this RetailSims functional register by SpiralBoundSims with text changed to Simlish and recoloured in the Sugar Rush palette by @sgthebee (had to borrow those pretty colours again!) I know you didn't ask for Simlish @coolenasha so I hope it is okay that I did that. Because I only recoloured with the new Simlish version I made. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Sul Sul!

I know last time I posted about this I got some comments pushing back on my use of AI for this app. I understand the concerns that people have, so i'm trying to be more thoughtful going forward. I have never used AI like this in the past, it was simply because I got given "Free Access" with the purchase of my new computer and I thought I would utilize the fact it was free to finally create something that I wanted. That free era is almost over but I won't be using it again.

I also got way more comments / messages saying how much they enjoyed the app. Thank you for both kinds of messages, good or bad.

After talking and discussing with people on both sides of the fence I have come the decision to hire a HUMAN developer to look into the app, look at its code, check for any "nastiness" that some people were worried out, and genuinely review and audit / fix any coding errors.

Going forward I will acknowledge that yes, the initial set up for this app was built with the help of AI, but future updates / current changes and anything else will be done by a hired human developer.

This developer gave me a comprehensive review of the app and confirmed there was no nastiness or weird stuff going on with the code - which I knew anyway but it's nice to have that confirmed.

They had some recommendations for some changes, such as as only allowing the app to read .package files / its own files. When "uninstalling" it should make sure it is only removing files it created - it should be doing that anyway but they recommended some more checks in the back end.

So they have edited some of the code already. But I hired them again to address the tightening of the code regarding the file reading and other recommendations they have suggested. Which again, has now been implemented.

So that being said... here is the Sims CODEX - again!

Note - The Sims CODEX is currently unsigned, so Windows / Some antivirus programs may show a warning. This is because code signing requires paid identity verification which displays my personal details. The app is offline, reads local Sims 2 .package files, and has had its source reviewed for unsafe behavior.

Tired of your Sim knocking their head into the counter? Floating kids? Itsy-bitsy thumbnails? And....that they never put it back! NEVER! Just drop it where they stand *sighs*.

C&K @crispsandkerosene did a fabulous job with the two puzzles💕I love them. Basicallly every household in my game has at least one. They just got even more fabulous now ;)

Can be placed on fireplace mantels or any other deco slot and will be picked up, too.

Absent-minded Sims (trait) will still drop it where they stand.

Added an option to pick it up and put it into a sims inventory.

@lucilla-sims 4t2 EP17 Shirt Gothic for EM (requested by @revallsim)

Now for older guys too! It has fatmorph, comes in the original 12 colors (swatch is stolen), and you can choose if you want them repo'd to the AM files (that you can find here), or not :)

@hodgekiss' Alve Desk is awesome, but it seems they forgot to fix integrity so it conflicts with BuggyBooz' Craftsman Front Fall Desk (which it was cloned from). After I fixed it, I saw that @shastakiss had already fixed it! Oops. Well, I have remapped the mesh to use 512x256 textures instead of 1024x1024 so I'll share my edit anyway. This means that existing recolors will break unfortunately, but I have edited and included their original ones.

You can choose between separate or merged recs, all files have been compressed to reduce file size and no mipmaps. Remember to delete hodgekiss' original files or Shasta's if you have them before installing mine. Here is the original preview:

my friend @partypantssims asked if I could convert this wallpaper by treefish and I wanted to learn how to do that anyway .. :D I couldn't find this one done already but if it has I apologize and I'm happy to link to a previous conversion ^^ the wallpaper comes in 8 colours, with and without the baseboard you see above. 256x768 textures.

I’m a big fan of favorite lists, so I thought I’d do my own. I’m starting small, with table lamps, and I tried to include different ones than some of the other lists I keep going back to, like Simper-Fi’s or Deedees. So, here we go:

Flamingo’s Favorites I: Table Lamps

1. pforest, Cool Desk Lamp Listen @pforestsims, I could have listed 15 of your lamps here. They are all gorgeous, they are all in my essentials folder, it was hard to choose, but I cannot have more than two items by the same person on this list, that would be ridiculous.

2. Veranka Boston Bedroom Table Lamp Love the fabric, need to find (make?) some more recolors…

3. pforest, Glass&Brass Banker Lamp The pineapple, again. Such a classic, I put it in all my libraries and bookshops and on many writer’s desks.

4. Moxxa, Awesims MidCentury Ball Lamp Look at those little feet!

5. Shastakiss, Awesims Bubble Table Lamp The colors of this one are so pretty.

6. Thimblesims conversion of Peacemaker’s Mid Century Abode Table Lamp This one became a fast favorite.

7. Ladysimplayer8 Bubble Trouble 4t2 Such a perfect little retro lamp!

8. Veranka Axel Livingroom Table Lamp Whoops, Veranka again. This is my go-to tiny modern lamp.

9. Dot, Pinkie Lamp T$R, sorry. Dot has made many more great table lamps!

10. Shastakiss Ammonite Shell Lamp Kind of weird, kind of a classic, typical @shastakiss.

11. Veranka Geometric Table Lamp I usually only keep a few recolors, but for this little lamp I kept them all.

12. @crispsandkerosene, Tropical Water Lilly Light Much more versatile than you’d think! There is also a version for water surfaces by julsfels.

13. pforest, Saturn Lamp Yeah I lied, it’s three lamps by @pforestsims.

14. Mango Lampe de Chevet Diva CC from what feels like long ago, I still use a lot of lamps from that site!

🔧Guys, this is a big one !

Have you ever wanted some utilities to make your houses look more realistic? Well, I really did, so I converted SIXAM's Home Improvements set; it's 49 objects in total! 🛠️ You'll have lots of things to decorate your basements, garages, bathrooms or backyards. I tried to make as many objects functional as I could, and kept a deco version too, so you can pick and choose.

This was a massive undertaking, took me MONTHS, but I'm glad I did it, and boy am I glad to be done with it too 😅

You can find the original Sims 4 set here, by SIXAMcc. A collection file is included in the download for convenience. It’s also low poly and basegame compatible. Also lots of credits !!

Full object list and extra previews are waiting under the cut ↓

9 Midcentury Posters on Crisps&Kerosene’s World of Wonder mesh.

If you are interested at all in graphic design, you have to check out the Letterform Archive, which has an amazing collection of stuff. These posters are all from different type specimens, posters and typewriter manuals they’ve posted (to which I edited).

They’re on C&K’s World of Wonder wall art mesh, which is so good. I’m including the mesh in the download, but you should really check out C&K’s so you can get all the recolors of the frame.

We've all been there. Our sim is out having a lovely time with some friends, perhaps family, or a whole frat worth of loose acquaintances. They are hungry, they want to eat.

And somehow by the end your Sim has to foot the bill for the whole affair. Hardly seems fair, does it? I mean how often do you go around paying for everyone when you eat out? Nah. I am tired of my poor newcomers in town trying to make friends only to end up with a 8 people restaurant bill to cover on their meager salary. Clearly it is not my fault for making food more expensive resulting in 800+ bills (😇) but the lack of manners in sim-restaurants not providing a means to split the cost 😤 No more!

With this mod, the restaurant podium (*) will now give you the option of splitting the bill. Can be used on dates as well as outings, though it only shows up if there are non-household members taking part in the meal. If there are any such, the podium will give you the option to only pay a fair share of the total bill, corresponding to the % your sims make up out of the total. In the example above, only one sim out of 4 was part of the household, so the sim is given the option to pay 25% of the bill. If two sims had been household members, it would have been 50%, and so on. (**)

(*) Will not apply to custom podiums without a tweak, more info under the cut. (**) Only active household pays, the remainder of the bill is negated entirely. If you play a strictly regulated economy, your restaurant will earn less when you use this option. To track exactly what you ate, or force payment from multiple source is both overly complicated and more conflict-prone, and I do not personally think it is worth the effort here. If you run OFB restaurants, just don't use the option in those.

Conflicts: None that I know of. Does not conflict with Lamare's reservable tables 😊 Edits TTABs of the maxis podiums, action strings and pay bill action/guardian interactions in the semi-global, and adds one custom bhav to the semi-global.

Credits: @episims who when I was frustrated about this in my game pointed out it probably wouldn't be too hard to fix, and what do you know it wasn't. Thank you for being my second opinion and pointing out I can do more than I myself think I can :P Love ya buddy 🥰 @grilledcheese-aspiration who was kind enough to do some tests for me, much appreciated! @kashmiresims who kindly agreed to take previews for me since my game is in Swedish and the text would not have made a lot of sense to most of you :3 Her sims are lucky they don't get my kind of bills! 😁

dude, lamare at it again!!!!!! KICK ASS MOD!!!

Here are a couple mods to do with university and degrees and jobs! This is basically an overhaul of the Maxis majors system and a separate file for major-to-career associations so they make more sense with the new majors. (not that they make much sense in the vanilla game anyway)

I have a Google Doc readme with a comprehensive breakdown of all the majors, the class titles, the skills they use, and so on, as well as some information about making default and custom careers compatible, but here is a quick overview:

MajorsOverhaul This part is the majors. I didn't touch Undeclared, but the other eleven Maxis majors have all undergone some changes - some of them retained their name and description, and others emphatically did not. Which skills are needed, and how many points in each, is not the same in most cases. I did specifically plan for these go to with Cyjon's Semester Changes, but the odd-numbered semesters have class titles and skill points connected to them, so this should still work without Semester Changes if you don't mind a more boring university experience.

Veranka's 3t2 conversion of this cute outfit for @revallsim 🥰 I worked on this while watching Kanto-era Pokemon with my little moogle which is her current favourite.. of course I'm all for that being the big ole gen wunner I am. :P so, 10 recolours (I was kinda into this one and had to make myself stop lol) with textures from EAxis, Spoonflower, threadless, Jessica Roux, misomoso and more I probably forgot. ^^

Vanity Table Make Over

TS2 tends to be praised for its detailed objects, however, TS2 vanity tables seem rather lackluster compared to TS4 vanity tables. Therefore, I decided to improve vanity tables a bit. :)

TS4 Make Up animations added to TS2 vanity tables

First part is a global mod that adds four TS4 adult animations and one TS4 child animation to vanity tables that your Sims will perform when changing their appearance with the use of a vanity table.

It comes in two versions - CHOOSE ONE:

Meduza_VanityTableMakeUp - standard version

Meduza_VanityTableMakeUp_PlantsimChangeHair - choose this version if you have Plantsims Can Change Hair Mod and make my mod load after Midge's

I also converted TS4 make up accessories - they are stored in one-OBJD mulitstate object (your objects limit likes that!): Meduza_TS4_MakeUp_ObjAcc, so you need to keep it. It's hidden from the buy catalog and its only purpose is appearing in Sims' hands while they are putting on make-up.

I also made changing appearance cancellable - if you cancel the action while your Sim is already sitting at a vanity table, they will perform TS4 animations, but you won't get the change appearance window. It might be useful for storytelling purposes. :)

There is one downside - the way changing other Sims' appearance at a vanity table works. The Sim who gives another Sim a makeover stands next to them and gives them lecture, so with this mod the Sim that is given a makeover does their make-up on their own while the other stands next to them and preaches. xD Maybe I'll try to alter this behaviour at some point, but converting animations has exhausted me.

As this mod also uses OFB powder cloud effect and powder puff, I recommend using this mod alongside @pforestsims' powder default.

2. More interactions with vanity tables

The second part is not a global mod, because every vanity tables has its own pie menu table. :(

I added new interactions to three in-game vanity tables (Uni, Seasons and Teen Style):

gussy up

practice speech - I used @jacky93sims' function from their Professional Make Up Vanity Table

use zits cream (teens only)

Zits cream animation looks a bit wonky at times, but it was the best I could get.

Since this is not a global mod, it won't affect custom vanity tables - new interactions have to be added separately if you want them on other vanity tables.

I added new interactions to four custom vanity tables (included with upload):

One tile University, Seasons and Teen Style vanity tables by tbudgett

Queen Elize vanity table by Kate at Parsimonious

I changed their filenames to make edited versions easily distinguishable from originals.

You need to keep Meduza_VanityTableMoreInteractions_Required in your downloads for extra interactions to work, unless you have Meduza_VanityTableTS4MakeUp - then you can delete Meduza_VanityTableMoreInteractions_Required.

Change Wand From Inventory

I also made a mod that lets your spellcasters switch between the wands they have in their inventory without the need to use Midge's wand stands or click on a wand in live mode.

The action can be found under Witch…/Choose Wand…/ or Wizard…/Choose Wand…/.

Once you select the action, your Sim will show you the wand they will be using. Sometimes the wand is placed oddly in their hand, but I decided to live with it and move on.

@midgethetree's Pick Your Wand IS REQUIRED for this mod to work.

However, I recommend using this mod with my edit of Midge's Pick Your Wand as it includes Gryning's TS4 wands and my wandless magic.

@katsurinssims/Japasim's School Roomplate Fully Repo'd

Katsu had already repo'd the metal part to the Uni Shiny Tyme Cooktop but the picture subset was still custom, I repo'd the picture to the Seasons painting A Home for All Seasons. I also took Katsu's Simlish roomplate recolors and made them into recolors for A Home for All Seasons. The roomplate mesh is a clone with a new guid, it wont conflict with Katsu's version
