Hi, your Mooncasters mod is really cool, will you be updating it?

Thank you! Eventually :)

[justneilio]

hey, i'm a little confused as to how to get the canine familiar for the mooncasters mod. i've been going through the tunnels, and is it just chance, or am I looking at the wrong place?

The canine familiars can be found by digging on the ground in moonwood mill. An easy way without cheats is by having a werewolf with the "Scavenger" and "Enhanced Smell" abilities and use them to find the familiars throughout the neighborhood. If you don't wanna wait just use "testingCheats true" and "bb.showhiddenobjects", go to buy mode and search "canine familiar", that should do it.

A New Look

Hey! Just wanted to say that I'm going to start using Tumblr more, and I'll start by using it as a space to share progress on mods, not just to publish them! I've made few categories to give space to new, old and unreleased mods. This Page isn't the only thing getting a Rebrand, I'm planning to put on a new look for my old mods (well... Mod) too!

Heyoo, the mooncaster mod isnt working for me, i have the verity miniature and the only option is to put it in my inventory, my sims is a spellcaster acolyte if that has anything to do with it

That's strange, do you have the XML injector in your mods folder?

What I've been working on

Just because it's taking so long to work on this mod because of irl things I have to take care of, I've decided to publish these two videos. Everything is subjected to change!

hi, Neil!, glad to see you back: i got to say that i enjoyed the handful of your older mods i was able to lay my hands on, and apart from glitchy and confusing, and sometimes scary glitchy. the passing time got them. i really see a big potential, youre very smart and creative, the thing is if you were planning or bringing any mod back, or nevermore, -thank you

I think that my mods had a relatively short but intense life to be honest. I am glad I was able to bring something new when there weren't any/many occult related mods though, and I thank each and every person who appreciated my work! 😊 As of now, I don't plan on remaking my older mods but who knows?Modding has become a hobby for me now, as before I was usually left with frequent burnouts because of the constant updates the game had and the quantity of things I had to fix 😅

For example, a mod I would like to revisit and start from scratch is my old genie mod, introducing some interesting and original concepts instead of just taking too much inspiration from the old games

Or even revisit a mod that I never released and stopped working on, Only time and my availability to mod will tell!

It was so much fun!

So, me, @revsm , @justneilio and @gingersimmerr played TS4 multiplayer with S4MP.

The four of us have known each other for 5 years, since 2017 to be exact, we are Italian, so we said jokingly "but why don't we pretend to be a sect called "I Peppini" that worships a mustachioed divinity who is a Neapolitan pizza chef who with his mustache saves humanity...?"

His name is Vito and we praise him so much that Neil has created a statue in his honor.

Anyway after we got bored we used the EV until everything broken and the game decided to bless us with Judith who passed like nothing was among the corpses...

May Vito bless her grace with his mustache.

I did something!🐺👻 (@simomo-cc this hair for werewolves is awesome!)

During a multiplayer game with @revsm, I was wondering how can I make the game more interesting... And then it came to me "Let's make a new occult!" This is what I call a "Spirithound", a werewolf that can make contracts in exchange for spectral goods and services! Sort of a secretary of the shadow realm. I thought about releasing the mod, but i realized that: 1. It isn't finished, was made for fun and in my native language (Italian), it's not about translation but more about "what could I add to make it more interesting" 2. Its gameplay strictly relies on the players of the game, they do have special features, but most things are up to the players Take the contracts for instance, once the sim signs your spirithound's contract it's up to YOU to decide what to add in it:

I'm willing to consider to make a singleplayer version, but I'd need to figure out what could I add to make it interesting and not too similar to my old Death Angels mod 😅

Hi! I am having an issue with the mod not working though I have met the requirements. I have a Mac not sure if that is significant, it could be worth mentioning. Could it be conflicting with any mods, maybe? Because all of the files are there so I don't understand what's the problem. Been a fan for a long time and I was really excited to play with this awesome mod. Your help would mean a lot, thank you. :)

Hello, so sorry for the delay! Unfortunately I haven't figured out why it doesn't seem to be working, make sure you have "script mods enabled" under the "Game options/other" tab since updates tend to uncheck those options

If you can help me make something base on a book called 1001 Tricks You Can Teach Your Familiar?

I like to see a skill known as Familiar Training Skill Like Fetch, Somersault, Magically Clean The House, Target or Attack Sims, Or Learn To Obey On Your Commands, Learn To Become Intelligent, Morphiate Into An Inanimate Object When Not Used, Cast Delicioso To Create A Grand Meal, Summon Scruberoo Spirits To Clean The House, Giving Familiars Affection, Communicate With Other Sims Telepathically. All the tricks you could possibly teach your familiar. Failed Tries that they are always so stubborn they never actually learn unless you have a higher skill.

Hi! So, I honestly don't know if familiars are moddable enough to do that, their system is a lil bit complex. I had in mind to do some kind of additional interaction for them in the past but it would either have soooo many overrides, tunings and animations that could basically break with any patch or the familiar system doesn't allow many of the intraction listed here😅 I do love your concept though! Maybe new resources could be added to the game in the future that will make these interactions easier to do 😊

There is a way you might get your lunar fish by using Familiar Additions by MAL22

I thought about that yes, but I think I will end up adding it as an addon. It wouldn't be convenient to add too many requirements on the main mod

When you know Don Lotario doesn't respect boundries so you talk to him 10ft away

hey, i love your mooncaster mod, especially your explanation lore-wise! i read you had plans for a lunafish familiar and was curious if the mooncasters could have pets as familiars in the future? thanks again for the mod, i hope you have a wonderful day/night!

It might be possible but I'm not 100% sure of it. Will definitely do it if I can though!
