A Quick Tutorial: Weird Shadows on Deco Sims.

Hi All! 

I have spent the last week AGONIZING over shadows that kept appearing on my deco sims creations. When I say I was nearly close to pulling out my hair and throwing my laptop out the window, I am not joking. 

Do you see them? For SEVEN DAYS I did nothing but cry over the fact that nothing I could do would get rid of those condescending little lines (I’m not bitter at all…). It was seriously the most irritating thing!

But as of an hour ago, I FINALLY CRACKED THE CODE! And I’m here to share my knowledge with you, because currently there seems to be no proper tutorial to help people solve this problem. So…I hope this helps other people from going as insane as I have in the last week. 

1. First thing to do of course, is to build your deco sim. I highly recommend the tutorials from both @melonsloth​ (Found Here) and Neutral Supply (Found Here). These are extremely useful guides! You’ll also have to make sure that your SSAO’s are set to 0. For that tutorial, click here. 

2. Once you’ve uploaded both meshes and shadow meshes into s4s, you need to go to the warehouse tab. 

3. Once in the warehouse tab, click on the Model LOD with the group ID 00010000. This is the first of your shadow LODs. Then click on the data tab there on the top right, and then click edit items. 

4. Scroll down until you see the ScaleOffsets section. Under that tab, click the Edit Items button in the Materials section. 

5. Click on the PosScale and change all the values to 1. Click save and the go back and do the same thing for the other two shadow LODs (Group IDs are  00010001 and  00010002). 

Then click save and test it out in game. 

TA DA! Success! 

I hope this tiny tutorial will prove useful to anyone who makes, or plans to makes deco sims in the future! Now you won’t have to pull out your hair like I tried to do all this last week (and yes….this means I will be sharing some decos with you in future)!

Now…back to preparing for the next chapter with our favourite Thornolians…

Once I stop crying with relief that is…

Whimsy Thrifts by SixamCC & Gryphi (Sims 4 CC Pack)

Introducing “Whimsy Thrifts” Sims 4 CC Pack a brand new collaboration with Gryphi!

This pack started with Gryphi’s amazing idea of creating a collection inspired by the unique treasures you stumble across while thrift shopping. We spent the last few months bringing that vision to life together, and we’re so excited to finally share it with you!

Every piece in this collection celebrates the charm of vintage furniture and décor, giving beautiful old finds a second chance in your Sims’ homes. This pack is all about capturing the personality, craftsmanship, and little imperfections that make thrifted treasures feel so special.

There are so many little details throughout the collection that it’s hard to know where to begin!

The Antique Hallway Table is one of my favorite furniture pieces. Its carved wooden details instantly add warmth and character to an entryway, living room, or bedroom, and it pairs perfectly with the elegant vintage mirror to create a cozy focal point.

Another favorite has to be the stack of books with the adorable duck-shaped bookends. It looks like something you’d find tucked away in the corner of a charming old bookshop, waiting for someone to give it a new home.

The Flower Lamp is another standout piece that I absolutely love. It feels like one of those incredible thrift store discoveries you can’t believe someone let go. Now your Sims can enjoy it too, adding a soft vintage touch and plenty of personality to any room.

Of course, that’s only a small glimpse of everything included. Every object was designed to mix and match beautifully, making it easy to create homes that feel lived-in.

We really hope you enjoy decorating with Whimsy Thrifts as much as we enjoyed creating it together. Don’t forget to tag both Gryphi and me if you share your builds. We’d love to see all the whimsy spaces you create!

This collection includes 22 items designed to add both function and character to your builds.

COMFORT: Bentwood Chair

DECORATIVE: Basket for your Stairs, Birdie Trinket Dish, Roll for Dexterity, The Goose, Mysterious Skeleton Key, Elegant Mirror – Horizontal, Elegant Mirror – Vertical, The Trinket Shelf, It’s a Thimble, Versatile Vase, A Fine Collection of Frames, Accordian Coat Hooks, Grandma’s Favorite Rug

LIGHTING: The Flower Lamp, Ornate Sconce

STORAGE: Duck Book Ends, Vintage Plant Stand

SURFACE: Bookish End Table, Antique Hallway Table, Keyhole Shelf

QUICK TUTORIAL: HOW TO CLONE MODS IN SIMS 4 STUDIO (So you don't overwrite my cc! (and then paywall it) )

Wanted to write a quick tutorial on how to selective clone a piece of cc. This is helpful if you're making versions of your own cc, and want to reference textures, or the whole item.

Take a copy of your file and paste it into the Mods folder located at: C:\Users\YOUR COMPUTER\Documents\Sims 4 Studio

Then give S4S a good restart so it can load in the file!

Then go ahead and hit Selective Clone if it is a piece of Build Buy, and Create CAS Standalone if it is a CAS part.

Filter by Content: Custom, and search for the item you want to copy! AND THE MOST IMPORTANT PART! Make sure RENUMBER is checked in the pop up! Otherwise it will OVERRIDE THE ITEM YOU'RE CLONING IN THE CATALOG.

⭐: Also! If you're cloning something that you want to share textures between items, this is where you can CHECK All Swatches, and UNCHECK Textures.

If you're cloning CAS it's a little easier! You can shift click the item you want to clone to grab all the swatches at once.

⭐ IMPORTANT! If you want the item to stand on its own in other people's games, and not glitch out because they don't have the original file, make sure to go to Tools > Modding > Embed all Externally Referenced Resources ! (For CAS only!!)

Extra tip! If you want to re-instance your own file and fix your mistake, you can drop your mod in the S4S mods folder and reclone it in the way I showed above to give it it's own entry in the catalog without remaking it entirely.

I hope that helps! Don't paywall your learning process! :-)

Blood Drunk - Glowing eyes for Vampires, Humans, and Werewolves (TS4)

I made these in like 2018 when I was obsessed with Bloodborne. These are very much inspired by the shattered-looking eyes people afflicted with Bloodborne's Beast Scourge have. They also glow a little.

Features:

Found in eye colors.

7 swatches!

Disabled for random.

Custom icons for each swatch

PROBABLY requires Vampires because I cloned these off a Vampires glowing eye. The Werewolf version requires Werewolves (duh)

Sorted after all my other eye sets

The Sims 4: Bridal Shop Stuff!

I finally finished the downstairs section of my beauty salon; my bridal shop!  

This set includes tons of deco pieces; logos, wall stickers, shopping bags, posters, bridal magazines, and some conversions as well!  Big thanks to Sandy from @aroundthesims for letting me convert her wedding dress rack from TS2/TS3 to TS4 and allowing me to recolor it as well :)

This completes my community lot bridal shop/beauty salon!  I was thinking about including the lot with this download, but I’m just going to upload it on the gallery if anyone wants it instead (long story short, I feel like I’ve been working on this forever, and I’m burnt out on it now and too lazy to do the tray files, haha.  If anyone REALLY needs them, send me a PM and I’ll post them up later :))

You can now download the lot from the download link!

Historical CC - Wild West Outlaw Duster Jacket

I love the duster jacket that came with Horse Ranch, but it's made for the male frame, and it looks terrible on female sims...I tried editing the mesh it, but I couldn't get it to work, so I just cobbled together a new one entirely. I wanted it to resemble this ensemble that I used to favor back when I was still trapped in alpha cc purgatory.

Anyway, this duster jacket/vest combo will surely look fantastic on the badass women in your Wild West town!

Stats: ♢ Basegame Compatible ♢ Color Tagged for All 28 Swatches ♢ Outfit Type: Everyday • Party • Athletic • Cold Weather ♢ Found In: Outerwear or Suits ♢ Disabled for Random ♢ Recolors Allowed (Don't Include Mesh)

Known issues: the outfit works fine with most boots, but extremely wide/clunky ones clip through the mesh on the legs. I am not going to fiddle with it any more than I already have, because all of the cowboy and cowboy-adjacent footwear is compatible.

Crocodile Tears 🐊 By Moontaart

This isn't my usual aesthetic but boy, do I stick to a theme! Inspired by exactly one (1) bodysuit I saw on Pinterest, things spiralled as they usually do into this very pretty and very punk 17 item collection. 🤘 I made some super cool pieces for this set like a micro skirt, thigh high boots, studded accessory belt, and pierced stilletto nails. 💅 Of course, there's the bodysuit too! Pretty much every item has extra variants, so if you're not a fan of the titular crocodile leather you can swap it out for a smooth shiny patent leather instead. Another win for my, at this point, chronic versatility requirements in every set! 🎉 As always enjoy, check out the extra previews under the cut, and be sure to let me know if you have any issues! Important Info:

There's 17 items in total

All items are Base Game Compatible

All items have 45 swatches

All items are tagged as Feminine

All items are enabled for Teen - Elder

All items have custom thumbnails

Bareback horse riding (CAS asset) out for download now!!

Thanks a lot for all your amazing feedback on my latest post!

I am happy to announce the release of my first CAS asset, which will allow your sims to ride their horses bareback (without a saddle).

The asset can be found in Create-a-horse-mode's saddle category, as it works just like one.

As of now, this version of the asset only functions in game for teens, young adults, adults, and elders. I am trying to make it work for children as well, but that might take me a while because EA uses a different system for them..

Since I don't know how long it will take me to include children in this (or if I'll even find a way, since I have zero scripting experience), I decided to release this first version for download today.

Feel free to contact me if you happen to experience any issues regarding this asset.

Terms of use:

Do not claim as your own.

Do not reupload. Please link to this post or to the .package on SFS/ Patreon/ Google Drive when sharing.

Do not sell or post my creations behind a paywall (no timed one either).

Credit/link to me if you intend to edit, replicate, or otherwise use this .package as a base for your own work.

Requirements:

The Sims 4 Basegame and Horse Ranch Gamepack

Although it is not necessary for the asset to function properly, I would highly recommend using @shoobysims's floating stirrup override for the best experience.

So those eyelashes, huh? Yeah. I'm doing EA's job for them again, this time replacing their godawful eyelashes with my own godawful eyelashes.

Like the EA ones, these are 100% fully meshed, there's no transparency whatsoever. I tried to match the vibe of the EA lashes, more or less, since these are default replacements. (But they're also available as standalone cc, if you don't want them to replace anything. You can have both the defaults and the standalones, but there's no need, since they're identical meshes and colors.)

I also went ahead and recolored them in all of the EA hair colors, just for some variety. I couldn't get makeup sliders working on them, but if I ever do I'll update. Available for both frames and genders. Works on trans sims as far as I can tell, but if you change gender options with the lashes equipped you may need to take them off and put them back on to refresh them.

The "-XtraColors" package is optional, and adds 20 additional colors in the same palette as my overlay minipack for a final count of over 40 eyelash colors.

These use the new eyelash slot, so if your game isn't up to date yet, well, at least you have something to look forward to.

And might I also recommend my eyelash begone presets, to remove the archaic chunky lash that comes with so many EA eye presets?
