The Apartment Life heavy metal barstool and dining chair are another eyesore set in the game: they look promisingly grungy, but IMO end up too cartoony for good dive bar vibes. So I've made an alternative!
Worn polyester seats that will definitely stick to the back of your sim's legs.
I borrowed the metal frame from Misty-Fluff's Resident Evil 7 chair and then meshed the cushions myself. I stretched and rearranged the texture mapping so the chairs would have some scuff marks and look as lived-in as the originals.
Now the set is a better fit for your gas stations, your laundromats, and your biker bars :D
I love @jacky93sims invisible chess board and I'm planning to use it everywhere all the time. But what if it was easier to switch the game board?
So I present...changeable game boards!
With one board, you can choose between all the options Jacky converted from ATS, plus two from @decat2's ACNH conversions.
All the games are included in the download. The alternate games don't show up in the catalog to eliminate clutter, but you need all the files for it to work.
Unfortunately, changing the model this way removes the ability to change the recolor, so it's one option each. But I did change the GUIDs so they don't overwrite the originals if you want the recolor options. You'll just have to place those the old-fashioned way.

Enjoy watching your sims play something other than chess! :)

Here's my collab with wonderful @gummilutt - now we can have suitcase variety in the game! :D
🎨 Color Traits Mod:
BV Suitcase Default
Maxis Match OR Modern
Download: SFS Modern suitcase polycount: 1272
⚠️This mod requires Color Traits created by Epi @episims AND Trait Globals by @picknmixsims to work!
As all color trait mods, it makes the suitcase appear in Sim's favourite color (one of 12), if color trait is present in Sim's inventory. Grey is the default shade. You can choose between original suitcase or hardshell suitcase.
🔺Conflicts:
Pets and toddlers on Vacation by @lamare-sims - Suitcase mod needs to load AFTER Lamare's mod (add "zzz" suffix to the filename to make it load last).
BV suitcase texture replacements are not compatible with this. Also, modern default will clash with objects that use original Eaxis suitcase texture.

hi goat, i'm the split tunic anon and i was so excited to see your wip, it looks transformed already! yr tags cracked me up with the sheer accuracy. kooky art teacher / coastal crunchy mom is the exact vibe I got as well. i can also picture the robe having boho patterns and ~tasteful tie dye, the kind she got off the rack from anthropologie years ago but insists she thrifted ifykyk
exactlyyyyyyyyyyy - you got the vibe! Karen/Pamela/Susan/Jean/Ellen is a card-carrying 'hippie' but her house smells like Big White Florals not patchouli. She's a bareMinerals stan too.
Now I wish I'd done tie-dye long cardigan, it would have worked perfectly.
This is done now btw.
@platinumaspiration's 4t2 conversion of EA EP15 Split Tunic Tuck Shirt in 8 new recolors!
And, I have converted this to EF too! (that would be a *new* mesh)
PSD included if anyone would like to make recolors themselves.
As noted, the texture on the slacks stretch in a way that make patterns basically impossible to put on the mesh. Lots of room for fun textures on the cardigan though!
These are 4to2 food conversions from Somik&Severinka, medium poly. Available anytime from the fridge (banana bread in dessert section), same Layer Cake Cooking Skill required. Invisible plate is required and included.

A gift I made for @lamare-sims 😊 There's a few options for this out there already, but we agreed there was room for improvement so here is my take on a slot blocker object.
Found in general/misc, it costs nothing, and it does what it says on the tin. It sits in slots, to take up that space in situations where you perhaps wanted to rotate the object (shameless self-plug) or you had to use an OMSP to avoid clipping so that a slot visually looks filled but functionally isn't.
What Lamare wanted specifically was for this slot blocker to not prevent you from clicking on objects underneath it. So that's what I did! 😁 In live mode the object goes invisible automatically, and shrinks to the size of a speck of dust so that you have full clicking access to whatever may be overlapping :3 When you return to buy mode, it'll return to regular size and texture so that you can remove it if you want to. You can also recolor it invisible manually, if you prefer, it'll then remain invisible whether in live or buy/build.

May you clutter even more intensely, float free and clip free 😉
Credits: Lamare for the prompt, Epi for the base I used that doesn't get confused if you recolor the object manually
As seen in my post a couple of days ago I couldn't find any nice recolors of the BG Exploding Dragon Dining Table that I really liked, so I made my own!
I also made a mesh edit to remove the flower thingies of the legs and moved the legs a bit closer. The edit is completely optional, the recolors work fine without the mesh edit. You can see the comparison below.
There are 10 recolors: 5 plain and 5 decorated. The painted parts are from various museum and antique shop websites. Some of them are Chinese, some Japanese.

Have fun and pls tell me if you have any issues with them. 🧡
I had recoloured this mesh by SkittlesSims before but I wanted to try again and do something a little different.
so when I got a request to recolour it I decided to jump in again :D
.. not much of the original texture remains. :P
base texture is now a frankenstein of multiple different TS4 textures and a lot of "hand painting"
not perfect by any means, but I think pretty cute .. and seasonal! (for one hemisphere anyway)
comes in these 15 colours plus one additional with some extra details I decided not to go with in the end.. may or may not appeal to someone more but I just liked this a little "plainer"
patterns from the usual places.. ^^;
hope your little ankle biters enjoy em!

You may know how sinks get wiped from counters if you put some clutter in their corner slots (usually with moveobjects) and went to Live mode. I fixed that!
feels like forever since I did clothing recolours
I was SUPER excited when I saw megamassikalove converted this skirt with my favourite shoes eeeee. Ahem. And so I had to do my thing and give it a selection of occasionally obnoxious choices.
is there a poorly composed body shop swatch behind this cut? is there??
12 combinations as seen above. I really wanted to put some gradient leggings on them, too but that will be ..another time! probably!
if someone could make these shoes pantsless bottom for kiddos I would be very happy~

The shelves are priced from 40$ to 240$ and categorized as Surface>Shelves. The plain doors are priced from 15$ to 90$, the glass doors from 20$ to 120$ and both are categorized as Deco>Misc.
The shelves have 5 slots for each box. You will only use 3 of them at the same time because the ones on the sides are really close to each other because depending on the size of the deco clutter you want to place on it, you will sometimes need one or the other. For exemple, the deco books and the small easels are using different slots on the edges otherwise they'd clip with the sides or with each other (you can tell with the candles that show you the 5 slots) :
I also edited the door meshes a bit : some had offset handles (they are now centered). I also raised them up a little to prevent them from touching the floor : they are now properly aligned with the shelves.
I also repo'd the glass of the glass doors to the Banquet of Six dining table from the Glamour kit, because I already have a few recolors for it (and the game has two different colors anyway so it's still nice even without recolors). Everything else is repo'd to the Dahlen bookcase from the Basegame.
Please note that I might have edited the filenames as I have them in my game for YEARS so you should take care to remove them from your Downloads folder before adding my edits as they might not overwrite the old files. Catalog description in ENG and FR. Press M to switch between slots. If the doors go on the shelves slots, turn moveobjects off. If you place the doors before you place the shelves, the shelves will magnet to the doors (that's not my feature, the doors were acting like this from the beginning... I suppose they just have a slot ?). And I think that's it ?

Put In Crib Menu For Carried Kid
Adds a 'Put This_Kid in Crib' option when a sim is carrying one and when there are multiple babies or toddlers around. The usual 'Put in Crib...' with a selection of kids' names is also there. See, I had a problem with twins: not being able to tell which is which when I wanted to put in crib the one already in sim's hands.
Yet Another Apartment Nanny Controller Fix
I've had this Becks fix for a while, but it couldn't keep *all* the errors at bay, possibly because I've been also using 'ask to watch kids' on non-apartment lots. I found two more error causes and fixed them here. Becks fix is not included.
Fixed SimWardrobe's Employee Digging Controller
I used to have it error out after some time and had to re-buy and re-assign it almost every sim day. Had enough of that dance and fixed it!
Homework Help: Ask Visitors or Friends & Relatives
Normally, a kid can only ask household members to help with homework. But what if they have a smart uncle, can't they ask them when they visit? Choose one version: either all visitors, or only relatives and friends can be asked.
Homework Help: No Drop From Queue
Chasing people around the lot to ask for their help only for them to ignore you and for the interaction to drop off. No more of that!
May also fix other interactions that call 'Teach - Init' global.
Balloons Live Longer
Party balloons will wait for more hours before they start popping. Because I sometimes predecorate for sims' parties, and seeing half the balloons dead before the guests arrive is just. no.
Restockable Photos & Price Fix
If you set for sale a print of a photo made by sim's personal camera or a photo from the Artist career reward in an owned business, and if someone bought that photo, you'd now be able to restock it and sell again, and again. Also, selling price of a Uni camera photo is fixed now. Yay, photographers
Less Complaining & Only When Open (Edited Cyjon's Hack)
In home businesses, I was annoyed by family guests complaining outside of business hours, acting like customers during parties and social visits, but I didn't want to remove complaining altogether. So I took CJ's mod and added a check for if the shop is open. The result: visitors complain less in general and don't complain at all if the business is closed.
Uni Home Business
Allows you to start a home business in university sub-hood. Convenience of doing it after it's started is not guaranteed (but it's fine).
Death Removes Going Steady
I've had 2 issues that I didn't know were related: Grim Reaper sometimes errored out in the middle of his business and some sims thought they were still going steady with their dead boyfriends and girlfriends. When I made this lil' mod for the latter issue, I realized that Adults Go Steady mod already tried to do that, but it had a mistake in it, causing Grimmy to reset and not remove the 'go steady' flags from sims' relationships. If you have it, make my DeathRemovesGoingSteady load after it.
Death Memory Given To Best Friends, Lovers & Household
I noticed that only relatives and witnesses get a memory of sim's death, and it sucks that sim's best friends and household members may not even acknowledge their death if they didn't happen to be there. Now Grim additionally gives death memories to sims who have these types of relationships to the dead sim: love (red heart), best friend, going steady, engaged, married, same family (household), relative -- but only if they have met. Color and strength of the memory varies, i.e. relative who hated them will get a green 'oh well' memory.
No Memory Distribution To Unmet Relatives
Your sim will not get the memory of their distant nephew getting a A+ if they've never met. I didn't like when toddlers' early memories got clogged up by an array of 'grew up well' etc. about relatives they haven't seen yet. But I didn't want to suppress these types of memories completely, so I filtered them by having met the person in question. My solution is not perfect: sometimes sims that have met are not important to each other story wise, but it's tricky to assess significance (0/0 relationships do not always mean sims are strangers).
Teddy Talk For Kids, Or Playful & Toy Interested
Who doesn't love it when grown sims pester other grown sims with teddy bear talk? Me, but I didn't want to ban it outright, so I made the autonomy consider sim's playfulness and interest in toys. Restrictions are looser for adult-to-child interactions.
Toy Robot Is For Playful & Interested In Toys
Sorry for the long names, trying to make them descriptive! Tweaked toy robot's autonomy to not attract teens and older sims unless they are playful and very interested in toys, or somewhat interested in toys and very interested in sci-fi at the same time.
Toy Robot Breaks Less
Made toy robots break less often.
Servo Robots Less Run Amok
They just did it too often. As soon as their mood got a bit below the equator it was all hell. Now it's far harder for them to break.
Apology More Effective
Bigger relationship bump after apologizing.
Teens Can Work At Cafeteria Stove
Enabled 'Work In Cafeteria' interaction on that Uni cooktop for teen sims, in case you're using it not only in dorms like I do.
Owned Car Gives More Energy
Trying to motivate myself to use cars more often, I thought I'd choose to drive over 'walk to lot' action if it gave my sim some energy boost, since it's the motive that usually suffers badly when sims go out. So that's what I added: more energy for driving somewhere in a car.
Hobby: Talk, Read, Browse Unlocked To Predestined + Browsing Allowed On Community Lots
Normally, talking about hobby, reading a hobby section in a newspaper and browsing about hobby on a computer aren't available until a certain point of enthusiasm has been reached. I allowed these actions for sims in their predestined hobbies regardless of enthusiasm level. Also, made it possible to browse on community lots.
Game Competition More Attractive
Computer game competitions (or LAN parties) made a bit more attractive for sims to start autonomously.
