Hi I have a question for your Napping Mattress would you ever make a bed frame for it ? I downloaded it and I love it I was just wondering if you would make a frame for it

Hello Anon! Thank you for your message. 🧡

At some point, I wanted to play around with the mod and create a variant that looked more like a bed but as many of my projects, it stayed an idea, haha.

In any case, I really like your suggestion but I’m super rusty with the game and my modding tools, so I’m not sure if I’ll ever get back to it. Sorry, anon! :(

In the meantime, you may already have seen this set of bed frames for toddlers at Aroundthesims3 which work with a mattress made for Arsil’s napping mat mod?

My stages of CC Creation

I really felt them since I had several projects on standby and none of them would actually work after my several attempts and I always got a more or less borked version of the failed attempts pictured above, not really knowing why and trying to follow helpful advice here and there.

Until I had to do everything over...I was only doing conversions but I felt like the most incompetent person in the world. All of you, dear CC Creators, are GIFTS!

During my testing, I also had the mesh look like a sea urchin, I did not take a picture because at the time I felt super depressed after going in game for the Nth time but now that I think about it, it was pretty funny...

I wanted that hair in my game so bad!! Sadly, can’t share the hair (Zen hair by Vivandang) because it’s against Viviandang’s TOUs. :(

Hopefully, at some point my other things will work and I’ll get back to posting stuff?!

Hi there! So, your lovely camera retexes made me think of something that has bothered me for a long time. EA made it so that (with UL installed I believe) the middle range camera from WA is placed in the inventory of every sim in the active world. Why, we'll never know. But it makes no sense to just add it to everyone plus inventory items frequently get stuck and can't be moved. I don't suppose it could be shut off by way of tuning, could it?

Hello Anon ! Thanks for your message. ♥

I know what you mean with the unnecessary addons into our Sims inventories!

Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure the addition of that camera must be scripted or even hardcoded for every sims to have them.

This is why I don’t think an ITUN or XML file controls the appearance of that camera since it’s not really associated to a situation or specific event we could tune the chance of happening in game (like the imaginary friend doll).

The only workaround to get rid of those cameras would be to mass delete every instances from all existing sims’ inventories in your current world.

This can be done with Nraas MasterController :

Click on City hall or a computer > Nraas > Mastercontroller > Town > Objects stats > Inventory

From there a menu named Flush pops up and you can see every item contained in sims inventories (there are also items found in family inventories, bookshelves, fridges, treasure chests...I’m pretty sure anything that has an inventory that can be opened).

From the list select the ChannonTec Outlaw SE camera (Objects.HobbiesSkills.CameraMedium) and Accept (tick mark button).

Another menu opens with just that item. You can reselect the camera or select the “(All)” option and Accept once more. A message pops up asking if you really want to permanently delete the item and since you really want to, just click Accept once more.

New spawning sims will still get that camera but it’s the only workaround I can think of to dispose of them.

It may not be the permanent solution you were looking for Anon, but I hope it helps a bit in managing your sims inventories!

Hello, I have a HUGE favor to ask you. Could you please make a separate download for the fig leaf outfit for males to be just a Bottom so we can add whatever Top we want to it? I know a lot of people (myself included) would love this option to add more diversity to our male Sims. Thank you.

Hello Anon!

Thanks for the ask. I was definitely ok to do this for you Anon and it made me plunge back into TSRW and other programs I wasn’t sure I knew how to use anymore, haha.

Anyways, here you are :

2to3 Figleaf outfit - separated bottom for YAM (SFS)

It has its own thumbnail and retains the same presets, morphs and categories I set for the original outfit.

Don’t hesitate to tell me if you see anything wonky in game. Hope you’ll enjoy!

Lullaby Hi I wanted to thank you for the pants and shorts from Anubis under the sun it’s great that we can mix and match to create the perfect outfit for our sims. I must confess that I been looking for cute skirts for my sims especially for my teen sims and it’s so hard to find. Then I saw some of the dresses from Anubis and started to wish the skirts were an stand alone item from the tops. If you have the time to separate bottoms from the top of the dresses I would be very happy and grateful.

Dear Anon, I am the worst possible person. I hate that I don’t even know when this message was sent but I’m pretty sure I’ve totally missed it for some time.

I’m not super visibly active online and even with current events work is still piling up and I have a hard time keeping up, but Anon, if you ever see this message and tell me which dresses you are interested in I could definitely see what I can do.

I’m sorry. I’m trash. D:

Face Slider - Narrow Face (teen addon)

Hello people!

It feels like a lifetime since I’ve been active on tumblr or with the Sims as whole. Hope you’re doing well in this unordinary times!

I’m here in answer to a message from @simtanicos who kindly asked if I had any plans to make the slider available for teens. And why not, I said!

So here you are, I might revisit it at some point and update it some more because there is a slight discolouration when using the slider on teen males but I just wanted to get it out there already as a motivation. Do tell me if it is also something you experience!

IMPORTANT NOTE: I’ve updated the link in the original post. This is also an update of my previous slider, so you will have to delete “blyss-CAS-Slider-NarrowFace_YAEMF.package” and get this new package “blyss-CAS-Slider-NarrowFace_YAET_MF.package” instead if you want it to work.

About

In the preview pictures above, you can see how it changes the shape of the face from 0 to 220, as an example.

The slider can only be dragged to the right (narrowing the face)

Category: Head and Ears > Cheeks

Age: Teens, Young Adults, Adults and Elders

Gender: Male and Female

More info

Created with MorphMaker and Milkshape 3D.

Enjoy!

And as always, don’t hesitate to tell me if you see anything wonky!

Face Slider - Narrow Face (YAE M/F)

Hey guys!

Just a little something before I go back to the shadows where I live.

There are hundreds and hundreds of amazing sliders already. However, whenever I want to make a slim-faced sim, the areas around the temples and cheekbones always seem too wide for me.

I was looking and looking but I couldn’t find a slider that only affected those areas around the cheeks and temples and not the whole head. So I made one and maybe you’ll find it useful?

Double Beds Against the Wall - EA clones & edits

Hello there, it’s been a while!

After being away from the Sims for some time because of life, I still wanted to plop down some things I was working on before my break.

One of those things is that little project to edit some double beds so they can be placed against a wall and still be fully usable by two sims.

It’s not a super elegant edit since each bed has a different version for Right and Left side entry. However, I’m not sure how to go around actually adding working route/footprint entries and not just editing existing ones. I’ve tried and failed, haha.

So yeah, I took the easy route.

I’ve done these edits for my own use but maybe some of you would be interested and won’t be too bothered having a million versions of the same beds?

About

In the preview pictures above, you can see what I mean when you see LEFT or RIGHT in the Catalog name of the bed

LEFT: Sims enter on the Left side of the bed when facing the bed

RIGHT: Sims enter on the Right side of the bed when facing the bed

4 beds available (for now?)

B.R.A.S.S Double Bed (BedDoubleBrass)

Base Game only required

2 versions: LEFT & RIGHT

LuxurLove Sleepset from Lothario Designs (BedDoubleLuxury)

Base Game only required

2 versions: LEFT & RIGHT

Suite Dreams Bed (BedDoubleMidCPop)

Showtime expansion pack required

2 versions: LEFT & RIGHT

Scholarly Slumber Double Bed by Standard Issue (BedDoubleDorm)

University expansion pack required

1 version only: LEFT (because of the drawer under the bed it made more sense to me)

Possible weirdness

I tested the beds with a Big Dog and it seems that pets won’t be able to use the side that is against the wall. I’m not sure if there is a route slot that I missed ?

More info

Those beds were cloned with S3OC and edited with S3PE

Use if you have the respective Expansion pack

Enjoy!

And as always, don’t hesitate to tell me if you see anything wonky!

I wish I could get the same results in game and in Blender. XD

I am in testing and the previews in CAS are awful, haha. I get so many shadows that shouldn’t be there. I’m not sure if and how I’ll fix them.

It would also be cool if instead of glass, there was a glow instead...I don’t know, I’m just testing stuff in Blender and in game. I’m not sure how far I will go with that idea, since I’ve modified my GraphicsCard file to get rid of the Glow/Glare and I think it affects the light emission for objects/accessories that have a Ghost shader when I tested before?

Why do I want to do that again?

[packagedblyss]

I’m having such a hard time with modding these days. All my projects are failing big time, haha. 

But finally, something worked! I don’t know I had this sudden urge to make this item. I think it’s because of all the Cronor pictures I’ve seen on my dash. *o*

Also, recolorable lenses...I had to clone Esmeralda’s glasses at MTS because I haven’t figured how to do it myself yet. I’ll look around some more...
