I’m really happy to let everyone know about Sims 4 Studio Forum’s latest collaboration set. This set features many new meshes including a bed frame, night table, bedding, blanket, swag, mirror, plants, and Tiffany lamps, plus walls and floors. All items come in many coordinating colors with textures designed to suit the style of Sims 4. The set was made by Mathcope, SrslySims, Bakie, and OM. See more pictures and download it HERE.

Also, the site’s Creator Studio downloads section has just gotten even better with the introduction of creator tag clouds. Now, when you’re browsing your favorite creator’s page you can click a handy tag right under their banner to find all the items of that type that they’ve posted:

The feature is brand new, so not all creators have had time to add a tag cloud yet, but it makes it so easy to browse and download just what you’re looking for. I hope you’ll stop in and give the new feature a whirl. 

Hey there!  Thanks for the kind words! :) I know a lot of people are curious about the same thing, so I’m going to answer this publicly- hope you don’t mind! :) I didn’t follow that tutorial at all, except for the part about creating the script file (that was mostly correct, but I had to do some things on my own to make it work).  I’ve actually thought about what could’ve been wrong with her tutorial.  The main thing that differed in my process is that I didn’t use the Mod Constructor program she does; instead, I just used Sims 4 Studio.  Mod Constructor may or may not be outdated, so that could be why the mod was broken.

If you already know about XML files or doing other mods, a custom career isn’t too hard to do- just very time consuming, and can become complicated depending on what all you add to it (the fashion career became VERY COMPLICATED- never doing anything like that again, LOL).  

Here is a very brief mini-tutorial on how to get started (please note that I’m writing this assuming you already know how to use Sims4Studio, and how to create XML files and make your own instance IDs, etc):

The first step is to open up Sims4Studio.   Go to Tools>Create Empty Package and name the package file.  Once that opens up, go to Tools > Extract Tuning. When you’re in that box, you need to type in the name of the career you want to clone.  The business career is the one I used and is a good one to start with because it has chance cards and everything attached.  So type in “career_adult_business” and select “Add to Current Package.”  Leave the Extract Tuning box open- you’ll need it again.

After that, you’ll need to go through and edit all the instances which link to the business career and make them for your own career.  You do this by copying the instance number or name, and then extracting the file to your package.  For example, the first thing you’ll see in the business career is “CareerSuperInteraction: si_Career_Business.”  So copy that, paste it into the Extract Tuning box, and then add that file to your .package.  

Then go through and change all the things in there and so on.  Replace the Strings (the text shown in game) with your own text (which you do by creating a String table in S4S and then use the hash generator to create a unique hexadecimal FNV32 hash to link your text with).  You can edit XML files directly using Sims4Studio, but the easiest way editing them is to use a program like Notepad ++, copy the XML file there, edit it from there, then paste them back into S4S when you’re done.

Make sure you create your own instance ID for all the files, again using the Hash Generator (for custom careers, make sure you use FNV32 Decimal, HIGH BIT) and replace the EA ones with your own.  

If there’s data files associated with the XML file, they’ll automatically be extracted as well- make sure all the data inside matches with your XML file (usually it’ll be stuff like the instance ID for aspirations, or the hash name for strings) and that the data file has the same instance ID as your XML file.

You’ll have to know how to do Python scripts for custom careers (at the very least so that your Sims can take paid time off work).  There’s tutorials for Python over at ModTheSims in their modding forum.

NOTE: This mirror file has been updated to work after the toddler game expansion. The links are edited below.

Just a silly little gift that popped into my head the other day. This is a cat-eye glasses mirror that should be base-game compatible. It can be moved up and down on walls. I tested it above sinks and it worked. I hope you have fun with it!
