Simfileshare finally works again, which means I can post new things!

Forgive me the dim lighting, won't you?

"The Sun Kiss" is a prime example of Willard Leroy Metcalf's Impressionist landscapes. Metcalf was an American impressionist who studied in France and spent some time at Giverny, at the artist colony there. Many of his paintings depict New England, including this one, believed to be set in Connecticut or Maine.

This is a recolor/resizing of the base game cosmolux canvas, altered to be four tiles wide.

Frederic Leighton's Flaming June has been a hit since its presentation in 1895 at the Royal Academy of Arts in London. Leighton built his reputation for "depictions of women in allegorical or mythological guises, their erotic appeal disciplined by elegant grandeur." The giant aesthetic work originally came in a grand tabernacle frame, until the builder who found it languishing in a house sold it off and the art materials shop that bought it thought the frame more valuable than the painting and separated them. It currently belongs to the Museo de Arte de Ponce in Puerto Rico.

"My own cottage! Finally! Now I just need to furnish it!"

Tulip Faechild, a young fairy newly out on her own, has moved into a tiny cottage near Henford-on-Bagley. Finding a coffee table with her namesake flowers for legs, Tulip has sourced a variety of matching furnishings from the craftsmen and women around her.

In other words, she's been a right terror to the humans in the vicinity, working a variety of traditional fairy tricks to incentivize them to produce the goods she wants. Spoiled milk, changelings, fairy circles, fools gold-- for the craftspeople of Henford-on-Bagley she can't finish decorating soon enough.

I just found out some creators have had their simfileshare hacked and their downloads replaced by zip files containing executables that are likely malware (I'm getting this from the SimsAfterDark Discord-- check there for more info). Simfileshare is down right now, so I can't clear my files just yet, but I wanted to help spread the word about what's going on.

Unlike previous attacks which relied on users putting files into their game and then the game launching them, these are executables. ModGuard won't help protect you. At least one creator affected does mods for all four sims games, so this isn't a TS4 only issue this time. If you think you've downloaded the file, get rid of it immediately and check your computer for malware.

Until I can get around to clearing them, download at your own risk. Keep in mind that most of my files are .package and I've never shared anything with a script file. Further, I think I only have at most one or two zip folders if that, so if anything directs you to downloading a zip folder from me, be extra vigilant.

I have figured out how to get rid of the flushing from The Captain's Commode and The Naughtical Necessary, but it would add a little pause after sims use them and remove their prompt to auto-handwash. I can also remove the ability to upgrade them, and the ability to take a pregnancy test from them.

Need an updated Medieval toilet option?

It's really not what I should have been working on, but after spotting it once more in my post-patch list of things that were out of date, I decided to update this Medieval Toilet. It's (apparently) originally from Tarox but has lived in my game for years thanks to @motherof70's conversion back in 2015.

Unfortunately, it suffered the same levitating sims issue that my other historical facilities acquired, so it needed a tuning update. I cloned a base game off the grid toilet and created a new custom tuning for it and then endeavored to strip it to match the original characteristics: no flushing, no handwashing, no upgrades, and no pregnancy test. It technically does have geostates, but they're all the same mesh so there's no functional difference.

Although I originally meant to simply edit the tuning, I thought that perhaps I'd make some more sims 4-matching recolors which meant I needed to look at the mesh to get the uv layout and then when I looked at the mesh I realized it was needlessly complicated so I ended up editing the mesh to remove unnecessary vertices. And then I redid the uv entirely because it overlapped in ways that made doing what I wanted difficult. So this has neither the original mesh, nor the original texture, but instead twelve new swatches with a wood top and cobbled stone base. There are also three deco slots on the back.

Base Game Compatible. Comes in 12 swatches.

Guess who's finally learning to bake textures in blender!
