Hey everyone it seems there a malicious individual trying to hack the sims cc community again and fill it with malware you need to stay vigilant as a creator and a downloader so

i have some tips for both to stay safe while downloading:

1- sims cc file extension is always .Package never download anything that is .exe

2- do not auto unpack zip files and rar files into your mods folder directly, open each zip or rar individually check the file extensions and drag them to your mods folder one by one

3- the only mods that have a .ts4script extension are ones that affect gameplay or how the game works, understand that if you are downloading cas or bb items you shouldn't have a .ts4script file

4- if you are downloading gameplay mods that do have .ts4script make sure that A) the creator hasn't announced on their pages that its infected B) you are downloading from a link provided by the creator of the mods themselves not something off of google or a link you got sent and make sure dates of upload match dated of announcements

5- if the mod or cc creator has retired and hasn't posted for a while LOOK AT THE DATES OF THE UPLOAD if it has been "updated recently" after the creator has left the community its most likely re-uploaded by a hacker and infected

6- download mod gaurd by Twisted mexi and keep it updated and keep your windows defender or malware detector Program up to date and always running do not disable it

7- make sure everything you download comes from a direct link from the cc creator, in this day and age do not trust link shortners, adfly, linkverse, etc get the universal bypass extension and ublock extension to stay safe but genuinely NEVER CLICK ON THOSE no matter how much the creator reassures you its safe it. is. NOT.

8- this is more of a general saftey precaution but, create a system restore point weekly before you run the game with new mods that way if anything happens you could have a chance to restore your windows to an earlier date before you downloaded anything.

9- BACK UP YOUR SHIT im serious right now either weekly or monthly put your files somewhere safe like a usb a storage card a hard drive even an online cloud if you dont have any of the previous.

10- files you should back up are your media from games and media everything else, any mods, games saves, work files, passwords, saved bookmarks, any documents txt files word files pdfs, links you saved, brushes or actions for Photoshop if you have any, any digital bills or certificates if you have any, and keep a physical list of all programs you have installed and where you installed them from

11- turn on any 2 factor authentication and security measures for any account you have

12- google and firefox have the option to check your paswords and emails against any data leaks USE THIS FEATURE and change any leaked passwords

13- regularly check your logged in sessions to make sure all the logged in devices or computers are yours and log out any that aren't and any old devices or unused sessions do this for every website and app you have an account on if available

14- change your passwords often. I know this is a hassle i know its hard to come up with new passwords but changing your passwords every few months will help you against anything mention previously that wasn't detected.

15- and as a cc creator check your cc and the accounts you host cc on and its uplaod and update dates make sure nothing has been changed without your permission :(

16- generally try not to get swept up in the "i must get it" fever you do not need to "shop" for mods weekly or monthly you do not need to download everything by that one creator you do not need to download new cc everytime you want to make a sim, im guilty of this so i know how hard it is to resist but take a breath and think "do i want this or do i need it" before downloading.

These are prevention methods i cant claim they are 100% will prevent any hacking but its better to be safe than sorry and these do keep you safe so

Brought to you by someone who has had their laptop ruined and data leaked from downloading cc once upon a time

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.

As always, happy simming! - MiunaChan ♥

Sorry it's been so long, but I do come bearing gifts. Well, one anyway: I have overhauled my old Lighted Wall Signs. I've added a ton of recolours and updated a couple of the old ones. There are 40 swatches altogether. Please delete the old files or you'll end up with duplicates. Unfortunately this does mean you will need to place the signs again if you've been using the old ones.

You can find these signs in the Outdoor Lights and Wall Decoration categories for §135. The Get to Work expansion pack is required for the mesh. Thanks to all the creators of the Simlish fonts I used. Here's a list of some of them.

As always, please let me know if you spot any problems. I'm working on some more CC, so hopefully I'll get that finished up soon!

I know I don’t post much these days but I’m a little bit in love with this Art Deco house, which I built a while ago and have now modified with some curved walls. I just wish we could make half walls curved too...

[gfvsims]

Wow. It’s been a long, long, long time since I’ve posted anything here! *hangs head in shame*

Anyway... I really love this neighbourhood in Evergreen Harbor but didn’t like how there was only one house on this large corner lot when all the surrounding houses are so close together. My solution was to build three houses, replicating as closely as possible one of the other houses in the neighbourhood. I think they turned out pretty well!

Quarry Workers’ Cottages

2 bed/1 bath (per house)

Unfurnished

No CC

If you’d like to download this lot, my gallery ID is gfv74. Have fun!

[gfvsims]

Good to know!

New way to find *exact* package file causing errors!

I hope you are excited as me about this.

First a plug: I create maxis-match style cc, specializing in modular/customizable furniture. Find my stuff on my tumbler, instagram or in my subreddit r/ravasheen I post WIP and take requests/incorporate feedback etc!!

Now onto how to find broken cc… I think this should eliminate the 50/50 method in most cases! I extensively use sims 4 studio (S4S) to create my cc. I have known there were cheats you could use in it, but not all of them so I requested a list from the admins. As of the latest release (1/27/2020) you can now use the cheat ‘help’ which displays a list of all the available cheats in S4S. There are lots in here, but there is one cheat you can use to debug your cc:

resource.find:

Locates the package containing a particular instance id in the Mods folder. ex. “resource.find 123456789”. Can be useful when a lastException.txt contains a resource instance of a piece of broken content.

So how this would work is you would take your lastexception file spit out by the game and use https://lastexception.com/ to spit out what the errors are. You should get a resource number (or multiple) from this.

Open up sims 4 studio (ensure it is the latest version) and hit ctrl+shift+c, just like in sims, to pop up the cheat command window. Enter ’resource.find [enter resource number here]’ and it will tell you what package file it is.

Mind blown. This is a game changer for sure! One note, I don’t use mods like MCCC or anything so I am not sure if this works on broken mods. But it should at the very least work on cc.

For other cc creators out there… the cheat 'help’ lists all available cheats you can use in s4s. Most of them are geared towards creating cc.

UPDATE: NOW ALSO FOR TODDLERS!

Hey, hey, hey! Hope you’re all well. Sorry I haven’t posted anything in a really long time.

Anyway, I thought my Ikea mattresses would look cute on the toddler bed, so here they are! Thanks to Spirashun for separating the mattress from the bedframe. I'm pretty sure you’ll need his mesh, which you can find here.

DROPBOX | SIMFILESHARE

I’ve got some more toddler bedding in the works - I just need to do preview pics. The most tedious part of the process, IMO...

I have updated my Ikea mattresses again (hopefully for the last time!) so that they now work with the swatch design tool. They are also now on Veranka’s single mattress mesh, as Annachibi’s was unfortunately clipping slightly when used with some bed frames. They are shown here on Veranka’s Ikea Malm bed frame.

DROPBOX | SIMFILESHARE

Huge thanks to the creators of Sims 4 Studio for making such an awesome tool that just gets better and better with every update. <3

[gfvsims]

Whew. This set was a bit of a mission. It consists of 16 objects, mostly conversions from TS3 (both EA and my own meshes).

The wall lights are recolours of a mesh from Get to Work. I cloned the menu boards from a light, so they light up, but unfortunately the two large gas station signs don’t. (I haven’t got the energy to figure that out right now, but if I do, I’ll post an update.) The hanging signs come in three lengths and you may need to use MoveObjectsOn to place them. And although they’re not signs, I’ve also included my gas station pump recolours from TS3.

I think that’s all, but let me know if you have any questions or find any problems. As usual, feel free to recolour any of these objects. I think I’m going to take a break from signs now... ;)

DROPBOX | SIMFILESHARE

CREDITS: I used TSR Workshop and Sims 4 Studio to create these objects. A list of all the Simlish fonts I use can be found here.

[gfvsims]

I finally got around to finishing this today, so I thought I’d post it as my 1000 followers gift. Thank you all for sticking around, even though I don’t post that often. Have a (virtual, non-alcoholic) drink on me. :D

This is an edit of a Get To Work object, so I think you’ll need that EP for it to show up. If you want your Sims to actually buy Coke, you can use this mod. They will also be able to choose from the whole range of snacks when buying from this machine, not just soda.

Hope you enjoy using this!

DROPBOX | SIMFILESHARE

Made with Sims 4 Studio.

UPDATE: This object now includes English versions. If you only want one or the other, you can use Sims 4 Studio to delete the swatches you don’t want.

[gfvsims]

Well, I finally got something finished (you should see my WIP folder...)

This is a conversion of two of my TS3 meshes. Huge thanks to srslysims for her conversion tutorial and to the creators of Sims 4 Studio and TSR Workshop. The font used on the wall clock is Simlish Lengiza Regular.

Unfortunately, they aren’t functional, merely decorative. They each come in 10 colours, but feel free to recolour them if they aren’t to your liking. :)

DROPBOX | SIMFILESHARE

As always, please let me know if you find any problems. Thanks!

[gfvsims]

Hi! Sorry it’s been so long since I’ve shared anything. Rachel (who recently left the community) was kind enough to convert one of my meshes into TS4 (here), but her recolours weren’t in Simlish, unfortunately. So I grabbed my original textures from TS3, turned them into Simlish, and slapped them onto the mesh. You shouldn’t need the original for my recolours to show up, but please let me know if you run into any problems. They are pictured here on a dark wall because I don’t like how the shadows look, but I couldn’t figure out how to change them.

DROPBOX | SIMFILESHARE

Hope you’re all enjoying the holidays! Take care and stay out of trouble. :D

[gfvsims]

I’ve been wanting to recolour some curtains or blinds for a while. When plasticbox shared their Cabin Slats add-ons, I decided it was time. All four options are included (single and double tiles, closed and half-open), although only one is pictured. All 10 patterns were sourced from Spoonflower. As with all my recolours, these were made with the fantastic Sims 4 Studio.

DROPBOX | SIMFILESHARE

I hope you get some use out of these. If you come across any issues at all, please let me know. Have a great weekend!

[gfvsims]

Hi everyone! Hope you’re all having a splendid weekend.

I did some recolours of Saudade Sims conversion of HolySimoly’s single iron bedframe. The white one with the “brass” detailing is very similar to the bed I had when I was younger.

DROPBOX | SIMFILESHARE

Bedding shown is by Allisas, Saudade Sims, Snobbeh, UnobservantSims (sadly not available anymore please see this post) and me.

Thanks to HolySimoly, Saudade Sims, and the creators of Sims 4 Studio. :)
