New Pinup/Boudoir Inspired Poses

This new pose pack contains 10 new poses inspired by pinup and boudoir poses. Five of these poses were made with the "Stool of Decadence" high back barstool from Get Famous, and the other five were made with the "Romance Rendezvous" barstool from Lovestruck. The Lovestruck barstool doesn't have a back on it so those poses can mostly be used with any barstool that does not have a back.

A couple of these poses were made with nudity/partial nudity in mind. For instance, this one is made to be topless:

And this one I was thinking topless viewed from the front, or nude viewed from the back. I will just show topless from the back so that tumblr dot com won't hate me too much though:

Here is a preview of all 10 poses:

All poses include a preview image and description in game. Can be used with WW or Pose Player. If you use WW to pose, you can just have them sit on the stool and then pose them and they'll be perfectly in place. If you use the teleporter knight, place it directly in the center of the stool like this:

(Yes, I forgot to take pics of the teleporters in game so I did it in Blender instead, leave me alone lol)

Clipping may occur depending on size/clothing. Adjusting for personal use is always fine but, please do not reupload or claim as your own, and never paywall. If you have any issues, please let me know!

I really need to know why cc creators do this?

Like, it's fine, I fixed it, and I know a remarkable amount of people don't actually *play* the game, like gameplay, but why? a 4 and purposefully uncomfortable? this is a "luxury" cc item.

Thank you SO MUCH to @baufive who was kind and patient enough to explain how to fix this. I'm doing the same with refrigerators and other items as well.

That's what it looks like @baufive. A fix & explanation for it is in the replies here

2024 Wrap Up

Like every year, I've been very good at being very inconsistent. I had to go through Twitter and Bluesky to remember what I even did this year. lol Maybe now that Twitter is dead I can get better at posting on Tumblr instead. Here's some of the dumb and good shit I did with my sims this year. Thanks for the tag @ice-creamforbreakfast!

January Starting off the year just unhinged as fuck. Saltburn x The Sims 4. And this was before I could make poses. I had to just manipulate the hell out of some WW animations.

February Dolphins are dicks.

March The coolest child I've ever created, Harper.

April Binge watched a ton of Dynasty on Netflix and had to create a Dynasty-esque moment.

May Created my own poses to make a title card for my adventures with Harper.

June Happy Pride Month. San Sequoia confirmed most lgbtq world in Sims 4 with a spontaneous double rainbow during my femme love shoot.

July @surely-sims released a new dress just in time for my favorite wholesome family mom to enjoy for Spooky Day.

August Stuck with my favorite wholesome family for a while. They're just so cute and sweet. Really confused people on Twitter as I'm usually not a wholesome girly.

September Vanessa Jeong and Akira Kibo makeover. Moved Vanessa to San Myshuno too. She's a whole new girl now, still has a touch of teal though.

October Halloween with teen Harper and her boyfriend.

November Another townie makeover. This time the Fengs, inspired by a movie on Netflix.

December Fully back on my unwholesome bullshit just in time for the holidays. I've been turning Kyle Kyleson into a SimsHub superstar. Along with his roommate Robbie, better known on SimsHub as Throbbie (he's also dating Diego Lobo, seen below, also made over in a whole new image like Miss V Jeong).

Happy New Year! May my 2025 sims content be even more varied and unhinged.

I want to host my own BC/sim challenge

Every few months be able to share some recolors for Urban Decay

I like to keep my expectations low, so I generally don’t do resolutions. However, since my good sis @riverofjazzsims asked:

Simblr related: Except that my eyesight /dyslexia is getting worse and I need a better proofreading tool

Simblr adjacent: knuckle down and learn how to use the tools so I can create my YT LPs

Not really sure who hasn’t been tagged yet, but tagggggggg!

I was tagged by @jayveesim & @shesthespinstersimmer 💛 Thanks for the tags huns!

Oou, so many ideas, so little time but my Simblr resolution(s) are to:

  • Start a Legacy gameplay save (and actually let them be great & age) 🙃
  • Become a Build-Mode-Bae (I wanna be a builder so bad ya'll)
  • Bring my sim shenanigans to YouTube
  • Post Melo's life as an actual "slice of life" style story (I've got the title and everything, it's time to immerse and activate the writer bae side of my brain)

But most importantly, continue to allow this to be a no pressure type hobby. This side of the internet is supposed to be a relaxing, fun space and Imma keep it that way all 2025!

So, no pressure but I tag @soulthesimmer @ladygsimss @dejplays and @noir-pixels

tagged by @astoldbychae . ty!! 🥰

my Simblr resolution is to finish taking screenshots of my story for this new story I'm working on. I hope to return back to the hobby I enjoy which is playing with my digital people and telling their story.

tagging:

tagged by @noir-pixels and @loonaserena! Thank you 🥰

My Simblr resolutions are:

  • Stick to a schedule with my legacy posts more regularly.
  • Catch up on my friends' stories and remember to leave comments and likes.
  • Spell check before posting.

Thanks for the tag!

I have exactly two related resolutions and two related resolutions only.

  • Release at least one pose pack a month (except one or two months this summer when I'll be moving)
  • Learn how to use WW to call props for my poses because I hate adding pose accessories to outfits

How To Keep San Myshuno Clean?

Ok so you've done the work, you've gotten your San Myshuno all cleaned up so, how do you keep it that way now?

Unfortunately, I don't think there's a foolproof answer to this question yet but, I wanted to make sure I share some follow up info while we're on the subject. One of the things that appears to be causing the issue with things sticking is switching lots while festivals are active. While you're actively playing a sim who lives in San Myshuno, unfortunately, I think you're just really going to have to pay attention to the calendar. If a festival has already began, you need to stay in that zone until the festival has completely finished and disappeared. I'd even go so far as to say you should stay out of BB mode and CAS during this time. Once the festival is over, I'd also travel to a completely different world and then travel back. This has cleared up some items in the past.

Something else I'm in the process of trying out is using Zerbu's "Schedule Festivals Yourself" mod. You have to get through all of the festivals that are currently on the schedule but once you've gotten through a full "year" there will be no more festivals if you don't add them back yourself. I play with two week seasons and I originally put that mod in a little while back and I just double checked and I've just got to get through this final week of winter and then there's no more festivals on my calendar. If they can't spawn, they can't make a mess, right? And if I schedule them myself, they'll be far less frequent and easier for me to plan for.

Beyond that, there's a report on the EA Answers HQ that you can go "Me Too" here. Crinrict has also been tracking this issue, possible triggers, and possible prevention/solutions on their blog which you can check out here.

Cleaning Up San Myshuno with S4S

If you're having this issue where items aren't being cleaned up in San Myshuno, this tutorial can help clean it up!

Crin shared a tutorial over on Bluesky but, it's originally in German and not very straightforward so I've rewritten it here so it's a bit more step-by-step for people who may not have as much experience with S4S.

For this tutorial, you'll need to know the specific item names the game uses so first, here's how to find those. Open S4S, click "Object" on the main screen.

Now you'll filter by Category and Game Pack. I just wrote down some terms on a notepad to use later. Here's what you need to focus on though...all of the items spawned are from base game and City Living. They're all lights, chairs, sofas, and decor. Then there's also plants and food. I'm not going to do all of the different things, I'm just going to do one to show you what you need, they're similar enough you can find the rest.

So say we want the sofa names, we'll filter for Comfort, Sofa, and Base Game. Hover over the item to see it's full name.

The part of the name that I've outlined is what you need to make a note of. If you hover over all of them you'll see that they all have "sitSofa" in common, this is the piece you actually want to write down for later. Some others we'll need are lightFloor, sitLiving, sitDining, lightTable, foodPlate, foodBowl, foodFestival, foodGrip, and PlantBush. (I've only done Spice District so far, there may be additional terms for the other neighborhoods.)

On to cleaning San Myshuno now!

First things first, make a copy of your save file and paste it somewhere else so you have a backup, just in case!!

On the main screen of S4S, click the "My Projects" button. On the selection screen that opens, change the file type to .save in the lower right, navigate to your save folder, and choose your save file, and open.

Now, in the upper left, type in "data" and click filter, and then click the "Type" header to sort alphabetically. This is just to make it easier to find the piece we actually want which is the "Save Game Data" line. Click on it once to select it.

On the right hand side, scroll all the way to the bottom. Next to "zones" click the "Edit Items" button.

Now you need to search for your lot name. This part may be a bit of a trial and error. I chose the apartment lot that I had been playing and it didn't have the data I was looking for. The one I ended up needing was the 20 Culpepper lot. I'll explain how to know if you've picked the right one or not later on. For now, you'll type in your lot name in the filter box, select the line for it, and then scroll all the way down on the right hand side. We just need to copy the "zone_id" number.

Once you've copied this number, you can close the screen and return to the previous screen. Now, where we had "data" in the filter, we now want to paste the zone ID we just copied and filter for that instead. Now you'll select the "Zone Object Data" line that shows in the results. On the right hand side, scroll to the bottom again, and now you'll click "Edit Items" next to "objects" near the bottom.

On the next screen, you should see "ObjectList" on the left hand side. If you don't, this is what I was referring to earlier when I said you may not get the right lot on the first try. Yes, you may have chosen the correct lot that you were playing but, the object data we're looking for might not be tied to it. If that happens, you'll just need to try another lot in that neighborhood and keeping going until you find the one that does have the ObjectList. Once you have the correct one, you're going to click "Edit Items" on the right hand side.

Now this is the part where your patience is going to be tested. This is going to be very time consuming. It has to load a lot of data and therefore takes a lot of time loading the list, a lot of time filtering, etc. Just be patient.

In the filter box on the left hand side, you're going to start typing in keywords to find the items we want to remove from the neighborhood. I highly suggest typing your term somewhere else, and then copy and pasting it because the filter will begin to work as soon as you start typing and take way longer since it's going letter by letter. You're going to filter using the item names we found earlier.

I'm not going to lie, after filtering for my term, I've just been selecting all and then removing them and not taking the time to make sure every single item in that term result list is one of the items sitting in my neighborhood. I'm not sure the full extent of what is affected by this zone data so that's maybe not the best choice but, the apartment zone ID I'm using is an apartment I don't play so even if it's removing items from the apartment itself, I don't care. I also haven't seen this remove any of the world items that are supposed to be there all of the time. This is why we made a backup though! Be smart. Try your own path and then put your backup file back in your game instead if anything breaks. To select all though, just select one line, hit ctrl+a on your keyboard, and then click the remove button. Now, you'll paste your next search term in and repeat until you've gone through all of your terms. Again, this can be time consuming. Just be patient. Once you're done, click "Save" in the lower right.

You'll be brought back to the previous menu, click "save" there too, and then you'll be back to the warehouse screen, click "save" there as well to save your .save file.

Now, cross your fingers, open your game, and load into that neighborhood in the save file you were working on.

So, this is what I got after my first try. Pretty big difference. I was actually able to shift click and destroy the couch and lotus candles.

Before and After:

Here's basically what was left to clean up, I was able to shift click and destroy the crystals though, just forgot to take a new pic:

Played my game for a while so the next set of images don't line up exactly right but, I went back into S4S and removed some more things, and here's what I have now.

Huge difference. I just have some plates, plants, and some to go food left to clean up. I probably just haven't come across the names for those yet since it's just so time consuming. This is waaaaay better though and if your save file got even more built up than mine did, this could be game changing.

Let me know if you have any questions or if you figure out the name for the plants and plates I still need to get rid of!

***Update! I realized I had checked for an Object List in all of the Culpepper lots and the two non-apartment lots but hadn't bothered checking the Jasmine Suites apartments. Turns out 2B had an object list too! I just searched plant, plate, and foodGrip (this is some of the to go foods sims get from stalls) first to see and heck yes! Almost everything is completely gone now! So make sure you check alllll of the lots in the neighborhood. I would just start with one and do all the search terms though, see what's going on in game, and then go try the other lots back in S4S so you only have to search for the remaining items.

Most of the plates are now gone and all of the bushes are gone now but, the veggies from the bushes are still there. So close!!

What I'd Like To See in 2025

I originally posted this on Bluesky but wanted to post it here too and this time in a more organized manner and with pictures because sometimes I'm a yapper lol Actually, because I need to get it out of my head so I can stop thinking about it and free up some space for better things...like working on slutty poses. Anywho.....

On my day of Jeffmas, my true love gave to me...flame...flames...flames on the side of my face. Surprise, it's a bonus Jeffmas gift! In an attempt to appease the Shrimpmas mousse gods, an offering is presented today...another pose pack!

Today's pose pack is all about chilling on the couch. Annoyed by the singular straight backed way sims sit on the couch, I've put together 10 poses so your sim can hang out and watch tv or read a book. Perfect for a boring Wednesday afternoon. Three of the poses use the book accessory titled "Book Accessory - Left" by MelBennett which can be found here.

Here is a preview of all 10 poses:

All poses include a preview image and description in game. Can be used with WW or Pose Player. If you use the teleporter knight, place it directly in the middle of the couch. For best results involving the coffee table, the coffee table should only be one half tile away from the couch. Poses were built with the Basement Treasures couch but, you should be able to make these work with nearly every couch, and nearly any coffee table. Some are even suitable for use with a loveseat.

Clipping may occur. Adjusting for personal use is always fine but, please do not reupload or claim as your own, and never paywall. If you have any issues, please let me know!

If you're interested in learning how to pose, check out this tutorial from @surely-sims that I used.

Thank you to @vyxated for the RigPlus pose helper that I used to make these poses. You can learn more about that here. DOWNLOAD (Simsfileshare)

Some of Jeff's fabulous prawns have gone rogue and made additional Jeffmas gifts, so DAY 13 IS UPON US! Be sure to follow them and look out for some fun extras as the day progresses. Not all prawns have extras so be extra attentive and you'll find the contents of my grody stocking!

HAPPY JEFFMAS ALL....INCLUDING YOU, @surely-sims

A very Merry Christmas, Shrimpmas, and Happy Holidays to all of my lovely friends and simmers.

@surely-sims has broke her back in the past giving us Shrimpmas gifts each year. This year the elves of @jeffsshrimpmas jumped in to relieve her with some VERY cool BB, CAS, poses, and food to celebrate Jeffmas!

Mary Margaret Infamy went about posing using poses from @melbrewer367 and @adjusted-karma and wearing lovely gems from @ice-creamforbreakfast, @javitrulovesims, and @gilded-ghosts. Special shout out to @oaksimstudios for the deco trees and @icemunmun-spicy-scalpel for those so delightful jello molds.

You guys all rock - not just for these gifts but everything that you do. Thank you! Mary Margaret wouldn't be who she is without stunning things to show off and I wouldn't have the excuse to giggle at my sims as often as I do without the amazing creators who share with us.
