xoxDahlia | Sims 4 builds and videos

Thank you so much for taking time our of your day to make these & respond to asks <3

Hello, my dears!  I hope you are all well. xx 

After a few days’ break spent decorating a flat in game (photos & video to come; watch this space!) and clearing my head of dancing X and Y coordinates, I come bearing what may possibly be my last set of fixes given that Andrew, absolute legend that he is, recently noted his expectation that the S4S batch fix will be ready this weekend.  I’ve also got a few more updates for you courtesy of LuvMySimz’ brilliant issue spotting. :D

First, the updates:

Daer0n’s screen doors fixed to open on the correct side [RE-DOWNLOAD]

Daer0n’s sunroom door footprint fixed [RE-DOWNLOAD]

And now, the new ones:

Parenthood extended horizontal window addon by @theplumbobarchitect​ [DOWNLOAD] [Original file here]; requires Parenthood GP

MTK’s glass-free windows by @lavi3enrose​ [DOWNLOAD] [Original file here]

Castle arch by Hotchocoliel@S4S [DOWNLOAD] [Original file here]

Lunasims’ Louvred Door converted by Chicklet (@simthingnew​) and recoloured by @anidup​ [DOWNLOAD] [Original files here and here]

Quadruple windows (addon) set by Cicada@MTS [DOWNLOAD] [Original files here]

I hope you enjoy them! xx Don’t forget to observe the creators’ TOUs and please let me know if there are any issues when you put them in your game. :)  Even once the batch fix is out, I’ll still support these files since we’ve sometimes found issues beyond the ModelCutoutResource that a batch fix wouldn’t resolve. 

UPDATED FILES

Hello, friends!  The very clever LuvMySimz on the S4S forum discovered that some of my uploaded files had a mismatch between the BaseFileNameHash and ModelID fields in the CutoutInfoTable resource and therefore weren’t working properly for some Simmers.  I’ve fixed that issue for the affected files, so if you’re having issues, please try re-downloading the following:

Daer0n doors and windows part 1

Daer0n doors and windows part 2

Tingelingelater’s City and Town build sets

Sooky’s Sicilian doors

Aw, it’s my pleasure. I love love love DOX’s work and actually already had it fixed in my game.  It’s part of the most recent batch of fixes here: https://xoxdahlia.tumblr.com/post/633676459124359168/hi-guys-first-i-should-say-that-ive-been While I’m generally not a fan of circulating paid content, it looked like DOX’s sets have been released publicly on their Tumblr by now (one of the pages even links to the old Down With Patreon site, lol)  So I’ve put up all the content and hope that’s okay. 

Hi guys!  First, I should say that I’ve been really blown away by the kind reception you’ve given me and my cutout fixes.  Seeing everyone so excited and happy makes this 100% worth my while, and your lovely words have made me smile.

I also really appreciate the help and encouragement I’ve gotten from current creators (hugs in particular to @mincts4 who graciously gave me permission to fix OMS’s recolours of her Basic Square set and helped me get my head around how the textures worked and @sooky88 who kindly allowed me to share fixes of her Sicilian set).  I’m really blown away by what a supportive community there is here, and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. <3 <3

After another busy day, I’ve filled another round of requests, and I think you’ll be excited about these.  One of the best parts of this exercise has been discovering amazing new build sets, and these are really stunning!

So without further ado, let’s get to the links.

Sets by Daer0n [DOWNLOAD] [Original files here, here and here]

There are too many to list, but I tried to fix every door, window and arch by Daer0n that I could find.  I apologise that the original files are a little disorganised; since Daer0n’s Tumblr and associated links have been taken down, I found them instead on a “TSR Cemetery” archive of work by retired creators [check out the main folder here; it’s really great!]

BTW, I also recommend Liquid Sims’ archives for hard-to-find items by creators who no longer have Tumblrs or websites active.  It’s another fantastic resource.

If there are any other doors or windows by Daer0n that I’ve overlooked, please let me know!  If you can send me the files, I’ll fix them up too. :)

Sets by @dox-7 [DOWNLOAD] [Original files here]

Sets by @yumia-x [DOWNLOAD] [Original files here and here]

Fiance set

Yoghurt set

Sicilian doors by @sooky88 [DOWNLOAD] [Original files here]

Recolours of Minc’s Basic Square set by @ohmysims404 [DOWNLOAD] [Original files here]

Gelina’s Double Sliding Barn Door Arch by @loree-sims4 [DOWNLOAD] [Original file here]

And as an added bonus, I fixed EA’s King of Diamonds Classical Door, which you can download here.  It works as an override, so it will replace EA’s version until they hopefully fix it themselves in the next patch and you can take my file out.  Like the door it overrides, it requires the Get Together EP.

Happy Halloween everybody!

In lieu of Simblreen-esque gift giving, I come bearing the door and window cutout fixes requested so far, with the sole exception of Oh My Sims’ windows, as they appeared to be recolours of an old window set by Minc (and though the files purported to include the meshes, I found all kinds of weirdness when I opened them in S4S and couldn’t figure out what was going on.)

Note that I also fixed a number of Tingelingelater’s doors and windows whose diagonal meshes were missing and therefore needed to be cloned from an object without a diagonal mesh. These objects also tended to be missing their low LOD and shadow meshes, so with the help of S4S tutorials and much trial and error, I figured out how to create these by editing the high LOD meshes.  My poor brain is a bit overloaded, but I think everything should be working (fingers crossed).  Please LMK, of course, if you encounter any issues.

And now for the part you’re waiting for: the links!  They’re all hosted on SFS, which has been behaving itself lately so hopefully I won’t need to put up mirror links.  As a side note, don’t ever worry about ads in my links - I’m ethically opposed to link monetisation because of the spyware risks, but that’s just my view. :)

As always, please observe the original creators’ TOUs.  Also, if you have any requests for fixes, feel free to send them my way.  Just remember that I’m only comfortable fixing objects by retired/inactive creators or objects that I have the creator’s express consent to fix and distribute. 

Hi Lina! Thank you for your kind words first of all! ❤️ I’m happy to help the community have a few wins- we certainly could use it this year!

I actually did look at fixing some of their stuff, but I kinda shelved it for a little bit since some sets have weird things going on like diagonal meshes that look like basic EA doors/windows with the texture overlaid. However, I still definitely want to fix them and will remake the odd ones so they’re cloned from something with only one mesh to avoid the weirdness. Watch this space! 😄

Hey everybody!

As per my last ask response, I’m happy to report that I’ve finished fixing BuffSumm’s beautiful windows and doors.  You can find all sets in the SFS folder linked above.  I did not include any objects that are not doors, windows or arches, such as deco objects, so you’ll have to download these from BuffSumm’s TSR page (https://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/BuffSumm/) if you don’t already have them.

As I mentioned before, since it appears that BuffSumm has retired from the Sims 4 community and I’m not sure how best to contact her, I’m uploading these subject to any objection from BuffSumm.  If she wants to update the files on her TSR account, I will gladly remove these.  I just thought it was a shame that her gorgeous build sets were languishing post-patch, and I am excited to help the community enjoy them again.
