Just wanted to drop a quick message to let you know that I'm neither dead nor retired I'm currently job hunting, which is taking up most of my time these days.
I have a lot of CC that are almost finished (and by "almost," I mean there are still a few bugs I haven't figured out how to fix yet). Once I have a bit more time, I'll try to focus on fixing them and hopefully get some releases out!
Thanks so much for all your messages, follows, and likes I really appreciate the support!
It's been a while since my last lingerie set, so I thought my sims were well overdue an update to their intimates wardrobe. This year I wanted a collection that felt more soft, silky and sensual... Something comfortable and chic for both your sims and their potential partners to enjoy!
The Darling Collection mixes romance with comfort, a few floaty frills and just a hint of Rococo. From the flirty babydoll styles to the more bombshell underwear 90s inspired silhoutettes (that flash just the right amount of skin), this collection is the perfect way to show your Darling just how much you love them.
14 Items Total / 30 Plain Swatches / 20 Prints
P.S I also added the Anise bra and Panties as default replacements! x

Also thank you so much to @arethabee for letting me play with her gorgeous new hair Cassandra Goth is wearing! x
pegando leve (aka taking it easy…with a mesh edit)
i don’t do hair but i had to edit this hair from horse ranch with a bigger bandana (look who’s meshing) and placing it a bit higher up on the head. yes i am avoiding posing/writing if i’m churning out cc on a weekly basis now. no i will not answer any more questions. now, on to the script!
what you get
1 cute hair (femme frame only) with a cute scarf
1 overlay with 12 colours for the scarf using @twikkii’s sol palette (my fav) . find it in HATS
1 psd recolour template if you want to change up the scarf
4844K - i got low with that headband
proper LODs, spec, and normal
and it’s 🚨BASE GAME COMPATIBLE🚨
cas icons (for hair and overlay)
notes
it would not be an xldkx release if there wasn’t an issue HOWEVER there’s a TINY bit of clipping over the ear. i didn’t want to cover the ear entirely because that’s not realistic and i honestly don’t know how to force the small ears for this. if you do, let me know and i’ll fix it. but for now, enjoy!
This mod completely overhauls how venue spawning works in The Sims 4, allowing for fully-staffed, multi-purpose lots!
How it works
With Spawn Refresh, most spawns are no longer tied to the lot type, but are instead based on the objects on the lot. Not only will all bars, stalls, etc. be fully staffed, but the objects also impact the types of visitors that spawn and how many. For example, a lot with gym equipment will attract Sims who like to workout, and a lot with many barstools and a few (but not many) bookshelves will attract a lot of barflies, but only a few readers.
Both staff and visitors will spawn on the following lot types:
Arts Center
Bar
Beach
Cafe
Gym
Karaoke Bar
Library
Lounge
Museum
Nightclub
Onsen Bathhouse
Park
Pool
Spa
Retail (not owned by the active household)
Resaurant (not owned by the active household)
Thrift and Bubble Tea Store
Additionally, the following lot types will spawn extra staff, but the visitors will stay the same:
Foxbury Commons
Recreation Center
UBrite Commons
New Lot Type: Rental (Shared)
Spawn Refresh also adds a new lot type to the game called Rental (Shared). This is a Rental lot that spawns Sims like a public venue. It can be used to simulate hotels and other accomodations for storytelling.
You will need a venue mod like Venue Changes for this to be available in Build Mode.
Limitations/where lot type still matters
Although this mod blurs the importance of lot types, they still matter in some cases.
Bowling events and spa classes are only available on venues they were available on previously. This may change in the future, but wasn't a focus for the first version.
You cannot combine multiple types of businesses. Although the mod will spawn Sims on businesses not owned by the active household, the "main" type still has to be set to the business type.
Events like bar nights and karaoke contests are still limited by venue type.
To prevent bar nights from breaking, barflies in Bar venues will spawn the same way they would without the mod.
Parks are the only lot type that will spawn bench sleepers.
Beaches and pools are the only lot types that will spawn swimmers, and will do so using the same logic it would without the mod. This doesn't mean Sims on other lots can't swim, it just means they won't spawn Sims specifically for that purpose.
For roles that have variants that normally spawn on multiple venues (for example: bartenders and barflies can normally spawn on Bars, Lounges, Nightclubs and Karaoke Bars), the mod will use the same variant as in the vanilla game, although it can still spawn multiple of them.
Only Museums and Arts Centers spawn visitors specifically to view art, since you probably don't want a bunch of random Sims showing up just to look at decorations on other lots.
Conflicts
This mod will conflict with any mod that modifies the "Zone Director" files for venue spawns. It should work fine with mods that limit Sims to their home world, since those don't edit the Zone Directors.
hello hello i love your entire blog soo much. i was wondering if you knew any mods that make gameplay in a 70s setting? I haven't been able to find anything other than decades challenge for reaally far back (medieval stuff) again. LOVE YOUR BLOG
Hello! Sorry for the late reply—I didn’t realize I had a message. Thank you so much!
Did you mean script mods, furniture, or clothes? I can share the names of some script mods I use in my 70s world.
For the phone, I use a brick phone from Sim File Share - Filehosting for Simmers
(It replaces the default mobile phone skin. It’s more like an 80s phone, but since mobile phones didn’t really exist in the 70s, it still looks way better than a modern smartphone.)
I also use this mod so they use their phones less: No Constant Phone | Patreon
This one is a must-have in every kitchen:Functional Wall Phone | Patreon
You can also add some of these phones from aroundthesims4.comobjects they really give off a 70s vibe.
Another great mod is Sunrise | Lot 51 • Mods and CC for The Sims 4 It brings back some realism and reintroduces features that were removed in previous Sims versions. You can also find it at aroundthesims4.comobjects
Since home computers were rare and expensive in the 70s, I recommend checking out the computer options on aroundthesims4.comobjects some of them work as computers while still fitting the era. If you're playing with a wealthy household, this mod might work: Mod The Sims - Computer "Karkulator-80"
The first movie rental shop appeared in 1977, so I use this mod to kinda recreate that: FlicBuster | Lot 51 • Mods and CC for The Sims 4
You can find Blockbuster builds in the Gallery—just place the machine inside and it should look pretty good. I also put this in my Sims’ homes: MintyJinx : (Retro & Vintage) VCR/VHS Set
I might release a more 70s-looking VCR soon too!
If you want a more authentic 70s gameplay experience, you could also use a smoking mod or Basemental Drugs—but that’s totally optional, and honestly, I wouldn’t recommend them if you’re a minor.
Even without the smoking mod, I like to place a few ashtrays around:
Ashtray with Animated Smoke | Patreon.
A lot of people still smoked in the 70s—even though the percentage of smokers started to drop, it was still common to see people smoking almost anywhere. Again, this is just for realism (and smoking is bad, obviously!).
If you meant 70s furniture or clothing, just let me know—I can recommend some great creators.
And if you’re looking for builds, I’ve made a few (with mods).

click on a bed to see the interaction that lets your sim pick a book from their inventory and read it in bed.
base game compatible
requires the xml injector
single bed
child to elder
on a single bed, sims (teen to elder) will see two options:
1. read in bed (with covers)
2. read in bed (without covers)
child sims will only get the "read in bed (with covers)" interaction.
double bed
teen to elder
on a double bed, sims will see one interaction: "read in bed"
the animation depends on which side of the bed you click:
left side → with covers
right side → without covers
i added a tooltip in-game to make it easier.
the pose for "read in bed (with covers)" is the same for all sims.
the pose for "read in bed (without covers)" is different for masculine and feminine frames.
benefits:
increases fun need.
skill books will boost the related skill. any level book can be read in bed and still grant skill gain.
if your sim has a "finish a book" want or aspiration goal, this interaction will fulfill it.
children gain creativity when reading fiction books. when reading skill books, they build mental skill — and if the book teaches a skill children can learn, that skill will increase too.
a moodlet will appear while reading in bed:
sims enrolled in university can also read textbooks in bed — they'll get a notification confirming their academic progress is improving:
known issues:
1. please let the sim finish reading before saving or entering cas. otherwise, when you load the game again, they may level up every skill at once, which causes a bunch of notifications :) it's not game-breaking, but a little messy.
2. the animation looks better with thicker books.
3. emotional books won’t give your sims a specific emotion.
this mod took me over half a year to figure out, and i'm so happy to finally share it. hope you enjoy!
Synopsis: So, I created a mod that kinda lets your Sim go to grad school. (Just in case Discover University didn’t stress them out enough) I always wanted a mod that allows Sims to do something postgrad. This mod allows your Sim to go to graduate school (kind of at least). Basically, your Sims will go back to "college" for a Simvanced Degree. Read more HERE.

I've been very productive lately! (And I still have to post my VHS tape recolor too, ahah.) So here is a bed that I modified and recolored from the Lovestruck pack.
I also wanted to thank you all for all the support I got from Tumblr, Pinterest, and Reddit. It means a lot to me, and even if I do that because I enjoy doing cc and enjoy seeing them in my game, knowing that some other people actually like my stuff means the world to me! I have been using CC for 20 years now, and I'm delighted to be part of the creators.
