Hello all,
First of all my apologies for not including the actual link to the video in my former post. It's fixed now, but I suppose you all already found the video because of Szanne's link or by maybe visiting my Tumblr, Twitter or YouTube channel directly.
Anyway, for this week I will be trying to get more rocks to be released by the end of the week. This time though it won't be just roc...

Yeah, I've made it in time!
In some way I will always do that as I'm the first to decide when I upload things, but I like to keep things sheduled in some way... :)
Anyway, more rocks are here to decorate your lots in game with. Also don't forget to download the Default Base Game Rock Overrides!

As you can see, after releasing the next mod pack, you will also be able to use the mossy textures that came from the Selvadorada world onto the base game rocks too! (and of course also the other 2 extra recolors)
As for the release date/time I'm not really sure if I can finish it at the same time I normally release my mods. I still need to make the thumbnail, edit the video, make texts and uplo...

In the image above you see the original recolors I've added to all 3 groups of rocks. These are the first 5 (5th=black).
The grey, light brown and mossy recolors are extra recolors which I took from the Get Together Expansion pack (The grey one) and the Jungle Adventures Game Pack.
After I've added these last 3 to all groups of rocks, I thought about the idea to add those same 3 recolors t...

Yesterday when working on 3 group of rocks from the Get together Pack, I found out that exact the same rocks were also in the debug section of the Base Game objects!
And because Base Game objects can be used by everyone, I needed to re-do everything I had done with those Get Together Rocks. Which was quite a bummer as I thought I had them almost finished.
So besides unlocking them, I also ...
2018-08-14 17:35:59 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone,
Hope you all had a nice weekend? I had a rather busy weekend and I'm still feeling tired. Unfortunately this week will be a bit busier too, so less time to mod.
That's why this week, I will be doing something more "simple".
I want to work on unlocking and recoloring some rocks from one or maybe some of the Expansion Packs.
Probably next week I will do something ...
The Squirrels are here to take over the Sims world!
If we can't find the squirrels EA put into the game, we're simply going to place them ourselfs. :)

Hello Patrons!
This video is ONLY for people supporting me on Patreon, so please don't share this video link anywhere else.
It's something only YOU are allowed to see.
This sneak peek will show you an example of how this cute Squirrel looks when placed into your game.
More info and examples will be shown in the final video.
This last Sneak Peek, shows how they will run. In this case I placed the Hazelnut-Spawn-Point inside the Hollow trunk that came with the Chipmunk mod from last week. You can also hide the spawn points behind or underneath some bushes or grass if you want to.
Examples of that will be shown in the Sneak Peek Video which I will be uploading tomorrow.
Another question, has anyone already seen ...

This second Sneak Peek Image, shows you how the will sit just before and after "standing up". Though one of the three animations doesn't get up at all, but only stops for a few seconds with running, before moving on.
I think EA did quite a good job on making these effects, although the head looks a bit silly from the front, but that's probably because you will only see it run by very fast while ...

Today I will share 3 different images of the squirrel itself in 3 different positions.
This first image is the most cute in my opinion. It looks a bit like the Chipmunk when it's eating only then without anything to eat... :P
You can already see that this effect is a bit larger then that of the chipmunk, simply because squirrels are bigger then Chipmunks.
Hello everyone!
Some more info I wanted to share with you about this week's Squirrel mod. While making this mod, I found 3 different kind of animations from a running squirrel and thought that it would be nice to some how add them all to this single mod.
So what I did is make 3 different swatches where each swatch will spawn a different animation of the running squirrel. To make it more ea...
2018-08-07 09:46:40 +0000 UTC View PostHello all,
I hope you're all enjoying your weekend? :) I certainly am! It's the first day since ages that it's below 30 degrees celcius here... it's 27 which feels pretty good after those hot days. Although my PC room is small and it warms up VERY fast, so I'm not going to spend much time in it now.
But I do want to share my idea for the upcoming week with you all.
As already desc...
Another animal for your gardens and parks is here, the chipmunk!
The Hollow Trunk is also useable without the chipmunk effect switched on of course.
I hope you like this mod and video!

There seem to be some problems on Patreon's side processing pledges. A lot of pledges get declined despite the fact there might be nothing wrong with your cards.
I've "lost" 7 patrons already because of this. Although they will automaticaly be counted after the pledge has been processed eventually.
Patreon says they're working on a solution, so don't worry ab...

I totally forgot about this sneak peek I should post today, I'm sorry!
I didn't had enough time today for also making the Sneak peek video, so that one will come tomorrow.
So in the image above you will see the chipmunk while it's eating before it will run away. Looks quite cute IMO. :)
As you can see in the image above, I also added two deco slots to the hollow trunk, so you will be able to place my placeable birds and/or reptiles to the trunk too.
Probably more placeable birds mods will be made some day, so you can place birds to this trunk who actually make sence.. As I don't think seagulls belong in a forest. Although, the trunk can also be placed onto your beaches or parks...
2018-08-01 07:25:23 +0000 UTC View Post
To make the hollow trunk to float as in the image above, just move the object above the water and click, this can be done without using any cheats.
As I often like to decorate the bottom of my custom ponds too, I also made the hollow trunk able to be placed on the bottom of a swimming pool. To do that, you'll need to press "Page Down" while in build mode to go to a lower floor level and then pla...

Hello everybody!
An update on this week's mod. The image above shows you the hollow trunk I will be using to let the chipmunk spawn from.
This hollow trunk is exact the same one that I unlocked for the Unlocked Swamp Pack which was one of my first mods after The Sims 4 released.
The difference though, is that the original hollow trunk was HUGE, so I shrinked it a bit to look more like an ...
Hello everyone!
First of all I would like to welcome some new Patrons!
I'm very happy you all decide to support me and I hope you will like the things I share with you. (If you don't please let me know that too) ;)
For the upcoming week I have another animated animal mod in mind.
Just like my former animated mod, the seaweed + sandpipers, I will add an effect to an object this time t...
The natural looking frozen ponds are here, that is after you've decorated around and on top of them yourself of course.. 😁
Enjoy your TS4 Spring/Summer/Fall/Winter ice skating days!

Especially for the Thumbnail of this mod, I made the scene on the image.
As I thought it came out really well, I decided to also make a video about it to include in my final mod showcase video for tomorrow.
Maybe this could also become a lot which I could share with everyone if I totally finish it, also where the camera isn't looking right now 😜
Do you think you would dow...

Like you can see, it's also possible to use these frozen ponds indoors. In this case I tried to make some sort of Disco-Ice-Skating-Hall 😋
I'm not that good in making indoor interiors though...

Using one of the floor light colors, in this case the blue one, will make the frozen pond look even more beautiful. Especially at night!
More sneak peeks will follow!

Here you see how the large Frozen Pond can look at day time with a blue floor light switched on. Though this is more vissible at night..
See next Sneak Peek Image. :)

So here is an example of how this can look after decorating it around it and on top of it. When placing objects on top of the ice, like the tree in this example, you will have to keep in mind that the parts from the corners to the middle will also be used by you Sims while doing ice skating routines. So never place objects exact in the middle of the frozen pond.
The frozen pond in the image is t...

This first Sneak Peek of the Frozen Pond isn't looking that interesting, but it's the object itself how it will look right out of build mode.
After placing this rather bare frozen pond, it's time to decorate it with plants and rocks, to make it look more natural. An example of that will be uploaded in a few minutes after posting this post!
2018-07-24 18:09:20 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone,
This week's mod ideas came after watching LGR's (Lazy Game Reviews) The Sims 4 Seasons Review, when he said the following:
"Unfortunately you can not skate on the frozen over lakes and ponds and pools stay liquid no matter what.."
Now I can't change anything about that of course, but I can make it LOOK like we have some frozen natural pon...
