Guqin is an ancient Chinese musical instrument with a clear, deep sound and it is different from Guzheng.
I really love the sound of this instrument and wanted my Sim to be able to play it, so I decided to try making this instrument myself 💪
Since I couldn’t find any playable Guqin mods for The Sims 4 to convert, so I had to create the animations from scratch.
This is my first time making sim animations, so they may look a bit wonky. The poses aren’t completely accurate because TS2 finger joints are pretty limited—but I tried my best.
This guqin will increase creativity skill and music enthusiasm.
It will look like this in game ⬇️
There are 4 interactions for you to choose from, including:
Practice (左手指月 by Zi De Guqin Studio）
Song Two （不染 by Zi De Guqin Studio）
Song Three (天行九歌 by Zi De Guqin Studio）
Song Four （无羁-魔道祖师 The Untamed🌝)
You don't need Atavera and Argon's instrument hack to use this.

Guqin mesh and texture made by me (renalp96)
Poly count: 7.8k
Note: You have to keep mesh and sound file in the download folder to make it works well in game, if there is any problem with my cc, pls pm me :3

Pi and her friends are moving again, this time back to comicfury and tumblr!
Webtoon is not my place as it seems. Too much drama and hate rating, with so little to give back :) So I'm taking my girl Pi, back into more friendly waters, and since Comicfury went well for my previous comics "Srath Farath", I've decided to move my current comic there too.
But she will also be telling her story on Tumblr too! I'm sharing both the links here and please, if you have experience (good or bad) with comic hosting sites, I'd love to read your thoughts on the comments.
If you are a simcomics creator, or you know one, where do you think is better to share your story?
Ginnie has been uploading bps / blackpearlsims downloads with images over at simscave for months now, and I highly urge you to take a look! You will need to register, but it's so worth it :-) keep in mind it's still a WIP - the uploads are uploaded alphabetically by creator and atm Ginnie is on "P".
Thank you so much Mookie for sharing the link! :-D
I've defaulted this because to me it gives trad wife vibes. This is from @grecadeasims-studio There wasn't a grey for elder so it's black for elders. Enjoy!
DOWNLOAD I SFS
The third season of my sims webcomics started last month, so I'm sharing here some panels to showcase that with that game we can create many different kinds of artwork.
With a ton of CC shared by many talented creators -styles, mods, poses etc- it's easy and fun to share stories and awesome pics!
hello /ᐠ. .ᐟ\ฅ not much to say but this is kijiko's fishing cat hair (converted by @grecadeasims-studio) retextured and recolored in my purr hair system. the hair is alternatively simply called "round bob" but fishing cat is a lot more fun in my opinion so i went with that one :)
this hair is male only, child-elder, comes in all colors, naturals binned, elder gray linked to black, and the mesh is included. i also made some gradient recolors based on these ones by @dark-side-princess-sims
if there are any issues please let me know ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა ✧ TOU
Uhh, I have decided to branch out further and recolor eyebrows in the NHS

Credits: Remi, Pooklet, @grecadeasims-studio, @crystaldollhouse, @nonsensical-pixels for giving me advice, @pralinesims for the original eyebrows from TS4
I plan on converting some of praline’s eyebrows myself so if anyone would like me to convert anything specific, feel free to shoot me an ask!
I already have the shaved ones, Cate and Villainy on my list.
I recently started reading your Not My Cupid web comic and I just wanted to say that it's really good! The artistic style is very interesting, and the characters are compelling. I am up to chapter 43 and I have enjoyed it quite a bit so far, so thank you for sharing your work with us and giving us more Sims 2 content to enjoy! I can't wait to find out how the story will end one day :)
Hi gummilut! I m so happy you like that story, and thanks for your awesome comment! There will be even more drama in Pi's life, with a twist that is about to happen soon ;) The only thing is that this "soon" depends on my job IRL, cause it's kind of a busy summer 😅

So yeah, someone reported one of my comics episodes on Webtoon.
No nudity, no swearing. Just Mel talking while having a bath. No keep in mind that my comics usually have fewer that fifty subs and barely make it to 150 views per month, so how come I got a viewer who got so offended by the Barbie pic bellow?! Am I a jerk magnet? Probably I am...
The sims community Holiday Love Meme is back for another year! Please join us and sign up, spread the word, and spread the love to your fellow simmers. ♥ Let your friends and followers know you’ve signed up so they can send love and join in, too. This is especially true for any ts3 and ts4 simmers that join in (all are welcome!), as this meme tends to be primarily in the ts2 community–it started there on LiveJournal in 2009 (that's 14 years of holiday love)!
Thank you so much to ch4rmsing for offering to create this lovely banner for us. :)
