ENCHANTED BY NATURE - K-HIPPIE VERSION - VERY SOON

Now that we ( at last ) finished our global x11 update, time was coming to get a closer look, especially on the oldest files ...

There's a joke to be made with updating after EAxis mess. Maybe something like ... Si(m)siphus ... Really, once we start working on an update, it seems like *everything* needs an update and we'll never get to the bottom of it. Or ... worst ( or better ) we get an insight on something we couldn't figure out and now we just want to test a theory or two, just in case it'll crack the code ... aaand we'll be good to make an overhaul of something else. Anyway ! Here we are :)

BRINDLETON BAY We are half pleased with the results here but those files needed to be updated ... Indeed ! The Cats & Dogs town is back into the fold with updated texture. We even removed the red pavement for more consistency. We aren't quite happy with the final result of this town and we'll probably come back later for finishing touch here & there but it'll do for the moment.

Please enjoy the return of Brindleton Bay among the family of the k-mods files :D

SELVADORADA ( JUNGLE ADVENTURES ) It was long overdue indeed but working on Selvadorada is like working on San Myshuno, it is clearly not EAxis best hours ...

Anyway, we completely reworked both nature and urban files, finished the ruins, added the files we hadn't done ...

STRANGERVILLE

We always have a soft spot for Strangerville, surely because it reminds us the Sims 2 Strangetown which was was so fun and irreverent !

You already have the k-505 nature we updated not long ago. Now, we remade the k-505 urban and put work into finishing touches, making sure we've covered everything that needed to be k-hippied :D

K-505 : BASEGAME NATURE FILES UPDATE Which should actually be : What-A-Surprise-We-At-Last-Found-Files Somehow, we tackled the San Myshuno Pit Of Darkness Problem. Yes, you read that right, with one single file, two little adjustment and a lot of hair pulling ( "What do you mean EA stretch that file like peanut butter on a toast ?" ) Okay, with less sardonic comment, the k-505 base game mod actually got a new update that's even better. You know those rocks with grass on them ? Yeah, we cleared that. It's now better looking. No more funky hairy rock. And of course, as you may know if you read the previous post, we finally found the files guilty of the black/question mark deep down in San Myshuno ! So, do not hesitate to update all your files ;)

K-101 : MAJOR UPDATE Technical lingo : we updated the specular files because it was bugging us to no end. Old wooden floor, cool. Old wooden floors that shined so much it looked new ? Not under our watch, no sir ! In addition, it solves a glossy problem for Mac users with an intel based computer. Damned ! we are so good ... :D All floors have seen their specular double-checked and done ... and by the way, all Jungle Adventures floors were added, all of them. Of course, if you notice something we may forgot, just tell us :)

Voila, that's all for this week :) Hope it will be ok for you and your fun ! Next in queue, Britechester and Del Sol Valley …

WHAT'S COMING FOR THE K-MODS ? MAJOR OTHER UPDATES

So, most of the k-mods have been directX11 updated. Most but not all of them ;)

In addition, some k-mods which have been released few years ago need a fresh makeover. Again. We are currently working on many files at the same time, in order to make all these updates as fast as possible ...

At last, we finally found the 2 files ( in the base game ) guilty for the black/question mark into the downside of San Myshuno as you may see in the picture below ...

Those 2 files are used both in base game & San Myshuno. The stretch is not caused by the k-505 :D

The files which will be released next Saturday will be :

Brindleton Bay

Strangerville

Selvadorada

And surely some others little things ;) ( all related to : k-101, k-303, and k-505 )

Next in queue, Britechester and Del Sol Valley ... But we'll talk about later. So, see you on Saturday :) for the links to download and other minor/major updates !

HALLOWEEN AT FORGOTTEN HOLLOW 2023

Each Halloween on Simblrs bring its fantastic batch of objects and food and caldrons and magic stuff :)

This year, we tried to add our 2 cents with something a bit different ... a melting pot of ambiant stuff and objects and everything is Forgotten Hollow related ;) So, let's prepare everything for the party ! beginning with the tombs & graveyards replacement ...

As we were updated our Breezy Lanterns, we had the idea to redo the Maxis Halloween Lanterns by suppressing the poles and put them on one slot only for more placement possibilities ... Here are the results ;)

And here comes a series of Dark Potterverse Artworks made by Dylan Pierpont you may find here

We made some Pumpkins for the occasion. And few other stuff ... Hope you'll like them :)

We updated the Forgotten Hollow K-505 and Forgotten Hollow K-707 Mods

In addition we made the K-101 for Spooky Stuff ( both carpet and wood floors )

All the download links and descriptions are available ( freely of course ) on tech-hippie website and this post is now updated.

EDIT : Here the links ...

K-101 - K-303 - K-505 - NEWS - TECH & CO

So it has begun ... the K-303 is on its own road and the first objects ready to be downloaded :) Our databases seem fully repaired and we can now focus on our projects ;)

But let's talk at first about the silent update of the K-101 ...

@yuroge ( thanks for the feedback ! ) noticed that after a recent patch of the Sims 4, when uploading something to the Gallery, it was claimed as cc content, even when it was cc-free, only because of the K-101 use.

We found the solution. So, better to share it :) We stripped all the translations, info files and so on from the K-101 and we kept only the DST images. This way, whatever you use, it doesn't affect your exports to the Gallery.

Now, all you have to do is to re-download the K-101 :D

DOWNLOAD HERE

As you may noticed, we added on our website a kinda sims 4 expansions fundraiser for all people who really wish the K-505 for expansions AFTER Cottage Living ... The Wedding Story is already funded at 80 % :) So, I have only one word. As soon as an expansion is funded, I work on it, before my own projects and deliver it to all. Thanks to all the volunteers. I love you for this !

And now, as we receive messages about, let's make a bit of information for Simmers who have difficulties to download ... I made some pictures to show you that every K-Mod is fully downloadable :D

on PC :

As you see, no problem at all. At first, my firewall is stated on the medium and I do not have Anti Virus except the Microsoft ones.

My browser on PC is Firefox. Then I use 7z.exe to extract : it is free, easy to use and very very safe. I extract all my files inside the download folder then I add them manually into my Mods folder.

on Mac, it is even much more easy :

Downloaded with Safari, double-click the 7z files, extracted, done.

I'm not a PC guy but I'm pretty sure you may find some help and information among other Simmers.

Crinrict is an excellent website for many things Sims 4 related :) Courage to you ! I'm pretty sure you may do it ;)
