Bubble Waffle Maker

A small functional object that allows you to make 10 different types of bubble waffles.

It can be found under 'Small Appliances'. It has one menu and it's base game compatible.

All ingredients are optional, if you have them they decrease/remove the price.

I used the waffle maker introduced by EA, I just converted it to be able to use it in the base game but it keeps all 8 original colors.

I hope you enjoy it! Thank you for your support!

Hmmm…I was trying to make replacement wands and it seemed like everything was going in the right direction, it didn't look too bad (there were things to solve) it even worked:

Until…

Errors everywhere (even in puddles of water)(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Those rough textures shouldn't be there.

Here is the power and importance of correctly adding a normal map, otherwise it screws up everything in the game ¡WOW! I didn't know.

"Caput Draconis!"

The Fat Lady has guarded the Gryffindor Common Room for centuries, letting students into their home-away-from-home... if they have the password, of course!

This is the project that got me into making cc in the first place. At the end of 2020 I was building my own version of Hogwarts. I had far fewer packs and I was searching out Harry Potter-related cc to incorporate. I finally reached the Gryffindor Common Room and of course needed The Fat Lady's portrait as the entrance. Except I couldn't find one. Although I'd had one for TS3, I couldn't find an acceptable one for TS4. So I tried learning how to convert objects. I had no idea how to use blender, my texture modifier was Paint and I was teaching myself how to use TSR Workshop and Sims4Studio as I went along.

Needless to say, I failed spectacularly. The doors just didn't work. I had no idea what I was doing. I managed to follow all the steps for converting... except I was basing it on a tutorial for a deco object. Guess what doesn't get covered in such a tutorial? Weights. I ended up giving up on the door conversion, sticking the fat lady onto a base game door's texture and settling for that. Then I made paintings. Because those were doable, and moved on from there.

I actually came back to this project last May and tried again. With a few more years of experience and reading the forums I had a better idea of how to use everything and I knew weights were a thing, so I tried modifying those. I actually, somehow, made a door that functioned as a portal, except sims just stepped through the painting, at least in some cases. It failed but not as bad.

So now, nine months later, having worked with weights on several projects now (converting the Cashcraft beds most recently, as well as the various earrings from last Simblreen), I figured it was time to try again. And it worked! I got everything weight painted correctly, I actually cut up the painting mesh so it could move and now I have a proper door. The only issue is that it's a little small... but that's for a subsequent project. There is also a little bit of gapping at certain angles between the painting and the door on the reverse, but it shouldn't be too noticeable. I'm so glad I can move this from WIPs to my Completed Projects folder!

The Fat Lady is Base Game Compatible and comes in nine swatches so you have options for the reverse door (which is based on the base game six-paneled door).

I used the same base painting mesh that I adapted from @thejim07.

COMMISSIONS (STATUS: OPEN)

Due to substantial interest in my work (♥), I'm opening commissions for conversions.

I do:

CAS accessories, Teen-Elder

Almost all Buy Mode

Simpler Build Mode stuff (walls, floors, fireplaces, plants, MAYBE columns - never tried them!)

Patterns

I won't do it, please do not insist:

Fences, windows, doors, arches and all the other complex Build Mode stuff

Vehicles except for witch brooms

Functional mattresses, never got the hang of them

Clothing and shoes

Hair

Makeup

Pricing:

Up to 4 items: $7.50

5 to 7 items: $12

8 to 13 items: $22.50

14 to 18 items: $30

19 to 23 items: $37.50

24 to 33 items: $52.50

34 to 47 items: $75

For more than that, please tell me in private.

Yes, it's basically Suteflower's rate+50%, because I don't want to cut into her profits, I do have a regular job so I can't be as prolific, and I think it's fair to charge more because of my own experience in conversions :P That said, I am open to negotiations, especially from Global South simmers!

Also stuff like separating one painting with 30 presets into 3 paintings with 10 presets each do not count as extra items, that's just my way of optimizing items!

Extra notes:

No, sets don't count as a single item, don't even try :p

I'll try my absolute best to make all items recolorable, but for some items with complex textures it isn't always possible

For high poly alpha creators, please let me have a look at the items before I accept the commission or not - sometimes reducing the polycount for those items is just Not Worth It, but in my case it'll be kind of rare to refuse it

Kitchen counters, islands and cabinets are calculated by EVERY MODULAR PART instead of just a singular item because in practice they are multi-object conversions

Depending on the original creator, I'll share the conversion in private to avoid drama. You'll be free to share it with your friends and I'll be free to share with mine, though!

How to request:

Please send me a DM or reply to this post for the items you're interested, so I can check if the conversion is viable or not. If I accept it, please send me your Discord (if you have it; if not, we'll communicate by DMs anyway), so I can start sending you WIP pics and beta versions of the items, and also for discussion about edits, optimization, etc.

Pay me by Paypal or Ko-fi after I have a look at the TS4 items and we decided on a place to communicate. For Brazilian simmers, YES I DO ACCEPT PIX and we'll decide on the exchange rate in private!

I'll try to work on your request as soon as possible, and I'll inform you if anything happens or if I need to delay it a little.

My timezone is GMT-3, so please be patient!

I reserve the right to refuse a commission for any reason!

Also, my trades for clothing ARE STILL UP!

Functional Loom Historical AddOn

Hi guys! I hope you’re doing well! I’m excited to share with you a historical add on for the Functional Loom.

I’ve been approached by @simverses, who shared with me that a lot of people who played historical gameplay shared with them, they would like to be able to craft their content on the Loom. So with their approval I added new craftables that are more historically appropriate.

You can find on the download page new package file called PiedPiper_FunctionalLoom_CraftableItems(HistoricalAddOn), if you already have the loom installed, this is the only package you need to add.

This update adds 36 more craftables, that were taken from Simverses’ conversion of Medieval Rugs and Tapestry - the original items can be found HERE.

The levels that unlock the items are - level 3 (Medieval Castle Rug), level 4 (Medieval Castle Wall Rug) and level 5 (Medieval Tapestry).

Originally I had plans to implement more items, but while testing I observed that (note I’m playing on high graphics and my computer is very good) it takes time to open the recipes window and more time to show up the icons of the craftables, once the Sim reaches level 10, because then they have all 150+  (this will be such a pain if I need to update it :D) craftables unlocked.

So I decided I’m not gonna add more craftables, because people with computer with lower graphics might wait even more.

Once again thank you @simverses for your great content!

You can download the Add On on the original download page on my Patreon, it’s free.

HI!

Just a quick introduction

My name is Lera and I recently started making CC for TS4. It started as a “I'll just try it for fun” thing and turned into “I'll make a whole pack!” thing. I was shy for a while to show people on the internet what I am working on, but given that people around me are not into TS4, I gotta show it to someone, right? I am not ready to show the whole thing yet, so I am going to post some WIP for now. I am currently working on a set of objects called Songbird. The first part of it is a small hallway set with a “functional” umbrella (with Seasons pack it works as an umbrella stand) and a bench with multiple slots for decor. Here are some glimpses on how it looks like. I hope it'll be available for download soon (when i’ll figure out some things). 

P.S. Also, what objects do you want to see in that set, that are missing in a Base game, or you don’t like their look in other packs? 

[twinsimming]

Hey :) I just wanted to let you know you are doing god’s work for the sims 3 community and I appreciate you so much <3 any link for us to buy you a coffee?

Also— question, how did you start making such high quality mods so fast? Any tutorials you’d recommend? I’d love to hear about your modding journey! Mine has been a bit of a fail so far haha :p

Thank you so much uphorya, I appreciate you too 🤗 I made a Ko-fi if anyone would like to tip me, but please do not feel pressured to! My content will always be free.

As for modding, I actually started back in 2020 when the pandemic hit. Like you, most of my first attempts at script modding were failures, but each time I failed, I learned something new and applied it to my next attempt. I didn't have much success until last year, around the time when I started helping Alunn with the Yoga Mod. Then I took what I learned from the project and started on the Pasteurize Milk Mod and the Chaise Lounge Mod after that. The milk mod alone was a WIP for around 17 months, so don’t feel discouraged about a mod taking too long to make!

I also used quite a few tutorials. I'll link some of the most relevant ones below:

Sims 3 Object Modding

Sims 3 Pure Script Modding

Sims 3 XML Tuning Modding

How To Make a Default Replacement

PuddingFace's Modding Tutorial Playlist

Creating a Game Compatible Visual Studio Project

Sims 3 Script Modding: Setting Up SharpDevelop

TS4 to TS3 Animation Conversion Tutorial

Jazz Scripts - Adding Animations to Your Objects

Something else that's been helpful for me is to look at what code functions other modders are using. The main place I used is the Sims 3 Modding Forum at ModTheSims (MTS) and the Cave of the Code Snippets thread there. There are also more tutorials you may find helpful depending on your projects on the Tutorial Board.

A really good tool for starting out is the Script Mod Template Creator by Battery. It creates script mod templates for you, so you don’t have to make your own from scratch! This is also the same tool that I used to create the custom moodlets for the milk mod.

And finally, connect with other creators! There are so many people in this community willing to help you get your mod off the ground. The reason I have long thank you lists for my mods is because all of those people helped me in some way or another make my modding dreams a reality (and I appreciate them so much!!). 

If you get stuck, don’t be afraid to make a thread on ModTheSims or reach out on the TS3 Creators’ Cave over on Discord. Sorry this is kind of long, but I hope it will be useful 💙

If you’re not in the mood for scrolling chronologically, here are some categories to browse 😘😘

✨ please excuse my sometimes shabby in-game screenshots. my computer is old.

✨ If you find any of my CC posts where a DL link isn’t working, *please* let me know via DM or Ask, I will fix it immediately. There have been a handful of links on older posts that have somehow lost their text formatting as a link, so I am adding the actual text of the link to these instead.

✨ I do take commissions, all info on commissions is on my Ko-Fi page. Just message me first so I can make sure I can fit it into my schedule. As of June 2025, payment for commissions must be made before work is started after we have discussed what you want.

✨ Patrons are always welcome to make requests. If it is for a larger amount of items I will add the set to the monthly poll. All poll choices that get at least 1 vote are made that month. The winning option gets made first, then the second one, and so on. There are typically 3 poll options per month so that I might have some time to make some other things that I have in my WIPs.

✨ TOU & STATEMENT

📢  Announcements (Click this link to read important information related to the Simming community & CC, & also things pertaining to my own blogs. Updated February 2024) ✨ Very WCIF Friendly! I will even try to help you find items I haven’t posted in my own pix, if you’re in need of help. If I can’t find your item, I can make a post asking the community.

✨ My CC Lamps: I have an issue with my vertex paintbrush, which tells an object where to illuminate and where to have no light. My lamp CC looks best in game when the brightness is turned down a little on the lamp. I am currently trying to figure out this issue and will update the downloads for all lamps as soon as I can add the vertex paint. Also, until I figure this out, anyone is welcome to add vertex paint to any of them, I would update the file and put a credit in the file and posts. ✨ ACNH Bed Conversions: People asked me if I could make these functional, & I tried. The meshes for these items do not allow them to work with the animations in TS4 properly. They are made with the BG cot as the base item, and the Sims will sleep on top of them, but not under a blanket (with the exception of a couple of them where I could use the EA mattress without taking away too much from the look of the item it is supposed to be).

I do not use DX11 with my game. If you are using DX11, run the DX11 batch fix with Sims 4 Studio before starting your game. For those that have never done it, do not fear for it is very simple and will update any CC in your mods folder that needed it. I know the new DX11 API causes issues having something to do with the wall items, that I know of, but seems to sometimes effect thumbnails or causes other issues. If you do not have Sims 4 Studio, here is a link about how to install it from their official website. And of course, if you need help please send me a message.

Please message me if you have any other issues with my CC 💗 (if you write to me about something already listed above that’s okay too)

✨ I remove my timezone reblogs after approximately 24 hours, in order to keep my Tumblr neat, to allow easy CC shopping for the people who like to scroll. All original CC posts stay put. (see bottom of this post for links to other kinds of posts). Continuous scrolling is turned off, so if anyone is going back chronologically, they can note where they left off if they take a break, as I like to do myself when perusing a creator’s catalogue who has made lots of CC.

After taking my sweet time in viewing The Crown - Season 3, I gathered all my excitement and creative energy (do I really now?) to continue my ambitious project - The Sims 4 version of Buckingham Palace. Again, limitations in the game mean that I couldn’t pull it off 100% but I’m still happy and excited to share to you one of my projects that is closest to my heart.

Have I mentioned before that this has been a project years in the making? Yes, it started from The Sims 3 - which ran the course of its life without me completing this. Then, in TS4 I had multiple revisions (sometimes being a perfectionist does have its pros and cons).

This project wouldn’t have been possible without countless searches on Pinterest and stalker-ish searching online for photographs of the rooms (No, I haven’t been to Buckingham Palace).

Now, let me give you a tour around Buckingham Palace - à la The Sims 4 style!

For a very special guest like you, we pass through the main archway and here I give you a glimpse of the West Wing portico. (My Sim Royal Family isn’t in residence right now - which means we have all access! Yay!)

Now, we enter through the Grand Entrance. According to historians, this area was ‘sunken’ to give that high ceiling effect. Before the Buckingham Palace became this grand home to Her Majesty, it started out as a small house bought by George III for Queen Charlotte.

Before we go to the Principal Floor, let us see the rooms on the Ground Floor. Here, we have the Marble Hall. At the end, you can see the foot of the Ambassador’s Staircase. (I tried to fully recreate the Marble Hall by recoloring @thejim07​ portraits with the actual portraits care of the Royal Collection Trust website.)

We are now in the Bow Room. If Her Majesty, The Queen hosts garden parties, we go exit through this room and proceed to the Palace Gardens but unfortunately, the next garden party will be scheduled next year. Maybe we’ll invite you by then?

From the Bow Room, we proceed to The 1844 Room. This is where The Queen usually receives distinguished guests (https://www.vogue.com/article/1844-room-buckingham-palace).

If we go farther, we can reach the Belgian Suite. Her Majesty’s guests stay in this Suite. Some of the distinguished guests that stayed here were the Obamas for their state visit (This is actually my own interpretation of it, there seems to be no photos of it online.).

Now, if we just go back to The Bow Room, we can access The 1855 Room opposite The 1844 Room.

Hope you’re excited now, we’ll be going up. Kindly follow me to The Grand Staircase.

Well, it’s not as grand as it looks now but at least the portraits are faithful representations, eh? Now, may I direct your attention to the next room in the tour?

We are now in the Green Drawing Room. You may take a look at the view outside by the Portico if you wish.

Shall we move on to the next room?

This is the Throne Room. Official functions are held at the Grand Ballroom (of which, is absent in this build due to space limitations) though official photographs of events are usually taken here. The portrait on the left side is a portrait of HM Queen Elizabeth II with Willow, Vulcan, Candy and Holly commissioned by the Royal Mail Group last 2013.

We are now in the Picture Gallery. On display are (supposedly) The Queen’s collection of Italian, Dutch and Flemish works from around the 17th-century.

Now, we’re here at the White Drawing Room; quite famous of the State Rooms and well-known if you ask me. You can see the portrait of Queen Alexandra hung above the fireplace. This room is usually used for small gatherings and audiences. HM The Queen usually does her Christmas Message in this room.

Next stop is the Music Room. During summers when the Palace is open to the public, collections, such as the Queen’s dresses, are displayed here.

The Blue Drawing Room. You can see portraits of Queen Mary and King George V. Did you know that the architect who was tasked to redesign Buckingham Palace went over budget?

...and we have the State Dining Room. Again, this is usually reserved for small gatherings since State Banquets are done at The Grand Ballroom.

Now, I’ll be giving you an extra tour of the palace. HM has extended her warmest regards to you, our very special guest.

Maybe she’s waiting for you at the Private Audience Chamber? Oh, she’s out but feel free to look around instead. (I tried to copy this room from photographs the Queen has with dignitaries - well, this is the most dignified recreation I can make.)

Now, we’ll be passing through the Principal Corridor. We’re already at the East Wing and I’ll be showing you the Balcony Room.

We’re now in the Balcony Room. This is where the Royal Family gathers before they go out the Balcony and wave at the British (Sims?) people during great events - and no, you may not go out on the Balcony as protocols permit only the Queen and members of the Royal Family.

On the South end of the East Wing, you can find the Yellow Drawing Room. Yes, this place has a lot of sitting rooms.

On the North end of the East Wing, we have the Chinese Dining Room. The Chinese collection came from the Brighton Pavilion when Queen Victoria commissioned the construction of the East Wing of Buckingham Palace.

Since we’re already on the North Facade, how about a tour in the Queen’s Private Apartments? (Old paintings show a predominantly green room dated to Queen Victoria’s time.)

For the last part of the tour, the Private Apartments of the members of the Royal Family. (This was heavily inspired by The Crown - Season 3).

It was very wonderful having you around and I hope you had a great time with us. On behalf of HM The Queen, I would like to extend her warmest gratitude for your time. We hope to have you again soon!

...and that ends our tour! I hope I didn’t post a very long one but I hope you all understand how excited I am to share this to you all. Of course, this wouldn’t be possible without the creative works and efforts of the following The Sims 4 CC creators:

@felixandresims​ most of the royal build-buy content, @harrie-cc​ for her traditional re-colors, @thejim07​ for the artworks, sculptures, and to Leader Belgraves’ TS3 to TS4 Asian Objects c/o @simshistoricalfinds​ (and if there is someone I failed to mention, please send me a message so that I can acknowledge you)

I also dedicate this post to HM Queen Elizabeth II - for being an inspirational figure; to all royalty simblrs out there... and to those who are waiting for their creative juices to complete their WIPs :)

Bubble Teas

Description:

Bubble Tea is an add on for the Hot Carob Drink Machine. Since the the end for the spring is here I wanted to create some cool and refreshing drink for our Sims to enjoy. And what better than preparing Bubble tea from the comfort of your home? Your Sim doesn't need to take this tiring road to the thrift shop anymore, just for a good ol' cup of nice bubble tea. To make it you need the Hot Carob Drink Machine. You need to place it on the lot (on a counter) and now after I updated it, you'll be able to see 2 new menus to make a single or multiple bubble teas. Each option will open a selection menu and you can choose from 10 different types.

It's base game compatible and it has the drinking animation for the EA bubble tea.

Wine Making [Glass Version]

Hi guys! I know it took me a bit, but it's finally here. I made a second version of the Ancient Roman Themed Wine Making products. Now it fits for more modern time periods!  The large jug with wine looks the same for all types of wine, but when you hover over it will pop up the name of the wine. The smaller bottles have different sticker designs. For the cups I kept the clay style.

This new file conflicts with the original Ancient Roman style products, so DO NOT place both versions together at the same time when you play! 

You can read the full description of this mod in the ORIGINAL POST.
