Excuse the shitty preview-y thing, I am a modder not a graphics person. Anyways:
Positivity Challenge Posters from CL Poster Spots!
A little mod I threw together because having unachievable collections taunting me in game makes me sad. This overrides the rewards from the City Living Poster Spots to add the 4 Positivity Challenge Posters to the pool of possible posters to find, with about the same rarity as the "Rare" Angsty posters.
Behold, I live! And I mod! Been a while hasnât it?
Anyways, with the Infant Update out now my old Aging Mod was in dire need of an update.
This is that update. In the nearly 7 years since I made the original, EA has tinkered with the aging on their end, added pets that I never made changes for and generally changed things about behind the scenes, so I remade the entire thing from scratch.
Details, Numbers, Reasons, and of course, the download link, under the cut!

As with the old version, this Mod changes simsâ and now also petsâ lifespans to something I find more reasonable/useful. Since there is now 3 differently tuneable Lifespans (Short, Normal, Long) as opposed to the old Normal + Multiplier System, I figured Iâd combine my personal setup with 2 fairly popular setups I am used to from Sims 2: 1 sim day=1 year and Gestational Based Aging, where 1 sim day = 3 months, based on pregnancy length.
Hereâs what is getting changed to what:
Sims:
Cats:
Dogs:
For my personal, aka the âNormalâ Lifespan settings I wanted my sims to live longer, have more time for fun things, friends and dating, while also preventing the awkward situation I used to frequently run into where my sims would not get to meet their grandkids because they turned into elders in the middle of their kids being children/teens. I also added a full 28 days to the YA lifespan instead of the like... 8 that EA added, so your sims can be young adults AND have the university experience, since getting your first degree always takes at least 3 weeks.
For both Day=Year and Gestational Aging I rather arbitrarily set the Age Up Milestones as follows:
Babies: 0-1
Infants: 1-3
Toddlers: 3-6
Child: 6-12
Teen: 12-18
YA: 18-32
Adult: 32-60
Elder: 60+ with a general life expectancy of 80
And for pets:
Kittens: 0-1
Adult Cats: 1-10
Elder Cats: 10-18
Puppies: 0-1
Adult Dogs: 1-9
Elder Dogs: 9-14
That should be all. I of course havenât tested it extensively, so I might update/tweak as I go. Ya know, the usual for my things.
If you have any problems/suggestions/questions, feel free to let me know!
Now, to the good stuff:

22/07/2023 - Horses Update!
Now includes a file to adjust horse aging as follows:
On Short/Gestational I picked chose the following values:
Foal 0-4 years
Adult 4-24 years
Elder 24-30 years
Which is what google told me makes sense for horses, so weâll go with that.
For normal I changed the values as follows:
Foal: 7(EA) -> 8
Adult: 50(EA) -> 52
Elder: 13(EA) -> 20
So not that much changed, but I havenât really played with horses much yet so I donât know if their lifespans will bother me.
More Friends needed for People Person Lifestyle Mod
I am rather annoyed by the fact that the sims developers think having 4 friends means you canât be close with them. 4 sims to be friends with is nothing! Thatâs your partner, your parents and 1 child! NONSENSE I SAY
So I ventured forth into the depths of Sims4Studio, found the trait statistic tuning file that governs how the Close Knit/People Person Lifestyles are earned and had a poke around.
Said poke resulted in this:
Sims with 1-3 friends should be tending towards a Close Knit lifestyle.
Sims with 4-7 friends should be tending towards neutral on this Lifestyle scale.
Sims with 8+ friends should be tending towards a People Person Lifestyle.
I didnât change anything else about these lifestyles.
Not extensively tested so please tell me if I done did break it. Also I did not check if anyone else had done this before, so thatâs just a thing we are living with here.
All 18 original Niksim Colours + my Onyx, with custom Hair Colour Tags to make them do the genetic things, because thatâs been my big project lately. Iâll write up a proper post eventually, maybe. I just wanted to get a quick serotonin boost from finishing a thing first okay?
Since @ice-creamforbreakfast already included Pitch youâll have to delete that swatch off of either the recolour or the original, or youâll have duplicates.
