"What If"

My Sims, Clove and Kaerius, from my Omega NSBC. I always wondered what Clove would look like as a merman instead of starting out as a human in his story... and I am NOT disappointed 😭💙

Better Simology Panel

The Simology panel is a true nightmare… so I went on a mission to make it at least a bit better and more tolerable. And now, here I am – presenting the Better Simology Panel mod.

Filter Your Sim's Info with New Categories

Right at the bottom of the Simology panel, you'll now find five filter buttons. Each button helps you quickly jump to different aspects of your Sim's life:

👤 Personality: Sim's Traits, Lifestyles, Character Values, Ghost Powers, and Robot Modules.

👍🏻 Preferences: Likes and Dislikes and Relationship Preferences.

🏆 Accomplishments & Growth: Milestones, earned Degrees, and Resolutions.

🌟 Public Standing: Public Image and Faction Reputations (from Batuu...).

☑️ Neighborhood Action Plans: the cursed community NAPs.

Better Simology Panel | Patreon

Currently available in Early Access. Public release: June 24th.

Adjusted Thumbnails for the Household Panel (incl. a version for shorter teens)

Some of this started off as an experiment following a chat in Creator Musings but a few people wondered if I can share it sometime, so here it is.

1A) Adjusted camera settings for kids and pets

This is just something that bothered me and it mainly affects thumbnails in CAS. There's a strong perspective view applied to the CAS thumbnails of kids and pets, which makes them look a bit distorted and the zoom is too close cutting off the face in some cases:

The adjustments are somewhat a compromise of CAS and in-game settings leaning towards the latter. The adjustments for human sims are also included for in-game thumbnails (due to some restrictions this is not quite possible for pets, but their in-game version looks fine anyways).

1B) Adjusted camera settings for shorter teens (tested with the Shorter Teens mod by Menaceman44)

Disclaimer that sims aged teen-elder use the same camera settings and there's no way that I know of to treat teens differently or assign different settings based on the height of a sim, if you use such a mod.

When you use a height mod, the sims faces will be cut off with the default settings.

My workaround here is zooming out to allow shorter sims to fit into the picture frame. It's not an optimal solution, but the only solution I can think of. Below a preview using the standard teen height (first row) and the "shortest" teen height (second row) from the Shorter Teens mod.

This version uses 1A) as a base, but zooms out more on human sims (pets have the same settings as in 1A).

Note: Also not optimal, but you can try making the UI bigger via the game accessibility settings to make the household panel incl. the thumbnails a bit larger if these settings make the sims portraits too small.

2) Angled Pose (made for Waffle ^^)

Waffle mentioned that we used to have angled pictures in the household panel (seems like this was the case until pets were added to the game). Below I tried to recreate the original settings (based on a very old blurry screenshot :P).

Below an example of how it looks standalone and with the camera settings 1A/1B.

The pose override is only for human sims, not for pets. I feel like the very different proportions and profiles of cats and dogs won't always look great when angled (and I suspect that's the reason this was changed when pets were added).

You can use this option in addition to the above settings or standalone. (This is a pose override, not an override for camera settings and can therefore be used independently.)

Download links are below the cut.

DOWNLOAD

1A) Adjusted camera settings for kids and pets: SFS | MF

1B) Adjusted camera settings for shorter teens: SFS | MF

2) Angled Pose: SFS | MF

Change log:

January 18th 2025: A mermaid specific pose was missing in the Angled Pose mod (only noticeable in CAS). Added it.

Notes:

Pick either 1A) or 1B)! Don't put both files into your mods folder.

You can use 2) in addition or standalone.

You need to delete the file localthumbcache.package to let the game generate new thumbnails. Otherwise you won't see any changes in game until the game needs to update the thumbnails on its own. (You should see the changes in CAS immediately, though.)

NEW UI POSES OVERRIDES!

Are you tired of those same old mood poses? Blacc Dot team to the rescue! 

We have replaced every single UI Mood Pose currently available in the game! Which is 38 to be exact! These new poses are only available for Teen-Elder Sims. We are planning on doing the same for Child & Infant Sims.

📖 SIM STORY MOD 📖

   Hi! Yes, yes it's me, I hope you haven't forgotten me yet? After my absence, I'm incredibly excited to write this post for my favorites ♡

   Soon you will be waiting for a lot of new mods from replacements to different usefulness, I am full of energy and ideas to create for you!! In the meantime, let me tell you in detail what kind of mod I made and how it works!

   Filling the save with different sims, doing makeovers of pre-made families and just creating characters, I always paid a lot of time and attention to working out the story and personality of the sims.

   After all, it's much more fun to interact with characters with specific tastes, interests, skills, and at least some backstory!

   But, alas, it takes a lot of time and patience to work out each character, so, without thinking long, I decided to create my own little wand that will do everything for me!

    If you don't feel like reading a lot of letters, you can watch a small video review of this mod!

    Now, clicking on a sim with Shift held down (with the enabled testingcheats true) will bring up the "Sim Story..." menu, where you can select "Create a story for this sim".

   This action will automatically add your sim:

   When randomizing, this mod will primarily take into account:

✓ Aspiration

✓ Traits

 If available, the mod will consider:

✓ Career

✓ Diploma

✓ Preferences 

✓ Turn-Ons and Turn-Offs

✓ Lifestyle

    Also, you can individually add just skills, lifestyle, preferences, attractive and a phone case, depending on what your sim is missing!

    If you're tired of completely blank NPCs that your sims have no interest in interacting with, I have a solution!

  With the addon to the main mod, unplayable sims who don't already have preferences, attractive, skills, etc., will automatically have a story added!

✧ D O W N L O A D ✧

~Sim Story Mod ❗Required Lot51 Core Library ~NPC Story Addon

❗ At the moment the mod can cause MCCC errors if you don't have some expansion or game packs. I am looking for a way to fix this and will soon release an update with a fix ❗

   I really hope that this mod will be useful for you and help you when creating sims! If you have any ideas what could be added to this mod, I look forward to hearing from you in the comments! ♡

DEYSET - a gshade preset

Download / Video As part of the fundraiser we are holding for the trevor project I'm releasing my personal preset that I'd describe as an 'elevated' vanilla preset!

It's a bit moodier, the colors are more muted, the greens are more of a cyan than yellow, overall my goal was it to give the game more of a realistic look while still honoring the classic cartoony sims charm! :)

Deyset with Relight + Immerse Ultimate Relight / Deyset / Vanilla Sims 4 - Relight Tutorial by Deary!

The preset drew a lot of inspiration from the arcadia preset by pearlean, simhatton by piixxa and miugren - would recommend checking them out!!

Controls PPFX SSD0 - F7 MXAO - F8 ADOF - F9 qUINT_Relight - F10 iMMERSE Ultimate: ReLight - F11 Information I'd recommend turning MXAOFFXIV off for gameplay All of the pictures were taken with SRWE - thumbnail used Bloom and SmartDeNoise I usually just turn these on for Screenshots Socials YouTube / Twitter / Fundraiser

Misc: Ultimate List of Business Ideas ♥ [UPDATED]

Hi ❀ʕ·ᴥ·ʔ

Today, after hours of brainstorming and collecting impressions, I proudly present to you the ultimate list of business ideas for the newly released Businesses & Hobbies pack ✧. ✲ﾟ･｡✧･ﾟ

I've categorized the business ideas to provide a more structured overview, because there are so many  (๑❛ʚ❛๑). They are sorted into the following categories: 📌 Service-based small businesses 🍽️ Restaurants & entertainment venues 🛍️ Retail & creative shops 🛠️ Craft & manufacturing businesses 🎭 Fantasy & unconventional businesses.

Also for some of these ideas, I recommend using CC or mods to deepen the immersion, but that's completely up to you — sometimes using your own imagination does the trick too~ The recommended or sometimes necessary packs are included behind the business idea as well as CC/mod recommendation markers ❀✿❀

If you feel like something's missing, please comment your idea(s) and I will happily add them to the list so that the compendium can continue to grow (◕ω◕✿)

Please take a look at my Patreon for more cute Sims 4 stuff~ You can find the original post here.
