#mesh replacement

[haalyle-psychonauts-fan]

Alright, well, I've uploaded it to GameBanana if y'all want to use it for yourself. I've written about some problems in the mods' description, but I'm done with it for now.

There's a 'readme' file to help anyone who hasn't used mods for Psychonauts 2 before. (Or really, most Unreal Engine 4 games).

Time to go back to the Psychonauts 1 Randomizer.

Lineless. Mesh. Replacer. -Chef's kiss.- Eyelids added, realistic eye size and shape, no texture distortion on eyes (even cc) or any other part of the horse, withers added, heel bulb (missing anatomy from base game hoof) added + round hooves, just about the same overall poly count with working LODS so high performance, the nose/jaw/throat latch/shoulders horsified, more realistic neck shape (Thoroughbred shown but base game sliders still effect everything for different looks!) and did I mention it just works with CC? This also won't "infect" your horse saves making it required for the horse to be loaded, so it is safe to remove or add any time. (If problems please comment or PM me, this is still a brand new mod and maybe I overlooked something.) For this mod to work you must remove any and all body/head/hoof/eyelid replacers- this includes everything as an all in one option to your horse realism problems. Sometimes LOD 1-3 show a very, very faint line but for the most part this is truly lineless. :) Download Here, early access for my members. You guys are the best. <3

Happy Halloween spooky simmers! I'm bringing gifts in the form of a new type of cauldron and a new type of spell book for your witches/warlocks (Apartment Life required).

Is your carpet covered in wood chips? Are you afraid the smoke from your cauldron is going to alert the neighbors? Is your ceiling black because you are too stubborn to put your cauldron in the garden instead of inside the house? Then look no further! 

With these modern appliances you no longer need to start fires in your own residence. The modern witch has electricity at their disposal and it’s about time they are able to use it to their advantage.

The cauldron has two optional power cord recolors, but it comes with an invisible recolor as default so you don’t have to use it. It has the same options as the Cast Iron Cauldron (original cauldron), so brew away!

Tired of reading difficult passages by candlelight? Does the design of the stand not fit your otherwise modern interior? Are you dreading the day you have to move and find three neighbors to help you carry your stand down the stairs?

The spell book changes with the witch’s alignment like the Grandiose Grimoire (original spell book). It comes with a custom accessory that is used in the animation when another sim examines the book. The one thing I couldn’t fix is that the book stays neutral in the animation. That’s a problem with the original spell book too, so if anyone knows how to fix it, be my guest! Fixed for my spell book, grab the fix here for the Grandiose Grimoire.

For the spell book I’ve used textures from The Sims 4: Realm of Magic and upscaled them a little bit. If you want the closed books, Gryning has converted them here.

I have default replacements for those who want them too, you can mix and match them so you don’t need to replace them both. You might have to replace your current cauldrons and spell books in use for them to show up correctly. I’ve made them buyable in the catalog, so if you have the default you won’t need the custom version as well. I would even advice against it, since the recolors will conflict if you do.

If you use a default version, you can also place the cauldron default replacement file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Fun with Pets\SP9\TSData\Res\Catalog\Bins (or your latest EP folder) in order to avoid getting a custom content star for the object.

Polycounts:

Modern Witch’s Cauldron: 3870 (Cast Iron Cauldron is 3310)

Modern Witch’s Spell Book: 704 (Grandiose Grimoire is 1108)

Can be found in: Hobbies - Miscellaneous

Costs: 870 (cauldron) and 630 (spell book)

Credits: @crispsandkerosene (music stand mesh and textures), Red Fox / nokillnando (electric stove mesh), Vinoskii (cooking pot mesh), DidiSimsation (power cord and socket meshes) and MrsReval (conversion of the power cord and socket meshes)

Download (Custom objects)

Download (Custom cauldron) (Custom Potions Made Better version)

Nov. 8, 2022 Update! Custom spell book updated with @lamare-sims‘s fix for the examine animation. (You still need to download the fix for your Grandiose Grimoire)

Oct. 17, 2023 Update! I now have a version of the cauldron with Midge the Tree’s Custom Potions Made Better mod functions. Make sure to read their instructions on what the mods do. You need the midgethetree_betterccpotions-witchescancraft file in your game to make my version with custom potions work. I also made a version with faster reagents and a version that has both. Choose only one!

Download (Default replacements)

Nov. 8, 2022 Update! The default replacement for the Grandiose Grimoire is now compatible with @lamare-sims’s fix for the examine animation. It also doesn’t need the custom accessory anymore, so if you update the file make sure to delete LotteModernWitchSpellBookAccessoryDefault.package.

Making an effort to try some of the motifs (maybe?? Not quite sure what to call them actually) in the Priscilla netting book and this one. Mostly worked out??

[blighted-lights]

i need to teach myself how to draw scars. i hc ravage to have a really gnarly scar on his stomach and neck but my hands refuse and my heart is weak

[haalyle-psychonauts-fan]

Decided to try and tidy it up a bit.

Uses actual teeth and doesn't clip as much. It still clips, but nowhere near as much.

And, once I apply that slight fix to the other models, I think I'll release it as-is, since I am so done with doing this haha

Hair defaults that are kind of all over the place oops but I’m trying my best here ^^’

afhairponypuff_blue and tfhairheadband_pink replaced with LeahLillith Everlast by Lunacress (mesh edit by @platinumaspiration), 5,3k polys, PF-EF. Not sure if I want to combine these defaults or not, but whatever.

Update 2023/06/29: Changed my mind, don’t want these combined. I’ll keep the old version up, but I’m also offering a version replacing only ponypuff_blue (still all ages).

Download ponypuff_blue & headband_pink!

ufhairhatfargo_brown and umhairhatfargo_brown replaced with Anto Blossom by @keoni-chan (mesh edit by @platinumaspiration), 8k polys, CU-EU.

ufhairhatballcapup_black and umhairhatballcapup_black replaced with Wings TZ0116 by @suratan-zir (mesh edit by @analog-mothman), 9,7k polys, PU-EU. I changed the family lines for these as for some reason they share them with the NPC fastfood hair...?

Download ballcapup!

umhairpompodore replaced with Stealthic Like Lust by @spectre-sims, 11,6k polys, PM-EM. If you want this for original ages only, @loosiap has a replacement here.

more EF defaults!

more! MORE! i'm tryin to clean out the default projects littering my desktop.

efTopFlaredWaist replaced by @goatskickin's conversion of @pforestsims's Open Blazer with Padded Shoulders. Does this at all resemble the original Maxis top or carry the same vibe? No, but consider this: it's better. It's got pockets.

Download

efBodySweats replaced by this Goat outfit. I knew it would make the perfect default as soon as I saw it. Available for everyday and gym clothes.

I did not replace the black color, as I'm pretty sure it's a hidden career outfit and also I didn't feel like it.

My 700+ Skyrim modlist: *incredibly zen and optimised. moisturized. in it's lane. flourishing*

Vanilla eye meshes: "I'm gonna start breaking randomly for absolutely zero fucking reason!"

[eachuisge-cc]

hello. sorry to bother you, but im having an issue with the digi-werewolves suddenly wearing human shoes that can't be removed at all. so far its happened to 2 sims so i tried removing the werewolf form, reset object and even redownloading the package file. nothing has worked. any advice on what i can do to fix this issue? thank you. your mods make playing the sims worthwhile.

so I've been trying to replicate this issue with no success, which combined with the fact that vanilla werewolves can't wear shoes at all means it's likely some kind of mod conflict. I'd recommend just using process of elimination (make sure you use a new save to do that because removing the problem might not fix the shoe-wearing werewolves that already exist) and maybe remove my replacer to see if it still happens to vanilla werewolves.
