✨ Simsefin Cartoon — A Sims 4 Cartoon Shader optimized to play with!

Hello Tumblr friends! I’m soo happy I've managed to create a unique Cartoon Shader for the game! 🤓🎨 It’s a shader file I’ve worked really hard on (code and design) to get that marker-pen + 2D animated movie feel, and it’s optimized for gameplay (i.e. not only for taking in-game photos), wooho! 🙌 I've also added a super simple "Beginner's guide" on how to install shaders for the sims, so anyone will be able to use this! 💚 ----------------------------------------------------------

+ Improve UI panels texts (if needed) with my tweaks:

I’ve tried to keep the UI panels readable while still keeping the sketch effect. However, on some screen resolutions the outlines can make the text look a bit pixelated. If that happens, go to: Sims 4 Settings → Gameplay → Accessibility and slightly adjust the UI size up or down. Even a small change can make the text look much cleaner! 🙌💚 - You can also tweak the “Sketch Effect” slider inside this shader in the ReShade / GShade overlay for this shader to make the outlines thinner.

----------------------------------------------------------

Other stuff:

- Custom world maps (in the pictures) are made by talanted creator FilipeSims (I use my shader on top of them). Download here! - All pictures are from my public save file "Threads of Life v.2.0".

Updated: Simsefin Super Save v. 4 (+Bridgeview neighborhood)

Ciao Simblr friends! ❤️🩷💛💚💙💜 I'm happy to share my latest no-cc Super Save file with you — it's a work in progress where I'm rebuilding every lot in the game with architecture chosen specifically for different neighborhoods in their worlds and with focus on improving rotational gameplay.

Zero townies & empty lots! For all of the the unfinished lots around the world, you'll find empty spaces that you can fill with your own builds, download fun content from the Gallery, or wait for my upcoming lot remakes on the EA Gallery. This world also has ZERO pre-existing townies, making it perfect for creating your dream Sim world from scratch.

V. 4 - What's in this update? This time I've finished the Bridgeview neighborhood in Newcrest, featuring dedicated lots for Business and Hobbies gameplay alongside vibrant City Living elements - you'll find everything from bustling food stands to creative mural painting spots on rental lots.

I've also bulldozed all pre-made lots in the newest world Nordhaven.

New Mod - Collector's Milestones Mod

Ciao! 🩷🌈👋 I'm thrilled to announce I've uploaded a new mod called "Collector's Milestones" mod (patreon link) which adds Milestones for all Collections currently in the game. This idea came from my recent gameplay sessions where I tried to complete all of the Collections (yes, it takes some time... 🙈). I felt soo disappointed that the game doesn't reward players with Milestones for collecting stuff, so I had no other option than creating them for myself (and for you, my fellow simmers).

Brunch With Friends event - now v. 1.1.2

Hi tumblrs! I had to update my mod twice today. Just wanted to let you know! 💖

Brunch With Friends event - Updated again (now - v. 1.1.1)

Hi! I just tested my mod with the new mini patch EA made (8/8-2024), and I've noticed some smaller tunings errors (that I've accidentally introduced in my latest update oops). Nothing game breaking of course! But please update this mod again so it will work properly with the new patch. Both files must be updated! 💖

Hi! 👋💖 I wrote on Patreon about where I will post my builds from now on (I will occasionally keep posting them on Tumblr to) and where I am at with new mods.

Hi 💖 I’m finally done with the Crawdad Quarter neighborhood in Willow Creek now. Here is the first one (remake of Willow Creek Archive). I didn't want a library in Willow Creek, so I created a cozy bar / bistro with cinema theme instead. I've also created a gym, night club, rental house & a remake of Magnolia Blossom Park.

No CC! (but a lot of sims packs are used for this one.)

Gallery Id: Simsefin

First floor - Bar no.1, a small performance stage, and outdoor hangout space.

Upstairs - Bar no. 2

Hi again! 🩷 Today I've updated my Brunch With Friends event to version 1.1.0

Turns out the mod wasn’t broken, but I had to fix a few other things.

You can download and read about the new version here (patreon). Simfileshare is not available anymore as an download option.

New NoCC Build - Ophelia Villa ☕💕💒

I've finished another lot in my vanilla save! Ophelia Villa - A historical and romantic build in Willow Creek. A perfect place to go to for coffee dates (Cupid's Corner dates?) and beautiful weddings. You can find this build in the Sims Gallery. No CC! (but a lot of sims packs are used for this one.)

My Vanilla (no mods) Gameplay save

Hi again! 🌸 If you're like me and you use to remove all of your mods when new patches are out (until they are safe to use again) - I recommend downloading my new cc-free lots for Willow Creek on the sims Gallery. I've made a new empty vanilla save for these occasions when I like to play the game without mods. Every lot has the same name as the ones in the Willow Creek world, so they are easy to search for and just replace the lots. I've made two neighborhoods so far. Sims Gallery Id: Simsefin

🏡Foundry Cove 4 residental lots & 2 rental houses

🏡 Courtyard Lane 5 residental homes

Ciao! I'm working on a new mod inspired by a popular sims 4 challenge. My goal is to release it in the end of this month. Stay tuned! 🌈🩷
