Sims 4 Traits and Mods

I figured it was time to separate my main blog content from my Sims 4 content, so here's the blog I made for the Sims 4 content!

hey i hope you are doing all right! i'm wondering if you are still planning to fix the tma traits?

At some point, yes. Life finds a way to get in the way, but I am determined.

Sorry about this ask, different anon. Is there any chance an old file for the Archivist trait is available to download anywhere? The old Drive link appears to be empty.

I’m working out how to update everything so it functions with the current game, but it’s probably going to end up requiring a complete remake. At the moment, I don’t think the trait would work in game.

Hi, thank you for responding to my question, I’m glad you are feeling better and please don’t feel the need to be sorry.

I look forward to possible updates

Thank you

Thanks! I’m going to do some research tomorrow on what’s new in modding and figure out what I can update and what I might want to redo completely.

Hello, I was wondering if your old TMA archivist trait works with the current build?

Thank you

Probably not. It’s on the long list of things I’ve been too depressed lately to update, but I’m feeling better enough to start updating soon. Sorry it’s been taking so damn long.

hey, i was wondering whenever your trait mod works with the newest ts4 patch?

You’ve reminded me that I really need to get my ass in gear and update stuff. It’s been a bit hectic lately, but I promise I will get to it sooner rather than later.

[sims4-vampiric-council]

If anyone's wondering, I haven't abandoned any of my current projects here. I've just been in the process of temporarily relocating overseas, so I'm jet lagged and exhausted and things have been hectic.

Here's another look at what you can expect in the next update.

[sims4-vampiric-council]

Progress report: The next update will include a social interaction for Sims with the Crowley trait who are also in the "Servant of Hell" career. Running this interaction will give them a moodlet based on the posters on the walls in Hell.

Good Omens Mod 0.0 (test run)

There's still lots to add, but it's playable and there's quite a bit to explore already.

[sims4-vampiric-council]

I've switched up some icons and some settings to space out the occasional buffs/moodlets better. I've also been adding some snake-related humor to Crowley.

[sims4-vampiric-council]

Some moodlets your sims can get from the Aziraphale trait.

Hey, look! I actually have gotten somewhere!

[sims4-vampiric-council]

hey will you add other gods to the percy jackson mod

Yes! I haven't been making many mods lately due to some technical issues, but I'm finally at a point where I think I'll be able to get back to it. Once I do, I'll be sure to add more to that mod (which I'll probably remake completely, if I'm being honest with myself).

[sims4-vampiric-council]

purely out of curiosity, what's the hidden trait that says a sims given a statement called?

I think it’s something to the effect of “has_given_statement,” but I’d have to have a look. I’ve been on a bit of a prolonged hiatus, so I haven’t been on top of things, but I am coming back (hopefully soon)!

[sims4-vampiric-council]

Just a little update on how things are going.

The bad news is, I still don’t have an external hard drive, so I don’t have the space for Windows on my Mac anymore. The good news is, I can get one soon.

I’m also still struggling to figure out how to code. If anyone has any pointers, I’d love some advice, but I can continue trying to figure it out solo. Once I do that, I can make the more complicated mods I’ve been dying to make since I started this stuff.

[sims4-vampiric-council]

Much as I hate to admit even a temporary defeat, I think I’m going to be taking an indefinite break from making traits/mods for the time being. Among other reasons, I simply don’t have the space on my computer and can’t really justify buying an external hard drive. On top of that, I’m on a Mac and maintaining Windows on my computer is costly and uses a ton of space. In addition, my main pet project was my set of Good Omens traits, but I’ve seen at least one other set and I don’t want to feel like I’m stepping on anyone else’s toes with my traits. 

I can say with certainty that I will return at some point. I’ve also been struggling a lot to figure out how to code and make more complicated mods, which has led to me feeling a bit like an idiot because I can’t seem to figure it out. 

I’m really sorry. I’ll try to get my shit together as quickly as I can, but I can’t say when I’ll be back. Hopefully soon. I just need to focus on other things right now. I doubt I’ll be missed much, which is actually kind of comforting. 

If anyone’s got any advice on how to figure out making more complex mods, I’d appreciate some pointers, but it’s all good. I’ll figure it out eventually. 

[sims4-vampiric-council]

Sorry for the serious lack of productivity here. I’ve been trying to learn code to make more complicated mods, but it’s difficult to do on my own and I’m still working on rebuilding the mods I lost months ago, which is most of them. Sadly. I will try to have something posted this week, though I can’t promise. I’ve been meaning to update you all for a while and I’m so sorry it took me so long.

But the important thing is, I’m determined to figure all this coding stuff out and I am determined to at least get some traits out in the meantime.
