After checking all of my mods, it seems like no update is required for anything, so if you are using my mods, this is fine 🐕🎩 (no flames here).
🎭 Grand Ball outfit fix -> The issue of Sims not using their formal outfit if no dress code was specified is solved, but the mod can still be used when you want to force Sims to wear masks for the Grand Ball, as the option still don't work.
🧩 Improved Social Compatibility and 🧲 Improved Turn-On & Turn-Offs -> For their next update, I will include the new event trait, as it wasn't included by EA of course.
There are some projects I have on the side I can continue to work on during the next months, as I finished training program to work for social and solidarity economy, and finding a job in this field will take time (so I'm unemployed with a lot of time !).
I don't know if that stuff is relevant or interesting for people, don't hesitate to comment on this post if some idea seem interesting to you :
🚪Unrestricted doors unlock and lock -> I modified to interactions to remove the constraints, as for some getaways, having the option to lock and unlock doors for one or multiple Sims while I'm there, and also temporary claim rooms for one of multiple Sims i'm not playing was making things run better.
🏔️ Revamped getaway activities -> I explained this issue, but as Small Businesses, Getaways and Custom Venues selected activities work by pushing a list of interactions to Sims, without the logic you would observe in regular community lots (depending on their mood, personality, etc.). As those new venue allow to tie a buff to those activities, I started testing stuff and it seems to run better this way, but it would require a lot of work.
🧇 Fill in buffet table as an activity -> Asking Sims to cook and serve meals on getaways is a complete mess, with everyone starting to cook and blocking all the conterspaces. One solution I found was creating interactions that empty then fill the buffet table with enough food (breakfast or normal meal) and activities to make Sims use them autonomously. It works well, and I might also use them for my Multi-functional lots, as I have a motel where that would be very useful !
🛍️ Better sales tables -> There would be a way to improve and add more diversity to what Sims sell on sales table on the new Community Market lot type (and Marketplace from Eco Lifestyle), and using appropriate Sims to sell the products. Again it's tedious work, but I already listed some ideas related to that.
🧘 Diversity autonomy on community lots -> We now have so many skill building or entertainment objects, and older lot types don't take advantage of that as Sims don't use those items in their autonomy.
🩱 No nudity lot trait -> I already worked on this one, as for community pools for example, I wanted my sims to shower in their bathing suit.
On another note, more freetime means I'm building and creating Sims for both Ondarion and Gibbi Point. As I haven't seen many people using my save file (and I understand, it's quite complicated and big). I don't know if I will update it, but one thing for sure, I still have a lot of work to do, but I can show some screenshots !
The first three pictures represent the three Dynasties I created for my version of Ondarion (and other random Sims), I haven't pictured all the ancestors, and the last picture represent the Sims I created for Gibbi Point (I also made over the necessary NPCs).
For Ondarion, I have yet to start on the three big palaces I need to create for my families, I'm not the most comfortable with enormous builds, so I need to find the right inspirations for that!
I really love Gibbi Point, I have few lots left there, and I had a lot of fun creating camps for children and for teens ! Here again, the huge lots are a struggle.
About my current situation: as explained above, I finished my training program to work for social and solidarity economy, and I now have to find a job in my new field, which will be complicated, and I don't have much resources. If you like my mods or my save and can afford it, don’t hesitate to make a donation here, it could go a long way 🤗
