A thousand thanks yous to the amazing @freezerbnuuy for making this overcharge effects ring, I have been WAITING for this finale scene where I could finally use it 😍😍 It really cut down my (admittedly low effort) editing time having it already in game.

Also, through some conversations on IG I realised that not everyone knows about SFX CC and I wanted to link to another couple that I super like. There's @igorstory 's FX Bracelet and @lovelymindlonelyheart 's Magic Ring, both of which have some really fun effects for your spellcasters!

for those who have all their poses in separate files like me because there’s no tutorials on it for some reason

DISCLAIMER: this does NOT go over how to make poses, work the rigplus, or navigate blender!!!

// before we proceed, prepare the following:

blend file containing your pose with a timeline window open (hereafter referred to as [BLEND A])

blend file containing the rigplus for the pose to be “pasted” into with an asset browser window open (hereafter referred to as [BLEND B])

// ok let’s get on with the actual tutorial now

in [BLEND A], insert a keyframe with BOTH rigs visible. make sure the normal rig is still selected! (for good measure, i like to clear my keyframes for both rigs to make sure i don’t have any duplicates or anything)

hide the normal rig and select the rigplus. then, in your timeline window, click “copy pose as asset”.

without closing [BLEND A], open [BLEND B]. in your asset browser, switch the library from “all” to “current file”. then on the header, click “asset > paste as new asset”.

hide the normal rig and select the rigplus (again). right click on your newly created pose asset, hit “apply pose”, and profit (don’t forget to keyframe again as you normally would!)

// troubleshooting

i can’t paste the pose as a new asset!

make sure you do NOT close the blend file you’re copying the pose from! leave it open until after you’ve added the pose to the asset library.

when i try to apply the pose, nothing happens!

this is probably because you didn’t have the right rig selected. after inserting a keyframe, make sure the normal rig is hidden and the rigplus is selected when you copy the pose!

// miscellaneous notes

this is the method i figured out when i was making my first all-in-one pose animation. copy-pasting poses as you would with the normal rig doesn't work with the rigplus, so i fiddled around a bit until i came up with this!

dm me or send an ask if you have any questions! i'm certainly no expert, but i'll do my best to help!

Shag-a-Delic Stairs and Platform Trims: a Perfect Party Stuff Add-On 🦐

Welcome back to the party!  I still have such a soft spot for the 70's inspired Perfect Party Set I made with @gilded-ghosts - it was my first collab ever, and it's so special to me! That being said, I've wanted to make some official matching shag carpeted stairs and platform trims for a long time. ( Shout out to @melbrewer367 for the inspiration! ) I hope you enjoy them, and they bring you some sort of sick shag covered joy.

phone call animations override

download on patreon (early access) (public release - 01/25/25)

this mod replaces the animations for phone calls, adding four new poses, with different ones for each gender.

age groups: teenagers to elders.

included poses:

sitting on dining or desk chairs

sitting on sofas or living chairs

animations on all other surfaces will remain as they are.

all transitions are smooth! you might notice slight clipping at the start or end of the animations, but it shouldn't affect gameplay.

also you should know:

if your sim is pregnant, the animation might not look good with the belly. unfortunately, i don’t know how to fix it in this mod, but i hope it won’t bother you too much.

i did not modify the animation for "video calls".

if you have the "cupid's heart" expansion pack, the "flirt" action on the phone will also use the new poses.

p.s. i made this override as an addition to my previous mod, "extended phone calls", after my sims started calling everyone 24/7, i thought they should do it in a cuter way! :)

A situation... or maybe not?

This mod is an alternative to "No Macabre Pose in UI" - pick one.

A few people wondered if I can make a mod similar to "Trait Based Portrait Thumbnails" but for in-game UI thumbnails.

Here's why I didn't want to do this initially:

The pose that is used for the UI is used all over the game, in the household panel (neutral/fine mood), relationship panel, sim picker menu, main menu etc. Overriding one overrides the others.

A trait based pose where the moods go doesn't make quite sense since (emotional) personality traits and moods overlap and this could be confusing: A hotheaded sim would look angry in his default/"fine" state, a gloomy sim sad, a romantic sim flirty.

Another issue I see is that trait based poses in general are somewhat of a spoiler. Normally you need to discover a sims personality, here you see it at a glance. I think this is particularly bad for the relationship panel. (And this is one of the reasons why I think that the macabre pose is silly and a weird choice.)

Anyways I figured I could do an option that is a bit more subtle and still accomplishes a similar goal:

I made three personality dimensions: One for traits associated with positive emotion (cheerful, good etc.), one for traits accociated with negative emotion (gloomy, mean etc.) and a neutral for in-between.

For the positive and negative emotional dimensions I made two new poses that go along with it. One is a bit more smiley than the default, the other one more of a straight face. I left EAs default pose for all other traits in-between. (The traits I assigned are displayed in the cover picture above.)

This mod will work for adults (teen-elder) and kids (for traits that are shared by kids and adults).

So this is somewhat of an experiment still, but I wanted to put it out there, tell me what you think 😄

For the Life and Death expansion pack a trait based pose for the new Macabre trait was added - weirdly enough EA did this for this trait only which makes no sense to me (not sure what future plans hold) and I also wasn't quite happy with the way this was done.

On the one hand this pose is all over the UI (mod for it here) looking very out of place, especially being the only trait based pose.

But I like the idea of poses matching the personality style of the sims and wish they had done this one properly. So I expanded on the idea making use of the new feature by adding more trait based poses. I focussed here on portrait thumbnails (Household pictures) only though. I originally wanted to put this to use for custom (group) poses made for the Gallery but sadly, to make this work, I need to override traits which flags sims as CC. This renders the whole enterprise rather useless for the Gallery :'( Still nice for in-game though, I think.

Endearing Eyelet Dress

A spring/summer floral eyelet dress. This one has been sitting in my WIP folder for years, so I'm glad I get to finally share it with you all. As with all poofy dresses in ts4, the weights aren't perfect but it's as good as it's going to get and shouldn't interfere with gameplay. Hope you enjoy!
