Poly reduced - Nightcrawler Meliorn

From 20,683 poly to 9243

Some strands were yeeted because barely noticeable, I don't think miniscule bitty pieces are worth an additional 2k poly :3 As you can see in the picture, recolors may look a tiny bit different on the sides due to one of these strands being yeeted. New alpha included for recolorists.

Gummi tweaks stuff - Bakery Rustic Rack

I do a lot of mini tweaks/fixes of CC for my own use, and sometimes I think they are possibly useful to someone else. Like today, when I fixed a couple of things on Veranka's lovely rack from her deliciously indulgent bakery set.

The slots are not quite aligned with the shelves, and as you may have heard, I cannot with floating. Unless it comes with a wizard practicing a levitating spell 24/7, it's not allowed 😁

The slots are also duplicated for each tile, so that objects want to go on them twice, which I find a little exhausting in using the object. I have tweaked the shelves a tiny bit to align with purple omsp heights, set the slot height to be correct for the mesh, and I split the slots so that those that are on the right are on that tile, and slots that are on the left are on that tile. No more duplicating, huzzah.

It has recolors so definitely go grab those from the original upload if you did not have it already, not to mention all of the other cute items of the set :) Remember to remove the original rack file if you already had it. Note that slot adjustments cannot take effect until the item is removed from lot and then rebought, so if you had existing placements you want to update, you have to delete it first and buy a new one. Annoying, but such is CRES life unfortunately :3

Mesh edit - MDP's 4t2 EP03 Hoodie & Dee's TM age conversion

I am obsessed with this hoodie-jacket combo! But the normals were grumpy and I really cannot stand that, so off to fix it I went :3

I fixed the AM and then used WSO's to restore morphs and also make a teen version. I did not do elder because to me this is too young of an outfit to suit the elders in my game.

If you did not already have this and you want the recolors, the originals are by MDP which you'll find here. Deedee converted the recolors to TM and EM, which you can find here. And Kairisu made additional recolors (which is what I used in preview), that you can grab AM versions here and TM versions here.

Download AM fixed mesh

If you prefer May's alternative AM fat morph, I made that for a friend so I figured I'd post that as well. You can download it here, you can only have one AM version.

Download TM fixed mesh

If anyone uses this default by ello-sims, you can grab a fixed version here.

Scuse me, the heck are normals Gummi? (asked no one) They are information telling the game how to reflect light off the item. When they are wrong, you get artificial shadows in weird spots and it drives me nuts 😅

Minicule's arethabee Elena Top Mesh Edit

Another small edit I did for my own game, that I thought I'd share :) @miniculesim did a 4t2 conversion of a top by arethabee called the Elena top, and it is quite cute! There were some normals issues around the hems that I wanted to fix, they are tricky sometimes but I am stubborn when it comes to sorting them out 😊

If you too use this summery top and the shadows bother you, you can grab my fixed mesh here. It comes in all morphs, just like the original. If you do not already have the shirt and you would like to get it, you'll need to grab the recolors from minicule's original post.

SimSlice Beer Keg Update

Why should only we get to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Sims? Nah, the Sims themselves should get to enjoy turning 20 too! :) And what better way than to revive this popular old object that lets our Sims' get drunk and perhaps make some stupid decisions! Bring on the party!

I have made three changes 1. The beer keg is now refillable, like my refillable fruit punch barrel, so that you don't have to keep going into buy mode to buy a new one every time it runs out

2. A much needed family check has been added to romance interactions. I enjoy mistakes, but that is not a type of mistake that I want in my game. Flirts and engagements can now only happen with non-related targets. 3. Because simslice was paranoid about people cloning their object, they intentionally made the object hard to read. I have gone over all the bhavs, renamed them by standard naming conventions. This doesn't functionally make any difference, but if anyone would like to further improve this object, they will have an easier time of it :)

Download on Simfileshare

For those unfamiliar with this object, it is essentially a clone of the game fruit bunch barrel, but that is more adult-minded and interprets the drink as alcoholic and makes your Sims act drunk. They may throw up, they may start fights, they may flirt or propose to a Sim, and various other social interactions. They drink, they act up :P

Credits: Simslice for the original object, Rachums/@kashmiresims who gave me the idea to add refillability and family checks :)

This was part 2 of my Anniversary Gifts, find the rest here!

Pescado's clothing tool lets you change to currently worn outfit

A very niche thing, but if you ever use the clothing tool, you might have been irritated by the fact that it greys out the currently worn outfit. So if your sim is in everyday, and you changed their everyday, it forces you to switch to something else first and then back to everyday. There's really no need for that, the game can handle it just fine if you switch to the same one. I decided to fix this for myself, and I thought perhaps it would be useful for someone else.

Download from simfileshare

If you are unfamiliar with this tool, it is pretty handy but there are some quirks. This is what the Directors Cut manual has to say.

clothingtool.package & clothingtool-globals.package It's a clothing tool. Lets you buy new clothes for your sims in all categories with a single command (and inflated price premium!), and snarf career and special-event (wedding, graduation, etc.) outfits worn by your sims for use in the "Plan Outfit" dresser, plan all of your outfits at one click (after aging!), as well as gives you one last shot to plan your outfits before returning home from college (if global override hook included in zip is installed) so that your sims do not return to the family bin looking like hobos!

If you are new to this, please note that globals-package will automatically trigger choosing outfits for your YAs upon graduation. Choose wisely if that is something you want :)

Updated Inge Table Counter Controller

I am a big fan of Inge from simlogical's table and counter controller, it is a wonderful tool that helps us guide our Sims to make smarter choices about where to eat or place food. I love that I can have a breakfast nook that is actually used for breakfast, and a dining room that is used the rest of the day. But this specific home above proved beyond the tools ability, as it treats island counters the same as ordinary counters, and my Sim kept blocking his own breakfast spot by using that counter to place the group meal. Off to fix it I went!

I have added four additional functions to the controller:

Island counter surface use setting is now separated from ordinary counters, for scenarios like the one above where you want to stop your Sims from blocking an eating spot by using it for storage

Enable all/disable all option added, for those cases where you want to quickly turn off all options, for example on outdoor tables during winter.

Added alternative object model shapes, for greater variation and to better suit outdoor use.

UPDATE: Whoward from @picknmixsims has modified this object to make the cut offs for meal times more user-edit friendly. It is now defined by a BCON on the controller object, and can easily be edited by you to determine what the cut off should be for the parts of the day.

I have added a "Times" menu with the hours for each category listed, to help you remember what the cut offs are, for those of you like me that aren't good with remembering numbers. UPDATE: Now made dynamic by Whoward, so that it'll pick up and display whatever you set the hours to be.

I have only edited two out of the three necessary files, but all three are included in the download for the sake of convenience. If you had the controller previously please make sure to delete your old versions of "ijTableCounterController" and "ijCounterControllerPatch". Previously placed controllers will retain their settings, as long as you do not load the game with no controller in downloads. If this object is completely new to you, I recommend you check out Inge's original upload to learn more about how it works :)

Download from simfileshare (Has Inge's original meal time cut offs, as shown in the picture above. Note, there is a typo in afternoon, it should be 11-16) Download Ver 2 from simfileshare (Makes use of Picknmix edit to alter meal times to better reflect what is common where I live. Set to Breakfast 5-10, Lunch 10-16, Dinner 16-22, Night 22-05. I encourage you to edit and set what you want, but I know some people are not comfortable so I decided to add a version with hopefully more realistic cut-offs)

Original object was BG compatible I believe, but various models I chose are from later EPs/SPs so I recommend having all games to use this.

Credits: Inge, whoward at picknmix for the updated version and kindness in letting that version be shared here to make it easier for downloaders, and all his help that have enabled me to learn enough to understand Inge's original code and figure out how to adapt it. Thanks to all the great CC makers of things visible in pictures. If you wonder where something is from I am happy to see if I can find it.

Merged Potty Fixes and Potty Use Bin

MogHughson’s potty use bin mod conflicts with twojeffs potty fixes, and it’s the kind of conflict where load order can’t make them place nice. If you load twojeffs last, Mog’s will be ignored completely, and if you load Mog’s last potties will get dirtier and dirtier and stink up the room and cleaning them won’t help. So I morphed the two into one so that you get the benefits of both without the stinky room problem. As per how potty fixes is set up, there is one for Basegame to FT, and one for AL and above.

ToddlerPottyFixesBG-FT+MogsUseBin

ToddlerPottyFixesAL+MogsUseBin

Known problem: If there is no trash bin to put the potty bag in to, the bag will simply vanish and the Sim’s arm will continue to be outstretched. You can fix this with batbox, or deleting the sim with moveobjects on activated and saving and re-entering lot. This is a problem with Mog’s original coding, not something I did. So make sure you have a bin present if you want to use this.

Original mods: Twojeffs found here, and MogHughsons found here.
