Partihaus household makeover.

Some of you have been wondering how to make premade household replacements (as the ones shared here or here). So I have written down below what is known to me/what I was able to figure out so far. If anyone would like to share any additional info or tips, please do 😊

Note: If your goal is to do more than tweaking or replacing the premades, a save file is most probably the way to go. I actually ended up messing with the premade files because personally I wasn’t quite happy with EAs remake of the Goth family recently & was looking for a way to bring back the original version or replace them with my own instead.

Update/News: There’s now a tool by denton47 that you can use to replace sims from premade households. The tool came out shortly after I made this tutorial.

https://modthesims.info/d/669907/ts4-premade-household-tool.html

From what I understand the difference is that with the tool you can replace or move the actual sims, while with the manual approach as described below, you replace the premade households (therefore you can, for example, also add or remove sims and change the household completely). So I guess the tutorial still has some limited use and might be interesting to those who would like to understand the process.

Magic Sage Attractors

DOWNLOAD

CARPETS: SFS / GOOGLE DRIVE / PATREON

PAINTINGS: SFS / GOOGLE DRIVE / PATREON

These are special objects made for people who want to recreate the Magic HQ building while maintaining the specific areas that belong to each of the Sages. Place one of these anywhere in the lot, and the corresponding Sage will stick around in its vicinity. They do wander around the rest of the building sometimes, but always return to these objects.

There are two options: Carpets and Paintings. The carpets have the symbols and colors associated with each magic school, while the paintings are portraits of the original sages.

You can have all of them installed at the same time, and you can put all of them down at the same time. Just keep in mind that if you place two or more objects that attract the same type of Sage, the sim will choose randomly between each object every time they try to do the interaction. The effect is only noticeable if you place them in different rooms.

Create a Sim based on your Birthday challenge!

Right now im busy with college and preping to a vacation, so i dont have any sims content for you all. BUT i really wanted to try to make a.. interaction? thing? idk how to call this, but basically i want to see all the kinds of sims you can do with your prompt 👀💗

Alright so, I actually was doing everything in my fucking power to not have to do this- but I kind of am unable to do get around it now. Recently my dog has started to develop moments of muscle spasms and semi-seizure like moments where he is entirely present but his body is seemingly out of his control, the vet was originally not concerned bcs it'd happened twice and under two minutes.

However it has happened again since and we're looking at having to go to the vet, and while the insurance might cover things- we are looking at having to pay first obviously. I only get a very certain set amount of money each month and I just reasonably can't pay for the 400-500 dollar vet charges that are estimated to come my way. (My rent alone is 600 dollars, I'm on disability)

If possible whatsoever, It'd mean a great bit if people were able to donate something to help with the costs. I actively hate to do this but my boy needs blood tests done, possible urine sample and god knows what else and it's money i don't have.

And I should be posting some more kind of potential emergency commissions but I'll have to try and figure out how to get art done mid-depressive episode and all of this.

Hear me out, this might be controversial but... Don Lothario being distantly related to the Monty family?

I mean look at these guys. Don can so easily be a distant relative to Bassanio. Besides Don is a name from Shakespeare, as is his mother's name Adriana (and her mother's Isabella).

Behold, Romeo. Women.

I've found myself not keeping with my storylines and getting stressed out over taking screenshots the past few months - also my computer has been in use for other things so I couldn't play. But I decided to do a chill Super Sim challenge and I've brought back Gerdie to do it. And it worked - I had fun playing this so I'm going to continue. I'm using James Turner's Super Sim tracker (yes, I link to his site a lot, but I really like the tools he has set up).

I thought about using a totally new Sim for it - getting all the infant, toddler, child & teen milestones - but honestly, that didn't sound much fun so...it's Gerdie, since she had a lot of things out the way all ready. With that thought process, I probably could have gone with one of my Globetrotter Sims since they completed a lot already. But honestly? I missed her. I moved her to a completely new save so I don't have to worry about her past story and her skills/traits would carry over. My plan is also to move her to different worlds and build her a new house, since I really like building and I'll get bored if she has to live in the same place all the time.

No idea how much I'll be screenshotting/posting, but since I finished a season, I thought I'd start keeping track here of all of her accomplishments.

Gerdie Visser-Pancakes Traits: Genius, Loves the Outdoors, Socially Awkward Outgoing, Clumsy, Lactose Intolerant (Had 2 popups if she wanted to change her trait from Socially Awkward to Outgoing so I decided to go with it. I decided that's my rule) Currently Residence: Mt Komerabi Likes: Idealist Sims, Homebody Sims, Gardening, Black, Purple, Handiness, Cooking, Dancing, Knitting, Skiing, Rock Climbing, Fitness, Photography Dislikes: Yellow (I say yes to any new like - except music genres, because they annoy me with the wants. I don't remember why she dislikes yellow and I haven't received any other dislike requests)

Progress under the cut.
