Welcome to the Unknown

WINDENBURG PALACE, 2052 Diego, if he admitted it, was beginning to enjoy his lessons with Melody. She was like a breath of fresh air – with her opinions… And her peculiar mannerisms… And while she was still irritating, still a challenge at times, she was also strangely endearing. ‘We’ll stop here for today,’ he said, rising from the silk sofa in the state room. The scent of sea salt emanating…

He has a situationship with Marnie he is DESPERATE to hide due to his position as Mayor despITE THE FACT THAT NOBODY WOULD CARE. He's all up in his own ass for no fucking reason when he does the bare fucking minimum.

MEANWHILE my boy Theo, Raccoon Mayor of Grimshire changes his whole-ass biological sleep schedule in order to run his town. Yes, he likes finer things like cheeses and seems lazy on the surface.

But he DOES work hard. He DOES try deeply for the town. He DESPERATELY doesn't want any of the residents to die, even if it means accepting scorn and hate from the villagers as he bows his head to the demands of the Army and Pirates.

The villagers lament that they wish Percy was mayor and talk about how hard he works (and he does!! I love that little man!!) and look to him when things start going down because he is such a public face of the towns government-

But in the end, when things are at the most dire and even Percy is shaking and even he doesn't know what to do or say-

Theo steps up. He stops bowing his head and bares his teeth. He rallys his people, lays out a very good plan for the town to SURVIVE, and people listen.

Sandwich Recolours - Base Game Hairs

Well that took WAY longer than I was expecting. Between health issues, family visiting and almost 2000 files to create and then messing up half of those and having to redo them... its been a journey and a half but it's finally done!

75 additional swatches for all Base Game hairs - 30 Unnaturals - 20 Naturals - 20 Neutrals

Disabled for random

Finish up the backpack mod (top priority)

Do those poster conversions (I have the pngs, I just need to make the different mesh sizes)

Come back to the historical portraits (I need to actually build sets for these...which is the current roadblock)

Finish up the drawings for the cc thing (the thing I occasionally post updates for)

Do more drawing (kinda low priority but its relaxing) - Kinda done

Finish up the sims 2 conversions (on hold for now, will come back tot hem eventually)

oh and answer the asks in my askbox...I forgot about those

Finish up the pet treat mod

Do those poster conversions (I have the pngs, I just need to make the different mesh sizes)

So I'm based in the UK and if tumblr goes forth with this change, this may affect my ability to reblog certain posts, currently I can still see them but I won't (and you shouldn't either) give any site access to my personal ID. Those sites are notorious for leaks even if they say they delete everything.

So, what does this mean for you. Pretty simple, if tumblr goes through with this change, I won't be able to reblog any resources that tumblr's system flags as mature content (and it flags some weird stuff sometimes as NSFW). I apologise in advance as it's an annoying thing to have to deal with but there's not much I can do about it.

This was an idea that I got randomly while looking for camping build/buy items and, after an initial 8 hours, managed to get working. This took way more hours and many versions to make work exactly as I wanted.

Menus

There are four options when you click on the backpack. One is put in inventory, the other three are buy menus.

Camping Supplies - Has Beds/Sleeping Bags/Tents and some other miscellaneous camping things (like coolers, portable shower, Pet Stuff etc.)

Adventure Supplies - Has all the Jungle Adventure supplies, the Snowy Escape Supplies and some other stuff like Cameras, Drones, a tripod and even some Wellness and Aging Treats for your sims' favourite companions.

Vehicles - Has Bikes, Boats, Snow Boards and Skis

Known/Potential Issues

Clicking "purchase vehicle" causing a last exception. This was only reported by one tester but I wanted to make you aware of it anyway. Most people had no issues with it!

Files Explained

Overrides - Delete these if you don't own the packs they're from.

Tuning File - The main tuning file. You need this in order for them to function

Sims 3 and Sims 4 Backpack - The backpacks themselves!

Other Stuff

It can go in your sims inventory, either by clicking put in inventory or dragging it in there.

All the items come (for the most part) in their default swatch as I didn't want to clutter up the menus too much.

Possible Future Plans

These are not set in stone and are subject to change as time goes on!

Add categories within the purchase menus for sorting + add additional swatches of the items

Add the ability to put items in the backpack

Add the ability to name the backpack

DISCLAIMER: This is only my second time making a mod (and my first time with custom tuning. If you encounter any issues please let me know and I'll try my best to resolve them! Please back up your saves before installing in case its a little buggy!

BONUS

I've included a decorative version of the backpack. It's a separate download in case anyone just wants that.

Special thanks to @lupusdragon @muselolyayxx @mrsracooney and @simscognito for testing this for me.

Vehicles menu now properly shows the skis

Vehicles purchased in the Vehicle menu now correctly go into your sims inventory.
