Folkling Save File WIP - Willow Creek

So, over the past few days my inspiration to build has waived. I'd find inspiration, and lose it just as fast. No one knows this, but I started the Windbrook Save File with CC. It was a personal passion project at first, but I ultimately decided to share it with you all, so I removed the CC.

Enter the Folkling Save File.

While I plan on sharing this save file, I will be using CC. I'll be using the Blowtorch and TOOL mod to meticulously craft the world(s) to my liking. The Windbrook Save File just scratched the surface, the Folkling Save File will be the save file I've always wanted to build.

In the end, I want this save file to be a coming of age movie, the whole shabang.

New Lot Traits : Use Residential Rentals shared areas as Community Lots

Hi everyone ! 🤗

Over the last few days, I've been working on a project that seemed necessary to bring a little life to some of the residential lots I've built: using shared spaces as community lots, to give my residents access to a bar, cafe, or whatever, without going through a loading screen, while bringing a little more life to these spaces.

I know that LittleMsSam had already made a mod allowing you to always have NPCs on any lot, but what I also needed here was to have visitors, who would use the objects placed on the lot as expected. To this end, I created 5 traits:

🍵 Brewed Delights: the lot functions as a café (if there's an Espresso Bar) or a Thrift Shop (if there's a Bubble Tea stand). It's open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

🍕 Meals on the Go: the lot automatically hires stall vendors (up to 2 stalls) and/or a cafeteria server (using University's Cafeteria Station) for lunch and dinner.

🍸 Drinking Spot: the lot functions as a bar (if there is a bar in the shared spaces). This also includes karaoke if a machine is present. It's open from 2 p.m. to 2 a.m.

🧩 Fun Zone: the lot automatically brings in children and teenagers to enjoy the on-site facilities (outdoor or indoor games) from 10am (weekends)/5pm (weekdays) to 9pm.

🏥 Care Facility: this lot takes car of its tenants by offering them all the comforts they need on a daily basis: a catering services (using University's Cafeteria Station), care and visits from the loved ones.

Additional stuff :

The traits are located under lot challenges. You need to configure them for each unit separately.

Those traits work on Residential Rentals and community lots. I had to modify all autonomies so that visitors only use objects in the shared areas.

Among visitors, neighbors living on the same lot are used to populate the shared areas, in addition to the other tasks they normally perform.

If the lot trait Private Dwelling is used, only NPCs will be included, and visitors will be limited to Sims from other units. I use this feature, for example, to have a bar in my hotel!

In the current configuration, I favor played sims for visitor groups (not for single visitors). I'll have to see how I adapt this, as it's the most relevant in my way of playing, but I could change this setting.

A Janitor NPC is included except for the Fun Zone, to clean up any leftover glasses and plates at the end of service. I wasn't able to limit them to the shared areas entirely, so they may also clean your active family's home.

The mod should require some expansions packs, at least For Rent, Get to Work, Get Together, University, High School Years.

At the moment, translated in french and spanish only (it's very limited in terms of strings used)

Last update : 09/02/24 - Major improvements on autonomy

> Download here < (SFS)

And if by chance you try it, don't hesitate to provide me with all the feedback you've got 😊

More information on the few altered tunings after the cut

List of altered tunings : I tried to limit myself, and in the future I plan to use the Lot 51 Core Library for most of them, but it seems at the moment the injection of static commodities doesn't work that well :

eat_to_clean_from_sit: to make visitors' dirty plates and glasses disappear like on a community lot - otherwise your lots would be a mess after 1 day! It doesn't work 100%, but it helps. As a side effect, this effect also applies to your sims if you have the lot trait, which means less dishes!

bubbleTeaCounter_PushOrderDrink_Autonomous & bubbleTeaCounter_PushOrderFood_Autonomous: to add the static commodity that makes visitors route to them when they are spawned on the lot. I doubt other mods affect those, so it should be ok!

This sounds amazing! Definitely downloading to try when I next play

The Soddy

A CC Free Prairie Homestead

Lot size: 40x30 Price: §37,341 Lot type: Residential Location: Biscuit's Bastion, Chestnut Ridge

Homesteading and the settlement of the American west has always been a particular interest of mine and recently I've become very interested in sod houses! I toyed with the idea of recreating one in Sims but never had a good world or assets to work with. When I fell into my little building bender a few weeks ago I realized Chestnut Ridge was perfect for it and promptly hyperfixated.

This home is ideal for a couple or small family just trying to make their way in the prairie of Chestnut Ridge. The house can fit up to three sims and a baby or toddler, perhaps a bit snug for our modern standards but perfectly alright for the nineteenth century. Also comes complete with fertile fields, an empty chicken coop, a slightly decrepit horse barn, and a well stocked root cellar.

More info and download under the cut:

This house is heavily inspired by Prairie Homestead in South Dakota. When I started kicking around the idea of this build I started googling for reference photos and discovered this very cool historic site. I tried to match this build to its real life counterpart more than I usually do, as the interior that they have set up for that house was just so fun and unique feeling. The exterior is inspired by it, but sim lot constraints required more creative license. I highly recommend you look at some photos, it really is such an interesting place.

Sod houses, which were constructed by cutting hunks of the top layer of the grasslands (which were held together by the strong roots of the native grasses) were common throughout the latter part of the nineteenth century and began to peter out in the early part of the twentieth century. They weren't the most luxurious accommodations, but did have the virtue of being warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Unfortunately as the walls were made from the earth, bugs could be an issue and I've given this lot the creepy crawlies bug challenge for ~realism~. It's also off-the-grid, and has a functional root cellar (meaning I put the fridge down there, have fun in thunderstorms).

This lot is fully playtested (might have been the most I've played in a while actually, I wanted to make sure the crib worked). Please please enjoy this build. I know I always say it but this one is actually my favorite, and making this work with the constraints of Sims 4 terrain tools was quite the undertaking and I'm so pleased with it.

If you use it please tag me in any photos, I love seeing what y'all get up to with my builds!!

So the new gameplay I'm thinking of starting is gonna be a cross between a black widow challenge and like... A pack challenge? 👀 So each victim would be a different pack, and when she marries them, I'd play around w the pack elements for a bit, and kill the spouse when I got bored of it ✨✨✨

but of course I have no time to set everything up bc ~moving~ 🫠 so for now it'll live in my head and I'll creep around on y'all's gameplay lol

[ivyandink]

hi hi I'm still around :)

I've been getting back into playing Sims lately with a personal legacy challenge that's been pretty fun. But I'm thinking about starting a black widow challenge w a lil more of a story element and who knows maybe I'll post and share it 👀

Sims has been a nice break from work, moving, and writing! (Bc yes ya girl is on her "I'm gonna be an author" bullshit more than ever before!!)

[ladychaos]

Hi guys! It’s been forever since I posted, I am very sorry. I’m back, kinda, not sure how consistent I’m gonna be with sharing creations, but I’ll try my best. Anywayyyy, here is a new build for Willow Creek I finished a long time ago.

Take care and stay safe. 💜

The Blue Orchid [CC-FREE]

Residential

20x15

Willow Creek

Some houses come with stories, sad stories. Classified as an historic building by the Willow Creek city council, The Blue Orchid used to be home to the poetess Orchid Ellis. She almost never went out, some said she talked to her parents’ ghosts, but no graves were ever found on the property. While alive, she was feared by all. However when she died, her poems were discovered. Magical writing that speaks to your soul. Now, everyone admires and loves Orchid Ellis. If only she had known.

Happy Spooky Season 🎃🤍

[insecuresimming]

In the spring of 1890, newlyweds Walter and Mary Ellen Twining arrived in the small village of Chestnut Ridge, Nevada. There laid a dilapidated ranch, which Walter had purchased sight-unseen from a New York magazine.

The journey out was a hard one for the northerners, losing quite a bit of furniture and oxen on their trail. But the two were young, overly optimistic, and confident in setting their roots in this strange new place.

Historical girlies what're y'all doing w horses in your game I wanna see 👀

[spookcy]

I love making older buildings, and I’ve already made a one room schoolhouse but unfortunately you need 2 rooms in order to have a functioning high school :( So I tried my best to create a school that resembles an old schoolhouse and I’m quite happy with how it turned out. There’s the essentials, but also a soccer field, chess tables, a telescope, and typewriters (i.e. computers) for your teens to use while not in class, along with an outside eating area (since there weren’t cafeterias in older schools 😅

Lot Info:

Placed on the “Copperdale High School” lot in Copperdale

Antiquated Brindleton

An 1890s Decades Challenge Save File

This save has been almost a year in the making, but it's finally here! It includes a completely rebuilt Brindleton Bay inspired by historic New England towns and set in the 1890s. This save uses a light amount of historical cc and most of the packs.

Download and details under the cut:

SAVE DETAILS:

Includes:

Eight new residential lots

Seven new community lots

Six new households

Builds and households are all located in Brindleton Bay. The world is intended to be historically accurate to about 1890, though some liberties for functionality have been taken.

Builds in other worlds have been deleted. The necessary buildings, like dorms, active career lots, and the high school, have all been left in place.

Townies have been evicted, but not deleted, as I prefer EA townies to fully randomized townies.

If you’d like more period appropriate townies to add, the lovely @jewishsimming has some great historical ones to download and @cowplant-snacks has an amazing tutorial on how to manage your townies with MCCC.

REQUIREMENTS: I have all the packs except Batuu and some of the kits. I didn’t limit myself when building. I don’t have everything listed out here, but I will be uploading all the lots and households to my gallery, so if you’d like to know specific pack usage you’ll be able to check there. If you load in and things are replaced or missing and you think it looks obvious feel free to message me, I’m always happy to try to help you find something else that fits! This save includes historical CC, some is included in my download in folders and some you will need to download from the creators directly. The CC required is listed and linked below, you need to download these linked pieces in ADDITION to the included cc folders.
