What I'm Working On #015
Added 2024-01-26 01:36:02 +0000 UTCHey! I'm back with another update on what I've been working on this week.
Marksmanship
I spent the bulk of the week finishing up the Marksmanship Mod - making the other pistols and rifles, last minute animations, etc.

There are three kinds of rifles and three kinds of pistols, each with a variety of swatches.



As part of the skill, Sims can now craft targets, pistols, and rifles on the woodworking table!

And last but not least, I added duels. All we need now is a tumbleweed and a cowboy hat. :)
Flute
This week I made a wooden flute, and made all of the recordings. I still need to finish up the skill books, but this mod is steadily approaching completion.


Ballet
Those of you that follow my Tumblr already saw a peek of this a few days ago, but I've also started work on a ballet mod. I was excited about it and needed a break from working on hunting. This was second place in the skill poll, so I'm planning for this to be a March release, assuming time permits. This one is going to be animation intensive so I'm cautiously proceeding on all of the simpler practice animations to start. :)
Although I'm doing the practice animations first, I plan to make a few ballet variations that will unlock at certain higher skill levels. Here's a look at how I'm animating these in Blender - still a lot of work to do. :)

This particular dance is the Giselle variation as performed by Yasmine Naghdi. She's absolutely stunning. <3
February Poll
Finally, I wanted to mention that on February 1st, there will be a patron poll for a small new historical mod. The options right now are a spinning wheel, croquet, or a phone replacement mod. If you have an idea for things small historical mod, drop a comment and it might be in the poll. :)
Until next time,

Comments
Something I've wanted for a while is a mod that lets my sims to do ballet; there are related cas items, build items, poses/standalone animations which are fun to use. Now a fully fledged ballet mod is on the way, and from a modder who is SO good at what they do! I read that part of the update email and smiled so wide! Can't wait, I know it'll be amazing 😁
