New Lot Traits : Use Residential Rentals shared areas as Community Lots

Hi everyone ! 🤗

Over the last few days, I've been working on a project that seemed necessary to bring a little life to some of the residential lots I've built: using shared spaces as community lots, to give my residents access to a bar, cafe, or whatever, without going through a loading screen, while bringing a little more life to these spaces.

I know that LittleMsSam had already made a mod allowing you to always have NPCs on any lot, but what I also needed here was to have visitors, who would use the objects placed on the lot as expected. To this end, I created 5 traits:

🍵 Brewed Delights: the lot functions as a café (if there's an Espresso Bar) or a Thrift Shop (if there's a Bubble Tea stand). It's open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

🍕 Meals on the Go: the lot automatically hires stall vendors (up to 2 stalls) and/or a cafeteria server (using University's Cafeteria Station) for lunch and dinner.

🍸 Drinking Spot: the lot functions as a bar (if there is a bar in the shared spaces). This also includes karaoke if a machine is present. It's open from 2 p.m. to 2 a.m.

🧩 Fun Zone: the lot automatically brings in children and teenagers to enjoy the on-site facilities (outdoor or indoor games) from 10am (weekends)/5pm (weekdays) to 9pm.

🏥 Care Facility: this lot takes car of its tenants by offering them all the comforts they need on a daily basis: a catering services (using University's Cafeteria Station), care and visits from the loved ones.

Additional stuff :

The traits are located under lot challenges. You need to configure them for each unit separately.

Those traits work on Residential Rentals and community lots. I had to modify all autonomies so that visitors only use objects in the shared areas.

Among visitors, neighbors living on the same lot are used to populate the shared areas, in addition to the other tasks they normally perform.

If the lot trait Private Dwelling is used, only NPCs will be included, and visitors will be limited to Sims from other units. I use this feature, for example, to have a bar in my hotel!

In the current configuration, I favor played sims for visitor groups (not for single visitors). I'll have to see how I adapt this, as it's the most relevant in my way of playing, but I could change this setting.

A Janitor NPC is included except for the Fun Zone, to clean up any leftover glasses and plates at the end of service. I wasn't able to limit them to the shared areas entirely, so they may also clean your active family's home.

The mod should require some expansions packs, at least For Rent, Get to Work, Get Together, University, High School Years.

At the moment, translated in french and spanish only (it's very limited in terms of strings used)

And if by chance you try it, don't hesitate to provide me with all the feedback you've got 😊

More information on the few altered tunings after the cut

List of altered tunings : I tried to limit myself, and in the future I plan to use the Lot 51 Core Library for most of them, but it seems at the moment the injection of static commodities doesn't work that well :

eat_to_clean_from_sit: to make visitors' dirty plates and glasses disappear like on a community lot - otherwise your lots would be a mess after 1 day! It doesn't work 100%, but it helps. As a side effect, this effect also applies to your sims if you have the lot trait, which means less dishes!

bubbleTeaCounter_PushOrderDrink_Autonomous & bubbleTeaCounter_PushOrderFood_Autonomous: to add the static commodity that makes visitors route to them when they are spawned on the lot. I doubt other mods affect those, so it should be ok!

School Tweaks - M02: Active Classes V1.1 (Updated) A first version of the active classes module that enables using the phone during class. I decided to release these in chunks so you don't have to wait so long and I can gather some feedback about the system in the meantime. More interactions will be added over time. This mod enables some phone interactions during class and adds a new system for not paying attention. The script file was updated too and the mod now requires the XML Injector!

[jlunicornboy]

School Tweaks - M01: Locker Overhaul V1.0 (New) The first part of my school tweaks that overhauls the lockers that came with highschool years to add an inventory to them and add some new interactions! List of new interactions: - Put Stuff into Locker - Get Stuff from Locker - Assign Locker to Sim (works on NPCs as well!) - Change Outfit - Purchase School Supplies I also tweaked the prom invitations through the locker so if the locker is claimed you can only ask the person who the locker belongs to. The Sim Picker is still available on unclaimed lockers though!

New Random Small Mod

Choose Leftover Instead of letting Sims randomly choose a Leftover (they love cakes & cupcakes…), a pop up menu will appear where you can choose the leftover your Sim should eat.

Quartz Eyes V2 Edited - Werewolf Addon

I finally finished the new eye set for werewolves. I had to redo the packages several times but now it's finally working.

I created 17 recolors for the default swatches. Additionally you can add the addon file which will add another 17 non default swatches on top of that. The addon file contains an additonal red eye color and black/white screla options for the colors included in the default set.

Only a few of the original textures glowed in game. I decided to add an emission map to all of the swatches so they now all glow in the dark.

Mod Situation - Patch 1.89.214

The following mods will for sure require major updating:

• Delayed Invitations • Phone Call Overhaul • Run, Don’t Jog • Sim Spawn Overhaul

The updates for these mods will be coming later this week, and I recommend removing them from your Mods folder in the meanwhile.

This doesn’t include updates for the new Werewolves pack (like adding support to the new world) since I don’t have access to the pack’s files quite yet.

Other mods are probably ok, but I’ll let you guys know if I find that anything else broke!

The Sims 4 Mod: Travel to Special Lots

Want to visit the Hospital, Police Station or Science Lab when you’re not at work? Well now you can! This mod adds three new options to the “Travel” tab of the phone that allow you to travel to those three lots!

You’ll need to enable script mods in the options menu, otherwise this won’t work!

New tiny mod - Errands Tweak

While playing with Cottage Living I got sick of clicking through the social menus to track down the errand interactions so I decided to move them all to a new pie menu.

I reused the in game strings so it should automatically be translated. It will conflict with all mods that override the errand interactions. It can be downloaded on the Gameplay Tweaks page on my website that I've redone here

DELAYED INVITATIONS

DOWNLOAD: GOOGLE DRIVE / PATREON

Originally planned as an add-on for Phone Call Overhaul, this mod grew so much in scope that it turned into it’s own thing.

What it does is add more realism to (almost) every phone call in the game, by giving your sims some time between receiving the phone call and the actual situation that it triggers.

It's easier to show than tell, so let me try and sell the idea:

Don’t you think it’s weird how sims will invite you to go somewhere and expect you to be just ready to go? Like, at least give me an hour to take a shower or something.

Oh, this sim’s throwing a birthday party! The party’s right now? What? At least give me time to buy a gift!

Of course I wanna go on a date with you, but can it be like... tomorrow?

And lastly, for those dastardly sims who don’t have the patience for these stupid phone calls, you have an option too! People don’t usually like a rude sim, though.

I think you get the idea! For more details, please check under the cut.

IMPORTANT

The mod includes certain features from Phone Call Overhaul: your sims still won't receive phone calls while sleeping, but they will get them if they're just on low hygiene, for example. They also won't receive most calls if they're on vacation.

KNOWN ISSUES/LIMITATIONS

Festival invitations, as well as invitations for the Open Mic and Meet A Celebrity events, are unaffected by the mod. Trying to add a delay to them caused issues and I couldn't find a way to fix it. For now, they work like they do in vanilla.

Mean, Evil and Bad-Mannered sims are the only ones with extra response options for now. Trying to add multiple trait-based options didn't work properly, so I chose to stick to the mean options cause they have the most personality and are the most impactful in terms of gameplay.

For now, rejecting the follow-up phone call (the one that actually triggers the event) doesn't produce any response from the caller. This is a limitation from the game itself, but I'll try to see if I can work around it to add even more flavor and realism to the mod.

PLANNED FEATURES

- Adding buffs to sims after they accept/reject a phone call, both for flavor and also for keeping track of what you have scheduled;

- Adding more variety to certain phone calls, specifically the ones that are dialog-only - e.g. the Inheritance Money call. The result for most of those is always the same, and I wanna add a little more randomness to spice up the gameplay.

- Adding more phone calls! It's such a great feature that is just poorly implemented and underused, and I want to explore it as much as I can.

TRANSLATION

This mod adds a lot of new strings, as well as changes to some existing ones. As usual, I included strings for English and Portuguese, and any other languages will default to English.

If you wish to translate the mod, please send me the translated files via e-mail at lotharihoe@gmail.com, and I will include your translation in the mod with due credits (and eternal gratitude).

Chicken Breed Pack #1

I LOVE Cottage Living.  I was a bit bummed though when I saw the limited breeds of some of the animals.  Some other modders have begun with new breeds for cows (and I may join them at some point), but I haven’t seen any mods for new chicken breeds yet.

BEHOLD, Chicken Breed Pack 1.  This is a freebie (because I just cannot  stop giving away my best content).  This pack contains four new breeds of chicken, for a total of 8 new chickens (each has a Hen and Rooster variant).

Do you want a Chicken Breed Pack 2? Comment and let me know.  Bonus points if you tell me which breeds you want.

This mod has 2 dependencies.  One (which should be obvious) is Cottage Living.  The other allows for multiple custom animal mods to exist without overwriting each other.  You can download it here:

https://srslysims.net/purchase_custom_animals/

Without further ado, here’s the pack, public and free for everybody.

Orjánic

Orjánic is a 78 piece country living collection by @felixandresims & @harrie-cc, that aims to get you living your best barn life…well it won’t quite get you all the way there, you’ll need part two of the set to achieve that enlightened status! That’s right this is only part one of the set, there will be a part two following next month!

This first release focuses on the foundations of building your barn in the country. Including: walls, floors, windows, doors, spandrels, columns and so much more! This set was initially planned to be the usual one month collab, but the list of essential items required to achieve the look just kept getting longer, so this two part set was born! 

 Highlights of the set include: the new functional spandrels and columns that allow you to achieve peak beam status, all the barn doors for the interior and exterior, plus the suite of modern timber frame windows that include slanted windows so you can build up into your roofs! Of course all the wood tones match previous sets, but there is also a new oak wood tone to round out the collection. 

All items are base game compatible.

You can find the majority of the objects in the build/buy catalogue by searching ORJANIC, but as this is a build set there are a few items that won’t show up in your general search. These include: 6 wallpapers, 1 floor, 4 roofs, 1 column, 2 spandrels and 1 foundation. 

Early access now available on Patreon

Public release follows on 6th September 2021
