FACE OVERLAYS UPDATE ✨

i don't know if i somehow overlooked acne when i claimed that my face masks don't cover other details, or maxis changed sort layers for acne, but in any case, it looks like most of my face overlays required an update!

UPDATED:

Adonis, Romeo - fixed acne compatibility

Sleepyhead, Silver Fox - added lower opacity swatches

Rue - fixed acne compatibility, added lower opacity swatches, fixed the unnecessarily big file size

Hugo - fixed acne compatibility, added lower opacity swatches. it doesn't have its own post, it was roughly made of someone's overlay specifically for and packed with this sim download; if you didn't use it, you don't need it, it's not that good

Squishy - fixed acne compatibility, added lower opacity swatches, uploaded for no reason. this is my oldest overlay edit that i've never published and won't make a post for it because it's ancient, but you can try it if you want to. it basically just makes face smoother without adding structure, and i use it to make children and teens with their soft faces

Heyyy Simmers♡

Today I'm bringing something different to you all. I did an override for one of the apartment hallways that's located in San Myshuno... 21 CHIC STREET in the Fashion District area ( : ♡ I wanted to create something that made sense within the district. Marble Floors & White Wall Panels screams Fashion in my opinion. Below are Before & After Pictures as well as pictures of how I created my Hallway for anyone that wants a reference on where to start. There's also an override for the elevator. Instead of the busted green elevator you will have a chic black elevator.

♡Before♡

♡ After ♡

♡ My Personal Hallway Decor ♡

You can Download this override for FREE on my Patreon!

Special Thanks to melbrewer367 for paving the way on creating this unique override. The little details go a long way. Really ties the game perfectly! Thank You!!!

☕ COFFEE & TEA OVERRIDE ☕

 I really love to go to coffee shops with my sims, to make hot tea or coffee in the morning, it adds some coziness and atmosphere to their pixel lives! 

 But alas, in the game, all hot drinks look the same (yes, yes, the same mug with some dark drink for all occasions):

   Not too long ago, I substituted cocoa with marshmallows and it turns out that this small substitution turned out to be a favorite of many! So I decided to redesign the appearance of absolutely all warming drinks (if I missed something - let me know in the comments!). To do this, I created new objects so that the appearance of each drink would be unique.

I was inspired to create this mod by the default mug replacement from the wonderful creator JariSimCC. His mugs look awesome and most importantly - they fit perfectly in the Sim's hand! He gave me permission to use his mash (i.e. he made the shape of the mug, I just drew textures for it). Be sure to check out his blog, he has a lot of cool CC content and different swaps!!! 

 Replaced all drinks from:

〇 tea brewer (Base Game)

〇 coffee maker (Base Game)

〇 electric kettle ("For Rent")

〇 espresso bar ("Get Together")

✧ DOWNLOAD ✧   

MAIN MOD: ~ Coffee&Tea Override ADDON: ~ Tuning Addon (increases the number of “sips” from 3 to 5, and adds 50 calories to coffee drinks)

 It is desirable not to put the files with texture replacement deeper than one subfolder in the Mods folder. Also, this mod will conflict with any mod that replaces these textures (I know for sure that A.I. Upscaled Food is not compatible with my mod).

Random Small Mods

Last update: 05/12/2024

🫂 Interact in Tight Spaces

Currently in testing phase

This mod allow Sims to interact in tighter spaces. It should work with most interactions that would normally require Sims to have some space around them (like hugging or kissing, and even slow dancing, no more going outside for that !).

The good part is that this mod is very simple and won't require updates, as it's only modifying the footprint of some invisible objects that are used to determine where Sims can interact (and make them move somewhere else if there is not enough room.)

Keep in mind that it might cause some clipping on objects around them for interactions with wide-ranging movements, but nothing really bad 🤗

📸 Photography Improvements

Currently in testing phase

This mod consists on three files, that provide improvement to the photography experience in-game:

DISL_Photography_InstantPhotoPhone.package: Adds an interaction from your Sim phone to take photos instantly instead of waiting for an interaction to run.

DISL_Photography_OverrideZoomSize.ts4scrpt: No matter the camera (or phone) used, you will always have access to the zoom slider and the different picture size when taking a photo.

PhotoCamera.ini: Replaces a file in your game folder (The Sims 4\Game\Bin\res) to extend the zooming and the pitch of the camera (thanks to TheSandwichMeat on Reddit for the tip!)

Tip : save a view while in TAB mode using CRTL + 6/7/8 or 9, and when in photo mode, click on 6/7/8 or 9 to get back to this view - it also works with easels when painting from reference !

⚠️ Requires the XML Injector

🚿 Shower at Sink

While conceiving mods to make life as a castaway more realistic, I lacked an alternative to bathtubs and showers that wouldn't look out of place and still consume water. So I created this mod that allow Sims to use sinks to perform a quick wash.

Sims won't autonomously do it if a shower or a bathtub is present on the lot (except for Slobs, Freegans and sims with Bad Manners) and it provides a tense buff for most of them. The interaction is not available is the Sim Hygyene level is high enough.

⚠️ Requires Seasons (as I use the shower in rain animation as a base) and Lot51 Core Library

Download: SimFileShare

💘 Less Randos on Cupid Corner

This mod limits the number of random Sims appearing on Cupid's Corner to focus mainly on the ones from your own save. You should have 5 Sims from your save (with a stronger chance of using played Sims) and 1 random sims (this sims should be from the Gallery if enabled).

As it's a little bit less than the initial number of potential matches, I reduced the cooldown to 8 hours.

I added an alternate version that removes the ridiculous fish and trophy poses, as they don't make sense in most cases.

Requires Lovestruck

Download: SimFileShare / SimFileShare (no Fish & Trophy poses)

🖼️ Background Replacements for Cupid Corner

A small overide that replaces the background used for randomly generated matches on Cupid Corner. I started that to remove the backgrounds related to Sixam & the Magic Realm, but I went overboard and finally decided to replace everything to feature lots & worlds I edited, and some lots from @simsontherope 😊

Requires Lovestruck

Download: SimFileShare

❤️‍🩹 Less Couples on Community Lots

Lovestruck features couples visiting a community lot, doing nothing but cuddling or romantic interactions, with two couples at a time, taking up space for more useful visitors using the lot's facilities.

With this mod, only one couple will visit at a time, and while they will still perform romantic interactions, they might do other stuff on the lot (ordering from the bar, playing games, doing spa activities, sing karaoke, etc.)

Requires Lovestruck

👔 No Outfit Change When Promoted

Currently in testing phase

If you are like me and you like to manually set-up the work attires of your sims, nothing is more frustrating than having to re-create the outfit after your sims get promoted.

I've taken my first steps into creating scripting mods to solve that ! This mod prevents work outfits to be modified when a Sim is promoted or demoted. Additionally, it provides some options to adjust the work outfit, available when clicking on a Sim under the Outfits > Work Outfit sub category:

Regenerate Work Outfit: recreate the work outfit(s) using the current level of the sims career(s)

Copy Accessories from Everyday: copies all the accessories (glasses, hats, jewelry, nails, rings, socks, bracelets...) from the 1st everyday outfit to the career outfit(s)

Modify in CAS: quick access to the sims.modify_career_outfit_in_cas cheat

Thanks to Scumbumbo for their work on the Outfit Tools that really helped me set this up, and Scripthoge for the injector that allow to replace existing scripts!

⚠️ Requires the XML Injector

Download: SimFileShare

↕️ Shorter teens

Currently in testing phase

This kind of mod has been done and redone, but it often comes with a lot of options and features, and I wanted to make something way simpler. Using a hidden height slider (modified from a slider initially by simmythesim I had for a long time) and a custom script, this mod makes all teenagers slightly shorter.

Their height is set every time they spawn in the world and when they grow up, so there is nothing you configure (you can use the cheat "set_height_all_sims" when first loading your save, but it's not even necessary).

Note that the height is not applied directly in CAS, you need to have your Sim loaded in live mode for the first time for it to apply.

Thanks to discussions on those topics for teaching be about scripts and sliders 🤗

🍵 More options for the Bubble Tea counter

Sims can now order (and other sims will automatically order) coffee, tea, cupcakes & croissants at the Bubble Tea counter.

Requires High School Years, Snowy Escape & Get Together

⚠️ Requires Lot51 Core Library

Download: SimFileShare

🎙️ Sims Sessions stage made usable

You can now use the Sims Sessions Stage outside the event when placed on a lot: place instruments on it and Sims are able to route to the instruments, and others can listen. Of course, as band are not a thing, no chance they play in sync, but at least that can be used for screenshots 😬 You can even set some light effects!

To find the stage, ad it's not available on the catalog, you can find it in a room on my gallery under EA ID Down-InSimsland (the room is named Sims Sessions Stage) or here as a tray file.

I got a couple of asks like “How to make my game look beautiful? I’m new to the Sims 2, any tips? Why is your game so bright? The grass so green? The water so reflective??” and so on. I decided to make a guide for new ts2 players that will help to answer all such questions. In general, I just gathered all the basic information about my musthave mods/defaults/cheats/photoshop editing/creating hood/downloading CC and more and more. So, if you’re new for the world of the Sims 2 and want to know how to improve your gameplay pictures, this “Starter pack” guide is what you need! All the info with links and screenshots is under the cut!

birdie ⁂ a reshade 4.7 preset by sforzinda

—

live mode previews have not been edited other than resizing and adding text. UI has been expertly painted over for the CAS screenshot. all screenshots are taken with softerhaze’s sunblind lighting overhaul. find before/after versions of the preview images here.

—

from expired film to photographs taken by someone who has never tried to focus a lens before, birdie is an amalgamation of 23 random and incomplete reshade presets, in a pitiful attempt to imitate a vaguely filmic look.

birdie is also a very hands-on preset. if this is your first time installing a reshade preset, please do both of us a favour and don’t start with birdie for now.

birdie is made with reshade 4.7.

this preset requires multiple shader packs to work.

please keep in mind that if you need to troubleshoot an issue with reshade, i am among the least knowledgeable persons to ask.

all the information you need, including requirements, are in the Official Birdie Strategy Guide. if you are against .pdf files on principle, same information can also be found under the read more. please go through at least one of them. download link can be found at the end of either.

BRITECHESTER ( UNIVERSITY ) REDUX ( & update )

Here we are ( again ) :D After 2 busy weeks of servers, files transfer and reorganization ( and so on ) as we said in a previous post, some of the expansions x11 update were not done since they need a deeper inside look ;) Britechester is one of them :)

We made a lot of work on everything, especially the urban package which has 342 files ... And we named it Britechester 2.0 because, well, why not since this is the second makeover of Britechester

The whole stuff has been tested by our famous testers @cupisims and @kunisprings ... and played 4 days long by the k-hippie team.

( for info, yes ... we got our diploma ) ;)

Next ( and LAST ) in queue : Del Sol Valley ( get famous ) and Glimmerbrook ( realm of magic ) and I think we'll be all good with the k-505 mods :D

We really hope you'll like this redux ! As we received some messages related to the last versions of our mods, here a picture of my own current k-505 folder :D in theory, it is accurate :)

Now, you should have those dates inside your own k-505 folder ...

And the download : HERE

As always, have fun !

Thank you!!!🙏

TODAY ... THE DAY OF THE K-MODS DIRECTX11 UPDATE :)

Hello everyone :)

Here we are, after 2 weeks of intensive hard work :D we finally made most of our Sims 4 creations compliant with the pesky direct x11 update ...

As we thought, it has nothing to do with square or non square pictures ( maxis make non square pictures since the Sims 2 ) as we read around the web. So, do not waste your time with this point.

The difference between before the directX11 and after the directX11 is that now, strictly x2 multiple .dds are required.

Mainly, the minimum sizes of images in the Sims are 128 and/or 256 ( except thumbnails and some tiny specular which are smaller ) ...

Based on this, before the directX11, we could make images based on multiple of 128 and/or 256 such as 768x768 - 1536x1536 and so on, which was convenient to render a better image without growing too high in size/weight. It was a kinda suitable tolerance which is accepted by almost all games !

But now, every image which is not a perfect x2 multiple brings the famous question mark on it.

Curiously, this statement does not apply to ... Walls ! 256 base multiple is still working ( 256x768 - 256x1024 - 256x1280 ) Illogical as fuck but well ... here we are ;)

The Worlds we didn't update are due for a complete redux, so you'll have to wait a bit for those :

Brindleton Bay

Del Sol Valley

Britechester

And of course, the one we never released until now : San Myshuno

WHAT WE UPDATED TOO ...

We still didn't update the fences of the k-606. It will take some time. Be patient ;)

As we're currently updating our website, we re-organized the whole k-303 stuff which was a real deal :D But everything related to the k-303 is now direct x11 updated :) ( such as Willow Creek trolleys )

We corrected a few files too. Easier since we had to check so many files :D And we added some new stuff ( such as Outdoor Retreat small replacements )

This update changes everything for the ones who made the x11 update. It changes almost nothing for those who didn't make the x11 update. It just updates our files ;)

Everything is not yet over and finished. We just made the essentials.

Our walls are working fine ( except the thumbnails ... As we didn't make those thumbnails, we search the issue )

Many of our creations are ok. But not everything indeed. We didn't yet check everything. That's a job at work :) So, you know, if you notice something, send us a message. A detailed one of course ...

THE UPDATES WERE MADE POSSIBLE BECAUSE 2 FANTASTIC TESTERS WHO MADE THE DIRECT X11 UPDATE HELPED US. THEY WERE OUR EYES ON THIS PROJECT :)

SweetCupitan : @cupisims

Mika : @kunisprings

THANKS !!! and Bravissimo :)

Cupids Corner Poses ❤️ Gallery & CAS

I adore the poses in the new dating app and thought some of them might work well as Gallery poses, too. (A few poses in the app are not new actually but repurposed from Styled looks/photography poses but I think they mix and match well together.)

So I tweaked/cleaned them up a little bit where needed and turned them into primary Gallery poses. There's a version with and without zoom (use only one version at a time).

I'm also including a version for CAS - assigned to the trait Art Lover. The file includes all 16 poses.

Previews below the cut.

Gallery Zoom (F1-F6; G1-G4; M1-M6):

Full body view:

Note: I'm posting this despite being aware of the current bug affecting the eyes which you can read about here. The poses seemed to work fine for the sims I tested them with but possible that some of them might be affected and also the result might look slightly different if EA ever fixes the issue.
