These overalls by @lehgamingโ were already amazing as is, but I just couldnโt imagine a farmer sim in sequins hehe c; So here is a retexture / recolor of my now all-time favorite overalls. For more information please read under the cut:
Well that took WAY longer than I was expecting. Between health issues, family visiting and almost 2000 files to create and then messing up half of those and having to redo them... its been a journey and a half but it's finally done!

Hello, sorry to bother you! I know you're answering a lot of asks on this topic but as someone whose been curious for a long time I figure I'd come to you. I've always dreamed of a purely blank world, no ugly EA decorative buildings, at the most I'd love to delete everything from the worlds we have except maybe some trees and water. How would I go about this? I'm willing to use Studio, TOOL, or any other mods if possible.
hi! you're not bothering me, and i just realised for all the yammering i've done about my save file i haven't actually made a proper tutorial yet. woops
so removing world objects is achievable two different ways
1 (The Surprisingly Easy Way):
You can go into the .world files with Sims 4 Studio, navigate to World Object Data, click on the 'Edit' button next to Lots, and click the Remove button on any objects you don't want. There are more objects to remove in World Data as well. A quick visual guide:
Then you just replace the .world file you edited, similar to the way you'd install a lighting mod. The upside to this way is that you can stop certain objects from spawning, like the Seasons roller rink and seasonal food stands. The downside to this approach is that if you want to use a custom lighting mod, you'd need to import the creator's files (with their permission ofc, if you plan to share your edited .world file). Also, you have to re-replace the files whenever the game patches.
2 (The Also Easy, but Incredibly Tedious Way):
You can make each debug world object invisible/un-interactable by changing the Model and Footprint resources in Object Definition to zero (S4S will auto-fill the correct number of zeroes). Here is a tutorial on this method
This is the way I've done it for my save, so people can place the files in their game once and be done with it, no updates necessary, if they don't want the optional lighting (softerhaze has very kindly allowed me to use theirs!) or terrain colour edits.
I like this way because it's persistent, but I wouldn't recommend it if you'd be bothered by the objects disappearing in other worlds. If you hide an object this way, all instances of it are hidden, not just the ones in a certain world.
if you have any questions you can send me another ask or private message!
Brand new challenge inspired by The Sims 4 Lovestruck! Another commission from the lovely @simplyrockie ๐ There's so much fun stuff in this one, I hope you all enjoy it!

As storytellers, realism and continuity are important to us, and they're sometimes hard to achieve within the confines of the game. Iโm personally a big fan of posing Sims in open doorways, and unless you want to be limited to the CC options that exist, youโre stuck having to make some poor Sim walk in and out and pausing at just the right moment for the desired effect. But itโs actually very easy to edit a door in Blender to make your own open version!
I initially learned about "posing" objects from surelysims' Wicked Whims posing tutorial, which I highly recommend as a whole. However, it might be a little overwhelming to learn a whole new posing system for the sake of a screenshot or two, which is where this tutorial is meant to come in. Some of my explanations might seem overly simplistic, but I wanted it to be approachable even for beginners. I am far from an authority on using Blender or making CC, and I'm sure there are flaws in this process or easier ways to achieve certain things, but it works well enough for my purposes and I hope it will work for yours too. ๐
Now, onto the tutorial...
Figure out what door or gate you want to create an open version of. If itโs from the vanilla game, all you need to do is make note of its name. If itโs CC, find the package in your mods folder, make a copy, and paste it into My Documents > Sims 4 Studio > Mods. This will allow you to find it in S4S in the next step!
Open S4S. On the main screen, make sure โStandalone Recolorโ is checked under the โObjectโ button, then click the button.
A new window should pop up (if itโs your first time doing this, it may take a while to load). At first, it will show every single object in the game. If you know the name of the object youโre looking for, you can use the search bar to find it. You can also use the filtering options to narrow the selection down by category, game pack, and whether itโs vanilla or custom content. Here, Iโve filtered the search to only base game doors. Once I find the door I want to adjust, I click on it and hit โNext.โ
This will pop up a window prompting you to save a new file. Place it somewhere you know youโll be able to find it easily later and name it accordingly. This file will ultimately contain your mesh edit, so you donโt want to lose it! I suggest placing it in a dedicated folder, on your desktop, or in your Mods folder directly.
On the next screen, youโll be looking at the contents of the package itself. For this tutorial, you donโt need to worry about grabbing anything but the mesh. Click on the โMeshesโ tab and then โExport Mesh.โ Youโll again be prompted to save.
Open the mesh file you just saved in Blender. (If the view is funky to start, I recommend hitting 1 on your keyboardโs number pad to get a forward-facing view.) [It should also be noted Iโm using Blender 3.6, so my screenshots and the location of certain settings may be different than in earlier or newer versions.]
Youโll see that there are actually multiple meshes involved (and the number can vary from object to object). Right now, weโre only concerned with the โrig.โ If youโre familiar with posing, youโll know that all Sims have a rig that is used to move different parts of their bodies around. Objects also have a rig, and objects that can open will have โbonesโ that control their moving parts. So click on โrigโ and then change โObject Modeโ in the bottom corner to โPose Mode.โ
Now, if you hit A on the keyboard, it will select all bones and you can see where theyโre located. As far as I can tell, all doors have two bones that control their swinging movement. They both do essentially the same thing. I tend to stick with the top bone, which is called something like โbind_doorSwing.โ
Pro-tip: If youโre having trouble seeing or selecting the rig's bones, you can change the view on the right side of the screen to โdope sheet.โ Then when you save the position of the bones, just like when posing a Sim, by selecting all with A then clicking I and selecting โLocation & Rotation,โ the list of available bones will pop up there.
Rotate the door open using this bone or bones, if itโs a double door. On double doors, I recommend rotating each side individually rather than trying to rotate them together, as you may get unexpected results. You can use the R+Z combo on the keyboard to limit the direction of movement. (You can also use this in combo with numbers to swing them more precisely. For example, if you want a 45 degree swing, you can press R+Z+45.) Specifying the Z axis allows you to only swing the doors open and closed while restricting their movement in other directions.
Once youโve got the doors swung open to where you want them, hit A to select all bones, then hit I and select โLocation & Rotationโ to save the position. (If youโre a poser, this maneuver is already familiar to you - and you know how important it is! If you skip it, the new position wonโt save and the doors will revert back to closed.)
Thatโs it! You donโt have to do anything else to the mesh. Save your file in Blender. If you want to keep it separate from the original door mesh, save as instead and name it something different. (This is why you may want a dedicated folder, since the number of files does add up!)
Reopen the package you made earlier in S4S (or simply return to it if youโve kept it open). From the same place you exported the mesh, you will now import the edited mesh. Hit โImport Mesh,โ navigate to your edited Blender file, and you should now see your edited door replace the original. Since itโs the same mesh, all the swatches will still work perfectly with it.
Youโll notice that youโve only replaced the โLOD 0 (High)โ version of the mesh. When you click the drop-down menu, youโll see that there are also medium and low detail versions, as well as shadow meshes at all levels of detail. If youโre only making an object for personal use, you donโt have to worry too much about LODs. You can probably just import the same mesh into LOD 1 and LOD 2 and be fine (so long as your computer isn't a potato). And if this is just for you, I honestly wouldn't even touch the shadow LODs.
The only other thing you might do is go back to the โCatalogโ tab and alter the object name so you can find it easily in the game catalog. You can also edit the description, price, etc. if you so desire. Hit โSave.โ
Test in game! If the package isnโt already in your Mods folder, move it there. As long as you didnโt mess with any of the tags, it should still be in the door section of build mode and work perfectly as a functional door. The door swinging animation will look different, and you could probably get rid of it if you wanted, but thatโs above my current skill level and I donโt think itโs really necessary for our purposes. If all you need is an open version of a very specific door for storytelling purposes, it gets the job done.
(First screenshot: doors swung open as intended, second screenshot: doors swinging in the opposite direction as theyโre walked through)
These steps can also potentially be used to create open versions of other in-game objects like gates, books, chests/boxes, etc. Iโm only just beginning to experiment with minor mesh edits, but once you get the hang of it they can often be faster and easier than trying to line up the best circumstances to get the perfect shot in-game. I might make more tutorials for small edits like this that help with storytelling realism and continuity in the future!

cool prosthetic arms and legs on the gallery! (and how to find them)
i scoured the gallery and found some really cool arm and leg prosthetic tattoos there, tried them all, and i'm here to recommend them to you.
not only there are significantly more options now for us to use, because there isn't a lot of prosthetic cc out there to start with, but these are also accessible for no cc and console players, so yay!
there are more that you can find by typing in "prosthetic", "cyborg", "robot", or simply "arm" and "leg" (though these will require some combing through), and they keep being created - one of them was added to the gallery as i was making this post! but these ones are the best at the moment. enjoy!
