A preset for Paralives already? Yes, I know! I'm that crazy person who can't live without ReShade. Judge me all you want, I'm good. 😌
This one is inspired by the all time favorite preset "Sumahama" by @/Wilderbees — hence the name "Parahama". 🥺
Made with ReShade 6.7.3
Install on Paralives for DirectX 11
DOWNLOAD: PATREON (FREE)
P.S. No DOF, MXAO or any other depth-based shader on this preset. I didn't get them to properly work for me yet.
Here (click) is a list of the shaders I select when installing ReShade, you won't be needing all of them and I'll put a screenshot below of exactly the shaders used in this preset, but with the link above you'll know in which pack they are - made it this way to make it easier for you to find everything!
SHORTCUTS LIST:
(on/off is for what it is by default)
(off) Fake HDR — Numpad 5
(off) Bloom & Lens Flares — Numpad 7
(off) Chromatic Aberration (Prism) — Numpad 4
(off) Vignette — Numpad 4
P.S — The preset is pretty gameplay-friendly with these 4 shaders turned off, I've been playing with it myself just fine! 🫶
Also try turning on/off "Monocular Cues" and see if you like it. It's a shader that I don't use all the time (it makes a halo effect around stuff), it can get tiring to look at sometimes.
PRO TIP: I always adjust the "BloomAndLensFlares" shader to my needs, which is where the magic of this preset lies. The settings I'm uploading it with may be too strong or too light for some cases, so it really depends on your shot. Just mess with the "fBloomThreshold" slider a bit and see what I mean and, if you're feeling confident, mess with the "fBloomAmount" altogether.
I'm going to play the hell out of this game. I'm about to be sick off myself. 😂 I legit had to pause and take a moment when I saw the train car is the household selection screen. So creative and charming! And the size of the world... yes! 🥹🥰
It's still quite empty, but I'm loving how it's turning out! This save is actually for the After Us Let's Play (can't quite call it a let's play but let a girl dream), I'm working on right now, I'd eventually love to play it on yt, but.. I've don't have the set up for a channel right now (at all lol).
Anyways, I'm thinking of turning Willow Creek, Newcrest and Brindleton Bay into one world I'm calling Pike's Bay, loosely based on the state of Wisconsin. I'll try to blend them all as best as I can for cohesiveness.
Hopefully I'm able to get more done! I'm definitely taking my time with this, it's good to slow down in the sims.
I cannot wait to show you my sims for this save!
Special Credit: Silent Pines is heavily inspired by and uses a very similar style to the stunning @windbrook savefile by @folkling, the gorgeous portsim savefile by @florwal, and the amazing builds by @moonwoodmillz. Thank you all for your hard work, I take a lot of inspiration from you all.
Silent Pines is a base-game only save file inspired by Life is Strange with 3 major worlds, a whole new set of townies, and a complete mystery to solve.
Version 2 contains;
Willow Creek as Silent Pines
Oasis Springs as Eclipse
Newcrest as Twilight Bay
DOWNLOAD, INFO, AND SCREENSHOTS BELOW
Willow Creek as Silent Pines
13 Community Lots
3 move-in ready homes for your sims
A total of 9 houses, 6 of which are filled with townies
18 households with jobs, story, and drama
A complete mystery to solve (should you want to) + The Mystery Update
Oasis Springs as Eclipse
11 Community Lots
3 move-in ready homes for your sims
13 households with jobs, story, and drama
Newcrest as Twilight Bay
10 Community Lots
2 move-in ready homes for your sims

I used S4Studio to rename all the worlds, and I've decorated all the neighbourhoods with T.O.O.L. As I said before, Silent Pines is completely base-game friendly, absolutely no packs or kits are used.
There is some custom CC, mainly posters that add to the story. The CC is one package file and adds nothing other than some customisation to the story. It is not required.
For example the missing poster of Cleo Emerson, a girl who disappeared under mysterious circumstances;
DISCLAIMER: Only Silent Pines (Willow Creek) has the mystery to solve; the other 2 worlds are just for playing in. Also, the 'Harris' household has been notoriously difficult to load into, for which I apologise. If you'd like to explore their house, please bring a sim to visit them <3

SPECIAL THANKS
A very special thanks to all my beta testers from both V.1 and now V.2, I really am very grateful for your help. You've been amazing!
And thank you to everybody who has waited for Silent Pines V.2 to come out. When I first started this save file, I had far fewer packs and really wanted to make a save made entirely out of base game that is as fun and cozy as possible. I hope that I've achieved that with Silent Pines, and that you all enjoy playing in this world!
I can't believe I had auto updates on 🤦🏾♀️ im BEYOND SICKK. I hope this doesn't corrupt my saves or tray files anything, otherwise I'd REAALLYY be sick. On the bright side everything in cas is broken 😃
hey! I had a couple attempts at figuring out a possible floorplan for the WIP you posted (I love the build btw). I think the tricky part is that since the front and backdoor are directly in-line with eachother, it's a little difficult to not cut off the "flow" of the house. Like, in the first option I suggested putting a dining room by the backdoor, but that might be an issue because it might block the door if you see what I mean. These are just a few ideas, feel free to use them if they're any good :)
Hi! I actually have tried a few renditions of the first one, with it opening into the living room, I've even tried putting the kitchen exactly as you did in the second but realized I forgot about the living room lol everything was just too open or weirdly closed but I'll definitely try these out! Thank you so much!!
Hey! It's Halle anddd I'm creating a mini save file series! I have a bunch of packs and never seem to get a whole lot of value out of them as I'd like. So, my plan is to go world by world (I'm probably not going to get through them all if I'm being honest....) and just creating my own little save!
A while back, I created the Wynn Household and recently gave them a a little makeover. I've started working on their home here and they'll be the first household I'll be starting the series with for San Sequoia. I may have wanted to start off with family gameplay since it's been a long time since I've played with a family household. It was just a switch up to the kind of sims stories I was creating, this feels fresh and a fun way for me to challenge myself with making a full save which I have never done, and a way for me to let loose, have fun with the game and add a little whimsy. I'll be sharing my progress and gameplay of course, building, the whole 9. It'll be funnn!
Now, I've actually been struggling with this floorplan for weeks it looks so simple I know but I just can't figure it out... so plsss help a sista out!

Build the Crib! – Baby On The Way Part 2 (Amazing Sims 4 Mod)
As part of my Baby on The Way series, I created a brand new mod called Build the Crib. This one has been in my head since I started to work on the series, and I really wanted it to feel meaningful for storytelling. Your Sims can now actually build the crib for their baby addionally to my first proposal to use poses to tell your stories.
This was honestly one of the most challenging things I’ve worked on a while. Getting the tunings, object actions, and states to behave exactly how I imagined took a lot of trial and error. There were moments when I thought, “Why did I decide to do this?” 😅 But I didn’t want to release it unless it worked the way I wanted.
The good thing is… the result is very nice. Seeing a parent Sim putting the crib together before the baby arrives adds so much emotion to the whole experience. It feels more real!!
ABOUT THIS SIMS 4 MOD:
This mod requires The Sims 4 Parenthood Game Pack to work.
It is not an override but I made changes so the original Parenthood object is not affected.
So technically, children can build the crib too if you decide to let them. That wasn’t really my original intention, but honestly, it’s a small compromise to keep everything working properly, and I’m okay with that.
The option to build the crib as a couple is available. However, in some situations you may notice a bit of clipping with the crib. It doesn’t break the interaction, but visually it can happen depending on positioning.
The fully functional crib is included as a separate item as well, so you can place it directly if you prefer without going through the building interaction.
------
I also want to give a huge thank you to my friend PandaSama. I asked so many questions about tunings and object actions. I really appreciate the support.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed finally seeing it work in-game. Let me know what you think, and please share screenshots if you use it in your saves. I can’t wait to see your nursery stories!
