So I’ve been doing a deep dive on my mods folder and recently learned about Simsweep. I just wanted to share because I, like most in the community, have been using Mod Manager for a long time, but recently felt like my mods folder was so bloated. But I couldn’t, for the life of me, figure out where the bloat was coming from. I did a scan with Simsweep, just to test it out, and the amount of duplicates I still had in my game that MM, for whatever reason, didn’t catch was insane. It’s deff been a game changer for me. The program is mostly free but there are some paid features (not too necessary).

TinyTots : Preschool App V1 | Mini Mod

Introduction :

This mini mod was inspired by my nephew, he attends preschool, and they use an app that sends parents updates on what their kids have been doing throughout the day. I thought, what if I made something like that for the Sims? This mini mod introduces an app called “TinyTots” where parents can check in on how their toddler is doing throughout the day. Parents also receive a weekend report every Friday. This mini mod also includes a simple preschool system.

Here’s a tutorial for using cinematicdof for @simsbyki! Feel free to ask questions if anything is unclear.

Okay so starting off assuming you have reshade and the qUINT effects pack installed!

1. Once you’re in-game and about to screenshot, open your configuration overlay. If you don’t know which button opens it up, reshade will let you know at the beginning of booting up your game when reshade is loading in. For me, it’s numpad 9 (I changed it), although I think (?) it’s the home (Hm) button by default.

2. At the bottom of your configuration overlay, there are the settings you can change. If you've just recently toggled cinematicdof, reshade will show you that effect’s settings first (performance mode must be turned off to access this box btw)

3. Now you can use cinematidof in two ways. The first way is that you can turn off mouse-driven auto-focus and let the effect focus on things by itself, like the ADOF effect does, though sometimes (like ADOF) it can be inaccurate.

4. The second way is to keep mouse-driven auto-focus on which gives you more control on what you wanted focused in your screenshot. Set your screenshot, toggle the configuration overlay on to move your mouse exactly where you want a scene to focus, toggle the config overlay off again, take your screenshot, and rinse and repeat. Example below!

The kind of woman who finds joy in quiet mornings and meaning in small moments. She’s a nurturer at heart — the type to kneel down mid-day just to wrap her arms around her dog, her face lit with the kind of smile that lingers. A deep love for animals has always been a part of who she is, not just in her work, but in the way she lives and loves.

Her mornings are slow and intentional — robe on, breakfast cooking, one hand resting on her belly as she hums softly to herself. She finds comfort in her routines and calm in the little pockets of the day that are just hers.

A devoted wife, loving mother, and skilled veterinarian, Sophia has spent years building both a home and a dream — nurturing her family while growing a clinic rooted in compassion. Her twins, Bloom and Brandon, have been with her through it all — from late-night study sessions in college to the long days of opening her clinic from the ground up. Having them while still in high school shaped the woman she became — resilient, grounded, and fiercely loving.

These days, she’s traded long hours for slower mornings at home as she nears her third trimester, but she still stops by the clinic — usually with Bryce by her side — just to keep a loving eye on the place she built from the ground up. He toddles along beside her, soaking in the same gentle rhythm and steady care that once shaped his older siblings. She paints to recharge, cooks to connect, and shares quiet moments with Isaac that feel like home. From bedtime stories to belly rubs and late-night whispers, Sophia is the thread that ties it all together — not because she tries to be, but simply because she is.

Isaac Hargrove is the kind of man who doesn’t just show up — he shows up with intention. A computer engineer by trade and a family man by nature, his world spins around the people he loves. Whether he’s quizzing Bryce on flashcards before breakfast or getting in reps with Brandon after work, Isaac always finds time to pour into his kids.

He’s neat, ambitious, and has a soft spot for sci-fi. But more than anything, he’s Sophia’s steady. From teenage years to building a life together — he’s been her constant. Her quiet encouragement. Her “we’ll figure it out.”

He keeps things running behind the scenes and never asks for the spotlight, but make no mistake: Isaac is the reason so much of this family feels grounded.
