Updates

Update one:

Ingenius Ingvar Short (both) now has much improved slots, and also just more slots. Cotton Candy trays are still weird in them. That's because Cotton Candy goes in all slot sizes, including ones the tray is too small for. But if you're careful and use move objects, you can create pretty displays like Waffle did.

Grab them here.

Update two:

Peaceful Mourning now works to reduce the time of grieving if you have Life and Death.

There's also a new interaction included, Overcome Grief, that will instantly remove your sim's grief trait and give them a notification and buff. (The notification and buff aren't mine, they're from the game.) It's only available if your sim is currently grieving.

Note that mourning and grieving are different systems in the game. Your sim will experience both if you have the Life and Death pack. If your sim has a lot of friends, and you let sims die in game, there WILL come a time that they won't stop grieving for one sim before another dies in a vicious cycle. That may be realistic, but it's too much realism for my game, so occasionally, I'll need a fix for that.

Read more about the grief system here.

(you worked yourself to death.)

yeah i wasn’t kidding when i said these would be coming soon. <- haha funny joke marshall. so!! remember when i said that this post would be coming out last weekend? guess whose tablet broke a few days after saying that! so sorry for the delay!! this is long overdue. here’s a link to the drive, as always! everything in this part of the update should be in the miscellaneous folder (outside of the menu icons, which are in the menu folder. wauaua).

unedited versions below the cut, plus some notes. fair warning 90% of this is just ui stuff lol

so! all of this was already done by the time i posted the enemies. the delay isn’t *entirely* because of the tablet issues, i just managed to get distracted by making: even more redraws! i’d say new update soon but after what happened last time i shouldn’t jinx myself. but! almost All of the art for the initial mod release is done!!!! exciting!!!!!!

please be nice to me (silly) this is my first time doing frame by frame animation in… give or take 5 years? i followed the original animations pretty closely, so they don’t look Awful but i am Aware of the jank. i’m not an animator!!! they’re Good Enough for my purposes.

hey did you know that the original teleport map is slightly off center. did you know that. that’s not the case for the redraw for the record but it did make things a little harder. despite that, i think you can tell i was having fun with the dormont part of the map. i would’ve put more detail into the house, but we never really get a more detailed look at it??? and i didn’t want to make assumptions. so that part’s just traced from the original 👍. anyways shoutout to the clocktower being Curved for whatever reason

outside of those, all of the added art is actually just spritework. i didn’t know this at first, but there’s a TON of copies of sprites from the icon set. Basically Everywhere. so those are added now! and should work properly! also added a few sprites that were Missing from my original batch. not going to put them all here, but a few Important ones (which i actually had to make new art for) are the rock paper scissors cheatsheet, the Larger versions of the craft signs (used in the calamité fight and. probably somewhere else idk), and the craft signs for the tutorial kid fight!

aaaand i think that’s it! for stuff from this update. yeah no there’s more coming buddy. my tablet already broke one time this week there’s no way it’s happening twice. i’m not working on portraits Just Yet (though the temptation has been There), but i’ve got the title screens, a few backgrounds, and the ending cgs done! along with a few other assorted cgs sketched out. because im out of my fucking mind. so, uh, see you soon!! enjoy!!

Acne & Skincare Update (7/11/24) - New Features, New Name! 🛀🏾

Six new skincare treatments are now available for teen and older sims to use at the sink under the “Skincare…” pie menu option.

In order for all of the face masks and skincare treatments to show up properly, please install all of the package files in the twinsimming_Acne Mod Skincare Overlays folder alongside the mod file itself.

Thank you to @nectar-cellar and @johziii for creating these lovely overlays and allowing me to include them in this mod! You can download the original versions of their overlays here and here. They can be installed along side the versions included with the mod!

After the skincare treatments wear off, sims will receive the Attractive moodlet, or the I Am Beautiful moodlet if the sim has the Snob trait.

The “Apply Acne Toner” interaction available to sims who have acne has been moved to the “Skincare…” pie menu as well.

More Animal Names -- Updated

My mod to give more names for Goats, Sheep, Chickens and coops, Cows and Llamas and sheds, Rabbits and stumps, Bird Trees, and Cowplants has been updated.

It now requires Lot 51's Core Library (today's version), and while it's still an override, it's now an override by injection, which means that it's compatible with other mods that override the same file, unless they override the same way.

It's also more stable and patch frendly.

There will be future updates to add more things to the mod, or to make other mods (I haven't decided), but not today. I'm working on a different kind of name list right now.

There were also a few more names added.

You can grab the update here.
