Gameplay Overview

Your Sims will now generate laundry if their hygiene is low enough. This requires the Laundry Global Mod (offered separately from the objects) as well as a Laundry-related object being present on the lot.

Sims may store their laundry in a hamper. Sometimes automatically if it's close enough and your Sim is inclined to be neat....

Wash and dry your clothes: a variety of both historic and modern, manual and mechanical ways to wash and dry your laundry are included.

Tired of the laundry piling up? Simply place a "Laundry-Begone-Box" on your lot and your Sims will no longer generate laundry!

Laundry Global Mod

The global mod is the backbone of the laundry system. You will need it in order to have your sims produce laundry. As it is a Global Mod, it is in its own rar. The Laundry Mod also has various trait-related features for you to enjoy:

Support for the Nevernude, Neat and Slob trait

Support for the following custom lifestates: Ghost, Mermaid & SkeleBro

NEW: Support for @anachronisims' Nudist trait

NEW: Hamper magic! If your sims are neat enough, they may automatically put their dirty laundry in the hamper (if there's one in the room)

MAC-compatible!

You need to have the file "SunMoon-Laundry_Hamper_Wicker_Round-REQUIRED" in your folder in order for the global mod to work!

Washers, Dryers, Tubs and Lines

Your Sims may wash their laundry using a wide variety of both manual tubs and modern washers. Both of these require detergent to use. Of course, after your laundry has been washed, you can dry them using either a dryer or a line. Just make sure not to hang your laundry outside on a rainy day. Just a mall overview of the features offered:

Laundromat mode: run your own laundromat business at home or on a community lot! Sims will actually wash their dirty laundry! Of course, it works for visiting Sims too!

NEW: @anachronisims Big Spender Trait now effects the likelihood of a Sim using a laundromat machine

NEW: Stock your washer or tub with a detergent of your choice; no longer will you need an entire box of detergent for a small load, now one detergent will last multiple loads!

NEW: 2 extra detergents have been added. You can now choose between a Box or Bottle of detergent, Soap Solution or even a Baggy of Soap Nuts!

NEW: The fabulous @jellymeduza has created a fantastic little ceiling rack for drying your laundry

NEW: Many more washers and dryers straight from the Sims 3 and 4

NEW: Modern laundry detergent vendor. You can still access any laundry product still despite its looks.

Custom sounds and animations: not only does laundry come with custom (Sims 4) animations courtesy of @mortia, there are also some custom sounds!

Color Controller

This set also comes with a "Color Controller". This object allows you to choose the look of not only your newly-spawned laundry, but also how the fabric on your drying lines looks like! Use only ONE per lot.

Bonus

Another new feature is the (optional) support for @lazyduchess Laundry token: players with FT installed, have the option of downloading his laundry mod and getting the same slower motive decay for comfort when changing into different clothes using our fresh outfit object. Players without FT and/or this token will get a small bonus to the comfort motive instead. This is NOT available for MAC-users! You will need the following files from his mod should you want this feature:

Yep, it's a fact, I helped with the European Portuguese translation for this Fetch Water update, and I'm so glad to have done so, if you notice any issues with it, please feel free to contact me.

Fetch Water - Updates, Optimization and Localization

Fetch Water has been updated and not only does this update come with bug fixes, it also with some nice new goodies!

Fixes

Fixed Seasons Wells flashing blue

Fixed some GUID issues affecting Barnyard Bash

Minor optimization

NEW

Added localization for the following languages: Dutch, EU Portuguese

There is a new water bucket variation available: the water basket:

Many indigenous peoples in the Americas, especially on the North-Western coasts (stretching from Alaska all the way down to Northern California), made and used tighly-woven baskets to store water. The basket shape we used in this case, most resembles watertight baskets woven by the Haida people, residing in Haida Gwaii, an archipelago off the coast of Western Canada. Many thanks to June (junipermeadows) for cultural consultation

The Haida Wicker basket requires the dining chair from Basket Weaving. Please remove ALL old files before updating.

Around the Sims 3 Update | Ilona likes IKEA: the bedrooms

I’ve been intensively busy at working on this set (and so I’ve been quite absent of Tumblr!), and no, the Ikea theme isn’t over yet, I hope you don’t mind! :p

So today, you’ll find more furniture for the bedrooms (I had already released some beds here), like dressers, end tables, also a simple MALM drawer to put under the bed, or a Hemnes daybed to “build”, so you can use it as sofa or as single bed. Plus a cushion in 24 variations.

Ahaha, why do I always make TONS of things, all the time?! *lol* I often find great updates over the web with just one or two objects, and it’s perfectly fine. Am I overwhelming with my “MORE stuff!!” mania?

(I’ll try to catch up a bit with all your fabulous Tumblrs during the week-end!)

I don’t tend to reblog a lot of things these days, but this is too exiting not to reblog

Also glad to hear that @amberdefault @fakebloood and @suratan-zir are also back, this shouldn’t have happened in the first place, but I am glad to see their blogs back

Honestly, I’ve been thinking about that possibility for a while now, and it would be awesome if I could figure out doing something like that, but I don’t really know how to do that.

The Coffeesmith Project - Mod Blend º1 - Barista Plus

Hey long time no see, how is everyone doing! So this was something that was on the works for a while before It evolved into it’s own mega project, So for those that don’t know, I’m a bit of a coffee appreciator, and I like to have options for my simmies, so it became a separate project of its own. Mod Blends are just that - Mods that enhance the experience of having some of these objects within your game, as I’m about to show you, right now this is the only Mod Blend, but depending of how much I start to mess with things, others will come in the future. So, what does Barista Plus do?

Well, why don’t I show you.

this is a version of the Game without Barista Plus

this on the other hand, is a version of the game with Barista Plus In a nutshell, it allows for custom espresso bars to spawn their own Baristas in unowned community lots!!!! It has been something that has been bugging me since I found out that custom Espresso Bars didn’t have this functionality. But why didn’t they work, you might ask. Short Version: EAxis’s Spaghetti Code at it again. Long Version: It’s not that they didn’t work, they clone just fine, however, the Barista NPC Template has this unique BHAV called “Get My Stand”, basically this BHAV is the one that does the detection for the espresso bar, and io and behold, it only detects one GUID from the Uni Espresso Bar, nothing else, hence why none other custom espresso bar couldn’t spawn a Barista.

So what this does is expand the number of GUID’s the BHAV can detect, which allows for them to fully function in an unowned community lot. Right now, it detects: -Around the Sims 2′s Tea Shop Cart -Vitasims’s Victorian Tea Espresso Cart -linegud’s Elegant Espresso -All Espresso Bars I’m about to release. “But wait!” you might ask “are there any Free GUIDs I can use that are natively compatible with Barista Plus” Of course there are, I saved some from my GUID book specifically for this: 0x0093BBF0- 0x0093BBF1- 0x0093BBF2- 0x0093BBF3- 0x0093BBF4- 0x0093BBF5- 0x0093BBF6- Feel free to use any of them, but please do give me a heads up when you use them, I don’t want people taking GUID and accidentally making objects conflict. How to use them: Make it the GUID for the 0,0 Object Data, that’s it, that’s as simple as that. If you know of any other espresso bars on the wild or if you have your own already on the works with GUIDs and anything, please do tell and I’ll update the mod accordingly. And without further ado: Download Hope you enjoy it! Version Status: 1.0 - Initial Relase Special thanks: MidgeTheTree for setting me in the right direction, Fireflower, Frac and probably a lot of people from The Keep who gave me help and support for doing this.

Oh Hi, I  almost forgot this was here.

Okay, so i’ve been away for a while (what, 4, 5 years...), at least on Tumblr, i’ve still been showing up on some forums, Mostly The Keep, where i use my old moniker of Sonikku3, The Sims Daily, been there for the last days, will be missed and a couple more here and there, so I wasn’t away, away, just slightly inactive

I have been posting on the Keep for a while, my livejournal has recieved updates, although not as daily, and I haven’t been making as much CC as i’d like, And as much as i’d like to say I want to start doing thins again, it’s probably going to be in small spurts

Probably it will be more sims 2 focused, might go back to 3 CC someday, Sims 4 in not out of the realm of possibilities, but my relationship with that game is... I don’t want to say complicated, but for a lot of features it moves two steps forward, it goes 3 steps back on others... and it just miffs me in a sense, I want to like the game, but then I do get nitpicky with things, oh well, Seasons are coming i’ve seen

i’l probably make a more general tumblr for other games and stuff, and another one for my endeavors as a game dev (been studying game design in college folks, for those of you who’ve been wondering)

other than that, i’ve been doing fine, so, yeah, i’ll be seeing you around
