Hello all,
My modding plans have changed a bit as I didn't plan to make anything for upcoming friday, first of all as since the beginning of this year I don't rush mods anymore each week, but also as this friday Island Living will be released.
But a comment on MTS changed this. Someone commented on my Unlocked Swamp Pack, which was already made back in 2015, with the question ...

Animated - Soda Can + Flying Seagulls
I've already made mods for placing seagulls on terrain, but the flying ones were missing, until now. With these Soda Cans + On/Off switch, you can spawn flying seagulls too!
For more info and some examples, take a look at the video!

- Animated - Soda Can + Flying Seagulls
A short sneak peek video about the flying seagulls!
One thing to remember though, I exaggerated the amount of activated soda cans big time, so don't wo...
Enough posts with only text for now, let's take a look at the upcoming mod a bit more!
As already mentioned, beside the original Orange Juice can, I've also worked on some new recolors for which I tried to make them look like excisting brands.
To see if I did a good job, I want to ask you if you can guess which brands I tried to remake for my The Sims 4 versions. I also used a Siml...
Hi all,
You probably already saw the trailer for the upcoming new Expansion Pack called Island Living, but as I want to share the way I look at trailers, here is what I've seen so far what looks interesting to me.
First all, there will be a lot of new animals species to make into animated placeable mods.
Think about the new fish species, new seagull species (also floating on wate...
Just a few hours after my post about the rumor ($3 Tier), it now seems to be confirmed by a leak on Origin itself! 😍
And also things I hoped would be inside this pack, are in this pack like scuba diving! How cool is that! I also hope the turtles on the image above will be in this pack. Guess who is going to make them placeable for everyone!?!? 😋
A lot other fis...
As you might have read, there's a rumor about Island Living being the name of the next Expansion Pack which would release the 21th of june. If this is true, we will probably hear more about it during EA Play tomorrow.
I really hope this is true as it not only perfectly fits my recent mods, but will also give me much more new ideas probably. Things as scuba diving and living near the beac...
As the Seaweed + Sounds isn't going to be released as the actual sound volume is too low, I want to focus on another Beach related mod which I hope to be able to release next week.
It's another animated animal mod and this time it's all about flying seagulls for above your beaches or fish restaurants. ;)
As object I'm thinking about a simple unlocked soda can which at the beach can ...
2019-06-07 14:29:10 +0000 UTC View PostWith the help of icemunmun I got the Visual Effects text changed to my own text! 🎉
Despite I've decided to not release the Beach sounds mod as they sound all quite the same and the volume is too low (which I can't change), I'm still very happy for having this all figured out eventually.
I will probably use all I learned from this to make many a lot of my future mods but especially o...
2019-06-06 13:13:24 +0000 UTC View PostFor now I do have it working to have multiple effects to choose from, though the sounds might be a bit too low and maybe all sound a bit the same. So I'm not sure if I will actually release this mod too.
One thing that I can't seem to change is the first interaction text after clicking the object, which now is "Visual Effects" by default. After clicking this interaction you're able ...
2019-06-04 18:27:58 +0000 UTC View PostHello all,
In this post I want to share my idea for the next mod, but I'm totally unsure if I'm able to make the thing I have in my head.
In the Effects list not only visual effects can be found, but also a few audio effect.
Now what I want to try is to add some sort of Audio Menu interaction to a beach object, probably an unclocked seaweed object which could normally be fished o...
Animated - Buoy + Waves Effects 🌊
Another Beach mod! With this buoy placed onto your water surface, you have the possibility to spawn 3 different waves effects.
For more info and some examples, take a look at the video!
Have fun using ...
2019-05-31 14:59:29 +0000 UTC View Post
And the Large Wave effect! Also very cool and you only need one buoy to activate it.
You also need a large lot or hide the sides as it's even wider then this 64x64 lot, but looks so incredibly cool! I did noticed a sound problem though, but maybe when using other smaller wave effects too it's barely noticeable.
But really, look at that foam and the darker wave on the right before it cu...

Hello everyone!
I finished the mod and I'm working on the video which hopefully can be finished tomorrow!
On the image I activated multiple buoys in the scene who all will spawn one small wave and will repeat this for an infinite time.
I really love the outcome of this I have to say, especially with these small waves as it doesn't take too long before they repeat what reall...
2019-05-30 13:45:02 +0000 UTC View PostHello all,
I've just tweeted SimGuruNick about the effects I use in my mods and asked why some of them do work on one lot, but don't work on another lot. Sometimes some don't even seem to work in an entire world.
For example my latest mod, the rock + waves effect.
This one doesn't seem to work in Oasis Springs and Stranger Ville at all. Testing it in Willow Creek it does work and...
I need to re-do my whole mod as because of some strange tuning that wouldn't work for some odd reason almost everything stopped working. I've never had it this bad before, so I'm quite baffled I can't get it to work anymore.
I also saved multiple different files, but if I open those they're screwed up too, so I really don't know what's going on here.
Just to make it more worse...
2019-05-27 14:59:35 +0000 UTC View Post
This sneak peek image isn't that great I've to admit, but the water ripple effect simply only is that lighter circle around the buoy that moves from the base in a small circle to a bigger circle away from it.
Also the prove that it has an small deco slot on top of it, so my placeable seagulls can be placed on top of them.
Right now I have a problem with the placement, for some reaso...
2019-05-27 09:15:35 +0000 UTC View PostI had a tiny bit of time to try something for my new mod and got it to work too!
The rock I used for the former mod was already available in the base game too and there fore I decided for that object that the effects would start right at the moment when you go into live mode.
The buoy I use for this new object is already unlocked before for another mod, but isn't in game if you don't h...
2019-05-24 08:45:08 +0000 UTC View PostAs you've might noticed, I haven't shared any news on the new project yet.
The reason is because I don't have time this week at all to work on a new mod.
My girflriend is free from her work this week, so that gives us some time to do a few things together like visiting a zoo! I visited that one for the last time when I was 4 😅, so it will probably be all new for me again this week.&...

Animated - Rock + Surf & Waves Effect
As promised in my last video, today's video will be about another object that makes it possible to add more realism to your beaches.
Adding this rock onto your water surface or beach, makes it possible to let a surf and waves effect to appear.
For more info and some examples, take a look at the video!

I think it's all finished now! On this screenshot the effect itself is less visible as I used a "normal" transparent pool water. As I think most people will use those, I decided to make the screenshot with this kind of water this time.
In the final video I will probably use the non transparent mirror pool water again, as the effects will be better visible. And the final "outro" vide...

Ok, so a new sneak peek screenshot, that unfortunately will not be the effect that will be visible when this object is finished. 😥
I thought I finished the object, with the effect from the first screenshot and this one, but after some testing it turned out that the effect you see right here, which contains both a surf as waves effect, will be out of sync after some time.&nb...

Hi all!
I had a whole weekend to not work on the new mods, but to think about them, which can be quite useful too. Result of this is that I will probably make only one rock object with surf and wave effects and 2 buoys objects with wave effects.
The reason for this is because the first effects will probably be used near the edges of a pool (sea/lake) and the others will be used in t...
2019-05-14 10:05:28 +0000 UTC View PostHello all,
I've got some new info about the next beach mod(s).
As there're a lot of surf and wave effects to be found in the code, I'm planning to not make one new mod which makes it possible to place lake/ocean surfs and waves, but to make multiple different packs. These then will be released over multiple weeks too.
Each pack will have multiple effects to choose from which I wi...
2019-05-09 13:08:38 +0000 UTC View PostIt's probably not something very important, but as a Creator we can now choose the color of the buttons on our page. By default these were red, but as I think green is a much more positive color, I've changed it to green!
I think I would click myself much faster on a green button instead of a red one too, but maybe that's something psychological 🧐
So buttons as "Beco...
2019-05-07 17:57:30 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone,
My next beach project will definitely not be uploaded this week, as I will be gone for the upcoming weekend with friends but also as I don't think finishing this in one week would be possible.
It's all about the waves which are visible in multiple Sims worlds. I've already tested a few of them and some aren't useable for Animated Objects at all, while others need a l...

Then this animated rotating lighthouse light might be the one you're looking for!
