🎉 Hi everyone! The "Snowy High School Life Series — Episode 1" is now officially released! This pack immerses you in high school life set against the backdrop of "The Sims 4" Snowy Escape DLC, filled with innovation and fun.
From school uniforms to decorative items, I have prepared a series of exquisite objects for your Sims to ensure their life in Snowy is more fulfilling.
The pack is currently available on my Patreon page for early access subscribers:

(All content will be released for free on my CurseForge account one month after early access.)
Thank you to everyone who has supported me, and I look forward to your feedback!
The content for the first installment of the series has been completed, with only the LOD section remaining to be filled in. Assets for the second installment are also halfway done. At the same time, I have begun to seriously consider the issue of platform distribution. Since I have lost my original job, I am currently working full-time on producing this series. Therefore, I plan to release this series in the form of paid CC assets, and I hope for your understanding. I have not yet decided which platform would be best for the release. If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to share them with me.
This is the ongoing project I mentioned before, continuing the theme of the Snowy Escape DLC by creating a series of custom content (CC) depicting Japanese high school life. It's a very extensive project that requires a significant amount of time. It includes clothing, various items, and more. I hadn't anticipated it would require so much of my energy. I plan to break it down into several different stages of production, although I haven't decided yet on the method of release. If you're interested in this project I'm working on, feel free to follow me for updates on its progress.
I lean towards presenting this project in a Japanese anime style, while also aiming for compatibility with EA's original art style. Therefore, it definitely won't lean towards a realistic style. Additionally, I'm not particularly skilled at creating characters or buildings, and I'm even less adept at taking photos. Thus, most of the time, the images I showcase tend to focus more on informing others about what I'm working on.
I have re-created the Japanese JK school uniform model and textures that I made three years ago, giving it a better visual appearance. This will also be added to my EA-style Japanese set.
The recent production plan is a set of EA-style kitchen items.
I've spent quite some time and have already completed the drone, as well as the uniform shoes that were planned earlier. This also means progress on the Japanese lifestyle CC, but I still hope to create some other things to complement the overall Japanese lifestyle CC. Currently, I have relatively high standards for this CC set.
Regarding the progress of the kitchen set, some parts have been completed, including the smart trash can and the new gas stove. For this kitchen set, I prefer to follow my original plan of making it 'usable in normal gameplay,' while aiming for a simple style.
I should be posting all the works on Patreon in a while, which will make it easier for me to manage them.
This drone took me a long time to make, and there were several reasons for that. Firstly, in the game, the default drone blades are white, so I had to figure out how to make them black for my custom drone. This caused me to spend a lot of time figuring out how to address the issue in the particle animation.
Secondly, when recording with a drone in the game, it triggers a red dot recording particle animation, which is something I don't need for my mod. So, I spent a considerable amount of time figuring out how to remove this effect without compromising the functionality of the drone.
Indeed, the actual production of this mod turned out to be much more complex than I initially envisioned. Surprisingly, the time spent on modeling was actually a very small fraction of the total time invested.
Another challenge that took me a considerable amount of time to solve was related to the design of my drone. I referenced some of the current mainstream drone styles, many of which feature a foldable design for portability and ease of storage. However, this posed a problem as these types of drones typically have propellers with one higher and one lower blade, whereas the propellers in the game are aligned. This inconsistency presented a significant challenge in my production process.
It's fortunate that in the end, I managed to achieve this effect in the game. Additionally, I also created an additional model for the folded state, which can be used as a decoration. This mod indeed required a significant amount of effort on my part.
Next, I will continue to create some other color variants for it.
This drone is still made in an EA style and has been optimized very well. The model consists of 1956 polygons in total. Although this is more than the original EA version with 762 polygons, I believe the performance trade-off is worth it. Perhaps I can further optimize it in the future if possible.
[Release] Remove the default teapot light effect in the game.
Are you still bothered by the strange lighting effects on teapots in the game? Now you can try this mod, which will override the default teapot lighting effects in the game. It is compatible with any custom content (CC), so when you use teapot mods made by other creators, there won't be any strange lighting, making it more realistic.
The reason behind this mod was discovered when I was creating new drones and teapots. They both had strange VFX effects, and although I understand EA's intention in redesigning them, it did cause trouble for me when creating custom content. I thought other creators might also need this, so it could help everyone out a bit.
If this mod has indeed been helpful to you and you wish to share it alongside your own mods, please refrain from directly reposting download links. I'd like to leave my Tumblr address instead. I'm relatively new to creating Sims 4 mods, and I'm looking forward to receiving more support from everyone!

The reason I chose these objects is mainly to try various different types and functions of production. However, I haven't determined the style of some things yet. If you have any good ideas or suggestions, feel free to leave me a message~
My subsequent plan is to create a whole series of modern Japanese-style objects and home furnishings. Of course, these items will be created in continuation of EA's artistic style.
[Release] EA Style Electronic Clock Pack - 5 Different Types
This time, I'm bringing you a set of EA-style electronic clock packs. It contains a total of 5 different styles of clocks, each with color variations. This electronic clock pack is an attempt of mine to specialize in the EA style; I've always tried to make works that integrate more seamlessly with the original game's environment. For this, I've made many quirky creations and attempts, and this set of clocks is a milestone of my efforts, which I hope to share with everyone.
(I have created support for all languages to facilitate normal use~)

Hello, I've recently returned to creating Mods for Sims, and the decision to start this blog was made to share some of my production plans, as well as to take this opportunity to share some of my works.
Lately, I have a production plan for electronic products and various clock sets and bundles. Work is currently underway.
