Meduza's place

21st of May 2026: edit of Midge’s edit of Slow Aging Controller - added Sims with Klyntar in their inventory as supernaturals that can be assigned non-standard aging

22nd of May 2026: Klyntar mod - edit of Kiss…/Transfer symbiote - now only Sims who actually have Venom outfit (put on via Symbiote…/Turn Into…/ action) on them will dress back into everyday after transferring symbiote

22nd of May 2026: symbiote fight and symbiote scare - now only Sims who actually have Venom outfit (put on via Symbiote…/Turn Into…/ action) on them will dress back into everyday after losing a fight. For Symbiote scare mod (symbiote versions only), now only Sims who actually have Venom outfit (put on via Symbiote…/Turn Into…/ action) on them willbe able to scare ther Sims by disappearing and reappearing

22nd of May 2026: symbiotes howl - now only Sims who have either Headed Classic Venom or Headed Agent Venom outfit on (put on via Symbiote…/Turn Into…/ action), will have the action enabled. Moreover, I added a version that lets Headed Venoms howl autonomously. Without getting into details, it’s a fake autonomy that borrows from social interactions, so if there are no Sims on the lot beside the active Sim, the action won’t be performed autonomously, but it’s something

24th of May 2026: Contempto Good Livin’ chair-bed, Satinistics sofa-bed - included @lamare-sims​‘ off grid placement fix

26th of May 2026: Klyntar mod - added autonomous version of Symbiote…/Talk to.  It’s a fake autonomy that borrows from social interactions, so if there are no Sims on the lot beside the active Sim, the action won’t be performed autonomously. Moreover, I added new mod Symbiote…/Abandon. With it, Klyntar host will take a symbiote from their inventory and put it on the floor. You’ll be able to see a thought bubble on the Klyntar blob, showing that it’s not happy being abandoned. I also updated Symbiote…/Play to add effects showing that the symbiote is happy and the Klyntar blob object to support effects being displayed on symbiote. Get updated object!

31st of May 2026: part 1 of bending mod - updated Meduza_AccObjectBending to hold more effects

31st of May 2026: bending duel - added sparks of electricity if a Sim dodges a lightning. I als improved dodging, making Sims jump forth and back, instead of only back (no teleportation!) and updated Meduza_AccObjectBending to hold more effects

31st of May 2026: witches can practise magic - now if you have in your downloads a file called Meduza_AccObjectBending (included with download), there’s a chance that successful spellcasting will produce a jet of flying light. I also improved the length of TS3 animations

2nd of June 2026: TS3 lifeguard animbox - improved speed of animations

4th of June 2026: custom cellphone mod - added two new custom fantasy cellphones: @fracturedmoonlight​‘s Skyrim Skill Runestone Cellphones (alongside WoW recolor) and @fracturedmoonlight​‘s TSM Plumbbob (Philosopher’s stone). They work only as cellphones, so no mp3, handheld game, camera or light features for them. They can be found in electronics/small for $500 and can be also bought from my Custom Crystal Phones Vending Kiosk. For best looks use @crispsandkerosene’s CandK_ExtendedStandardMaterialShader (or CandK_StandardShaderEdit_PLUS_ld_BrightCASFix if you want to use LazyDuchess Bright CAS fix). Please replace Meduza_BO_cellphone_DoesSimHave_PhonesForAll, Meduza_cellphone_DoesSimHave, Meduza_cellphoneBHAVs, Meduza_custom_cellphone_answer_alfixes and Meduza_lamare_cellphoneBHAVs_HoldThatPhone with updated versions!

4th of June 2026: custom crystal phones vending kiosk - updated to add support to two new custom fantasy cellphones: @fracturedmoonlight​‘s Skyrim Skill Runestone Cellphones (alongside WoW recolor) and @fracturedmoonlight​‘s TSM Plumbbob (Philosopher’s stone)

20th of June 2026: university project - added compatibility plug-in for MogHughson’s University Mod for use with the Desk Locator and added trait support that I had forgotten about

27th of June 2026: witches gain energy by meditating - improved the speed of TSM animations, replaced some awkward animations with “bask in the sun” animations from AL, removed shine from treemancer staff and wooden staff

4th of July 2026: flyable TS4 rocket - fixed enthusiasm gain. When I first added it I was confused novice and later I’ve never bothered checking if it truly works. 😬

14th of July 2026: vanity table make over - now adult lip balm animation and child lip balm animation have their unique custom facial animations, thanks to this tutorial and this tutorial ^^ Thanks a lot for being patient with me, @mafugoro-agenda-warrior!

26th of July 2026: cowplants don’t eat nannies - owplants now won’t eat butlers too (as butlers can take care of children too). Moreover, I added a version of the mod that is compatible with @missirissims​‘ traitmod_cowplantsurvival, called Meduza_CowplantsDontEatNannies_CowplantSurvival_Name. Delete my Meduza_CowplantsDontEatNannies and missirissims’ traitmod_cowplantsurvival if you want to use both and use my compatibility edit instead. This compatible version was also made compatible with @episims​‘s Cowplant Mod - missirissims’ traitmod_cowplantsurvival has a string conflict with Epi’s mod, which is now resolved, so make sure my edit loads after Epi’s mod. Additionally, I edited @missirissims​‘ traitmod_cowplantsurvival to make it compatible with Epi’s mod even if you don’t want my Cowplants Don’t Eat Nannies. This edit is called traitmod_cowplantsurvival_EpiName and it doesn’t include my Cowplants Don’t Eat Nannies, make sure this edit loads after Epi’s mod.

Love all your mods, thank you for sharing! For the new vanity table mod, I was wondering if there’s an easy way of editing where the Sim who’s doing the makeover would stand. I’m trying to emulate how a servant would do their mistress’s look, and want them to stand behind the stool (and changing some animations, but that part should be fine).

Thanks for your input ☺️

Hi!

I haven't tried my hand at editing slots in vanity tables, but here are my thoughts on the matter after short inspection. Take them with a grain of salt, I might be completely wrong, but it's some starting point.

Is there an easy way of editing? Well, depends on how you define "easy". ;) Unfortunately, most likely each vanity table would need editing separately.

I believe that the place where the Sim that gives a makeover is standing is determined by BHAV CT - Teach - Route To:

Now we know that Seasons vanity table gives us three routing slots where makeovering Sim is standing: routing slot 0x3, routing slot 0x4 and routing slot 0x5. We also can see that a Sim will try to approach routing slot 0x3 at first, if they fail slot 0x4 and slot 0x5 as the last one.

That forces us to look into the SLOT resource. I recommend familiarising yourself with it. Here's an overview on SLOT resource and here's an overview on slots in general.

Slots are numbered staring from 0, which brings us to look at three last routing slots.

Since their S2 is 0 that means they won't be found in CRES, but their coordinates are stored in Float 1, Float 2 and Float 3. Therefore, you need to edit F1, F2 and F3 of the last three routing slots. I wouldn't recommend giving all three slots the same value - if a Sim would fail to reach the first one, that would mean they would also fail to reach the other two.

Hi!

Sorry it took me so long - I needed to check what I' ve actually changed when I updated intruments from Atavera's hack to Argon's hack. 😅

How to update instruments to Argon's hack

Updating instruments is actually pretty simple. You need to update two types of resources: BHAV (functions) and OBJD (Object Data)

Start with downloading resources that you will import into package: at SFS | alt

We will start with BHAVs

In function Function - Init 0,1 Lead (in my example instance 0x00001032, but it may be different in other objects) change node 0x1 to No-Op (global 0x02F3). Commit changes.

2. Replace BHAVs Interaction - Perform TEST and Interaction - Practice TEST with resources included in the upload you downloaded. In my example they have instances respectively 0x00001038 and 0x0000103A, but in your case they may have different instances.

3. Move to OBJDs. In OBJD instance 0x000041A7 (main BJD) replace Orig. GUID and Fallback GUID so that both have value 0x4EA0E858. Commit changes.

4. In OBJD instance 0x000041AB (lead OBJD) replace Orig. GUID and Fallback GUID so that both have value 0x6EF2CC17. Commit changes.

Vanity Table Make Over

TS2 tends to be praised for its detailed objects, however, TS2 vanity tables seem rather lackluster compared to TS4 vanity tables. Therefore, I decided to improve vanity tables a bit. :)

TS4 Make Up animations added to TS2 vanity tables

First part is a global mod that adds four TS4 adult animations and one TS4 child animation to vanity tables that your Sims will perform when changing their appearance with the use of a vanity table.

It comes in two versions - CHOOSE ONE:

Meduza_VanityTableMakeUp - standard version

Meduza_VanityTableMakeUp_PlantsimChangeHair - choose this version if you have Plantsims Can Change Hair Mod and make my mod load after Midge's

I also converted TS4 make up accessories - they are stored in one-OBJD mulitstate object (your objects limit likes that!): Meduza_TS4_MakeUp_ObjAcc, so you need to keep it. It's hidden from the buy catalog and its only purpose is appearing in Sims' hands while they are putting on make-up.

I also made changing appearance cancellable - if you cancel the action while your Sim is already sitting at a vanity table, they will perform TS4 animations, but you won't get the change appearance window. It might be useful for storytelling purposes. :)

There is one downside - the way changing other Sims' appearance at a vanity table works. The Sim who gives another Sim a makeover stands next to them and gives them lecture, so with this mod the Sim that is given a makeover does their make-up on their own while the other stands next to them and preaches. xD Maybe I'll try to alter this behaviour at some point, but converting animations has exhausted me.

As this mod also uses OFB powder cloud effect and powder puff, I recommend using this mod alongside @pforestsims' powder default.

Update 14th of July 2026: now adult lip balm animation and child lip balm animation have their unique custom facial animations, thanks to this tutorial and this tutorial ^^

2. More interactions with vanity tables

The second part is not a global mod, because every vanity tables has its own pie menu table. :(

I added new interactions to three in-game vanity tables (Uni, Seasons and Teen Style):

gussy up

practice speech - I used @jacky93sims' function from their Professional Make Up Vanity Table

use zits cream (teens only)

Zits cream animation looks a bit wonky at times, but it was the best I could get.

Since this is not a global mod, it won't affect custom vanity tables - new interactions have to be added separately if you want them on other vanity tables.

I added new interactions to four custom vanity tables (included with upload):

One tile University, Seasons and Teen Style vanity tables by tbudgett

Queen Elize vanity table by Kate at Parsimonious

I changed their filenames to make edited versions easily distinguishable from originals.

You need to keep Meduza_VanityTableMoreInteractions_Required in your downloads for extra interactions to work, unless you have Meduza_VanityTableTS4MakeUp - then you can delete Meduza_VanityTableMoreInteractions_Required.

Update 14th of July 2026: updated Meduza_VanityTableMoreInteractions_Required to add custom facial animations to Adult Anim STR

Change Wand From Inventory

I also made a mod that lets your spellcasters switch between the wands they have in their inventory without the need to use Midge's wand stands or click on a wand in live mode.

The action can be found under Witch…/Choose Wand…/ or Wizard…/Choose Wand…/.

Once you select the action, your Sim will show you the wand they will be using. Sometimes the wand is placed oddly in their hand, but I decided to live with it and move on.

@midgethetree's Pick Your Wand IS REQUIRED for this mod to work.

However, I recommend using this mod with my edit of Midge's Pick Your Wand as it includes Gryning's TS4 wands and my wandless magic.

Hi!

No, compatibility plug-in for Mog's Desk Locator works only for Mog's Desk Locator. Pick'N'Mix' Homework Folder mod edits the same resources, but in a different way. I'd have to make a separate plug-in for Pick'N'Mix' mod, but right now I don't really want to add more compatibility plug-ins to School Project - there is already a plenty of them and I'm losing track.

This bi-monthly theme at GoS gave me some inspiraton, so here's a mod to celebrate GoS returning. :)

This mod gives university students a chance of bringing college project instead of standard written homework, using TS4 Discover University meshes and textures.

Project will look differently for each major. Undeclared Sims and custom majors get randomly one of 11 projects.

Chance of bringing a college project is by default 20%.

College projects take longer to finish, but are more rewarding, letting your Sims gain some skills and hobby enthusiasm. There's 50/50 chance of gaining either logic skill or charisma skill, because those are the skills that made sense to me in the college project context.

As for enthusiasm:

Art project makes your Sims gain Art and Craft enthusiasm,

Biology project makes your Sims gain Nature enthusiasm,

Drama, History, Philosophy and Literature projects make your Sims gain Film and Literature enthusiasm,

Economics, Maths/IT, Physics and Psychology projects make your Sims gain Science enthusiasm,

Political Science project makes your Sims gain Games enthusiasm.

I know some of subjects might not be the best match for certain hobbies, but I didn't want to turn everything into Science and there's history of everything, so this major could fit into many hobbies, like art, music etc.

Sims have a chance of making college project of one of three qualities: low, mid and high. The outcome depends on Sim's grade and getting help with the project (but it only counts if it happens during quality check).

If you use Smonaff's Fall Asleep While Doing Homework, Sims who have fallen asleep while working on their project can't make projects of high quality.

Additionally, Sims with Ambitious, Genius or Perfectionist trait get bonus making it easier for them to get better quality project, while Absent-Minded and Clumsy Sims will get penalty. Sims with Can't Stand Art trait will get penalty if they are working on an Art project. Bonuses do not stack. Penalties also don't. So if your Sim is genius and perfectionist, they will get only one bonus. Bonus and penalty can cancel each other out.

This mod conflicts with some mods:

if you are using simler90's Homework Assignment Mod (Full Version - it doesn't conflict with Placement Version), choose plug-in "zz_Meduza_UniversityProject_AssignmentFull" and make it load after both my mod and simler90's mod,

if you are using smonaff's Fall Asleep While Doing Homework, choose plug-in called "zz_Meduza_Smonaff_UniversityProjectFallAsleep" and make it load after both my mod and smonaff's mod,

if you are using @episims' Pencils by Color Traits, choose plug-in called "zz_Meduza_UniversityProject_ColorPencil" - Epi's mod doesn't conflict with mine, but you need this plug-in to get colorful pencils,

if you are using Dave_Luv's Faster Homework, choose plug-in called "zz_Meduza_UniversityProject_FasterHomework" and make it load after both my mod and Dave_Luv's mod,

if you are using MogHughson's University Mod for use with the Desk Locator, choose plug-in called "zz_Meduza_UniversityProject_UniDeskLocator" and make it load after both my mod and MogHughson's mod.

DO NOT use my plug-in for simler90's Homework Assignment Mod (Full version) and my plug-in for Dave_Luv's Faster Homework - these mods are incompatible.

There's an issue when a project board is facing wall - the project won't turn around and your Sim will be doing their project even though they are facing the board's back. Right now I don't have a good solution for that. The best I can offer you is that you can cancel the action and turn the board around in the Buy mode. :/

Update 20th June 2026: yeah, the same day I published the mod 😅 added compatibility plug-in for MogHughson's University Mod for use with the Desk Locator and added trait support that I had forgotten about

Edit of EarlyPleasantview's magic duel

This is an edit of @earlypleasantview's Magic Duel.

To my knowledge EPV's mod has never left testing stage, but I've been using it for years with only some minor issues. Thus, I decided to polish it's rough edges a bit. :) I also changed filenames to make them more distinguishable.

From EPV's description of the mod:

Dueling – how it works – Available for Witches/Warlocks. Non-autonomous. Needs at least one selectable witch/warlock. Builds Magic Skill, but does not affect alignment. Non fatal. Scoring is based on Magic skill level, Plus number of successful hits. The Sim with the highest magic skill and the most successful hits win and a random magic reagent is placed in their inventory. Successful Hits – Every Body point gives a Sim a 7% chance of dodging out of spell’s way. Every Logic point gives a Sim a 7% chance of predicting that the other Sim is going to dodge and hitting them anyway. Round ends when one Sim casts five spells or when both Sims cast three spells each.

I made changes to the dodging mechanic. Now Sims will jump forth and back, instead of only jumping back, which looked like teleporting. Moreover, I added a chance of parrying an attack instead of jumping away - chance of dodging/parrying still depends on the body skill, but now witches/wizards with high magic skill have a chance of parrying. I converted two parry animations from TS3 magic duel. :)

Additionally, I added projectiles - if a Sim dodges or parries an attack, you'll be able to see a jet of light flying in their direction. For this mechanic you need my file called "Meduza_AccObjectBending", included in the upload. However, there are no projectiles if a hit is successful, because I also like an idea of spells working remotely and it felt like a good compromise.

The duel will work without the projectiles object, but you won't get cool effects.

Wandless magic

This is an edit of @midgethetree's Pick Your Wand.

I edited @gryning's version, so it includes their TS4 wands.

Replace original files with my edit.

With this edit, your witches and wizards can cast spells without a wand. You need to buy "Magic Hands" trait, found in General/Misc for $0. This trait is different from other traits - placing it in Sim's inventory won't do anything.

You NEED to click on it as select "Set As Wand" option. After that you can place the trait in Sim's inventory, but that's not necessary.

Alternatively, buy one of wand stands and choose "Change Wand…/Magic Hands".
