I felt like my sims needed a bit of 'quiet luxury' after all the noise of last months collab... so what a perfect excuse to take a little trip to Italy Monte Vista for a spot of shopping to smarten up those virtual closets!
The Bella Collection focuses on classic summer pieces with an old-money twist. From smart but softly tailored linen looks to a variety of dresses that suit any occasion; The Bella Collection lets your sims enjoy La Dolce Vita in style!

Adjusted Thumbnails for the Household Panel (incl. a version for shorter teens)
Some of this started off as an experiment following a chat in Creator Musings but a few people wondered if I can share it sometime, so here it is.
1A) Adjusted camera settings for kids and pets
This is just something that bothered me and it mainly affects thumbnails in CAS. There's a strong perspective view applied to the CAS thumbnails of kids and pets, which makes them look a bit distorted and the zoom is too close cutting off the face in some cases:
The adjustments are somewhat a compromise of CAS and in-game settings leaning towards the latter. The adjustments for human sims are also included for in-game thumbnails (due to some restrictions this is not quite possible for pets, but their in-game version looks fine anyways).
1B) Adjusted camera settings for shorter teens (tested with the Shorter Teens mod by Menaceman44)
Disclaimer that sims aged teen-elder use the same camera settings and there's no way that I know of to treat teens differently or assign different settings based on the height of a sim, if you use such a mod.
When you use a height mod, the sims faces will be cut off with the default settings.
My workaround here is zooming out to allow shorter sims to fit into the picture frame. It's not an optimal solution, but the only solution I can think of. Below a preview using the standard teen height (first row) and the "shortest" teen height (second row) from the Shorter Teens mod.
This version uses 1A) as a base, but zooms out more on human sims (pets have the same settings as in 1A).
Note: Also not optimal, but you can try making the UI bigger via the game accessibility settings to make the household panel incl. the thumbnails a bit larger if these settings make the sims portraits too small.
2) Angled Pose (made for Waffle ^^)
Waffle mentioned that we used to have angled pictures in the household panel (seems like this was the case until pets were added to the game). Below I tried to recreate the original settings (based on a very old blurry screenshot :P).
Below an example of how it looks standalone and with the camera settings 1A/1B.
The pose override is only for human sims, not for pets. I feel like the very different proportions and profiles of cats and dogs won't always look great when angled (and I suspect that's the reason this was changed when pets were added).
You can use this option in addition to the above settings or standalone. (This is a pose override, not an override for camera settings and can therefore be used independently.)
Download links are below the cut.

1A) Adjusted camera settings for kids and pets: SFS | MF
1B) Adjusted camera settings for shorter teens: SFS | MF
2) Angled Pose: SFS | MF
Change log:
January 18th 2025: A mermaid specific pose was missing in the Angled Pose mod (only noticeable in CAS). Added it.
Notes:
Pick either 1A) or 1B)! Don't put both files into your mods folder.
You can use 2) in addition or standalone.
You need to delete the file localthumbcache.package to let the game generate new thumbnails. Otherwise you won't see any changes in game until the game needs to update the thumbnails on its own. (You should see the changes in CAS immediately, though.)
"APOLLO Sound Pad" MA x HELIOS Functional Stereo | TS4
Helios is the electronic brand I use for my Lykaia series. It's meant to have a bit more of a futuristic Y2K vibe overall. They don't use Instagram, they use the sun app. They don't use Spotify, they use Odeon. All of it is very Greek mythology inspired to keep in line with the series- it's great. Hot girls love history. Even mythological history. Anyway, here's the first of many Helios electronics coming your way. Introducing- The Apollo Sound Pad. Sure it kinda looks like an iPad but we don't talk about that! You'll find 3 music programs loaded up on it: Spotify, YouTube, & Odeon. Ain't much, but have fun with it anyway.

BRAND NEW K-MOD -> THE K-808 RELEASE -> FIRST WAVE
Its complete name ? k-808 ( Vista Mod )
its function ? The Vista Mod transforms every matte painting and distant background into something more natural, rich, and immersive. Now, the faraway horizons of your Sims’ worlds feel alive and textured—just as they should ... from our perspective ;)
How was it made ? We extracted the maxis matte backgrounds and we replaced with more realistic matte. All "simply" ... The complicated part is to find good materials and adjust the whole stuff
Why don't you release all worlds at the same time ? Because we didn't find yet all the materials needed and as we already working on the k-707, as there are only 24 hours in a day :D well, you see the point ;)
How to install ? Easy. The same way you install the other k-mods ( except the k-707 which is a bit more tricky ) We added pictures below ...
Will you release the stuff for all expansions worlds ? Yes for sure !
Today we release :
Basegame ( Willow Creek only, not Oasis Spring )
Seasons ( Newcrest )
Get to Work ( Magnolia Promenade )
Outdoor Retreat ( Granite Falls )
Discover University ( Britechester )
Life and Death ( Ravenwood )
Here an example of how we install our own mods and cc inside the Mods folder :
The files with -bg- into their names are related to vista view matte backgrounds and files with -gr- into their names are for all trees and plants matte paintings :)
Are you ready for a MUCH BOLDER PERSPECTIVE ?
THESE FILES OVERRIDE THE GAME FILES AND WORK FINE IN-GAME …
