I made Queen of Hatred CC for TS4

This one was certainly harder than Knight of Depair. XD

She’s probably my least favourite magical girl (I still love her though) but I didn’t feel like making King of Greed at the time, so she’s going to be next.

Here’s the link if you want to download: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1HXssoCxxpiLwCrABgwcSvMiWVipTett5

Some of the meshes are from expansion packs, so it’s possible that those won’t show up if you don’t have the respective packs.

I had a a better hairstyle for her but it was someone else’s cc and since I couldn’t find it on the internet again I couldn’t check if its creator would mind me editing and redistributing it, so, I sticked with a hairstyle from the base game.

You can find:

- The hair - in the long hair section

- The eyes - in the face details section

- The top - in the blouse section (may require “Get Together”, if you managed to install this without having the pack please tell me)

- The skirt - in the short skirt section

- The shoes - in the high heeled shoe section

- The socks - in the sock section

- The Tattoo - in the tattoo section

- The bracelet - in the bracelet section

You can find this sim on the Sims gallery, if you don’t want to make it yourself. Just make sure you have the mods installed. I’m PieRatie there, but if you have trouble finding me you can also search by Knight of Despair (mine should be the only one, I believe). Don’t forget to cross the “show custom content” option when searching.

The skin wasn’t made by me, so you may need to find it somewhere else.

I was bored so I made Knight of Despair CC for TS4

I’m really happy with how it came out. I may make the other magical girls some other day.

Here’s the link if you want to download it: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1K4l9a1kxA6cpRvnMjxg5KTsMXGYc_SoU?usp=sharing

All of the meshes used in these were from the basegame, so it must work for everyone.

You can find:

- The hair - in the long hair section

- The face and arms - in the tattoo section

-The dress - in the long dress section

I couldn’t make the horns, the tiara nor the veil because I don’t how to model XD. So if you want to make those, you’re more than welcome to do so. Then please tell me so I can update this.

I'm giving up

I guess i'll need to wait till the next update to fiz my mods folder so i'll be able to play with the CC and Mods I like, might look like i'm whining over nothing but the fact that none of my CC or Mods are being reconized bt the game is saying something. It shouldn't be happening AT ALL and it never have, I just needed to update a few mods and my cc would be working regardless!!

I’m gonna try streaming some Minecraft later

When I get the little ones to bed I’m gonna try streaming some Minecraft. I have a paid survival server setup w/ Fabric and some mods.

The other night I ran through the nether and portaled into an arctic biome. I made a house, died, and corpse walked back to the arctic house. It wasn’t as far as I expected so I kept pushing north then got lost and found a broken portal that I rebuilt.

If anyone knows how to make a map of the server any help would be appreciated.

Quarterly Evaluation Time, Seed

No need to be scared, you are doing great so far.

The Definition of Insanity

One day, this shall be a proper edit. Today, it is just a sketch with Bostaci scaring the living shit out of Jacop (by dropping a sick album?) I mean, look at him, bro can literally turn off the sun. Anyone would be rightfully horrified.

Randomly found this photo of Adam and Steve in my files.

More Cut Content

So there is Pratt’s dialog during a deleted “time-lapse” at the St. Francis Veteran’s Center.

And here is the animation that was supposed to be played (no facial animation tho, sorry) that I found from game files.

Also, here is some Jojo posing from Jocop

Or maybe bro thinks he is Phoenix Wright? (channeling his inner lawyer John Seed?)

Or he is just completely lost at this point

We Were Robbed!!!

It seems like Staci has another animation where he is reading a book instead of just sitting on a chair (demonstrated by poor bastard Jacop).

WHY WOULD THEY EVER CUT IT AWAY????? LOOK AT THAT LEG CROSSING OMG.

How The Turn Tables

Fuck around, and find out. Everyone has their limits

Oh no, the tables have turned. Again.

Meet Cartel Boss Staci's twin brother:

Mob King Stacy.

Yes, their parents named them Staci and Stacy. They also refused to elaborate further.

Assassin's Pratt

Bro decided to challenge a bear (as per usual).

Then bro decided to pose on a mountain.

We work in the dark, to serve the light… but in the end, all are blind.

Priest(ess) Pratt

Trying different face makeups for my sweet boi

This one looks cursed.

So here is a cute crying bebe to cleanse the palate.

Anastasia Medarda

All hail the Peach Rose Queen!

Estacio Prado & His Dog

Just a humble cartel boss with a dirty bastard on the payroll.

Deputy J. SEED

Finally got the correct nametag for our deputy Seed!!

Good Cop, Bad Cop, Ugly Cop?

@gunpowdernlead said "he actually looks like a cop now" to this haircut. Thus, here is some brutal-manly-man-cop-police-officer Staci Bratt for you people:

And here is a less brutal-manly-man-cop-police-officer Staci Bratt

Important Question

Ok, guys, let's settle this down. Which Seed brother's beard looks best on Staci?

John's

Jacob's

Joseph's

Jacob's in original color (CUZ WHY NOT?)

Next John Wick?

Yes, I did steal the beard from John. Yes, I did color it black.

Roses are red, the reaping is due

I'll be outside, waiting for you.

Don't Smoke, Kids

On the left, you see a healthy individual who doesn't smoke. On the right, we have a person who smokes 5 packs a day.

Remember, kids, smoking leads to hair loss!!!!

P.S. LOOK. AT. HIM.

Be Not Afraid

After successfully terrorizing you with beardless Hakob (who doesn't exist), I am back with more ungodly deeds.

I present to you a beardless Bratt.

tbh, I personally dig it.

Staci Bratt & Co.

With great pleasure, I present to you the collection of my Far Cry 5 mods, dedicated to the best boi Staci Bratt.

The mods include

Charlie Hunnam loading screen replacer

"Have You Seen Him" arcade poster replacer

Seeds' outfits for Staci (Brother Staci, Strong Staci, Daddy Staci)

Braid for adding +1000 to Staci's attractiveness

Staci's outfit for Weak Jacob

It is recommended that Strong Staci and Weak Jacob be used together for the ultimate toxic-ship experience.

Murf's Top 50 Mods - Part 3 (2020 - 2023 Edition)

I made a Top 50 list (Pt 1 and Pt2) back in 2016, talking about mods that I've used & love. But with all the goated content that the amazing TS3 community continues to churn out, I NEEDED to update my list! This one in no way diminishes or negates the other mods I've already listed--like, I shouldn't have to sit here and explain how NRAAS continues to carry TS3 on its freaking shoulders, ok. This is just MORE mods, the Top 50 most RECENT ones I've tried out since, like, quarantine.

I am a VERY niche simmer--I love fantasy gameplay, so my fave mods are the ones that not only offer general quality of life improvements, but also add new abilities and interactive objects inspired by different cultures, time periods, or genres. So y'all already KNOW which ones have earned my top spots. They're not based on which mods are "better," just which ones I personally have been using the most.

1: Smooth Patch, LazyDuchess

I've already gushed about this mod, but oh well. Like--I use an EFFTON of CC. My Live Mode gameplay itself doesn't tend to lag so much as my game's slow to LOAD, slow to save, CAS is a nightmare, I can do my taxes waiting for the Misc Decor section to open, etc etc. But the Smooth Patch loads everything so much quicker for me! 😭

One thing is that on the EA App version (curse you, EA) the Master Controller package didn't work on my end, so I took it out, but everything else has been great!

2: Search Mod, LazyDuchess

Speaking of the Misc Decor section -- HOW LONG did we ask EA for a Search function y'all? Only to be ignored. Then the second TS4 is released, it ain't got a effing thing in it, but it's got a Search function??? 🤔 ISTG it's like the simgurus were told to take all of the TS3 community's best suggestions, and poach them for TS4 (like vampire coffins--NO I'm not over it!). WHY do modders have to do your frikkin job for you, EA?! I call EA lazy all the time cuz EA you suck, so it's the most ironic thing ever that LazyDuchess is out here KILLING IT.

My ONLY "complaint" about the Search mod is the position of the icon. I use A LOT of Collection Files, and I noticed that the Search icon actually covers the Delete button when in the Collection viewer. So I can't delete items in collections with the Search icon in the way.

But this is a MINOR nitpick--I almost never delete items, it's just something I noticed is all.

3 - 8: OCCULT MODS: EVERYTHING by @puddingface1902

Y'all already know the Enhanced Witches mod is my favorite mod ever made. But PF1902 also made cool enhancements to the Fairies, Genies, Vampires, Werewolves, and Mermaids too! My sims are usually Nraas hybrids (e.g.: Sakura is a faery, witch & plantsim; Magnus Bane is a witch & genie; etc.), so it's FANTASTIC having so many new abilities for my magical occults. 😍

9 - 11: OCCULT MODS by xantak22

Even more occult mods at MTS are for enhanced Plantsims, Ghosts, and Mummies! I was dying for more Plantsim abilities, omg, they're my 3rd fave occult after Witches & Fae.

12: Sim Control Tools by Knight

Sooooo many quality of life mods have come out! ^0^

I've been ABUSING the Teleport To Me function, to quickly get sims off of lots & where I need them to be. It also lets sims unlock more Social/Romantic interactions. (Now all we need is a way to interact with sims from EA's useless thumbnails.)

13 - 18: @anitmb's mods

There are SOOOO many--most I've yet to even try. But so far newer ones I've been using are the Deck of Cards (FINALLY something other than EA's bulky AF poker table!), Farm Mod (look at all these CHICKENS!), and Hunting mod so my 8000 archer sims can actually hunt! (Ofc I've also used the Woodcutter and Anvil mods in my older gameplay posts, too.) And @mspoodle1's edit of the Cup of Tea mod is so pretty.

19: @mspoodle1's Poker table

Another excellent cards mod is this medieval style poker table I use a lot now, too.

20: @omedapixel's Wildflowers DR

I like EA's default wildflowers from SSNS, but Omeda's are just sooooo much nicer. (I haven't gotten around to trying out their Harvestable Plant DR yet.)

21: Swordfighting mod by CyrusBanefort

En garde! This mod is so freaking epic!

One thing I've noticed is that the game lags while it waits for the mod to boot up (a message has to first pop up saying it's running when you first launch your saves). But other than that this mod is excellent.

22 - 24: Yoga rugs

I've long been using the yoga rugs by Kitabalibar and the edited one from @mspoodle1. But now there's the newest one by @twinsimming, with brand new animations & features. The more the merrier I say, LOL. What's especially neat is the kids wobbling around as they try to do yoga! :3

25 - 30: TheSweetSimmer's mods--so cute! :3

Omg so frikkin many, I can't even catch up! The interactions are so freaking precious, like from the More Toddler Interactions (cuddle, look at, etc) & Biggest Little Mod (hug legs), I've never had so much fun playing with kids! <3 And I LOVE that they can Catch Butterflies and Pick Flowers--you'd think plantsim children would be able to do this by default, EA! Honestly, just grab everything by TSS, your kid sims will thank you!

31 - 33: @spheresims Medieval/Nature/Tribal mods

Y'all know I'm crazy about the Functional Fireplaces mod (the cauldrons, baby! 😈), but the One with Nature and Wildlife Hunting mods are great too, perfectly complimenting the off-the-grid realness.

34: @olomayasims/Cmomoney Smoking Mod Overhaul

The original smoking mod was on my first Top 50 list, so it's awesome seeing it get new upgrades, interactions & animations.

I've never smoked IRL, but sooooo many of my sims just puff-puff away; I'm such an enabler. U_U Now all we need is cigars and pipes!

35 - 38: Callia-Evergreen/Camkitty's CAS CC for animal hybrids at MTS

Not a "mod" per se, but whatever--my list my rules! I love ALL of their CC, but I get SO MUCH use out of animal-themed CC like the digitigrade sliders, wolf feet, lizard tails, and fae wings. Do check them out if you like to play with horror and monster-sims!

39: @greenplumbboblover's Sheep

EASILY one of the most incredible mods I've ever seen. Like....HOW? (Once @omedapixel's Goats are done I'm gonna start screaming someone do llamas pleeeeeaaaaase!!!)

40: Arsil's musical instruments mod

I used the sax most recently in my IWTV gameplay, and it was excellent, perfect for the NOLA vibes! However, although I use the flute A LOT more (for my Untamed gameplay--it's been such a GODSEND!), I really wish the hands were positioned better, preferably using the poses from Chisims' flute poseset. (But I don't eff with poses/animations, otherwise I'd do it myself. U_U) Ah well, it's still one of my fave mods though.

41 - 42: Flower Arranging mod by zoe22 + @mspoodle1's Florist Collection

Guys, I've been wanting this mod since FOREVER! ^0^ (I swear, the best thing about TS4 is all the 4t3 conversions, LMAO!) I just wish Teens could Dabble and use it, too--all they can do is stock the table.

43: Just Sit/Nap Anywhere by FloTheory

Sometimes you just want sims to fall asleep anywhere, DANG, EA!

44: @sweetdevil-sims' Toddler Food DR

Cuz EA's food is UUUUUUUUGLY~! I kept forgetting to install it, only to be rudely reminded every time I had to look at my toddler sims eating MUD.

45 - 46: @mspoodle1's mail pen quill DR and @omedapixel's pencil quill DR

I looooove quill pens IRL (ballpoint pens, not the fountain pens--I'm way too messy), so having mods that let my sims use them too is 👌

47: Fireflies Enhanced! by Canibal_MLO

I love anything that enhances the wildlife and collectibles/harvestables to be more dynamic and interactive. And I was JUST about to do a firefly catching scene for my IWTV insp. gameplay, so this came right on time! The falling leaves effect is delightful, but I kinda wish it was falling flower petals instead, cuz ofc I do. 🌸

48: Unicorn Aurora DR by Canibal_MLO

GORGEOUS. This mod replaces the unicorn mist with northern lights, like.... I love the genius ideas simmers have.

49: Custom Plumbbob Color tool by CrossTheMersey

What a neat idea! Although the default Maxis colors are ingrained in my psyche, with the iconic green plumbbob, as soon as I saw this mod I knew I wanted to at least try something different and play around with it.

50: @aa6x7's Teru Teru Bozu + other edits [Honorable Mention]

I rave about Cmomoney's Time/Weather Mod all the time, I use it constantly. AA6x7's Teru Teru Bozu (Japanese "Sunshine Monk" charms) is kinda like a simpler version of it, as it just resets bad weather back to Sunny. But it's such a cute idea and perfect for my gameplay. Plus, AA6x7 makes all kinds of neat edits/mods to EA's bulky AF meshes, so if you haven't checked them out already, DO!

And that's all the mods I've managed to try out recently!

I don't have anywhere near the kind of free time that I used to, so my simming has been put on the backburner and I've missed all kinds of cool and exciting releases. But trust: I am taking note, so that I know what to try once I have time.

All my deepest & sincerest gratitude & love to the entire sims community, for keeping The Sims 3 going--this year was the 14th anniversary! Here's to 14 more! 🥳 Happy Simming!

TS3: Better Greet

Here’s a brand new script mod for you! I got sick of seeing all Sims greet each other with handshakes, so I made this mod to fix and expand upon one of EA’s most annoying oversights in my opinion.

Better Greet overhauls the visual aspect of the Greet social interaction and allows Sims to play diverse greeting animations under different circumstances. See more details on all its features under the cut! 👋

Overview

In the vanilla game, greetings are limited almost exclusively to handshakes, with the only exceptions being the cultural greetings from World Adventures and the Proper greetings from Supernatural, as well as a rare ‘wave’ greeting that takes place when one of the involved Sims is carrying a baby or an object.

This behavior seems to be an oversight by the developers, as the Social Data for the Greet interaction includes some rules that in theory would allow Sims to use different animations when greeting friends, romantic partners and so on, but the actual script that handles greetings completely disregards these rules.

This mod aims to solve that and expand upon the possibilities by making Sims’ greetings also take into account things like personality traits, social group and relationship status.

Features

There are a host of new conditions under which Sims can perform the new greeting styles. Some aspects of these conditions can be edited in the mod’s Tuning resource, such as the relationship level or social group level required for a greeting to be performed. By default, the mod is tuned in a way that strangers, acquaintances, friends and romantic partners all greet each other differently.

Though there are no hard requirements, many of the greeting styles rely on expansion packs for their animations or to fulfill certain requirements, such as: World Adventures, Showtime, University Life, Island Paradise, Into The Future. The mod can still be used without any of these packs, the corresponding greeting types will simply not be available.

If UL is installed, Socially Awkward Sims have a chance of performing some greetings awkwardly. The reaction to these greetings depends on the target Sim's traits; friendlier Sims won't mind and will turn an awkward greeting into a successful one.

An optional “Euro” mode can be enabled, which adjusts the rules of the Double Cheek Kiss greeting in order to mimic the customs of parts of the world where giving a kiss on each cheek is a common greeting. This can be mixed and matched with the Check Gender tuning, which can restrict this greeting to be performed only with female Sims if enabled.

Acquaintance Greetings

Wave: By default, Sims will introduce themselves with a Wave instead of a Handshake. If their LTR is -20 or below, they will always use this greeting, with special animations if LN is installed.

Handshake: Sims will greet with a Handshake if at least one of the Sims is an adult, or if one of the Sims is a Workaholic. If WA is installed, two Workaholic Sims will greet with a Fast Handshake.

Double Cheek Kiss: If WA is installed and Euro Mode is enabled, Friendly Sims can greet with a Double Cheek Kiss as long as the target is not a Loner.

Friendly Greetings

Friendly Hug: Sims will greet with a Friendly Hug if their LTR is at least 40. If one of the Sims is a Loner, their LTR must be at least 60.

Shaka Bra: If IP is installed, Sims who share the Loves to Swim trait and have a LTR of at least 15 will perform this greeting.

What's Up: If SHT is installed and the actor has the Social Butterfly trait, they will perform this greeting with other Sims if their LTR is at least 10. Uses the Trait Bonding animation. If SHT is not installed, the required trait is Schmoozer.

Double Cheek Kiss: If WA is installed, Sims who share either the Snob or Diva (SHT) traits will perform this greeting if their LTR is at least 25. If Euro Mode is enabled, the trait requirement is skipped.

High Five: If UL and ITF are installed, Sims who share a Social Group can greet with a High Five as long as their influence level is at least 1, and they have a LTR value of at least 20.

Old Friend Hug: If ITF is installed, Old Friends can perform this greeting. Uses the Hug Long Lost Descendant animation. 

Romantic Greetings

Amorous Hug: Romantically involved Sims will perform this greeting if their LTR value is at least 60.

Shy Kiss: Romantically involved Sims will perform this greeting if they have had their first kiss before and the actor is Shy and their LTR is at least 70.

Amorous Kiss: Romantically involved Sims will perform this greeting if they have had their first kiss before and their LTR is at least 80. Shy Sims can perform this greeting if their LTR is at least 90.

Dip Kiss: If ITF is installed, Romantically Involved Sims will perform this greeting if the actor isn't Shy, is a Hopeless Romantic, has had their first kiss before and their LTR is at least 90.

Tuning

To edit the mod’s tuning, open the .package file with s3pe and edit the Tuning XML resource in a text editor of your choice.

There are lots of different tunables as I've tried to make the mod as customizable as possible, but adding them all in here would make the post even longer than it already is 😅. I've tried to organize them as neatly as I could in the XML so hopefully you'll be able to make changes easily!

Compatibility

This mod will conflict with any other mod that replaces the social_greet jazz script in JazzData.

Download: SFS / MTS

Place the .package file in your Packages or Overrides folder.

Tempest Tuning by GCirelli

For any TS3 simmers who use NRaas Tempest and are unaware of this mod, I want to share one of my favorite game tweaks that I lost and just recently found again yesterday. Made by GCirelli at the NRaas site, this tuning file contains custom weather profiles for almost every EA world (minus a couple of the newer ones). The creator based these profiles on the climate in comparable real world locations, and every detail from the morning, noon, evening, and night temperature ranges to the chance of fog, hail, rain, snow and sun has been individually set to correspond with the average forecast for that real world place for each of the four seasons. So with just a couple of clicks in the NRaas Tempest menu, you can quickly and effortlessly have warm tropical sunshine in Sunlit Tides, gray foggy drizzle in Moonlight Falls, or dry desert heatwaves in Lucky Palms.

For anyone interested, you can download the tuning file HERE and the instructions on how to enable it HERE. As these are exported NRaas settings, the package needs to go in your Library folder, and I believe you will also need NRaas Overwatch to import it. If you have any trouble getting it to work, feel free to send me a message or an ask, and I will try my best to help. :)

These are the worlds that are included alongside the real life city that was used as a reference for it.

Disclaimer: I take absolutely no credit for this mod. I lost track of it a while ago and just found the download again, and I thought someone here might be interested in using it as well. Just to be 100% transparent, I found the link on this post, but I was unable to locate any more information about the mod. However, if you are GCirelli and you’d like me to remove this post, please let me know, and I will do so immediately! :)

Here are a few aesthetic and realistic mods that I have been loving lately <3
