time for sims

a place for my sims playing. i quite enjoy playing. sometimes even building. loner / loves the outdoors / lactose intolerant

Many crystals for everyone!

So I think it's pretty clear by this point that I waited the entire 12 years of this game for anything medieval to be ever half-released. Basically anything that could pass as medieval/renaissance fantasy gets a thumbs up from me. The thing is, I wanted this so I could play with my OCs, but I needed MORE color options, as gems are a very important part of my books. So here they are!

This is an Acc overlay. Place the desired crown on your sim's head, then move to the accessories tab and chose the overlay you want based on the crown your sim is wearing. Pick a color and adjust as you'd like!

PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING ON KO-FI OR BECOMING A PATRON. I’m struggling to pay my college tuition and buying my ADHD meds, I can't work or study without them and, right now, I'm not making enough money to cover both issues. Please, consider sharing too, if you can’t help. Thank you for the support :)

Adding to my usual begging moment, and again I'm really sorry about this because I hate this more than you do, but I am really struggling. My parents and I aren't making enough money to live. I'm finally a grad, but I still have debt to clear and I could really use the help. If each one of you donated $1 dollar, it would clear my entire debt AT ONCE. I'm not joking. Just please consider helping <3 Love you, may God bless us all.

►Master-list of Tutorials and Links for Almost Everything CC◄

So @elderwisp made an amazing post with a GREAT idea, and I couldn't simple ignore it. Here's my contribution to #simblrsagainstAI!

( •ᵕ•)♥

► Programs & Resources:

Sims4Studio is the program we use to get our resources from the game and to make our package files. Photoshop is the image editing program we use to edit our image textures and previews, with some recurring to GIMP as well. You will need a DDS Plug-in so Photoshop can work on the DDS files that Sims4Studio utilizes, you can work with png files, but it's harder work. Blender is the free and mot common 3D mesh editor sims 4 creators use to work on their meshes. You can import add-ons to it, like Behemox Hair Generator, Mesh Repair Tools (both self explanatory) and Mio3, an UV editor tool. NJob is a great free tool you can utilize to make normal maps, essential to make your CC interact with different lighting in game.

That's about it! Thank you everyone who made those tutorials over the years. You contributed to the freedom of knowledge. I believe every knowledge should be free and easy to access, because I also believe things like paywalls and having to jump through hoops to find said knowledge is part of the reason why ignorant people are resorting to AI to make their desired "art". Let's end this.

[cruxsims]

I hope this is okay but I wanted to hop in to add even more tutorials, resources and assets!! They're all going to be mixed in as I'm going to be dividing these into CC categories instead

Clothing and accs:

Converting pre-existing models to Sims 4 CC: Hair and Full body outfits by @sdmsims

Frankenmesh tutorial by @deetron-sims

Remapping textures from Blender (no need to use a photo editor to edit your textures!)

Maxis match hairs:

Hair Meshing Tutorial From Scratch by @aler-ii

Hat chops tutorial & painting weights by @raccoonium (a couple of speedmeshes too)

Turning alpha hairs into maxis

Speedmeshing by @parsapuff

Braid assets by sspringroll (works perfectly with simandy's texture as well!)

Misc:

Creating body presets

Creating build/buy items (another one!)

Specular colors reference + updated texture map by @livixo

Instant LODs by @feralpoodles

And even more tutorial compilations!

@simlaughlove's Custom Content Creation

KatVerse's list of tutorials

Powluna was already mentioned but really, check their tutorials out

@thesimcommunity tutorials (some are for making CC, some aren't, but still good to have!)

I swear, once you begin looking for resources they do exist out there, they're just scattered across the internet in hard to access ways. I'm certain I'm still missing a ton but I mostly focused on the ones I know I've used before.

And most importantly, never be afraid to ask for help!

[simandy]

Perfect addition!!!! Thank you so much!!!

Enchanted by Nature Addon

Hello! It's time for another addon! The Enchanted by Nature Addon is now available!

One of the highlights of this addon is the highly requested single bed! Apart from that, there are a couple of new tables, seating options and archways, alongside a couple of separated objects such as bookshelves and wall decorations.

There are 35 items included in this addon. You can easily find the items in buy mode by searching for "Enchanted by Nature Addon" or "IllogicalSims" using the in-game search function.

You can find my addon overview video here.

This addon requires the Enchanted by Nature Expansion Pack to function.

Merged package and separated zip versions can be downloaded below. Only install one option. I have included thumbnail images in the separated ZIP version to make it easier to pick and choose which items you wish to install.

Download: Patreon (free)

Use my Creator Code: IllogicalSims when you make a purchase on the EA App to support me! I'll earn a 5% commission on your purchase #EAPartner

Install

To install, place the .package files into your Mods folder found, by default, in My Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods. Alternatively, you can place the individual .package files from the separated ZIP into it’s own folder within the Mods folder to keep things tidy.

dynastid eyeset - updated / fixed / patched

theres been a lot of changes to cc since i made these originally and although they "work", theyve become a bit unoptimised and prone to errors due to the many updates since then. So i remade them from the ground up! im very tired. the textures themselves are the same. just updated to new formats. if the eyes work for you anyway this isnt entirely necessary, but i still recommend updating to these! (also theres new files available🧚👻)

default replacements for (new in bold): humans aliens vampires mermaids werewolves cats and dogs foxes fairies ghosts reaper thing i dont know what that is but its there + heterochromia (with infants now!)

i have no plans to update the rest of the cottage living animals or horses! sorry! these were made on dx11 but have been tested on dx9 ...mostly. lmk of any issues. you can view more previews on the original post.

Hey thank you for continuing to keep the sorbet remixes alive! They've been my favorite swatches from the beginning. Do you happen to have a working link for noodles' facial hairs? The original post of theirs links to to patreon since SFS was down but since they've retired their patreon is empty.

Hi, I'm glad you like the recolours! The most up-to-date version of the facial hairs is from @dcwnandout, which you can find in this Google Drive folder. There are a few of the newer base game facial hairs that aren't in there, though, as the files are a year or two old.

I've thought about recolouring some of the newer hairs at some point myself, but I'd have to wait until my school period is done (after Oct. 25th).

Hey I love your recolors! They're gorgeous, I'm trying to find Sorbets recolors for all the packs, but I'm really struggling to find High School Years, do you know of anyone who's done it or do you plan to do it in the future? Just a shot in the dark, I appreciate you taking any time at all to read this. Hope you have an awesome day!!

Hi there!! I follow this spreadsheet for checking who's made what, which is why I started recolouring in the first place, because it seems like the spreadsheet hasn't been updated since Werewolves came out.

However! @dcwnandout did recolour High School years! Here's the link to the post for that. Hope you have a great day :)
