Hiking Skill
Hiking is a 6 level skill, and is primarily gained by sims going on hikes under the new “Hiking…” pie menu option on the Campground Map.
There is also a new hiking skill class available at the Stadium rabbithole for §300.
As your sim increases their hiking skill, they will unlock longer hikes and the ability to hike at night.
Going on hikes also raises a sim’s athletic skill, albeit slower than a traditional workout.
Sims who get hungry while hiking will automatically eat, though there is a chance that what they eat may make them Nauseous or fall into a Dark Slumber (poisoned).
Sims with low bladder need will “go in nature,” but they also have a chance of getting the Itchy or Poisoned moodlet after the fact.
If a sim becomes too tired, too hot, or too cold, they will abandon the hike early.
Hiking cooldowns vary depending on how long the sim’s hike took to complete and give sims the Fatigued moodlet.
Sims with the Athletic or Adventurous traits, or with a high Athletic skill will have their hiking cooldown cut in half.
Child sims with the Scouting skill (if The Sims 3: Generations is installed) will get a boost in the hiking skill when they age into teens.
Day hikes can take place between 8:00am and 8:00pm, and night hikes can take place between 8:00pm and 4:00am.
Sims can only hike in sunny weather or during a reviving sprinkle (if The Sims 3: Supernatural is installed), unless they have completed the Seasoned Hiker skill challenge.
Sims cannot hike when it is actively snowing or when there is snow on the ground.
By completing the Expert Hiker skill challenge can lead Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced hikes during the day to earn extra simoleons.
Upon successfully completing a hike, sims will have a 2% chance of finding a gnome and a 1% chance of finding a genie lamp.
Hiking Skill Unlock Levels
Level 1: Beginner Hike
Level 2: Beginner Night Hike
Level 3: Intermediate Hike
Level 4: Intermediate Night Hike
Level 5: Advanced Hike
Level 6: Advanced Night Hike
Collectibles
While out hiking, sims have a 30% chance of finding collectibles of varying rarities like gems, metals, space rocks, insects, and wildflowers.
Certain traits or occult states can either increase or decrease your chance of finding collectibles by 5% (note: this value stacks the more traits or occult states your sim has):
Increased Chance - Lucky, Gatherer, and Loves The Outdoors
Decreased Chance - Unlucky, Loser, and Hates The Outdoors
Night Owls, Vampires, and Werewolves also have a 5% higher chance of finding collectibles on night hikes.
Day hikes and night hikes each have their own set of collectibles that can be found.
Additionally, the longer the hike, the higher the chance of your sim finding rarer collectibles.
All wildflowers can only be found during the day, and the same space rocks can be found both during the day and at night.
A full list of collectibles can be found on the download page under the header “Collectibles.”
Foraging
Sims can go foraging using the “Forage” interaction on the Campground Map.
Going foraging will give sims a 30% chance to find harvestables, seeds, and honey/beeswax.
Certain traits, skills, or occult states can either increase or decrease your chance of successfully foraging by 5% (note: this value stacks the more traits, skills, or occult states your sim has):
Increased Chance Traits - Lucky, Gatherer, Loves The Outdoors, Green Thumb (or Gardening skill level 5 or higher), and Super Green Thumb (lifetime reward)
Decreased Chance Traits - Unlucky, Loser, and Hates The Outdoors
Night Owls, Vampires, and Werewolves also have a 5% higher chance of finding harvestables while foraging at night.
Sims can forage during the day or at night for 2, 4 or 6 hours at a time, with day foraging and night foraging yielding different harvestables/seeds.
Sims who get hungry while foraging will automatically eat, though there is a chance that what they eat may make them Nauseous or fall into a Dark Slumber (poisoned).
Sims with low bladder need will “go in nature,” but they also have a chance of getting the Itchy or Poisoned moodlet after the fact.
If a sim becomes too tired, too hot, or too cold, they will abandon foraging early.
Foraging cooldowns vary depending on how long the sim’s foraging took to complete and give sims the Fatigued moodlet.
Foraging also carries a 2% risk of contracting Botinitus Minorous, which will turn your sim into a PlantSim.
Upon successfully completing foraging, sims will have a 2% chance of finding a gnome and a 1% chance of finding a genie lamp.
A full list of foraging harvestables/seeds can be found on the download page under the header “Foraging.”
Ailments, Injuries, Fear, and Insects
Both hiking and foraging have a chance of giving your sims different ailments or injuries, scaring them, or giving them encounters with insects.
When hiking, there is a 25% chance of a sim developing an ailment, a 40% chance of injury, a 35% chance of fear, and a 25% chance they encounter insects.
When foraging, there is a 40% chance of a sim developing an ailment, a 25% chance of injury, a 35% chance of fear, and a 25% chance they encounter insects.
All of the possible ailment, injury, fear, and insect moodlets are listed below:
Decreased Chance - Lucky and Athletic (or Athletic skill level 5 or higher)
Increased Chance - Unlucky, Loser, Childish, Clumsy, Coward, Absent Minded, and Hates the Outdoors sims have a higher chance.
Note: If a sim is wearing mosquito repellent (from The Sims 3: Island Paradise), they will not get bitten by mosquitos while hiking or foraging.
Certain moodlets like Bee Attack, On Fire, and Terrified will end a sim’s hike early.
Chance of Death
There is also a 5% chance of a sim dying while hiking via drowning, burning to death, or blunt force trauma.
Certain traits, skills, and moodlets can either increase or decrease your chance of death by 5% (note: this value stacks):
Increased Chance - Unlucky, Clumsy, Absent Minded, Loser, Daredevil, Hates the Outdoors, and Tired moodlet
Decreased Chance - Lucky, Athletic (or Athletic skill level 5 or higher), Adventurous, Brave, and Hiking Skill (level 4 or higher)
Note: There is no chance of death while foraging.
Tuning
All of the tunable values can be found on the mod download page under the header “Tuning.”
Conflicts & Known Issues
This is a new script mod so there shouldn’t be any conflicts.
Uninstallation
Same as with other custom skills, removing the hiking skill may cause issues in saves where the skill has been used. I have created a new cheat called “uninstallHikingMod” to remove the hiking skill from any sims in the world and cancel all hiking interactions that may be active, but use this mod with caution.

The B1 battle droid is the standard infantry unit of the Separatist Droid Army in Star Wars. Characterized by their tall, tan, skeletal frames, they were designed by the Geonosians and mass-produced by Baktoid Combat Automata. Though physically fragile and largely unintelligent, they were highly effective when deployed in overwhelming numbers.
This particular model is from Star War Battlefront 2 (the 2005 version). Head, arms, torso, and legs. All recolorable. Since it's a plumbot, it'll need into the future. Enjoy!

ADVENT GIFT - PART 3
I kind of spoiled this gift awhile ago but I finally finished it and decided to upload it as part of my advent gift. I spoke to couple of creators about possibly making this a skin originally but it proved too difficult, I then came across pyxiidis genius idea of making them into tattoos (Go grab hers if you haven’t). So these are a conversion of Mayberries beautiful, hand painted genensims skins for the Sims 2. I did not get time to make body splotches, but it is something I will continue to work on and adapt.
These are made to be used with Cmar’s Expanded Tattoo mod they probably wont be much use without it sadly. I enabled them for all ages, but I’m not entirely sure if there is a mod that allows kids & toddlers to have tattoo so I might make them into a blush eventually. There is only the one tattoo in this set so far, the tattoo is meant for the full face (for optimal use I suggest the settings below).
They are fully recolourable and can be placed on any skin you desire.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
DOWNLOAD
⏩Another one of my failed conversions! Some textures didn't look very good and it had a line around the waist, disconnecting from the rest of the body. That was fixed!
edited EA’s default “age” overlay to just have the crows feet and also made it a topical detail. Similar to what @prettyladybabies did with their separated Ageing blush except mine will be indistinguishable from the little checkboxes in the menu (and can’t be faded out womp womp)
this was kind of like a “whatever” kind of thing since this specific section in CAS is pretty barren so if anyone can make use out of this it’s good enough for me.
Under Topical Details > Age Detail (see above)
Also includes 75%, 50%, 25%, and 15% opacity ones so it doesn’t have to be as strong.
the sim shown is wearing the overlay at its strongest and also some makeup in every category so it appears slightly intense than it would otherwise. so results may vary depending on how much makeup your sim has
Feel free to delete the variations you won’t use!
TOU (…this one doesn’t really count tbh)

I meant to have this ready for Simblreen, but obviously that didn't happen. Mea culpa, and Happy Belated. Previews and download under the cut.
I really wanted to try my hand at a gothic Simlish font, and man, did this project cure that desire. 😫 Nevermore (named, of course, for EAP's The Raven) is definitely a display font; there are no lowercase letters or numbers. I might add numbers in the future if I can gin up the motivation to work on this one again.
The kerning on this one is pretty uniform, but I do suggest the usual manual edits if possible.
Attribution is appreciated, and I’d love to see your projects if you use it! Please do not use for commercial purposes or redistribute the font itself.
