✈️ ACNH Airport Set ✈️

57 items | Sims 4, base game compatible, some extra swatches added by me 💗

All the items you'll need to recreate the Airport from ACNH, Dodo Airlines, in your TS4 game. Most items came with only 1 swatch each. Some items I have added extra swatches for. *The Monstera Plant that goes inside the airport has already been made in part 2 of the Paradise Planning set. Everything is always posted with the option of pick & choose, so they are easy to find and one-click download.

The floor for the interior is 12 swatches, like a puzzle, can be put together for any room size.

I do not use DX11 with my game. If you are using DX11, run the DX11 batch fix with Sims 4 Studio before starting your game. For those that have never done it, do not fear for it is very simple and will update any CC in your mods folder that needed it. I know the new DX11 API causes issues having something to do with the walls build items, that I know of. If you do not have Sims 4 Studio, here is a link about how to install it from their official website. (And of course, if you need help please send me a message).

Type “acnh airport" into the search query in build mode to find quickly. You can always find items like this, just begin typing the title and it will appear.

📁 Download all or pick & choose (SFS, No Ads): HERE

📁 Alt Mega Download (still no ads): HERE

📁 Download on Patreon

Will be public on December 4th, 2024 💗 Midnight CET

Happy Simming! ✨ Some of my CC is early access. If you like my work, please consider supporting me (all support helps me with managing my chronic pain/illness & things have been rough as of late):

So the GM of one of the big PC/NA raiding servers attended the ESO guild summit and wrote down some notes about questions and answers asked there. A lot of them are about potential future features we could see in ESO's future, and also answers to questions some worried players have had, but most of it is about guild stuff. I'll post the text under a read more.

Hey @/everyone, I recently attended a guild summit with ZOS developers where we got a chance to do a Q&A session. I am breaking down some of the keys points from the discussion for us. I will include the stuff I know a lot of us care about first. This is a really exciting time for us to have some feedback/suggestion for the future of ESO. ZOS has been doing a great job of engaging the community and we can expect more from them in the future. For instance, this guild summit will likely become yearly or biannual. About the questions - I missed some, there’s some interpretation, and comments from me included. I want to keep you guys in the loop on what is going on and how we as a guild are involved. A lot of this stuff is things they are considering doing or testing feasibility on. It doesn’t mean it will 100% happen.

Isiimode and I had a very similar question about the next trial drop. They answered the question by saying watch the global reveal. They said they don’t see a lot of the content drops changing. My interpretation of this was mainly that we can still expect a yearly trial and it might not drop exactly on the day that it used to drop on. They want more flexibility in releases and instead of large drops with a drought they would like to drop engaging content as its ready to keep players more engaged over the year. April 10th will be revealing the new trial/content. I think(?) there will be a new trial like normally scheduled just by interpreting Rich’s comments.

It looks like ZOS is going to be working on guild management tools for us in the future. Guildhalls seem unlikely but maybe if we can do them with limited capacity. They are looking into guild halls more. They are going to try to make it so multiple people can manage a guild home from a guild like an officer permission. This last sentence is my interpretation but based on Rich’s answer it seems like someone still have to own it and this is hard to do.

They are working on guild traders and adjusting how they work. Number of listing was really high and this was hard on the servers. They want people to still be able to sell stuff and understand this changed a lot for trading guilds.

They are thinking of more mechanical ways to make guilds useful. They understand that the only reason for joining a guild is really a guild trader. Otherwise discord is the best place for things to happen. No real specifics on this yet.

Limits on guild capacity and other limit items are there to reduce server load. When they started enforcing the mail limit it turned their mail server from terabytes of data to gigabytes. They are trying to minimize the workload on the servers with some of the choices they are making. They referenced guild history, and even Cyrodil changes. Ideally reducing server load overall should help with performance.

Five guild is somewhat arbitrary but it cant be higher because it is a lot of server load to manage five guilds for everyone. Think about how the server has to be pinged every time someone logs on and off or deposits something in the bank. They might consider reducing the number of people in a guild so you can have more but i dont think this is a good idea. They are going to add a guild search function if possible.

They are going to add a guild communication system if possible. It might not look like in-game mail. It could be a calendar or some other functionality.

They are going to explore adding API for guild bank/roster stuff for addon developers to introduce addons. (I didnt really understand this question)

They are going to consider working on a companion app to allow people look at achievements and other account statistics and have already done this in the past but they always blow up the server and make performance tank.

Servers are expensive and getting aussie or other servers seems unlikely. They are already supporting some servers that aren't really active so it’s hard to add more that might not be active.

Some leaderboard changes might be coming in the future. Ultimately, score is the best metrics to base leaderboards on. It includes vit, speed, and HM so it is all encompassing.

What would console addons look like? Very hard to answer. Strict memory limits make it very hard. On PC memory isnt really the limiting issue so its hard to say what console addon developers will be able to use. Codes combat and lazy writ crafter will likely go to console.

People want lore about the players to be included in the game more.

Do the devs play the game? The team plays the game a lot but not everyone plays the game the same. Rich likes the solo content and does that more. Other developers like world bosses, cyrodil, and trading. Its really hard to make content that every single person will love. That being said the devs do play the game and just see different issues than we might see. These summits are way for us to bring our issues forward.

How many people dont interact with guilds? A lot of players play this game like a traditional eso game but might join a guild for a trader or something. They are thinking of new ways to include the community in the functionalities that they have created. It seems like a lot people find playing with people scary.

ZOS love RP community and they like giving them opportunities to RP. A lot of story development includes ways for people to RP.

There is some consideration for integrating EU console servers.

Increasing limits on furnishing in player homes is something they are thinking about but might be hard to do.

They dont want guild homes to replace going to a major city. They want people to have reasons to go to these areas. No one stop shops!

A lot of the cyrodil related development right now is solely on the performance and the champion campaigin/system(?). No other changes will likely be made in the short term.

Will the game be around in 5 years? The best way to answer this is look at development patterns. New cyrodil stuff is an indication that ZOS is going to continue to support the game. ZOS is committed to the game and will continue to commit to the game.

Update the guild tabards to look more modern. Guild specific decorations would be fun and cool.

How I Customize Windows and Android

Windows: Rainmeter

Rainmeter Skins

Rainmeter | Deviantart

r/Rainmeter

Rainmeter is where I get nifty desktop widgets (skins). There are a ton of skins online and you can spend hours just getting caught up in customizing. There are clocks, disk information, music visualizers, weather widgets*, and more.

I get most of my skins from the links I posted, but they are by no means the only resources for Rainmeter skins. r/Rainmeter and Deviantart have some awesome inspiration.

This is what my desktop looks like right now:

Dock: Dock 2 v1.5

Icons: icons8 - this is probably the best free resource for icons I know of

"Good Evening [name]": Simple Clean

Clock: Simplony

* Note about weather widgets: Older Rainmeter skins that use old weather APIs will likely not work. The Rainmeter forums has information with lists of weather skins that do work.

Windows: Useful Things for Workflow

Flow Launcher - this is basically a search bar, app launcher, and even easy-access terminal all in one. The default hotkey is Alt+Space. I use this almost primarily to do quick calculations. There are a ton of plugins and I've barely scratched the surface with how I use it.

ShareX - This is my screenshot tool and I love it. Admittedly, I find it difficult to configure, but once I had it set up, I didn't really have to adjust it. You can create custom hotkeys to screenshot your entire screen, or to select your screen, or even use OCR. This has saved me a ton of time copying over text in images and making it searchable.

Bonus - Get Rid of Windows Web Search in the Start Menu: If you're comfortable with editing your registry, and you want to get rid of the pesky web results in Windows search, this fix is what I used to get rid of it.

Android: Nova Launcher

This is my main Android launcher that I've been using for almost as long as I've owned a smartphone, and it's super customizable. The best part is that it's free with no ads, and you can purchase premium at a one-time cost.

The main things I use it for are app drawer tabs, renaming apps, hiding apps, and changing the icons.

I've had premium for so long that I've forgotten what the features were, but looking at the website, the one feature I use is app folders.

This is what my phone homescreen and app drawers look like:

Time/Weather: Breezy Weather

Calendar: Month: Calendar Widget (I got this on sale for like 30 cents once but there are a plethora of good calendar apps out there)

Icons: Whicons - White Icon Pack

Advanced Customization

Further things to enhance your customization experience to look into include:

Flashing a custom Android ROM (e.g. LineageOS)

Give up on Windows & install Linux instead (Ubuntu is a good one to start with)

Android app modification: ReVanced apps (includes Tumblr), Distraction Free Instagram

Miscellaneous notes under the cut:

None of these links are affiliate links. These are all tools I happen to use on a daily basis and I'm not being paid to promote them.

Install Rainmeter skins and programs I recommend at your own risk. Before altering Windows, such as editing the registry, make sure you have everything backed up.

The Windows web search fix works on my Windows 11 machine. I don't know if it works for Windows 10, but I do know I was able to disable it in Windows 10 at some point, so your mileage may vary.

Install non-Play Store apps at your own risk. (Although in my opinion, open source APKs are less sketchy than some apps on the Play Store...) Always check where you're downloading APKs form!

The wallpaper for my desktop and phone are custom wallpapers I made myself.

(At the request of @christ-chan-official)

You know what? I’m genuinely baffled that the modern world still doesn’t breathe magic. Like, seriously. On one hand, we’ve got a swarm of New Agers—starting from Blavatsky, Crowley, and some random Moseses and Schmakovs—right up to today, where rooted traditions like my beloved Ifá or Chinese divination are still standing like ancient oak trees in a typhoon of influencer nonsense.

Not using magic today is basically a crime. Ever since Jung decided psychology didn’t need to be a cold hard labcoat discipline and gave it a warm blanket and some archetypes, we’ve basically had spellcraft wearing the cosplay of clinical terms. Trauma work? Shadow integration? Bro, that’s just banishing rituals with extra steps.

But here’s where the crime starts: With that good old “patchouli = money” logic. Like... really? If blind trials don’t work, we get the expected placebo-flavored zero. But take away the blindfold, stir in a little intention, and boom—magic happens.

Me? I’m a fully unhinged New Age potion of China, Africa, and Europe. I write calendars based on Ze Ri, hoard hoodoo oils like they’re rare Pokémon cards, and have full-on Ifá initiations, with my daily rituals involving Ebo, Ibori, and more liturgical drama than your local cathedral on Easter. And yet... I stay Thelemic-level skeptical. I know this might all just be a delusion wrapped in symbolic system updates from my overclocked psyche. Maybe the Orisha are nothing but highly aesthetic user interfaces to the universal API. And that’s not even the weird part.

Still, if something calls you in this world? You answer. You challenge the unknown. You dive in and pry your own pearl out of the void. Otherwise, you’ll be grinding your teeth to the soundtrack of your own confusion, endlessly doubting what the hell your life even is.

Psychology, pharmacy, any branch of science you can wrap your anxious little fingers around—go for it. The ancient magi knew their anatomy and herbs and dreams too. Just under different labels. So why the hell should we be worse?

Stardew Valley Basic Mods Guide

I’ve been playing a lot of stardew valley because 1.6 is dropping soon and I’ve never done a Joja run before, wanted to see it before there were any potential changes. Anyways since I’ve been playing modded and while looking for new mods I realized it’s kinda overwhelming to find ones I like, so here’s some I recommend.

First off How To Mod Stardew Valley its much easier than it sounds. Every mod requires SMAPI or Stardew Moding API, Follow that link or go to nexus mods and search SMAPI then do manual download, slow download, then unzip the zip folder into your stardew mods folder (i recommend pining this to quick access), then follow the instructions in the installer and your all set, just add any mods to that mod folder, unziped, and your all set. Trouble shooting Guide on the stardew wiki or linked in the description on the nexus page.

Note, there are other ways to download mods that aren't through nexus, but nexus is the most simple in my opinion and has the most mods on it.

UI info suit, if you’re watched any modded playthrough you’ve seen this one. It adds icons under the mini calendar on the top right showing your daily luck, if the traveling merchant is there, if it’s someone’s birthday, if Queen Of Sauce is on, how long machines or crops take to finish, and so many other things you can check out on the nexus page

To-Dew, the name explains it pretty well, it is a to-do list that you can add things to and they show up in the top left corner. These can be daily, seasonal, a certain day of the week, certain week of the season, one day of the season, raining/not raining on farm/island, you can add headings if you have a lot on the list. It is one of the most useful mods I've found.

Convenient Inventory, sorts items from your inventory to nearby chests, you can also favorite items so they are not sorted out of your inventory

Generic Mod Config Menu, This mod allows you to change settings on almost any mod added while in the game from the bottom of the game settings page.

Visible Fish, Another super popular mod for almost any playthrough you could find, adds catchable fish to waters and optionally trash.

Dynamic reflections, Adds reflections to the water, puddles after rainy days, stars in the water at night

See NPC Map locations, Just what it sounds like, shows NPC locations on the map

Stardew Notification, adds more notifications for machines, cave harvests, morning silo report, next day weather, birthdays and more

CJB Show item sell price

Seasonal Outfits

Dynamic night times, adds transition skylines between day and night

Part of the Community, when you talk to or gift villagers if others are near they also gain friendship

Skillful clothes, Adds skill increase to clothes based on what they are, ex farmers pants +1 farming, sailor top +1 fishing

Cat Gifts, your cat will occasionally leave gifts for you

Happy Birthday, Adds your birthday to the game, on your birthday villagers will gift you when talked to

I have over 100 mods downloaded so there's more I can talk about but these are my favorites and don't change the game too much.

Amazon Nova Act: A step towards smarter, web-native AI agents

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/amazon-nova-act-a-step-towards-smarter-web-native-ai-agents/

Amazon Nova Act: A step towards smarter, web-native AI agents

Amazon has introduced Nova Act, an advanced AI model engineered for smarter agents that can execute tasks within web browsers.

While large language models popularised the concept of “agents” as tools that answer queries or retrieve information via methods such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), Amazon envisions something more robust. The company defines agents not just as responders but as entities capable of performing tangible, multi-step tasks in diverse digital and physical environments.

“Our dream is for agents to perform wide-ranging, complex, multi-step tasks like organising a wedding or handling complex IT tasks to increase business productivity,” said Amazon.

Current market offerings often fall short, with many agents requiring continuous human supervision and their functionality dependent on comprehensive API integration—something not feasible for all tasks. Nova Act is Amazon’s answer to these limitations.

[embedded content]

Alongside the model, Amazon is releasing a research preview of the Amazon Nova Act SDK. Using the SDK, developers can create agents capable of automating web tasks like submitting out-of-office notifications, scheduling calendar holds, or enabling automatic email replies.

The SDK aims to break down complex workflows into dependable “atomic commands” such as searching, checking out, or interacting with specific interface elements like dropdowns or popups. Detailed instructions can be added to refine these commands, allowing developers to, for instance, instruct an agent to bypass an insurance upsell during checkout.

To further enhance accuracy, the SDK supports browser manipulation via Playwright, API calls, Python integrations, and parallel threading to overcome web page load delays.

Nova Act: Exceptional performance on benchmarks

Unlike other generative models that showcase middling accuracy on complex tasks, Nova Act prioritises reliability. Amazon highlights its model’s impressive scores of over 90% on internal evaluations for specific capabilities that typically challenge competitors.

Nova Act achieved a near-perfect 0.939 on the ScreenSpot Web Text benchmark, which measures natural language instructions for text-based interactions, such as adjusting font sizes. Competing models such as Claude 3.7 Sonnet (0.900) and OpenAI’s CUA (0.883) trail behind by significant margins.

Similarly, Nova Act scored 0.879 in the ScreenSpot Web Icon benchmark, which tests interactions with visual elements like rating stars or icons. While the GroundUI Web test, designed to assess an AI’s proficiency in navigating various user interface elements, showed Nova Act slightly trailing competitors, Amazon sees this as an area ripe for improvement as the model evolves.

Amazon stresses its focus on delivering practical reliability. Once an agent built using Nova Act functions as expected, developers can deploy it headlessly, integrate it as an API, or even schedule it to run tasks asynchronously. In one demonstrated use case, an agent automatically orders a salad for delivery every Tuesday evening without requiring ongoing user intervention.

[embedded content]

Amazon sets out its vision for scalable and smart AI agents

One of Nova Act’s standout features is its ability to transfer its user interface understanding to new environments with minimal additional training. Amazon shared an instance where Nova Act performed admirably in browser-based games, even though its training had not included video game experiences. This adaptability positions Nova Act as a versatile agent for diverse applications.

This capability is already being leveraged in Amazon’s own ecosystem. Within Alexa+, Nova Act enables self-directed web navigation to complete tasks for users, even when API access is not comprehensive enough. This represents a step towards smarter AI assistants that can function independently, harnessing their skills in more dynamic ways.

[embedded content]

Amazon is clear that Nova Act represents the first stage in a broader mission to craft intelligent, reliable AI agents capable of handling increasingly complex, multi-step tasks.

Expanding beyond simple instructions, Amazon’s focus is on training agents through reinforcement learning across varied, real-world scenarios rather than overly simplistic demonstrations. This foundational model serves as a checkpoint in a long-term training curriculum for Nova models, indicating the company’s ambition to reshape the AI agent landscape.

“The most valuable use cases for agents have yet to be built,” Amazon noted. “The best developers and designers will discover them. This research preview of our Nova Act SDK enables us to iterate alongside these builders through rapid prototyping and iterative feedback.”

Nova Act is a step towards making AI agents truly useful for complex, digital tasks. From rethinking benchmarks to emphasising reliability, its design philosophy is centred around empowering developers to move beyond what’s possible with current-generation tools.

I AM CURSING YOU FUCKBAGS TO 1000 YEARS OF OWOFIED NONSENSE. I HAVE TO SUFFER, NOW YOU HAVE TO SUFFER WITH ME.

Update:

All this effort and it doesn't even work. I'm not mad, just disappointed. Current theory is that I didn't include an important part of it in the while loop. The bot scans new posts, and I'm not gonna re-post this for the second time. It's only been actually tested two or three times including this try, and I'm keeping this as a sort of devlog. Update 2:

I restarted the OAuth apps that I made earlier today (an OAuth callback server to catch the keys, and another OAuth thing to generate the Authorization verifier). I worked almost all day to get these two to work together. The API ended up sending this error, and I don't know what it means, but it doesn't throw any errors client-side. Here's the error it throws. {'meta': {'status': 429, 'msg': 'Limit Exceeded'}, 'response': [], 'errors': [{'title': 'Limit Exceeded', 'code': 0, 'detail': 'Minor hiccup. Try again.'}]} Like, okay, great. Now I gotta actually look at the documentation and find out what this magic gibberish means, because this could relate to all those times I tried to authenticate, OR I hit the daily limit on posts seen by my bot, which I highly doubt. Update 2.5 after some research, I've learned absolutely nothing. That error code is a giant ball of nothing that basically says I exceeded a rate limit, but doesn't give any explanation as to which rate I exceeded. Thanks, Tumblr. At least Reddit threw client side errors that you didn't have to go to a broken API console to see. Fuck all of you, and I'll see you tomorrow.

Side note: I am surviving off one breakfast pizza from Casey's, one Pipeline Punch, one grape flavored 3D, 4mg Estradiol, 50mg Spironolactone, and I currently have 100mg Progesterone dissolving in my stomach, which at this point, might actually kill me. It's only 9:36 at the time of writing this, but it feels like I've been working on this for days. This is to say that I may have missed something super obvious, and if that's the case, well, I'll leave tomorrows problems to tomorrow's me.

Update 3

Just woke up and re-ran all the assorted programs just to get a fresh start. I'm still getting that error code, but more importantly, my access token and secret changed? I'm not expert when it comes to stuff like this, but I though tokens and secrets are constant and specific to apps. I can't actually test this thing until the API lets me through. Update 3.5

Found the error code. It wasn't way too hard, but it means my bot probably did something way too much yesterday and I have no idea what. It works on the server's clock and goes by callendar day. This means that if a bot hits the error code at 11:59 PM, it can hit it again at 12:00 AM. For an error 429 to happen, any one of the following has to trigger it.

300 API calls per minute, per IP address.

18,000 API calls per hour, per IP address.

432,000 API calls per day, per IP address.

1,000 API calls per hour, per consumer key.

5,000 API calls per day, per consumer key.

250 new published posts (including reblogs) per day, per user.

250 images uploaded per day, per user.

200 follows per day, per user.

1,000 likes per day, per user.

10 new blogs per day, per user.

20 videos uploaded per day, per user.

60 minutes of total video uploaded per day, per user.

So I can't test this until the server's calendar deems it a new day Update 4

It still doesn't work, but I am one step closer. Because of Tumblr's broken-ass console, I've had to find an alternate way to get an OAuth key. It turns out I was using a temporary access key, which is why it changed when I re-ran everything. I had to do this by using two other scripts. One of them is Tumblr's interactive console on Github , and the other one was a Yaml parser because boy do they like to encrypt. This has been my morning so far. Day two and 5 scripts later, just to finally have something that I should've had at the start.

Update 4.5

I FINALLY GOT AN API RESPONSE!!! LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Update 4.5.5

I have implemented a feature that makes the thing wait for a second then search for any comments with a timestamp older than the last time it waited and has the right keyword in the 196 tag. I have obviously accidentally wasted all my API tries today, but testing begins again tomorrow. You will fear my wrath soon enough. Update 5

Decided to check up on the bot, and ran straight into this wall of text. It looks like blog info? Some of those links take me to profile headers. This isn't a static thing either, it updates every 20 seconds like clockwork. Because I made it update every 20 seconds like clockwork. I think this means it's testing time. Wish me luck. Breaking News. Didn't work, but we're a lil bit closer. Again.

#I figured out how to get access to the API #and now you have to deal with my bullshit #This would have taken no time at all with Reddit's API #196 #r/196 #rule

Direct Reply to Notifications: Nougat was expected to enable users to respond directly to notifications, streamlining communication without the need to open individual apps.

Quick Settings Toggles Customization: The addition of customizable Quick Settings toggles would give users greater control over the features and settings accessible through the notification shade. This was a highly anticipated feature for Android users.

Android 8.0 to 8.1: Oreo - August 2017:

Android Oreo, unveiled in August 2017, while not as feature-packed as some of its predecessors, brought forth several compelling aspects that appealed to users. Notable features included:
