Noteworthy Notebook: The Complete Rebuild

After weeks of restructuring, rewriting, redesigning, and reimagining, The Noteworthy Notebook Mod has been completely rebuilt 100% from scratch. Every feature has been rewritten for stability, immersion, and realism, and I'm really happy with it!

Here’s what’s new, improved, and freshly added:

📘 A More Realistic Writing Experience

Manuscripts are now physical items in your Sim’s inventory—bound pages, handwritten and tangible, just as a notebook should be.

Notebook Originals now behave like proper manuscripts, letting you publish them through the mailbox or Simazon (with my Write Books Overhaul mod).

The Kindling Collective has joined the indie publishing world, perfect for shorter works and notebook-based stories.

🖋️ Mini-Genres for Notebook Originals

Notebook Originals now have their own dedicated mini-genres that are actual books, not just icons—quicker to write than full novels and tailored to a variety of styles:

Conspiracy Fiction • Contemporary Romance • Cozy Mystery • Creepypasta • Crime Noir • Dark Fantasy • Dystopian • Fables • Fanfiction • Gothic Fiction • Historical Romance • Lyrics • Military Fiction • Paranormal Romance • Personal Memoir • Philosophical Essay • Romantic Comedy • Satirical Fiction • Sonnet • Steampunk • Urban Fantasy • Young Adult

A perfect option for Sims who want to write creatively without committing to a full novel!

📚 New Main Genres

Your Sims can now write in these fully fleshed-out main genres, regardless of DLC:

Thriller • Adventure • Historical Fiction • Crime • Supernatural • Tragedy • Self-Help • Short Stories • Fantasy • Sci-Fi • Mystery • Drama • Comedy • Children's • Poetry • Screenplay • Nonfiction • Horror • Biography • Romance

Each feels distinct, polished, and better integrated into gameplay.

📖 Skill Manuals, Reimagined

Every skill book from every pack you own now appears as an actual manual with a more immersive name, such as:

An Apothecary’s Handbook

Archaeology Field Manual

Guide to Improvisational Comedy

Health & Wellness Guide

…and many more.

Only manuals for packs you own will appear. Everything is 100% Base Game Compatible.

🏆 Writing Competition—Fully Recreated

The Prose & Plumbob Society's competition has been rebuilt with clear, visible goals, making the competition feel more structured, rewarding, and exciting.

💌 Cards, Letters, Pen Pals & Postcards

Design custom cards to gift or send. You can choose from different designs, display them, write in them, or even sell them in a shop or on Plopsy if you have Nifty Knitting.

Handwrite letters to Pen Pals and receive collectible postcards in return—a more personal way for Sims to connect.

✍️ Handwritten Hustlez—Rebuilt

This gig system has been recreated from scratch with better objectives, improved writing tasks, and all-new gigs to keep the hustle fresh.

📝 Journaling—Expansive & Immersive

The journaling feature has been completely redesigned, including:

Brand-new unlockable entries

Optional goal-setting with actual visible milestones

More mood, location, and experience-based writing prompts

A deeper sense of progression for dedicated journalers

✨ In short…

This is more than an update; it’s a full transformation. The Notebook Mod is now vastly more immersive, with dozens of new ways for Sims to write, create, express, and connect.

If you love storytelling gameplay, slice-of-life realism, or watching your Sims grow through their writing, this rebuild was made for you.

I also completely recreated the notebook itself, so there's a cover for every Sim. And no NPCs swiping it all the time... There are too many features to list here, so head to Hobbies & Activities in the Build Buy catalog or just search 'Notebook' to get started.

Hey everyone! I’m so excited to finally share my new Pharmacist Career with you! If you remember my old one, it was a conversion from a TS3 career by MissyHissy; this is a complete recreation and nothing like the original! It started off as just another rebuild for my classic careers collection, but I got a little carried away and added a BUNCH of extra stuff.

This is a full 10-level career, completely base game compatible, and packed with custom features to make it feel like a true Sims 4 experience rather than just a simple rabbit hole job.

✨ What’s Included:

🧑‍⚕️ 10 Fully Designed Levels:Work your way up from Pharmacy Assistant to Director of Pharmaceutical Services.

👔 Custom Uniforms: Tailored outfits (all base game compatible) that fit each stage of the journey.

📋 Daily Tasks & Objectives: Keep your Sim busy with realistic tasks that reflect the profession and custom certifications to earn along the way.

🎭 Career Tones & Chance Cards: Unique events and work tones to make every workday a little unpredictable.

🎁 Rewards & Buffs: Earn new perks and moods as you climb the ladder.

💬 Custom Interactions: Including pharmacist-specific socials and workplace activities. I added a LOT!

Whether your Sim wants to dip their toes into research, dish out advice, or rise all the way to the top of clinical pharmacy, this career gives them the path to do it. I really hope you like it! ~midnitetech 💚

🎁 Cozy Winter Moments: A Free Seasonal Mini-Mod ❄️✨

Hi everyone! I’m so excited to finally share something festive I’ve been quietly working on behind the scenes: Cozy Winter Moments, a brand-new mini-mod designed to bring seasonal vibes, small adventures, and warm memories to your Sims’ winter days. And best of all… it’s completely free for everyone.

Whether you celebrate Winterfest or just enjoy a frosty aesthetic, this mod gives your Sims new ways to step out, unwind, and return home with a story (or a souvenir!) to tell.

❄️ What’s Included

✨ Eight themed winter rabbithole outings

Each one comes with its own atmosphere, charm, and potential for snacks, custom gifts, and unexpected warm fuzzies:

❄️ Walk the Winter Lights Trail

🍵 Visit the Cozy Kettle Café

✨ Explore Lantern Lane Winter Market

🎄 Go Tree Shopping

🎁 Shop for Winterfest Gifts

🍿 Catch a Festive Flix Feature

🛷 Join the Neighborhood Snow Day

🎵 Go Candlelit Caroling

Your Sims can go solo, or bring the whole household. Every outing has custom buffs, notifications, and the chance to come home with crafts, treats, décor, or little memories.

🎄 Custom Buffs & Objects

Each outing comes with moodlets to capture the moment, all with a cozy vibe, sometimes a bit sentimental (it is winter, after all). Many events include:

Unique handcrafted items

Seasonal foods and drinks

Festive décor pieces

Buffs & notifications

Fun & social gain

Make new friends

💬 Ready to Head Off on a Trip?

You can launch outings directly from your Sim’s phone, under Travel, or Computer, under Household.

🎁 A Thank-You Gift

This mod is a little thank you for all your support this year, whether you’re a long-time patron, a casual downloader, or someone who just loves adding more storytelling into their game. The Sims community has always been so kind to me, and your feedback keeps me inspired.

Cozy Winter Moments will be available free for everyone, and will stay that way permanently.

Thank you again for being part of this community. I hope Cozy Winter Moments brings your Sims exactly what the season’s meant for: good memories, fun, and a little warmth in the cold.

Stay cozy, and Happy Winterfest! ~ midnitetech 💚

🛠️ Sims 4 Patch Update: Career Tone Tweaks

Hi everyone! Hope your New Year is going well so far? The latest Sims 4 patch has just dropped (the Coach update), and EA made some backend changes to how Away Actions at work and school function. These changes affected CareerTones, which meant Sims could stop gaining Needs properly while away.

Good news: for my mods, this was a very minor update.

✅ I’ve updated the CareerTones for a small number of careers where this applied. ✅ Any careers not listed do not require an update—they were unaffected by this patch.

I've updated the original posts and the All-in-One and added the files to a zip on my Patreon if you want to grab them (free), or you can download them individually as follows:

Holistic Health Care Consultant Career

Librarian Career

Pharmacist Career

Retail Career Pack

Sequential Art Career

As always, thank you for your support, and happy Simming!
