BEST IMMERSIVE SIMS 4 MAP REPLACEMENTS (DETAILED, ARTISTIC, AND HISTORICAL MAPS TO IMPROVE YOUR WORLDS!)
After playing the sims 4 for so many years, the standard maps start to get tiring to look at. And just like curating your loading screen and CAS backgrounds to fit the vibe of your gameplay, maps are a great way to customize your experience.
And for my historical girlies, I even have a few overrides for you! 👀
Some "minor" things from the Carlos Luna summary that have popped up in Junior Year:
the original Shrimp Party
Fig never going to class
Porter telling Fig she's good at rage
I assume these things got mentions in the summary specifically because they reappeared in Junior Year, so I combed through the video again looking for more "unnecessary" details...
General weirdly specific stuff:
we see Madam Silvaine's character card, even though she's a very minor NPC
the gang maybe went a bit too far while interrogating Biz
Gorgug was fed a flower by Telemaine
Ragh was hooking up with Fathethriel
Fathethriel helped Aelwyn trick the Bad Kids
Arianwen:
Arianwen taught at Hudol
frequent focus on Arianwen and her character art
Gilear:
Gilear couldn't become the guidance counsellor because Jawbone got that job
Gilear was living in Hallariel's garage
Gilear briefly died
Fabian was having visions of turning Gilear-esque in the future
we haven't seen Gilear in a while huh? everyone forgot him
Gilear was in the wheel well
"Fig's dads have the worst luck" (direct quote)
Gilear finds the sin armors, refuses to put on the kink armor
Gilear dies twice in Hell
Gilear has to stay out of the Forest of the Nightmare King because they can't keep spending their diamonds revivifying him
after saving the day, Gilear got a little proud in the pride armor and died
Those sure are a lot of minor details about a character who hasn't been in Junior Year since his brief appearance in episode 3, huh?
The languages of Hammerfell as described in my language-focused apocrypha, Languages of Tamriel, which fleshes out the linguistic situation of Tamriel in the Fourth Era.
Claiming those without sufficient technological or life extension access are proven criminals or non-citizens or are artificial simulations resembling life that do not need technological access or to have data recorded in relation to them. Criminals claiming their victims are merely automated. Automatics. Automated.
the girls who get it get it PLEASE I am begging for you to listen to this song for either of these three feral men in their mid-20s on a grief and rage fuelled revenge quest with a gun and a pack of smokes
I have some recolors of the Gagmia Simore "RefuseNik" Trash Compactor (using Shasta's version as a base) and a remapping as well, but that one is extra and not necessary for the recolors. The recolors are in the Cluedo palette as usual. I have a default option for the white ór grey color. Sorry for the long text and hopefully it's not too confusing!
I've given the recolors a bit of a white to match the recolors I did of the Ciao Time “Mondo Fuego” Gas Stove. So if you like these, check them out!
About the remapping: See the last two pictures for a comparison (both in the original textures and one of mine). Or read the lengthy explanation below if you want to get detailed!
I've changed the color of the handle and the bottom front to take the color of the left side of the top front, and the side parts of the handle (I don't know the terms for this people I'm sorry) to a metallic grey that was already in the texture for some reason. The top front was also changed because I couldn't stand the little white line visible in my recolor so I made it a little more visible when I couldn't get it to disappear without changing too much.
Other retextures of this trash compactor should work fine even with my remapping, most of them are just one single color so there won't be a lot of difference. (I've tested Shasta's recolors and Liz's white recolor and they are both fine)
This remapping will conflict with MaryLou's Counter-Friendly Appliances (only the appliances file) because they both edit the mesh. I've edited their file to include my changes so download that one if you use this mod and let it overwrite the original file. (I know it's against their policy, but they've been inactive for 14 years so I hope it's OK.) Choose one!
And then the retextures themselves, all 10 Cluedo colors as stated, and I have a default option if you want to replace the metallic original texture with a white or grey one from me (choose only one). UV map edit is not required.
