🪴Spring Lounge Framed Pictures | LiS Recolour

This is a recolour of OhBehave's Spring Lounge Framed Paintings using extracted textures from Simsi45's Amber House Pack. Mesh is included! 📌 sfs download: x

Tired of your Sim knocking their head into the counter? Floating kids? Itsy-bitsy thumbnails? And....that they never put it back! NEVER! Just drop it where they stand *sighs*.

C&K @crispsandkerosene did a fabulous job with the two puzzles💕I love them. Basicallly every household in my game has at least one. They just got even more fabulous now ;)

Can be placed on fireplace mantels or any other deco slot and will be picked up, too.

Absent-minded Sims (trait) will still drop it where they stand.

Added an option to pick it up and put it into a sims inventory.

Credits:

@crispsandkerosene for the original idea and mod.

@picknmixsims for his documentation in lesson style on reach/put anims. I shamelessly "borrowed" code from your bug jar.

@pforestsims for the explanation, why every fruitbowl clone has an abysmal tiny thumbnail and how to fix that.

We've all been there. Our sim is out having a lovely time with some friends, perhaps family, or a whole frat worth of loose acquaintances. They are hungry, they want to eat.

And somehow by the end your Sim has to foot the bill for the whole affair. Hardly seems fair, does it? I mean how often do you go around paying for everyone when you eat out? Nah. I am tired of my poor newcomers in town trying to make friends only to end up with a 8 people restaurant bill to cover on their meager salary. Clearly it is not my fault for making food more expensive resulting in 800+ bills (😇) but the lack of manners in sim-restaurants not providing a means to split the cost 😤 No more!

With this mod, the restaurant podium (*) will now give you the option of splitting the bill. Can be used on dates as well as outings, though it only shows up if there are non-household members taking part in the meal. If there are any such, the podium will give you the option to only pay a fair share of the total bill, corresponding to the % your sims make up out of the total. In the example above, only one sim out of 4 was part of the household, so the sim is given the option to pay 25% of the bill. If two sims had been household members, it would have been 50%, and so on. (**)

(*) Will not apply to custom podiums without a tweak, more info under the cut. (**) Only active household pays, the remainder of the bill is negated entirely. If you play a strictly regulated economy, your restaurant will earn less when you use this option. To track exactly what you ate, or force payment from multiple source is both overly complicated and more conflict-prone, and I do not personally think it is worth the effort here. If you run OFB restaurants, just don't use the option in those.

Conflicts: Does not conflict with Lamare's reservable tables 😊 Conflicts with @teaaddictyt's Close The Kitchen mod, I have made a compatible version of the mod + sunni podium edit, that you can grab from here. Load my mod after hers.

Edits: TTABs of the maxis podiums, action strings and pay bill action/guardian interactions in the semi-global, and adds one custom bhav to the semi-global.

Credits: @episims who when I was frustrated about this in my game pointed out it probably wouldn't be too hard to fix, and what do you know it wasn't. Thank you for being my second opinion and pointing out I can do more than I myself think I can :P Love ya buddy 🥰 @grilledcheese-aspiration who was kind enough to do some tests for me, much appreciated! @kashmiresims who kindly agreed to take previews for me since my game is in Swedish and the text would not have made a lot of sense to most of you :3 Her sims are lucky they don't get my kind of bills! 😁

~~This is the natural science part of the song conversion~~

(And the wooden chests.) A set of art ideal for Knowledge Sims, Nature hobbyists, and Scatmasters everywhere. I took a shot at simlishing the botanical prints, but the text was so small I couldn't even really read it so I only did half or so. Now it's a spot the difference game.

Swatches are included and everything's compressed.

Friends, I did almost forget there were wallpapers in this set. Even though they're so cute! At least I remembered the rugs, because you've seen them all over the place. The original set had over a hundred swatches, and on several identical meshes - I just picked my favorites from each collections and put them on Neng65's rug set. Those meshes are included, but if you also want @pforestsims's repo'd wall rug (and you do), you can grab it here.

Swatches are included and everything's compressed.

Don't y'all love those shelves? This set is good, I swear. And @episims added so many slots to them! Amazing. And they repo'd the pinup posters for me. And made the book signs light up! And I just did a bunch of recolors.

So many recolors. Which are all included in swatch form, and everything's compressed.

4t2 Snowy Escape Lights Repo'd

I cloned conversions by @lafeeverte-sims and @tony-veis and gave them new Guids so they wont conflict with the originals. Master meshes are included, previews use some of the recolors I’ve made

Hiking Trail Lantern, Lighting -> Outdoor - Wood parts repo'd to BB's Niche, lantern paper is a custom subset that can be recolored

Komorebi Stone Lantern, Lighting -> Misc - Repo'd to @fracturedmoonlight's Stone Super Set, 1 subset

Lantern in a Paper Cylinder, Lighting -> Table - Repo'd to Jonesi's blanket, 1 subset, can be set on surfaces or the floor without needing cheats

Mountain Town Lantern, Lighting -> Misc - Repo'd to BB's Niche, 1 subset

Stone Lantern, Lighting -> Outdoor - Repo'd to Stone Super Set, 1 subset

Tall Mossy Stone Lantern, Lighting -> Outdoor - Repo'd to Stone Super Set, 1 subset

They've been play tested and still function as lights

SimSlice's Japanese Shower Communal Repo'd to Bon Voyage

This is a working shower, it's perfect for hot springs and tropical beaches. It now pulls textures from the Serenity Squared fountain

Hokadk47's SIP Living Blind - Rod Repo'd to Decra-Chill

Hokadk already repo'd the fabric to the Jonesi blanket but the rod was still custom so I repo'd it to the wood part of the OFB Decra-Chill Guid and filename are the same

A few items from Around the Sims 2's 'The Cat Café' set with edits and recolours!

Wall Hanging CEP Extras

From what I could find, I saw some wall hangings I liked had no cep extras for separate recolorable frames so I made them myself. Ones with multiple frame textures have them available as recolors. A couple of them were already made by hafiseazale but I repo'd the frames to the Lady On Red frame. All except A Sim Noir have been lowered to the ground.

New cep extras:

Almost There By Artis Cool

A Sim Noir Print

Corky Reminder Board

Home Sweet Home From Mckraken Industries

Stick 'Em Up Bulletin Board

Teachers Pet Chalkboard

Tropico Birds In the Wild

Under the Horizon By Sam Stewart

Repo'd to the Lady On Red frame, these had similar frames/textures and were pretty straightforward to remap, I used hafi's ceps as a base for these:

Handle and Spout

ValueSpite Funny Bunny

I updated addons for a couple of paintings to fully work with my cep extras:

Hafi's 1 tile A Sim Noir and Almost There (I re-resized the later myself due to issues with the original mesh)

@littlelittlesimmies ' Separated Tropico Birds paintings

All Files are compressed with included preview and hafi's lady on red cep extra for the 2 repo'd frames to work.

A set of fence lights from one of my favourite defunct Asian sites- now repo'd to the BG ResiStall (plus another edit to make the lights work without textures, so no custom textures included at all now)! Ideal for making light tunnels and archways in gardens and beyond.

RAR includes 9 fence lights + a collection file (pop that in your collections folder). They'll pick up on any recolours you have for the ResiStall walls. Files are compressorized, and shouldn;t require any EPs/SPs.

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.

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.

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. :/

What do I do when I'm back in game? I close it down and mod it! High time I released some of my stash.

Made with all packs in mind. If you don't own Mansions or Apartment Life, these hacks may or may not work well for you.

If these mods conflict with some other mods you have, change load order or toss them. I do not promise to make compatibility patches, but reports are always welcome 🌺

Put In Crib Menu For Carried Kid Adds a 'Put This_Kid in Crib' option when a sim is carrying one and when there are multiple babies or toddlers around. The usual 'Put in Crib...' with a selection of kids' names is also there. See, I had a problem with twins: not being able to tell which is which when I wanted to put in crib the one already in sim's hands. - @differentwolf137 provides his version comaptible with Simler90's BabyToddlerMod (it may probably be used without Simler90's mod as well)

Yet Another Apartment Nanny Controller Fix I've had this Becks fix for a while, but it couldn't keep *all* the errors at bay, possibly because I've been also using 'ask to watch kids' on non-apartment lots. I found two more error causes and fixed them here. Becks fix is not included.

Fixed SimWardrobe's Employee Digging Controller I used to have it error out after some time and had to re-buy and re-assign it almost every sim day. Had enough of that dance and fixed it!

Homework Help: Ask Visitors or Friends & Relatives Normally, a kid can only ask household members to help with homework. But what if they have a smart uncle, can't they ask them when they visit? Choose one version: either all visitors, or only relatives and friends can be asked. - Conflicts with Cyjon's Help Homework Owner, try loading my mod after his, to keep my feature and the owner's name part of his

Homework Help: No Drop From Queue Chasing people around the lot to ask for their help only for them to ignore you and for the interaction to drop out. No more of that! May also fix other interactions that call 'Teach - Init' global. Had already been done by none other than Cyjon

Balloons Live Longer Party balloons will wait for more hours before they start popping. Because I sometimes predecorate for sims' parties, and seeing half the balloons dead before the guests arrive is just. no.

Restockable Photos & Price Fix If you set for sale a print of a photo made by sim's personal camera or a photo from the Artist career reward in an owned business, and if someone bought that photo, you'd now be able to restock it and sell again, and again. Also, selling price of a Uni camera photo is fixed now. Yay, photographers

Less Complaining & Only When Open (Edited Cyjon's Hack) In home businesses, I was annoyed by family guests complaining outside of business hours, acting like customers during parties and social visits, but I didn't want to remove complaining altogether. So I took CJ's mod and added a check for if the shop is open. The result: visitors complain less in general and don't complain at all if the business is closed.

Uni Home Business Allows you to start a home business in university sub-hood. Convenience of doing it after it's started is not guaranteed (but it's fine).

Death Removes Going Steady I've had 2 issues that I didn't know were related: Grim Reaper sometimes errored out in the middle of his business and some sims thought they were still going steady with their dead boyfriends and girlfriends. When I made this lil' mod for the latter issue, I realized that Adults Go Steady mod already tried to do that, but it had a mistake in it, causing Grimmy to reset and not remove the 'go steady' flags from sims' relationships. If you have it, make my DeathRemovesGoingSteady load after it. - Conflicts with Postmortem rel flags by Midge, and Midge's mod also removes that relationship flag, see which one suits you better

Death Memory Given To Best Friends, Lovers & Household I noticed that only relatives and witnesses get a memory of sim's death, and it sucks that sim's best friends and household members may not even acknowledge their death if they didn't happen to be there. Now Grim additionally gives death memories to sims who have these types of relationships to the dead sim: love (red heart), best friend, going steady, engaged, married, enemy (optional), same family/household, relative -- but only if they have met. Color* and strength of the memory varies, i.e. relative who hated them will get a green* 'oh well' memory. * Green memories for low rel are only available with No Corrupted Death installed - Choose one version: either BestFriendsLoversHousehold, or BestFriendsLoversHouseholdEnemies. The latter requires nocorruptdeath to get green memories, included in the zip

No Memory Distribution To Unmet Relatives Your sim will not get the memory of their distant nephew getting a A+ if they've never met. I didn't like when toddlers' early memories got clogged up by an array of 'grew up well' etc. about relatives they haven't seen yet. But I didn't want to suppress these types of memories completely, so I filtered them by having met the person in question. My solution is not perfect: sometimes sims that have met are not important to each other story wise, but it's tricky to assess significance (0/0 relationships do not always mean sims are strangers). - Pescado's No Telepathy looks like an extended version of this, choose one

Teddy Talk For Kids, Or Playful & Toy Interested Who doesn't love it when grown sims pester other grown sims with teddy bear talk? Me, but I didn't want to ban it outright, so I made the autonomy consider sim's playfulness and interest in toys. Restrictions are looser for adult-to-child interactions.

Toy Robot Is For Playful & Interested In Toys Sorry for the long names, trying to make them descriptive! Tweaked toy robot's autonomy to not attract teens and older sims unless they are playful and very interested in toys, or somewhat interested in toys and very interested in sci-fi at the same time.

Toy Robot Breaks Less Made toy robots break less often.

Servo Robots Less Run Amok They just did it too often. As soon as their mood got a bit below the equator it was all hell. Now it's far harder for them to break.

Apology More Effective Bigger relationship bump after apologizing. - Conflicts with CJ's Soothing Apology that edits the same BCON, but only affects furiousness, choose one. - CJ-ApologyFuryFix can be used with this mod (and recommended)

Teens Can Work At Cafeteria Stove Enabled 'Work In Cafeteria' interaction on that Uni cooktop for teen sims, in case you're using it not only in dorms like I do.

Owned Car Gives More Energy Trying to motivate myself to use cars more often, I thought I'd choose to drive over 'walk to lot' action if it gave my sim some energy boost, since it's the motive that usually suffers badly when sims go out. So that's what I added: more energy for driving somewhere in a car.

Hobby: Talk, Read, Browse Unlocked To Predestined + Browsing Allowed On Community Lots Normally, talking about hobby, reading a hobby section in a newspaper and browsing about hobby on a computer aren't available until a certain point of enthusiasm has been reached. I allowed these actions for sims in their predestined hobbies regardless of enthusiasm level. Also, made it possible to browse on community lots. - If you use Simler90's Electronics Mod, get differentwolf's patch and make it load after both mods

Game Competition More Attractive Computer game competitions (or LAN parties) made a bit more attractive for sims to start autonomously.

VitaSims' Betty Boop Teen Room Sofa Repo'd to Jonesi's Blanket

Looks like a big pillow propped against the wall but it's a proper sofa height, Sims' legs wont sink into the floor when they sit on it. Guids and filename are the same

These are the Maxis neighborhood decorative alleys on Criquette’s tiles. Can be found in Decorations > Landmarks as standalone objects (NOT default replacements or recolors of the original objects). CAN be placed on lots and over roads (though not on water). Probably require Nightlife, being cloned from objects that came with it.

swatch (also included in the .zip)

There are 7 pieces: 3 Maxis ‘outdoor cafes’ (formerly with red tiles), 3 back alleys with dumpsters and boxes (formerly with gray tiles) plus one blank. I didn’t do the concrete ones, with trash and a wall and and a broken car, because it didn’t make sense to me to have nice tiles on those.

Known issues These alleys were made to match Criquette’s neighborhood deco but tiles are a little smaller on my recolors, plus Criquette’s walkways hover a little bit above the ground (you can see it in the last picture if you look at the bottoms of the trees and at the monument in the distance). From ground level and up close from certain angles there will be gaps or clipping between Criquette’s walkways and my alleys but overall they play rather nicely together.

Credits Criquette for the texture from his Simple Walkways set; SaraMK at MATY for the tutorial on hood deco placement; all y'all on simblr for the love!
