TS1 Modder Spotlight: DamonDamore (whiteleadpipecollection)
Prolific modder DamonDamore (aka whiteleadpipecollection on their website) has so many cool hacks and cc, inspired a lot by TS2 and Animal Crossing. They are a really nice person too!
I just recently made a grocery store with their TS2 to TS1 produce display.
It's so cool, you can click to change the type of produce it displays rather than having to deal with like 8 different options clogging up your UI.
Also in my grocery store, bakery displays!! Same modder, same Sims 2 inspo.
In the same plaza that I built the grocery store, I also made a Japanese steakhouse/sushi bar using their Asian fast casual eatery hack. You plop down the stall in your locations (sans Vacation area, unfortunately I tested it and it does not appear there) and a chef will continually put out cute and realistic Japanese dishes on the countertops for your simmies to pick up and eat. They are charged when they pick up the dish and eat it!
This creator also has a "witchy" and regular "normal" (well, for Simmies in the western world) cuisine. I haven't tried them yet but if they work anything like the Asian one, I'm sure they are delightful.
Now, onto more interesting and even more exciting hacks by Damon....
Have you ever been really fckin frustrated that your Sims wash their stupid dishes in the bathroom even if they're 2 steps away from their kitchen sink? Do you wish Sims 1 had a "no washing your dishes where you angry-poop" mod the way Sims 4 does? Well, finally it does!. Stick the painting in your kitchen, and it even has an Invisible mode so you don't have to worry about it matching your decor.
What's that? You're also tired of your dumbass Sims taking their breakfast and dining out on the back patio in their pajamas? Interestingly enough, there is also a similar painting for forcing Sims to dine in their dining rooms/kitchens like normal non-defective people. Imagine that!
Yet another painting of extreme usefulness: the "Get a Job" painting that allows you to choose exactly which Maxis career you want your sim to get, making it less of a gamble and better for storybuilding. Now, I love the fun of seeing what career the newspaper will pick for my sims, but sometimes enough is enough. This solves that entirely. Just pick a job and delete the painting when you're done.
Last, but certainly not least: the ACNF "sweets" set. I don't even feel like I need to write much, just look at how CUTE these are!
All of the links I've posted basically lead back to DamonDamore's entire website, and there is a ton more available that I haven't even scratched the surface of. Dishwashers that act as rugs so you can plug them into any counter, "buyable" chocolates and flowers, even usable wedding arches. They are such a cool creator! I will mention here that it's harder to download their creations en masse (they added a slowdown feature to prevent the site going down when tons of ppl download stuff at once) but it's still easy to work around. I hope everyone who still plays TS1 can enjoy their creations the same way I do!
