Recovery Break
Hi Everyone!I'll be pausing patreon today onwards. I just had surgery last Friday. Nothing major or too invasive, (it was a success), but I'd like to give myself ample time to rest and recover and slowly ease back into the rhythm without pushing myself.I estimate a two-month rest, but will round it up to 1st of September to make it easier. I will notify again as the date draws nearer so you can make any subscription changes. During this period, existing patrons will not be charged and yo...

Martial Arts Mod DevBlog 1
From my earliest days of modding, my heart has been set on bringing Martial Arts back to Sims 4. My very first mod featured a Roundhouse and Crescent kick interaction, and my SimLit stories often featured skilled fighters.

In fact, Jarl44 and I have teamed up to make this mod a reality and development has been ongoi...

Derp.
#derp 1I am today years old when I realised that dance skill is not from Base Game but from Get Together. 😨 With how prevalent it is to me, I've never stopped to consider that dance isn't base game this entire time.This matters because?Mods that depend on this skill still works in base game, but doesn't have all their features present. An example is the ballet barre. All the interactions are there, but only one animation is danced because the rest requires higher skill. Similarly,...

I'm back!

While future study-mates celebrated at the bar, I went straight home, booted up my pc and updated sims! #simmerforlife❤️😆And here I am back to modding.

Again, only when I can and am feeling bett...
Mid-month update
Quick check in and mini-update.As you know, I have been investigating how to make body-size compatible animations since January.After 7 months of fine tuning, failures and experiments, I am so happy to say that this upcoming dance is the first in which I am truly, happy with the outcome.Arms do not sink into hips, do not go through breasts, dance is smooth and looks exactly the same on sims with zero muscle and fat sliders.
