It's so funny they chose the Cowplant as the mascot for The Sims Marketplace, a plant that literally lures you with cake and then fucking eats you raw š
It's me again ! I know, weird that I'm more active in a week than I was in the last years, but hey I'm feeling productive so why not make some stuff out of it.
I feel like there's not enough activities for your kids in the Sims 4, like we don't really build their personnalities while they're children before turning them into teens and it bothered me. In my mind, it's at that stage that we truly discover how life works, what we like and what we would like to discover and learn throughout the years. It's at that stage that I discovered how much I loved books, and now it's my studying field !
So, in a nostalgic way because this series is one of the firsts I read as a child, and because my child sims need some love too, I made those 6 books for them to read (is there even any books for kids in this game ?)
They work as volume 1 of the logic skills so your sims will also gain some skills while reading (but as they level up, they might get bored)
This set is entirely base game compatible, they don't override any book and you can have as many book as you want in your game !
They can be read by children up to elders
I only did the first season because it took a long time to just make those six (even if the longest was to create the model I used throughout the whole collection) but I plan to make other seasons later (Aisha doesn't appear until the first book of the second season, I might at least make her book and release it before the entire second season is created as they are like 20+ books in that season)
The entire set is written is simlish BUT the books I referenced are written in french, so that's on french that I based the simlish textes + the title and the summary of the set in game are written in french (I'm sorry, I couldn't find the english version, but if you know of any, I will try to add them in the future)
I wanted to make pages for the interior, but the game works in a way that the two that are shown when your sims are reading books are the same, so it would be a bit weird to have two identical detailed pages next to the other. Thus, I took the lyrics from the opening credits in the TV shows (in french again) and copied/pasted them on those pages. Now you have a semi themed read, but not that substantial

Simlish font by @franzillasims once again, thank you so much for those resources <3
I'm incredibly proud to announce you that I managed to edit the interior pages of the Winx books so that they aren't both the same to make them match the reference I had. Now they're a bit more personalized without making it weird !
This slider hasn't been updated in ages so I managed to get it to work by myself and decided to share it in case someone else cannot live without height differences either. I'll take this down if Luumia ever updates the original slider! š»

I am simply overjoyed to share this new project I am working on right now that fill me with excitement.
On my pinterest page, @kobaliors, I created a new board where I'm referencing, with custom pictures and direct links, every override I can find to make finding the right one easier. I adore overrides, and I adore organizing stuff meticulously, so here it is :
You can find items/assets sorted alphabetically in their own board. I always put first a picture of maxis asset for comparison, and then all the overrides I can find (the work is still in progress, and maybe it will always be).
I haven't forgotten every project I wanted to create, but my schedule is overwhelming, my studies are taking most of my energy and I have a really hard time concentrating on custom content making. It's on my mind, but the delay is still quite unsure.

BGC

hat compatible
all LODs, all maps
ā§ DOWNLOAD - Patreon (freeee) | SFS ā§
thank you for the support, lmk of any issues! <3 more info under the cut
ā high poly warning for these ā !!! i took inspiration from 3 thrash metal dudes and 3 glam metal dudes. admittedly i'm more into thrash but glam's aesthetics are so iconic. i could've gone for more teased hairstyles but save that for next time maybe
Peace Sells (18964 polys)
i made this like 3 other times but this is the one i liked the most! and no this is NOT Dave Mustaine lol (i just like redheads and long haired men)
Battery (16402 polys)
i modeled this from scratch so it's a little different. also, i realized the textures were a bit desaturated after taking these screenshots but dw i went back and edited them
Whiplash (16303 polys)
No Mercy (15816 polys)
Youth Gone Wild (14471 polys)
idk why but this one gave me the most trouble
Wild Side (16543 polys)
probably my favorite out of all of them. wish my hair looked like this irl everyday
Requirements
You will need:
Sims 4 Studio
Photoshop (however you choose to acquire it), orĀ an alternative
DDS PluginĀ (unless you choose to save files as PNGs)
BlenderĀ (any version between 2.76 and 4.3 - I use 3.3)
The Basics
Recolours and Textures
The easiest thing to start with is a recolour. If you have some knowledge of photo editing software, this should be fairly straightforward, but if youāre new to it, the following tutorial covers it well:
Recolouring Tutorial - Softpine
If youāre feeling confident with your recolours, but want to add a little extra to your textures, itās worth checking out specular and normal files.
Speculars are my favourite thing for elevating CC (by that I mean covering it in glitter and sequins). This tutorial covers the basics:
Speculars - Teanmoon
Normal maps (bumpmaps) are a little different. They can give a 3d texture to an item without altering the mesh (within reason). Teanmoon also has a tutorial on that:
The Bump Map - Teanmoon
If youāre feeling extra (I know I often do), you can use emission maps to make your item glow and/or flash/twinkle.
Get to know emission the map - S4S
Meshing
Meshing is a little more complicated (or perhaps not, depending on what your strengths are. I recommend starting with theĀ Blender Donut TutorialĀ (pick the one that matches your Blender version) to familiarise yourself with Blender. I didnāt do this. I went in raw from using Milkshape for over a decade (donāt start me on Milkshape lol) I would have learned faster if I didā¦
Once youāve navigated the majestic plate of donuts, you might be ready for a touch of frankenmeshing! This tutorial covers the basics really well, as well as a touch of texturing:
How to Make CC Clothing for The Sims 4 - Powluna
@joliebeanĀ also has someĀ great tutorialsĀ covering some of the more technical details.
Going forward:
So youāre feeling confident and want to mesh from scratch! There are 3980193890381 CC creators and a limited pool of meshes to frankenmesh, so you may want to create something new. Trust me, start with earrings and work your way down from there.
For the alpha girlies:
Start to Finish Marvelous Designer Tutorial by owlplumbob
I'm also happy to answer any questions people might have as they're starting out. I don't know everything, nor am I one of the top-tier CC creating girlies by a long shot, but I'll do what I can and try to sign post if I don't know.
Finally, the overrides for the green culinary/kitchen bottle :)
Please read the full instructions :)
šøšøšøšøšøšøšøšøšøš
ABOUT THIS DOWNLOAD:
It's base game compatible.
This will override the green bottle the Sims use to cook, and also to make drinks.
šØ REALLY IMPORTANT: Since our Sims use it both in kitchen and also at the bar, please, download the bar items override as well, so your Sims won't use olive oil to make drinks š
All the images shown in the pictures were printed from the game, so this is exactly how they look in game :)
šøšøšøšøšøšøšøšøšøš
OPTIONS AVAILABLE:
When I asked for your opinions, everyone agreed that the green bottle should be olive oil. So I made a few realistic ones, a EA inspired one, and also a Tartosa olive oil brand.
I also made an oil dispenser version in case you wanted to keep it neutral.
šøšøšøšøšøšøšøšøšøš
IN GAME PREVIEW:
When your Sims use it while cooking, they'll be opened like this.
These are the decorative versions:
šøšøšøšøšøšøšøšøšøš
DOWNLOAD/ INSTALL/ IMPORTANT:
1- Download the "channel4sims - food replacements - green culinary bottle override" zip file.
2- Extract it and place it in your Mods folder. There are 27 package files inside it (all override versions).
3- Please choose and keep JUST ONE VERSION. Ā You can only use one override for an item at a time.
Note: They're all called "channel4sims - food replacements - green culinary bottle - olive oil (NAME OF THE VERSION)".
4- KEEP just the package file of the version you want. DELETE all other 26 package files.
NOTE: Do not put it more than 1 folder deep inside Mods, or it may not work.
Example 1:Ā Mods/Replacements/(your file here) - OK š
Example 2:Ā Mods/Replacements/Food/(your file here) - Won't workĀ š
5- If you later want to use another bottle version, first delete the one you're currently using and then replace for you one you want.
If you want the decorative version: Download the "channel4sims - food replacements - green culinary bottle decorative" zip file. Extract it and place it in your Mods folder.
REMEMBER: Download the bar items override as well, so your Sims won't use olive oil to make drinks.
šøšøšøšøšøšøšøšøšøš
I hope you'll enjoy it a lot :)
Let me know if there are any issues.
I'll be posting more overrides for the other items soon :)
And here's another drinks override ā” A new expansion pack recently came out that I've been thrilled with! We got a lot of goodies, including a new coffee bar:
But when I saw these drinks, I was left very disappointed, because again they are the ONE!!! They all look something like this:
Also, they're BROKEN! Yes, yes, it turns out it can happen... Even if your sim finishes his flavored coffee, the glass will still be full, even though it will start to smell....
But with my replacement, you'll solve two problems at once: both your eye will be satisfied and the bug will be fixed!
Here's what the new drinks look like now:
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā ā§Ā D O W N L O A DĀ ā§Ā
MAIN MOD:
~Ā EP18 Drinks Override
ADDON:
~Ā Tuning AddonĀ (fixes the bug, increases the number of "sips" from 3 to 5, and adds 50 calories to coffee drinks)
ā"Hobbies&Businesses" Expansion Pack is required
It is desirable not to put the files with texture replacement deeper than one subfolder in the Mods folder. Also, this mod will conflict with any mod that replaces these textures.
I really hope you like this override and your sims will order new drinks more often! I'll be happy to get any feedback š¤
download on patreon (early access)Ā
(public release - 06/04/25)
click on a bed to see the interaction that lets your sim pick a book from their inventory and read it in bed.
base game compatible
requires the xml injector
single bed
child to elder
on a single bed, sims (teen to elder) will see two options:
1. read in bed (with covers)
2. read in bed (without covers)
child sims will only get the "read in bed (with covers)" interaction.
double bed
teen to elder
on a double bed, sims will see one interaction: "read in bed"
the animation depends on which side of the bed you click:
left side ā with covers
right side ā without covers
i added a tooltip in-game to make it easier.
the pose for "read in bed (with covers)" is the same for all sims.
the pose for "read in bed (without covers)" is different for masculine and feminine frames.
benefits:
increases fun need.
skill books will boost the related skill. any level book can be read in bed and still grant skill gain.
if your sim has a "finish a book" want or aspiration goal, this interaction will fulfill it.
children gain creativity when reading fiction books. when reading skill books, they build mental skill ā and if the book teaches a skill children can learn, that skill will increase too.
a moodlet will appear while reading in bed:
sims enrolled in university can also read textbooks in bed ā they'll get a notification confirming their academic progress is improving:
known issues:
1. please let the sim finish reading before saving or entering cas. otherwise, when you load the game again, they may level up every skill at once, which causes a bunch of notifications :) it's not game-breaking, but a little messy.
2. the animation looks better with thicker books.
3. emotional books wonāt give your sims a specific emotion.
this mod took me over half a year to figure out, and i'm so happy to finally share it. hope you enjoy!
wow so this was probably (one of) the most ambitious projects i've ever worked on lmao.
introducing the plumbline pro collection! this set includes:
a base game phone override
2 deco phones (with a psd for customization)
phone charging wire
usb docking station
plumbline pro phone packaging box
everything is base game compatible although someĀ phone swatches may require the high school years expansion pack. if you don't have the pack, they simply just won't appear.
known issues: there are two swatches that don't work properly? it's definitely an ea bug considering it also occurs on the ea default phone. š„“ and remember, you can only have oneĀ phone override at a time!

I think that covers it. And remember kids, bots were supposed to be doing things humans weren't capable of doing! If you can do it and there's a bot taking your place, revolt! This includes ART. Defend art! Make your own stuff and never be dependent on people who didn't want to make any effort to remain human.
Yep. This is terrifying. Iāve caught nursing majors, engineering majors, architecture majors relying on ChatGPT to do their homework. These are people who need to know their field well to ensure people donāt die and theyāre letting a glorified algorithm cheat them through school. Itās so dangerous
hey. hi. I work in academia. and there are a lot of student-age folks on this site.
don't do this. don't use genAI. even if your professors give you permission. even if they ask for it or suggest it. if they do anything short of directly requiring it (and I weep, because I've already seen assignments that require it) don't touch that crap. if they do require it, stick it to them. be as maliciously compliant as possible. be a nightmare.
I know it might sound easier right now -- just plug in your assignment and get the answers. you don't care about this class anyway, it's not for your major, you don't see the value of the assignment.
but for your own sake, for the sake of your education and mind, and for the sake of the future world we want to have: learn the stuff. you are not as stupid as the corporate bizzaro kings who want to rule the world think you are, so don't give them reasons to believe it.
and odds are good genAI is gonna give you corrupted info anyway -- more and moreso as the machines cannibalize themselves.
just don't do it. not even "I just do it for XYZ--" no. stop. there is no valid use of generative AI, and even using it for memes or lolz feeds the system and directly feeds the pockets of the people who want to replace you anyway.
Rage reblogging this. Yesterday i got into an argument with one of my college friends who is using chatGPT to do all her work. We're psychology students. The whole group chat laughed my arguments off as if they didn't matter because "she's an artist, of course she's anti-AI" and i had to deal with it. This is a warning. If your therapist graduated in 2023/2024, ask about their opinions on chatGPT. They might lie to you if you ask "did you use it to graduate" directly, but try to make jokes about it and play it cool. If they're into it, DROP OFF. FIND A NEW ONE. Do not trust your brain to someone who didn't bother to use theirs.
I donāt want to be completely pessimistic and I wish I could find some joy in this, but the ceasefire deal isnāt something I can bring myself to be happy about. Palestine is destroyed. An estimated 300,000 people martyred and towns obliterated. And Israel faces absolutely zero consequencesā¦ I genuinely continue to be amazed at how theyāre allowed to do that. If āIsraelā really wants a ceasefire, they need to give the Palestinians real aid. Iām not talking about bags of flour but means of rebuilding their beautiful country. They need seeds and tractors and doctors and hospitals and schoolsā¦ not a tin of beans
All I mean to say is donāt forget Palestine after the ceasefire deal, because nothing has changed
