I'm gonna need some help playtesting this one. Hit me with issues and conflict reports 🤓

So, this is a global mod for booths!

At restaurants, sims can now enter dining booths decorated with OMSPs or shiftable clutter, which was a problem before (for @gummilutt anyway 😏)

At home, sims can now successfully serve, eat and clean up dishes in inaccessible parts of tables with dining booths. They will jump in and out of booths or crawl under the table when they can't scoot over normally, for example, when all entry seats are occupied by other sims

They will be able to reach plates in the far corners to clean them or put away

Download for testing Night Life may be required? Not sure if there are booths in other EPs

Conflicts - Tableware Setter (a.k.a. table_setter) - let UseInaccessibleDiningBooth load after it, and they'll both work fine - Older versions of Helpers_AssignTablesChairs, updated today one tiny thing to make them compatible

Recommended Inge's -Is Chair a Booth- global patch - lets your game recognize custom booth chairs

I'm obsessed with these booths now, they are so fun and detailed! Have you seen the under the table animation when there's available entry seat and sims try to reach another blocked seat? ❤️

Functional Butterfly (& Firefly) Habitat + Caterpillar Incubator

I fell in love with these 4t2 conversions by @tvickiesims at first sight and just had to make functional versions.

When your sim manages to catch butterflies or fireflies, they can be moved from the jar to this habitat. Insects housed in the habitat will stay alive; if the habitat is outdoors, they will hibernate if the temperature drops below freezing.

Each habitat can house 3 batches of butterflies and 3 batches of fireflies, counted separately. You can make space for new batches by releasing the insects from the habitat.

The caterpillar incubator provides an alternate way to get butterflies. Stocking the incubator costs §18, after which you can watch the caterpillars evolve into adult butterflies over the following days.

Be cautious about leaving adult butterflies in the incubator, as they won't survive there forever. The butterflies can be either moved to a habitat or released into the wild.

If an incubator is outdoors and the temperature drops below freezing, the metamorphosis will stop progressing, unless it's already finished, in which case the adult butterflies will die.

Sims can view occupied incubators and habitats, autonomously too. Cats might find them interesting as well. About everything gives nature enthusiasm, and all interactions are available children up.

The files are compressed. Requires Pets and Seasons. The incubator won't work if you don't have the habitat in your downloads as well.

The habitat is a global mod that includes overrides for the bug jar and will conflict with other mods that alter the same resources. I haven't found anything that conflicts but as always, run HCDU to be sure. These can be used alongside Vickie's original conversions.

In debug mode, you can shift-click a Sim to spawn the MakeMeSick- Tester and infect them with Maxis diseases. It’s incredibly useful for ROS (Random Occurrence Scenario) gameplay and other shenanigans.

However, the vanilla tester is missing the Mysterious Disease, and it doesn't support any of the available custom diseases.

This plugin fixes that! And is part 1 of a bigger health related gameplay mod I am working on ;)

✨ The Updates:

New Infections: Adds the Mysterious Disease, which was missing from the original tool.

2. Now supports custom diseases from the community:

STD (by Chris Hatch) or its replacement The Great Pox by @hodgekiss

Adult Weakness & Elder’s Cough within @lamare-sims Random Death & Sickness mod.

Carbon Simoxide Poisoning from @lamare-sims gas generator.

3. Age Groups: STD option will not show up for Children. Lamare’s "Adult Weakness" can be given to Children and Teens, too (called "Weakness").

4. New Visuals: Changed the object model to the ingame Chemistry Sculpture.

5. Placement: Adjusted the Init BHAV so it is now placeable on all surfaces.

6. Localization Fix: Corrected the text string from "the Flue" to "the Flu" for non-english games.

⚠️ Important Requirements

The tester only triggers the initial infection! You must have the original mods by Chris Hatch (or @hodgekiss) or @lamare-sims installed for the costum diseases to progress in your game. That includes spreading around the STD via Woohoo. Mysterious diseases do work without an additional mod.

✨ Credits

@blueybre for allowing me to use the code of the guarding BHAV that will prevent users to give the diseases to critical NPCs. The original BCON tunability is still there.

@lamare-sims for allowing me to use parts of your coding. I kept a part of the original BCON tunability.

@episims, @midgethetree and @jellymeduza for their beautiful coding of their health and disease mods I used to poke around in and finaly allowed me to decipher the maxis disease coding.

Installation & Compatibility

Choose Only One Version! All 4 diseases: MakeMeSick-plugin-all4 Mysterious & Lamare's only: MakeMeSick-plugin-noSTD Compatibility: Should not conflict with other health or sickness mods. You may need all packs. Please report issues.

If ever you struggled with how to hide the necessary pool tile for the sea/pond water mod? I have, and so has my friend @ladyvondolladay. She had an idea, and I made it a reality.

I present to you — the terrain rug. A two poly sheet with terrain paint textures that you can slap over your pool tile and hide it completely. Thank you @picknmixsims for sharing the shader info I needed to make the texture actually blend in this perfectly!

There are recolors to match all 30 maxis terrains, swatch folder is included. I chose to only do full strength, as the combinations quickly get out of hand otherwise. If you are interested in making your own recolors to match custom terrains or common blends you use, I'll include an explanation of how I did it under the cut.

You'll find it in deco/rugs, it costs nothing. 2 poly, textures are 256x256.

Download on simfileshare

Credits: Calibrat who helped me with the names of terrains in English for swatch purposes. LadyVonDolladay for the original idea. @pforestsims who suggested the problem with getting texture to match might be shader related.

I got a wcif for this hair today, so here it is! This is Lisa 86′s Messy Bob in the usual remi colors, though I left the original textures intact because I’m hopeless at retexturing. I included a version with the original bangs as well as a quick alpha edit with shorter straight across ones instead. Unfortunately this hair is only YA-EF :-/

Yesterday, I downloaded Skell’s extracted Ideal Plantsim to use in my uberhood, and while reading her headcanon that the Ideal Plantsim is actually a fairy who created plantsims, I came up with the idea for this mod! Fairy Godparents adds three more “Ideal Plantsims” to your game: Jennicor Tricou, Oberon Gossamer, and Titania Summerdream. In my canon, the four fairies got together one day, drank a little too much nectar, and accidentally created a species 😂

There are two versions: download the first one if Apartment Life or Mansion and Garden Stuff is your newest EP/SP, or download the second if your newest EP is Seasons, Bon Voyage, or Freetime.

Funny2401's Pine Trees Repo'd to Basegame

All 3 trees will now pull textures from the Pointy Tings Pencil Pine Tree. I also took Funny's dark green texture and made it into a recolor for the Maxis pine tree

yagami's Hip Mandarin Outfit for AF Repo'd to Basegame

These now pull textures from the TF outfits. Pinned to the BG section of CAS but not townified. Set as Everyday

Barely Pediment Edgings

I'm chronically short of fences to use as edgings, something that looks like a natural border between outdoor tiles and grass.

Which is how this edging came to be. I gave it 9 recolors; two are repo'd to the University EP mini-pediment that I edited to create this new mesh. Perfect match!

Sims can walk over the edgings. Without stumbling, too. (The manufacturer is not liable for any damage, injury, or loss resulting from using this product.)

Hello everyone, you may have seen my wonderfully useful no face slider april fools post - It's now time for something a bit more... everyday. This is what I was actually making before goofing off there for a bit. It's a full-face slider for well, face size.

It shrinks/increases the size of a sim's facial features (eyes, brows, mouth and nose) as a whole without altering the outer margins of the face where it connects to the neck/scalp, and I'm hoping the images above illustrate this a bit more effectively than I'm currently describing.

Available in both bodyshop and CAS

As always, if you spot any issues let me know and I'll try and fix them asap

Down The Rabbit Hole - Resource "Rabbit Holes"

This set of "rabbit holes" were made in mind to help users obtain resources without having to have the resources on a lot, or visit another lot that has them. They also are intended to replicate the "rabbit hole" function of a sim "being away" but without the consequence of weird time between community and home lot, or time fast forwarding on a home lot when all sims are technically off lot.

They were made this way so that it can be played as if one sim is gone for a certain number of hours, but the rest of the household can go about their day as you play them.

They are not required for any of our other mods to function, but in contrast you require nearly ALL raw resource mods we've made to have these function fully.

THESE OBJECTS WILL NOT FUNCTION ALONE, THEY ARE NOT INTENDED FOR STANDALONE USE.

See below the cut for basic rundown, and make sure to read the manual for full outcomes.

Small bug fix for a pie menu error in the River/Pond Biome Hut. Sims can now properly forage for reeds and clay, not just reeds. Please redownload the archive and replace needed files.

4t2 Terrain Paints ⛅

I converted some terrain paints that I really liked and I'm here to share! Yippee! Hooray! Terrain paint be upon ye! Wahooo! ✨

Just Reinstalled, Huh? ✨

This is a continually updated list of everything that I use to get the game situated how I like it after a 'pooter reset. I hope that this helps both new and seasoned players! :-)

- Improvements for apartments: sims won't consider neighbor's laundry objects, unless they're standing in neighbor's apartment - Maids will stay on the lot and wait for a washing machine to finish, so that they can dry or put away clean clothes - Your sims will get motive bonuses if non-family members do their laundry on livable lots (i.e. if you influenced them) - Disallowed washing clothes on Hotel lots, 'cause hotel housekeepers ARE CURSED - Laundry bag no longer slowly fades, but quickly disappears, after sims put away clean clothes from washers/dryers, 'cause slow fade was too slow - A configuration of ChangeOutfitLeaveClothingPile(100%) where sims drop clothes almost every time if there are no hampers, even neat sims; and if there are hampers, sloppy sims still sometimes leave a pile (closer to how it works in sims 3 & 4) - More expensive machines work faster - Edited prices; a dryer costs $1 more than a washer from the same set, 'cause I kept confusing them in the catalogue!
