filthy Fish Buff which gives your Sims an uncomfortable mood when being near. When walking away from the bone fish, the uncomfortable mood will disappear too! 😀
This is the scene I mentioned in the former post by the way, but I found another scene quite...

While working on the Bonefish and it's cat interaction, I tested it in an older save file where these docks were part of the lot and where a cat was part of the household.
Looking at the docks I noticed that they had the problem of seeing other object's shadows right through them. As I migh...

I've just had a new idea for the bone fish, but I still need to get it working together with the other things I've already added.
My idea was to also add an interaction for cats. The fishpile objects in game have an interaction for a cat to eat it for example. As m...

The image above shows the custom buff icon I made for the bone fish after a Sim has come near AND after the additional visual effects have been switched on at least one time.
If you don't switch on the additional green smoke and flies, the uncomfortable mood won't appear either. This is for if...
First of all, the new object is not going to release this week. There have been quite some days I wasn't home much and that will continu the upcoming days. So the bone fish with all attached visual effects will probably be released next friday.

I did some more today besides only adding the Eagle vfx, but I've spend quite some time doing tests with it.
First of all, right now it's flying way too low above the ground. It's easy to fix that, but for the other testing I did, it was more handy to keep it low for now.
The 'problem' i...

The Aurora mod has been finished and uploaded, so now it's time for a new idea.
As Sims 4 Studio hasn't been updated yet to support Eco Lifestyle mods, I need to take a look at one of my older ideas.
A few weeks ago I already shared the idea of making an object that w...

With the Eco Lifestyle Expansion Pack, Auroras became part of our Sims worlds.
For this mod though, you only need the Base Game and you can decide for yourself where you want them to appear. This can even be on vacation- or hidden lot...
As I mentioned yesterday, I still had an idea for the Mysterious Polaroid to make it even more mysterious. The outcome can be seen by switching between the first and second image.
First of all, I've placed a fern and a Sim besides the polaroid, so the size can be seen a bit better. On...

On the first image you see what I've come up with as object to spawn the Aurora.
I first named it Aurora Borealis, but that seems to be wrong as it isn't a Northern Light. Especially now you can place it every where you want to.
So the object is a polaroid picture of an Aurora, that can ...

I've finally got my hands on the new vfx codes that came with the Eco Lifestyle pack.
