the crest harbor save is paused for now, as i was using CAW in those saves so i need to wait for an update

in the meantime, now that TOOL and For Rent are working, i have been playing around with something else :D

added it to the download folder :)

it uses the tuning for the nano-can, so you'll receive simoleons for your trash

note: sims are able to throw garbage away, and the cabinet will animate, but they won't actually route *to* the trash can first; they just sort of chuck it into the abyss. whenever i try to add constraints to the interaction, the sim can no longer throw away trash, so i've left it as-is for now. trash cans do not like to be edited apparently, and changing any little bit of tuning can make it stop functioning altogether. (if anyone knows how to force sims to route with the trash, please let me know!)

also you'll notice the cupboard is slightly darker than the others. it's using a different shader, because the counter shader prevents the animation from playing. another annoying little thing i'm not sure how to fix

it's far from perfect, but i hope you get some use out of it!

hiya! maids and repair men are already on the phone - you can find them under the 'hire a service...' menu

& i do have it on my to-do list to add odd jobs. will do that in the next update

as prank calls have their own animation, i'm trying to learn more about animating in TS4 so I can improve the existing (admittedly iffy, what with the feet sliding all over the place/the phone not properly 'attached' to hand) animation, and add new ones. i made the functional phone pretty much on a whim at someone's request, just to see if i could do it - it's my first functional object and i didn't expect it to get quite as much attention as it has. i really want to 'polish' it up now though

i dislike the fact that the sims use the same short, non-looping animation for each of the interactions, and i'm wanting to add variety/speech bubbles. still have a lot to learn though! animating with an object is a lot harder than just making poses with an accessory, something i learned the hard way.

so whenever i get to a point i'm happy with animating-wise, i'll be updating the phone with prank calls, flirty calls, etc.

and since i'm rambling about it: i also want to add a little feature where sims can get angry at the ringing phone, stomp over and answer it in a temper. i want sims with the socially awkward trait to become tense whenever the phone rings. i also need to add a test set to fix the fact that you can ring up any sim at 3am with no consequences. and a '{0.SimFirstName} didn't answer their phone. Maybe try again later?' option for variety, as it breaks immersion a bit to have sims answer their landlines 100% of the time

basically a lot of little QOL updates now that i know a bit more about tuning. i've got a massive sticky note on my desktop about it

also i'm taking suggestions for custom drama nodes (the actual pop-up calls you get when the phone rings) because i've had it up to *here* with the Landgraab Power Company

it's from my Nostalgia Living pack: link. the hands of the clock spin slowly in live mode :)

somehow i left it off the individual item index, apologies!

hi! the only cc i've ever run across like this is by scodee yodee, here

if you're looking for something more maxis match, there are 5 in-game roads you can access in S4S as well! just tick the debug box and search for 'road'. customizing it should be as simple as doing a recolor of the texture

i will be editing those roads eventually for my save but i haven't gotten around to it yet

i haven't made a proper frame yet, but currently the bed should work with any simple mattress. the one from Syb's Cheap & Chipped set works nicely

here's one i just whipped up real quick using the mattress from the basement treasures kit, if you want it!

it should also work with any bedframe that doesn't have a footboard, but you'll have to play around with it

yep! include cc in builds, include mesh in recolors, copy tuning, do whatever you like with my stuff :)

If google drive is the problem and you need me to reupload them to a different hosting site, just lmk!

anon... i actually made this already

i literally thought to myself "wow no one would want this. this is too niche" and removed it from the file

i stand corrected

everyone knows you can't come back without gifts after a year+ long hiatus. that's just basic hiatus etiquette

and thank you for your kind words anon <3 i hope you're right. my mental health is... variable, and it's been impacting my ability to be creative. really hoping i come out on the other side of it soon. there's so much cool stuff i want to learn/make and share with the community

unfortunately the inside of my brain is just the elderly Steve Rogers "No, I don't think I will" meme 90% of the time

Nostalgia Bathroom

hello! long time no see :)

I was building a house and needed awful 1990s builder-grade stuff. I might add more objects, this is just what I've got so far
