Buildmode Content Update for Post-Patch 1.66

Windows, doors, and arches have been updated to work with the new cutout system allowing more freedom with window placement. You will need to redownload the sets. I advise deleting the original files, then putting the new files in as i have organised the download folders with a new sub folder. 

I haven’t actually played in Evergreen Harbor or with the N.A.P system yet but I started looking for mods as soon as I heard about all the crazy that’s been going on so I’m linking them below for anyone who may need it:

Neighborhood Action Plan Autonomy Fixes (fixes the autonomy behavior regarding the N.A.P system)

Eco Lifestyle Interactions Fixes (takes care of that damn clay and future cube problem along with some other things)

Community Annoyances Fixes (fixes problems with the Recycle Disciple trait, makes sure voters are actual residents and a few other things that I’m sure got annoying like asap.

No roughhousing encouraged (stops sims from fighting when this N.A.P is passed)

No sharing is caring/No swiping (stops sims from stealing)

We don’t wear bags (stops sims from wearing bags)

BLACK LIVES MATTER NYC RALLY

When i saw on my TV what happened to George Floyd i felt a stabbing sensation on my stomach and i started crying seeing a human being suffer to death cuz of hes skin color made me angry and sad and like hes daughter said George Floyd changed the world we as a society as human beings we need to stop racism and injustice nobody deserves to be treated like that nobody i went to New York City to protest twice regarding on this situation shared as much as i could on my simstagram of how to sign petitions, donate if you can and spread as much word of how we can educate and learn ourselves about racism but we need to also have conversations with friends and family members i grew up in a mixed latinx family we are all mixed and the first thing my parents taught me was treat everyone with the same respect and love em if you don't understand something educate yourself and learn of how to help and how you can contribute and that's the key learning and listening listen to stories and experiences we as a community we should support such important issue datz beyond anything racist shit needs to stop people of color deserve to BREATH and JUSTICE and be safe in their own homes they have rights like any human being on the planet is time to for a CHANGE CHANGE NEEDS TO HAPPEN we should come together and show to the world it doesn't matter our skin color or ethnicity or where we live we should support each other and be for each other as a community

As allies it’s essential for us to educate ourselves and support in every way we can. If you are unable to make it to a protest (and even if you have and want to further provide support) and have the means to do so, please consider supporting these Canadian black-led organizations/funds instead:

Resources for non-Black folks to support Black communities in Canada

COVID-19 Black Emergency Support Fund

Justice for Regis Korchinski-Paquet

Black Lives Matter Toronto

Toronto Protester Bail Fund

Black Lives Matter Vancouver

Black in BC Community Support Fund for COVID-19

this happened exactly a week before George Floyd’s murder. João Pedro was black too.

it doesn’t matter where you from. all cops are bastards. all of them. brazillian ones. us cops. even the ones from your country. all of them serve the same racist purposes. 

João Pedro should be remembered. his life and Floyd’s matter so much.

there’s a petition going on right now demanding justice for João Pedro. PLEASE, sign it and share/reblog if you can.

vidas negras importam.

if you’re white and are protesting, please, please listen to this. if you’re white and have white friends protesting, let them know

WHAAAAAAT ? ANOTHER k505 UPDATE ?

Hello Fellow Simmers :)

Let’s begin the weekend with some news ;) No update … yet :D Only some news and some new stuff :)

But, yes, there are some updates in the pipes. Maybe you don’t know but I got the Covid-19 on March 19th, 5 weeks ago. And I was madly sick. I was unable to work, mod, and even think. But I’m very lucky. I could breathe. With some difficulties, especially at night but without any need such as respirator. And I was at home. A cosy one. And I got help. My girl friend stayed with me and didn’t get the Corona at all. I stayed @ hospital only one day and could heal at home until now.

I got too a true spirit help from @grieralexander and @szanne7000 who worried for me. I owe them a forever thanks !

But since I feel better, I can’t stop to work and think about modding ! :D Happily, half of what we produced for 2 weeks were already made before the Covid-19 pandemic. Since, we re-digged the files of the Sims 4. A lot. I re-discovered things and stuff inside the belly of the beast and now we already made all the K505, it is time to go a bit further … We think stone and concrete, we think trees, we think walls … Trees & walls are a huge piece of cake. It will be a long road indeed :D

We have 2 testing Worlds : Windenburg and Selvadorada. We play a lot with their files. We don’t forget San Myshuno ( we never released before ) and all the ones which need an update. It’s coming. A bit slowly but it’s coming.

THIS WEEK, we’ll add the roofs to the K606. Less cartoony, less plastic, more in harmony with the terrains :) Pictures and download link later in the evening. Do not miss it ! :D

New walls are coming too. in few hours … and before the end of the week end : New plants ( remember : we do not make only build stuff ! :D )

When i said we can’t stop modding ……………….

Stay safe !
