#graveyard mod

[chippedcupanddustybooks]

Two small mod updates These updates are not patch related! I just fixed some small issues I stumbled upon while checking my mods. Paws & Claws - Happy Hoppers Module - fixed an issue that caused domestic rabbits to spawn in wild rabbit homes Graveyard Mod - Core Mod - fixed an issue with the Graveyard Keeper not spawning the custom NPC - fixed 2 small issues with the notification of the “Kick Tombstone” & “Ask for Advice” interaction not showing up correctly - fixed a rare error that could happen if you left the graveyard right in the moment when the witching hour was triggered I’m still investigating the rare issue that 1-2 people reported where they couldn’t load into the graveyard venue. If you have this happening in your game please send me the LE. I can’t replicate the issue in my game so I want to make sure it’s not an installation error. The “bug” with the build buy cheats reported in the broken mods list forum post is NOT caused by my mod - this is apparently a new game bug from the latest patch - my mod doesn’t touch those resources.

Graveyard Mod - (Update V1.5)

I made some changes to the graveyard mod and added some new things. Down below you can read more about the changes that come with this version.

New - The Graveyard Keeper sells Flower Bouquets and single flowers in addition to the Flower Arrangements now - There is a new interaction available on urns and tombstones to place a gift nearby

Tweaks - I split the String Table into the different modules and decided to create a new string table for each update from now on so it will be easier for translators to translate the mod - I renamed the packages so delete the old ones since these new files won't override them - I set the pie menu priority of the graveyard pie menu to be higher so it should show up before other interactions Fixes - I fixed an empty thumbnail in the interaction queue while kicking a dummy tombstone - I fixed a notification that wasn't displayed correctly - Flower Arrangement now don't look wonky after being bought

PS there is also an optional package that fixes the flower arrangment prices (so they don't cost 1$) that I still need to make a post for but if you're interested in grabbing it as well you can download it here for now. It overrides the catalog resource of the flower arrangements so it might conflict with other mods that override the arrangements.

Patch 1.89 Mod Status & Updates I checked and updated my mods for the patch. Please read down below for more information. Updated (to add new Sim Filters for the new pack) - Happy Haunts Graveyard Mod - Paws & Claws - 03: Animal Shelters - Lively Towns - M01: Arts & Crafts - Lively Towns - M02: Books - Lively Towns - M03: Flowers - Wedding Tweaks: Pets ad Flower Pals IMPORTANT INFO Some users of the Paws & Claws M02: Happy Hoppers are currently experiencing issues with rabbits going missing. I'm aware of this issue but it's not a quick fix and I'm redoing the module from scratch anyways so it's currently NOT supported. I removed the download link for now. For people who have already downloaded it - it won't break your game but rabbits might vanish and can't be recovered so be aware of that risk. All mods not listed above have been checked and are compatible with the patch.

Additionally it adds a new paranormal module with new gameplay! Please read the note about the script in the change log - I renamed the Script! (DELETE THE OLD ONE)! A detailed list of the changes can be found down below: Core Fixes - fixed Object tags so Urns and Tombstones from the Vampire pack should be available in the purchase pickers now - removed two empty debug interactions from showing up on Tombstones - Seances Circles will now be cleaned up once the sun comes up or you load onto the lot during the day - Enabled the "Kick Tombstone" interaction on EA tombstones Tweaks - added a notification to the special outcomes of the "Kick Tombstone" and "Ask for Advice" interaction to make what's happening easier to understand  - Cleaned up & changed some parts of the mod structure to get rid of unneccessary resources - Renamed the Script!

- added a serenity level to the Graveyard Lot (Important: You need to change the venue type to something else and back for the serenity level to be applied to a graveyard venue placed before this update) - Added the Chance for Specters to spawn (type of specter depends on serenity level) - Added the chance for accursed objects to spawn (depends on serenity level) - the serenity level can be influenced the same way as it does on haunted houses - Added a new Ghost Hunter NPC (no special NPC this time - any Sim in the paranormal investigator career can be picked for this role). The Ghost Hunter spends their time interaction with Specters, Ghosts and cursed Objects and will help you bring down the serenity level Download here

Ghost Overhaul - Progress summary Like promised yesterday here is a summary of the WIP sneak peeks I shared on Twitter. Pictures and details under the cut:

With the help of Pandasama I was able to fix the ghost teleportation animation and this is the final animation I ended up with:

I tweaked the motive bars some more and ended up with these dark blue colored version. I also added a description and icons to both new motives.

To allow human Sims to see ghosts I started working on 2 new features. A holiday tradition that will allow all Sims to see ghosts during the day of this holiday and a reward trait that enables the ability the ability to see and interact with ghosts (and specters) in general.

The last thing I started working on are two new abilities: "Cause Nightmare" and "Visit in Dream". Depending on the type of ghost you want to play you can either torment the living or give them a nice comforting dream. Both interactions drain your spectral energy but increase your spiritual connection.

Ghost Update

I haven’t shared these sneak peeks on Tumblr yet so here they are. I added two new motives for ghosts: Spectral energy Spectral energy is used for using special ghost abilities and for trying to interact with humans or certain objects. It can be recharged by resting in their grave or by draining energy from plants & Sims (warning this will have consequences...). There will also be potions and some other things to fill up the motive more quickly. Spiritual connection Spiritual connection is what keeps the ghost in the world of the living. If it drains completely the ghost will be permanently banned to the Netherworld. The spiritual connection is strenghened by Sims remebering the ghosts (e.g. mourning them on their grave) or by making the Sims remember the ghost by haunting and tormenting them (depending on the type of ghost you want to play). New Abilities I’m currently working on a teleport interaction for ghosts. The VFX and animation still needs some tweaking but the base is working. It will drain the spectral energy.
