Decor with a Purpose: Functional Vampires Radiator

We have ways to heat houses now, but the radiator from the Vampires pack remains useless without mods. So here’s my take on functionality for it including your choice of a Vampires only version or one that functions as a Seasons thermostat.

Update 7/25/23:

Version 2.0 now only requires Vampires as a default, and has additional interactions with Snowy Escape.

There's still an alternate version if you'd prefer Seasons thermostat functionality

Rolled the strings addon into the main SNS version

Added partial Chinese translation from Moonlikeruo

Please delete old versions as this is a major update and things have been moved around.

Home Repair: Stained & Dirty Floors

Very similar to my Stained Walls mod, here are some rugs that your sims can clean up as if they were water spills. Like my other home repair mods, they will need to inspect the items first to prevent unwanted autonomy.

New Object: Wedding Cake Display Case

I was annoyed that wedding cakes didn't fit in the Get to Work bakery cases so I made my own version without shelves in the middle. This will preserve the cakes and let you sell them just like regular cakes in the regular cases.

CAS Bugfix: FTM Fingernail Fixes

I’m happy to see that it looks like EA has fixed most of the issues the version 1.0 of this mod fixed! So now in version 2.0 the addon has become the main mod.

This adds duplicated versions of the male fingernails that are enabled for masculine sims with feminine frames. They’re not perfect and you’ll see two versions of all fingernails on masc sims but it’s better than the default.

Update 7/24/22:

Exciting news! EA fixed a lot of the issues! That means that I'm converting my FTM Fingernail Fixes addon into the main mod for version 2.0.

Deleted the main mod.

Turned the addon into v2.0 of the main mod.

Added Grunge Revival Kit nails.

Renamed everything so please delete old versions before updating.

Decor with a Purpose: Books and Magazines as Bookshelves

Now stacked books can function just like bookshelves. Yes, there are already some space saving options like this, but they look so neat and organized. Some people (and sims) are messy. Now you can just have books laying around as decor and pretend to grab from the pile.

Home Repair: Overgrown Vines

Ivy can look great growing up your house, but it isn’t always wanted. Now your sims can rip it out if you don’t want it.

Unlike damage and stains, the overgrown vines don’t add a negative modifier, but they can be inspected and removed in the same way.

Multi-Purpose Furniture: Surface/Bookshelves

Moving beyond just giving clutter a purpose for a moment, I’ve decided to give some game items a second purpose. These items are all tables (end table, coffee tables, and TV stands) that can now serve as bookshelves in addition to being a surface. Basically if there is built in book clutter it’s now a bookshelf.

Decor with a Purpose: Functional Beach Basket

Similar to Functional Coat Racks, this item lets you change into and out of swimwear. Depending on the current weather, changing out of it will choose everyday or hot weather clothing. Also if you have Island Living and my Functional Sunblock mod or Kuttoe’s Basic Burns you’ll get an extra option to Apply Sunburn Protection.

[ilexsims]

Update 5/21/23:

Added a new interaction by request. Now if the weather is hot and a sim is wearing something other than swimwear or hot weather clothes they have the option to change into hot weather clothes.

Added partial Spanish translations from Morzat

Home Repair: Stained Walls

This is very similar to my Damaged Walls mod. It functions almost identically to that except that you don’t need Handiness to clean after inspecting.

Why do you have to inspect them before cleaning them? Because that gives you the freedom to choose when they become cleanable. Otherwise your sims will go around doing it on their own when you might want it to stay messy for a bit.

Update 4/30/23:

Made the graffiti addon stand on its own if you don't have the main mod. It's slightly more work for me to maintain, but it will be less confusing for you.

Discontinued the TUNING_ONLY download as a result of the above. Please delete it when you update to the latest version of the addon if you're using it.

Updated the main mod to remove the tuning that I moved to the graffiti addon.

Home Repair: Damaged Walls

I love the idea of building a very damaged house and fixing it up, but going into build mode to change decor doesn’t quite satisfy that for me.

So for this first in the series, I made the cracks and holes in the walls give negative environment and made them able to be repaired after inspecting the damage. Depending on how bad the damage is you’ll need different Handiness levels, but you can hire someone to fix it if you don’t have the skill.

More Storage: Medicine Cabinets

I know a few other people have done medicine cabinet mods but none of them were exactly what I was looking for so I made my own.

This turns some bathroom mirrors and cabinets into storage chests. They share storage with one another and with other chests (unless you have a mod for that). The mirrored ones still have the essential mirror functionality as well as storage functionality.

Decor with a Purpose: Functional Shower Supplies

Update 4/17/23:

Fixed a bug that was causing occasional errors

Made a couple other fixes while looking for the problem. They may not have actually been the problem but whatever, it's more correct now.

In fact, I think the kids jumping out of the shower bug might be fixed now! I wasn't seeing it while I was testing it so this might be a two birds one stone thing.
