Poll | Recipes

I'm almost done with the 'Various Small Mods' you all voted for in the last poll. I'm not going to do the seed packs because I need to flesh out a few things with harvestables first.The last week has been rough for me though. I have a pinched nerve again, this time in my back and not being able to move around like I normally do has me feeling kinda down. I wanted to do something fun and artistic so I decided to work on some new fo...

Patch Update 1.105.297

After the last game patch, if you don't have all packs installed you may have noticed some my content is missing or not working properly. This update will fix those issues.I also fixed a few bugs and reworked the woodworking recipes a bit to make more sense. I tidied up a few things like object descriptions and fixed a few small issues with crafting costs here and there, but nothing major has changed.I've tweaked a couple of things so peo...

Poll | Upcoming Content

I want to get a feel for what you'd prefer to see as far as new content over the next couple of weeks.It looks like harvestables are going to take a tad longer to get updated. I'm sorry, but I PROMISE it's worth the wait.Until then, I want to get a smaller project or two uploaded while you guys are waiting. Here are a few ideas that I think I can get to you in the time-frame between now and when the harvestables and their related game...

Poll | Liquid or Powder?

I have a few ideas for some small future projects and I'd like to hear your input on them! The first one is...Food ColoringI want to create some food coloring to be used as ingredients for recipes. There are 2 ways I was thinking I can do this:Option 1: LIQUID Boil down fruit and veggie juice (from the press) to get a bottle of liquid color that can be used as an ingredient. Option 2: POWDER Dry fruit and veggies (preserving skill) then grind...

Patch 1.105.297 | Crystal Creations

🚨 UPDATE 02/28/24So it looks like there have been some major changes to all tunings. For now, it looks like it's only affecting people who don't have all packs installed.Although it looks like a simple fix, it literally involves all files that have tuning so it may take a while to get everything updated. I don't know the extent to which it applies to my files so I won't know how bad it is until I get in there and review them. I...

Poll | Garden Size

How many harvestable plants do you usually keep in your sim's garden?

News | Crystal Creations Stuff Pack

I am SO excited for this I had to share!More details on the pack HERE.

Discussion | Garden Effects

I thought I'd post a discussion to see if there are any other garden effects you all would like added OR if you'd like some adjustments to the effects I've already done. Garden effects are things like spawning butterflies, sims getting buffs when near plants, or plants drying out faster because they require more water.Before you post your suggestions, please keep in mind that I'll be adding a way to make effects optional so you ca...

Poll | Harvestable Plants

I've made it so that some of my plants, particularly the more climate-sensitive plants, will revert back to dirt piles if you try to grow them in a climate that doesn't suit them. I like it because it makes it a little more realistic. I always thought it was weird that you could grow things like plantains in a world with almost no rain or lots of snow.Would you all like this to stay the way that it is, or (if possible) would you rather it...

Malware Warning

It looks like there's a serious issue with Malware being hidden in Sims 4 downloads from various sites.The link above is from Scarlet's Realm. She tracks the status of custom content and mods but has started a page to keep people informed about the Malware issue.Please take a look, and if you think you might have downloaded one of the questionable mods there are instructions there that can help you.

Harvestables Discussion

Starting next week I'll be working on getting all harvestables fixed and updated. I'm also going to take a look to see if I can create a quick fix for the issue with not being able to care for harvestables when they're not in season.I'd like to let everyone share their feelings about my harvestables and how they function. If you have suggestions please let me know in the comments below. This will be the last major update to harves...

I've added a disclaimer about this in my troubleshooting posts, but I'm posting this here as a heads-up.Please do not use TianaSims content if you use my content. I build my content to be standalone and compatible with other mods, but unfortunately her content is an exception. As of this notice, we've found that using her content with mine...
