ETA: @megamassikalove uploaded resources to @mdpthatsme's TS4 conversion archive, so I'll try to convert the outfits (or at least, some of them). Thanks a lot!

If anyone is still interested in converting, I'll happily leave it to you. :)

I made a wish at GoS

If anyone is interested, I made a wish at GoS - I'm looking for somebody willing to convert TS4 Life & Death ghost outfits and maybe the black dress with elbows-long sleeves listed as the first dress in @mdpthatsme's TS4 conversion archive.

I'll also be eyeing TS4 Enchanted by nature fairy outfits conversions once the pack gets released. 👀

Hi Meduza, I recently discovered your mod called "Bending Duel." I know you don't accept requests, but I just wanted to know if you've ever thought about making that same mod but with a zombie theme, where the Sims grab sticks and stuff to defend themselves from zombies. I was afraid to ask because I don't speak English, but you're really good at making mods, and I love them, so I decided to suggest this idea.

Hi!

Thanks for suggestion. Frankly, I don't play zombies that much, so right now I'm not interested. Sorry. :(

As for your English - if you've written this question, your English is good! And if you've used a translator - that's what translators are for. :) English is not my first language either, so who I am to judge?

Bunch of edits and clothing recolor

riekus13's recolors of Cassandre's White-Living Curtains visible from both sides

I made a simple TXTM edit of riekus13's recolors of Cassandre's White-Living Curtains to make the mesh be rendered from both sides.

I changed filenames. Replace riekus13's recolors with my edit. Mesh remains unchanged, but it is included.

Taroo's/Tarox' medieval sink split into two recolorable subsets

I also edited Taroo's/Tarox' medieval sink mesh to split it into two recolorable subsets: sink (bowl) and table (table and jug).

As any existing recolors will only work for the bowl part, I edited @eulaliasims' beautiful recolors to be enabled for both subsets.

I changed filenames. Replace taroo's mesh and @eulaliasims' recolors with my edit.

Taroo's/Tarox' medieval candle lamp

Next, I have edited Taroo's/Tarox' hanging lamp to swap bulbs for actual fire on candles. I replaced candle texture too, because it looked too plastic for me. Now candles have white-yellowish color.

Furthermore, I have made two recolors of candles: white and yellow:

That's not all! I also made a "BV" version of my edit. It uses "lightingceilingantlermountain_light", which has warmer, more candlelike light. For reference see pictures in this tutorial. This version requires BV. Choose one version!

I changed filenames. Replace taroo's mesh with my edit.

👓 long post, read carefully

✂️ This Master Meshes Post is separated in two post because it's was to much for Tumblr. The hair, genetics, accessories and make-up are on the other post.

These custom contents were used in the creation of the sims. They are therefore necessary for the downloaded sims to display correctly. However, unlike the lot building content, not all of these contents are essential for the sims to work. Any other content will cause a difference in the display of the affected sim.

⚠️ If you don't want to download the entire TS1 Sims neighborhood, and just would like to pick and choose a sim in particular, the CC needed for that sims is listed on his/her family post.

🔗 All links provided on my blog lead to the original presentation and download pages of the presented content. If an information is missing (creator, etc..) it because it's nowhere to be find.

🧤 Most of the default replacement has a link to the item replaced in the SIMS 2 Default Database + a link to the replacement I used + a link to the custom version of the item

🔵 In BLUE is the content MY SIMS use 🟣 In PINK is a highly recommended CC but not strictly necessary 🟠 (mesh needed) means that you have to download the mesh from the original creation

Absent-Minded 3T2 Traits Pack!

Part 1 of a new out-of-nowhere series, releasing trait mods in wonderfully curated selections... by Trait!

I love this trait. Why can't we have stupid and smart Sims? Where was the SIXTH personality scale?... Dumb vs. Focused? etc... Anyways.. I fleshed out this trait for you all and made compatible versions.

Be sure to check out @noodlebelli 's tracker to grab the other trait mods for this trait.

Your first selection is called "Where Am I?"

Housekeeping

This mod was inspired by the Sims 3 Absent minded trait page on Sims wiki. It describes that Absent-Minded Sims in the Sims 3 will "action cancel" randomly, and "forget" what you told them to do!

I have made this mod compatible with several other trait mods - namely the showering and bath autonomy mods for the Hydrophobic trait, Slobs pee in Showers, and Brooding Sims take longer showers/baths.

Also for Eco-Friendly. All these mods are added into a mod by Meduza: https://www.tumblr.com/jellymeduza/693672582333022208/edits-of-some-mods

and here: https://www.tumblr.com/jellymeduza/650441192122777600/ts3-useable-snowboard-half-pipe-i-thought-it

I added this trait effect that I am about to tell you about.

But essentially, any trait mods to do with showering and baths, I got you covered.

Another version of this mod is compatible with PicknMix's Shared Showering, specifically the Temperature Enable. If you don't use Shared Showering, download the normal version.

THE MOD

All this mod does is gives a 10 percent chance that a Sim with the Absent minded trait will action cancel with, autonomously or otherwise, taking a bath and taking a shower. They will walk into the bathroom, idle very briefly, do a confused animation (The OFB one), and then maybe another animation such as a shrug, and then leave the room, without doing what you told them to do.

I have also added, for my own game, when a Sim goes to sleep, but I will go easy on y'all at first...

So it makes these Sims a bit more challenging to play and stays true to ts3 traits.

_________________________________________

Selection 2: Re-upload of Crosswords Are Hard for Absent-Minded, Genius, and Bookwork Sims. Skill speed changes depending on trait. Nothing was changed with this update.

_____________________________________

Selection 3: An edit of @gummilutt Chess Gives Science Enthusiasm with trait effects. Skill speed changes based on trait. Absent Minded Sims learn Logic slower from chess. Geniuses faster.

Requires Easy Inventory Check for ALL THREE MODS... and traits of course. Only download ONE Absent Minded "Where Am I" mods. One of them works with PicknMix's shared showering!

Remember to delete Meduza’s plug-ins and/or load my mods last

Happy Simming!

Hi. I can't remember if this has been asked before. Is it possible for the Joker toxin trick to be spread autonomously like a zombie plague?

Hi!

There's no autonomous version of my turn into Joker mod currently. I'm not a big fan of autonomous interactions if they have big impact on Sims' lives.

It's time to visit the Bigfoot family. Let's put my Bigfoot mod to use. 😉

The head of the family is Benedict Bigfoot. He moved to the forest near Dunceville from the mountains. At first he shared a hut with his friend, Wikwor Wolfhund. Later he moved out and focused on his butcher shop, where he sells carcasses of hunted animals. His aspiration is popularity and he has many friends: Narcissus Vegetable, Łucja (Lucy) Magic, Gargamel Magic, Francesco Monk and Wikwor Wulfhund. Since he is a Bigfoot spawned by the game, he has maxed skills and badges. His personality is 5/8/6/3/3.

As Benedict approached the middle of his adult life, he started to worry about not having any offspring. Bigfeet are scarce and usually don't live in big communities, so it was diffucult for him to find a female partner. However, during one of his hunting trips he got lucky and met Aldona on the mountainside. The female Bigfoot was barely of age, but two Bigfeet enjoyed each other's company. Soon Aldona moved in and got pregnant. Benedict finally felt fulfilled.

The bliss did not last long - Aldona gave birth to four little Bigfeet: Adrianna, Bonifacy, Czesław and Dagmara. While Benedict was proud to increase the population of his species, Aldona was overwhelmed.

The burden of keeping an eye of the tiny kindergarten fell on Aldona as Benedict is busy hunting and running the shop. Thus she doesn't have much time for herself and unlike other Bigfeet, she doesn't have much skills. Additionally, the age gap between her and her partner leads to numerous misunderstandings. She also finds it difficult to live so close to human and elf settlements and she hasn't made any friends yet. All in all, Aldona is unhappy with her current predicament. Her aspiration is pleasure and her personality is 3/5/3/7/7.

Adrianna (the sitting toddler) is the eldest of the quadruplets. Her personality is 5/8/6/10/3, heavy-sleeper, loves the cold.

Bonifacy (the toddler on the right side) is the second child. His personality is 5/7/3/9/4, evil, heavy-sleeper.

Czesław (the toddler most to the left) is the third child. His personality is 10/8/6/3/8, brave, good.

Dagmara (the crawling toddler second from the left to right) is the youngest one of the bunch. Her personality is 3/5/9/10/8, hates the outdoors (weird trait for a Bigfoot, but OK 🤷‍♀️), heavy-sleeper.

I didn't plan for the couple to have quadruplets. When they were born, I decided 'Fine, let's call them ABCD' 🤣

Next: the elf-fairy settlement 🧚‍♀️🧝‍♀️

TS4 Romanian Folk Vest

Today I come to offer you a conversion of TS4 Romanian Folk Vest. I actually found some time for creating during the Easter break. :)

The vest is set for everyday and formal. It only has fat morph - I didn't have the patience to add preg morph.

It's available for children and older Sims. Adult recolors are enabled for elders as well. Teens and children are slaved to adults recolors.

The vest comes is five recolors (left to right): Mutenia, Banat, Moldova (Obviously I know Moldova is not Romania, but I think the vest was meant to represent Romanian folk attire? 😬), Oltenia and Transylvania

The vest is top-only, just like original TS4 mesh.

For you school project mod, does it conflict with heathensimmers edit of dill's homework mod? I never seem to get a school project even though I've increased the likely hood to %50.

Hi!

If you meant @lilbabydilljr's Homework Sometimes, then yes, it conflicts with my homework mod (and edits of that mod conflict too).

As I said earlier, I don't want to make more compatibility plug-ins for my mod, but everyone is free to make one. :)

[jellymeduza]

Hi! I’m so excited about your school project mod, thank you so much for your beautiful work!

Unfortunately the mod seems to throw an error when my sims try to spawn their homework after school:( the error is bad gosub tree number (here’s the log)

I have easy lot check, easy inventory check, smarter ep check and other mods (besides inteen) that “What caused this?” suggests to download in case of this error

I also have simler90's Homework Assignment Mod (Placement Version) and Homework Help Mod, smonaff's Fall Asleep While Doing Homework and epi’s pencils and crayons by color traits with the necessary compatibility patches of course

Could you please help me with this issue? I really don’t want to just delete your mod and live without it:((

Hi!

I would appear that you have deleted simler90's Homework Assignment Mod (Placement Version) from your downloads folder. This mod should remain in your downloads, but my mod and the compatibility plug-in should load after it.

[jellymeduza]

Hi Meduza, I'm not sure if you're the same person as the one I'm looking for but I figured I'd ask. This person posted a sim on Gos about 100 years ago :). His name was Aiden Kingsly. I am hoping you are they. And that you still have him. He was a gorgeous sim and since I've started playing the game again I would love to have him again. Thanks for your time.

Hi!

No, I haven't uploaded such a sim at GoS. All my Sims downloads (including pixel people) are mirrored on this blog.

Sorry.

Btw. do I share the username with the person who uploaded that Sim? Are there two Meduzas at GoS?

January, February and March 2025 updates

Time for new summary of most recent updates. Luckily, this time there isn't plenty of them.

10th of February 2025: frog curse - fixed an issue that made pescado’s clothingtool throw errors when used alongside my mod.

16th of February 2025: Gummilutt’s Laundry Mod Add-On edited - fixed issues with Meduza_GummiDressersRequireLaundry_PregLaundry versions throwing errors.

23rd of March 2025: juicer tweaks compilation, Rebecah’s juicer with tweaks compilation - fixed an issue with pie menu strings for recipies not being displayed with the global mod and added @bigeyedgal‘s Spanish translation to both the mod and Beck's object

23rd of March 2025: more drinks from bar - added compatibility plug-in for Cyjon’s Fewer Drunks: zz_Meduza_MoreTypesOfDrinksFromBars_Cyjon_FewerDrunks_TeensNoAuto (if you don’t want teens to make drinks autonomously) and zz_Meduza_MoreTypesOfDrinksFromBars_Cyjon_FewerDrunks (if you don’t care about teenage drinking). Make them load after my mod and Cyjon’s mod. Keep in mind this plug-in requires Smarter EP Check.

29th of March 2025: school project - added compatibility patches for Cyjon’s Harder Homework, kestrellyn’s Ask Anyone For Homework Help, @midgethetree’s No Buses, Jenflower’s Homework Sometimes and MogHughson’s Desk Locator. Please read installation instructions (in the main post).

1500 followers gift

I doubt anyone recalls that I said I'd make for 1500 followers gift the option that loses race for 1250 followers gift.

Turns out I actually have 1600 followers right now (Oopsie), so here it is: a lot of my creation - Green library.

I'm sure I'm gonna lose some followers when they see this magnifficent upload. 😉

Something for your mind, your body, and your soul… This library offers a fine selection of books. When your eyes grow tired, relax on the rooftop garden. And if your body is demanding attention, visit the basement for a workout session!

That's right - the library is complemented by a garden of the rooftop and a gym in the basement.

The library has a cloakroom, a computer room and a main library section. There are toilets on the ground level and showers in the basement. There's also a cash register in case you want to turn the library into a bookstore.

The gym is divided into four sections: ballet, legs and chest, cardio and punching bag.

The library is nearly CC-free, save for pre-order M&G maroccan planter and bench.

I avoided IKEA items as LC doesn't include IKEA SP.

This lot features a lot of M&G items, so I imagine it won't work for Mac users.

I've never shared a lot, but I followed anti-super duper hug bug guides and tips on removing Sims references.

I added an English name and description of the lot, but I'm not sure if it's displayed - my game isn't in English.

1250 followers gift - take a peek at my medievalish fantasy game (part 12/?)

part 1 | part 2 | part 3 | part 4 | part 5 | part 6 | part 7 | part 8 | part 9 | part 10 | part 11

At last we visit a family that lives outside the city - the Wolfhund family.

As you have probably guessed, it's a werewolf family.

Wikwor is Betty's husband and father of their twins: Mieczysław and Valeria. He's part of his white wolf Viola's pack. His personality is 5/8/6/3/3, ambitious, animal-lover, brave, loves to swim. He's got 4 points of cleaning skill and 10 points of body skill. His aspiration is family.

Wikwor lived for some time with his friend, Benedict Bigfoot when they were bachelors. Later Benedict moved to live alone and look for a lady, but they are still neighbours.

Being a werewolf, Wikwor made friend with Viola, a white wolf, which he adopted.

During one of his trips to the city, he met Betty. Her wits made him fall for her and they started dating. Betty was fascinated with his lycantropy and she begged him to turn her into a werewolf too. The man reluctantly agreed.

Not being allowed to live within city walls anymore due to her lycantropy, the woman moved in and soon the couple married. Only then Wikwor learnt his wife is actually the mayor of the Dunceville. Consequently, the mayor isn't allowed to live in the city and Betty has to travel every day to the townhouse and return in the afternoon. 😅 Luckily, she doesn't mind living a peaceful live outside the city and wearing poorer clothing.

Seriously though, only when Betty stopped being a townie as she moved in to live with Wikwor, I found out she's a mayor. 🤣

Thanks to her job, Betty has many friends, one of them being Arthur Claudius. She also possess a lot of skills: 10 points of charisma, 10 points of body skill, 10 points of logic and 7 points of creativity. Her personality is 9/2/6/3/5, brooding, loves the heat, lucky, workaholic. She has a silver sewing badge as well. Her aspiration is knowledge.

And in Betty's case curiosity nearly killed a werewolf as she wanted to be scared by a ghost and when she finally got scared, she had a heart attack. 🤦‍♀️ Wikwor had to beg Death to spare his slightly unhinged wife.

Mieczysław (the boy held by Betty) is the elder twin. His personality is 7/10/8/6/2.

Valeria's (the girl's held by Wikwor) personality is 4/4/8/5/4.

Viola is a genius, hyper, independent, aggresive and mid between neat and finicky wolf. She has three puppies with a black wolf called Tofik: Have (male), Paw (female) and Spade (female). The puppies all look the same and share their mother's personality. 😕

Next: the Bigfoot family

Hi, Meduza! Thank you for your wonderful mods. Quick question: does the School Project Project require FT or AL? I play on a Mac, and while the enthusiasm gain aspect makes me think a pack I don't have is involved, I thought I'd ask. Thank you again.

Hi! It shouldn't require FT - I added an EP check before every enthusiasm related node, so it should be skipped if you don't have FT.

Please let me know if it doesn't work for you. :)

[jellymeduza]

The School Project Project

I couldn't stop myself from giving this mod such an awful title. xD

This mod gives children and teenagers a chance of bringing home school project instead of standard written homework.

There are in total 6 school projects converted from TS4 Parenthood: bridge, castle, electricity, rocket, solar system and volcano.

Kids have a chance of bringing the following three projects: castle, solar system and volcano. Teens have a chance of bringing the following three projects: bridge, electricity and rocket.

Chance of bringing a school project is by default 20%, but it can be tuned in BCON "Tuning - School Project" of group 0x7FBE051B and instance 0x0000200A.

School projects take longer to finish (by about 1/4 longer), but are more rewarding, letting your Sims gain some skills, hobby enthusiasm and even badges, making school actually useful. 😉

Bridge makes your Sims gain mechanical skill and tinkering enthusiasm.

Castle makes your Sims gain creativity skill and arts enthusiasm.

Electricity makes your Sims gain mechanical skill, robotery badge and tinkering entusiasm.

Rocket makes your Sims gain logic skill, toy making badge and science enthusiasm.

Solar system makes your Sims gain mechanical skill and science enthusiasm.

Volcano makes your Sims gain logic skill and nature enthusiasm.

Skill, badge and enthusiasm gain isn't that great, but it's there.

You won't see the skill meter above your Sim's head, because apparently there can be only one meter at a time.

Sims have a chance of making school project of one of three qualities: poor, good and excellent.

The outcome depends on skill and badge corresponding the project, getting help with school project (but it only counts if it happens during quality check) and traits:

clumsy Sims will always get penalty,

technophobes wil get penalty when working on electricity and rocket,

'can't stand art' Sims will get penalty when working on castle,

geniuses and perfectionists will always get bonus,

handy Sims will get bonus when working on electricity and rocket,

artistic and avant garde Sims will get bonus when working on castle.

Bonuses do not stack. Penalties also don't. So if your Sim is genius and perfectionist, they will get only one bonus. Bonus and penalty can cancel each other out.

When making castle, your SIms will hold a crayon instead of a pencil. While working on the electricity project Sims will hold a screwdriver. In case of other projects Sims will still use pencil, because I haven't decided what else would fit. 😅

If you use smonaff’s Fall Asleep While Doing Homework, Sims who have fallen asleep can't make a project of excellent quality - it will be good at best.

Additionally, if you have @earlypleasantview's conversions of TS4 School Projects in your downloads, upon completion of a project a project will be placed in your Sim's inventory. The only exception is the castle as various qualities are recolors of the object, so you will have to manually set the recolor you want it to be.

This mod is not compatible with Cyjon's Harder Homework. There's no compatibility plug-in as of now. Maybe I'll make one later, but right now I'm dead inside after converting 40 meshes. 😫

Some of the mods for that I've made compatibility plug-ins are already incompatible, so:

DO NOT use my edit of Jenflower's Homework sometimes and plug-in for MidgeTheTree's No Buses at the same time - these two mods are incompatible.

DO NOT use my edit of Jenflower's Homework sometimes and my edit of Cyjon's Harder Homework and plug-in for simler90's Homework Assignment Mod (Full version) - these three mods are incompatible.

DO NOT use my edit of kestrellyn's Ask Anyone For Homework Help and plug-in for simler90's Homework Help Mod at the same time - these two mods are incompatible.

DO NOT use my plug-in for simler90's Homework Assignment Mod (both Full and Placement versions) and my plug-in for MogHughson's Desk Locator - these mods are incompatible.

I'm not planning on making any more compatibility plug-ins for this mod. I can safely assume 16 plug-ins is enough.

Known bugs

When project's model changes Sims arms are bent under weird angle for a moment.

Thanks to @lordcrumps for supplying me with meshes and textures for school projects from TS4 Parenthood!
