2024-01-25 15:32:56 +0000 UTC View PostSul-sul! I'm back with an update on how I've spent my modding time this week.
Marksmanship
This week in the Marksmanship mod, I worked ahead on the other hunting animations, the skill, and the objects.
Rabbits can now meet their untimely demise.
There are now three lengths of targets, and all of the animations got updates so as your skill increases, you'...
2024-01-18 13:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostHi! I'm back with an update on what I've been working on for modding this week. As you noticed, the Violin/Piano Duets mod came out, and now that I have a framework for how two instruments can play together, I plan to incorporate more in the future!
The rest of my time was spent on the Marksmanship mod this week, and now I have a plan for how hunting will actually work in the game. There will be designated "hunting spots" that you ...

Updated 3/3/24 for compatibility with the current patch.
Sul-sul! I'm back with another music related mod, which adds Violin/Piano duets to the game. Once your Sims reach level 5 or higher on Violin or Piano, they will be able to choose one of 5 duets to play.
Once ...

Thank you!

2024-01-08 17:48:58 +0000 UTC View PostHappy New Year! I hope everyone has had a nice time this week.
I've added a video on Youtube, but I'm closing in on completing a mod which will allow you to play duets for Violin and Piano. I spent a good chunk of time this week recording the 5 new pieces and getting them ported to the game. It's going to be a little funky because the piano and violin are already in game, so the sound is a bit different from the game's record...
2024-01-04 13:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostHappy New Year everyone! I'm beginning to sketch what my next few months of modding will look like, and in February there will be a new instrument. As a thank you to patrons, I'm asking you to decide which one will come next!

Updated 12/8/24 for small bugfixes.
Sul Sul!! This year's final update of the Regency Mod (or first, depending on your timezone) is finally complete! This is definitely the heftiest upd...
2023-12-31 14:37:31 +0000 UTC View PostHey all! Apologies for the delayed update this week. My main focus has been on finishing the update of the Regency mod, with a goal of releasing tomorrow morning. I have entered the final testing stages.
This has been a week of adding detail and finalizing the smaller points of the update.
I worked on the scripting portion of Church Holdi...
2023-12-30 17:12:53 +0000 UTC View PostSul-sul! I'm back early this week with a quick update on what I've been working on. I'm about to be out of town for a few days to celebrate Christmas with my family, so I wanted to provide an update before I left.
The more I work on this update, the more I see ways to try and deepen the content, so while I had hoped for a pre-Christmas release, unfortunately I think we're going to be looking at a release closer to New Years, but still before ...
2023-12-19 19:07:33 +0000 UTC View PostSul-sul! I hope everyone's been having a good week. I'm back with a quick update on how I've been spending my modding time this week.
For this week in the Regency mod, I worked on importing the two new dancing animations into the game. I'm excited to have a bit of variety and am looking forward to *eventually* adding in historical dancing as a ...

Sul-sul! I'm back with another historical override which makes Sims aged teen and up who are marked as female in CAS ride sidesaddle.
A few notes/limitations: This mod is an override and will conflict with any other mods that edit the Animation State Machines or Locomotion builders related to horse riding. This mod replaces every animation except the mount, dismount, and obst...
2023-12-11 19:02:26 +0000 UTC View PostSul-sul and happy Friday! I'm back with a quick update on what I've been working on. Patch fixes took up some time this week, but in addition I've been working on the Regency Mod and the Sidesaddle Mod.
Sidesaddle
The Sidesaddle mod is going to enter beta testing phase this weekend. There are still one or two things that aren't as fluid as I'd hoped, but...
2023-12-08 11:56:17 +0000 UTC View PostThank you all for your patience with these essential updates. The following mods needed updates for the latest patch:
Hello, this is just a reminder that there was a major patch today. Unfortunately I will not be able to check my mods until late tonight, but given what has already been reported, it is safe to assume that Regency and 5 Day Work Week will need major updates. Please use caution and I will update as soon as I can. Thank you for your patience.
2023-12-05 21:11:08 +0000 UTC View PostSul sul! I'm back with an update on what I've been working on this week. I caught a bug over Thanksgiving which turned into bronchitis (yay) so it hasn't been as productive of a week as I had hoped, but progress is still being made.
This week for the Regency mod, I've been focused on finishing the Socialite and Clergy careers, and alongside that, overhauling the Social Standing mechanic. This is a new stat which will be given to...
2023-12-02 01:18:34 +0000 UTC View PostSul-sul! The Soulmates Mod has been RE-UPDATED.
Thank you and happy Simming!
2023-12-01 14:35:15 +0000 UTC View PostAs a thank you to patrons, I'm asking you to help me decide what mod to create first in the new year! The poll is now because any animated skill takes time, and I always start work on new mods the month before they release. Thank you to all and happy December!
2023-12-01 13:59:46 +0000 UTC View PostHey all and happy Thanksgiving to those in the US! Here's a few quick updates of how I've spent my time this week.
This week for the Regency mod, I've been working again on getting the careers up and running. The governess career is now complete, and has a new custom uniform to go with.
Updated 8/20/25: Updated for compatibility with the latest patch, and changed skin detail slots to be compatible with more overlays. Wrinkles now take up the Forearm Scar slot and gray hairs will take up the Mole (Left Cheek) slot.
Sul-sul! I'm back with another slice of life type mod. This one was so much fun to figure out!

2023-11-19 23:24:45 +0000 UTC View PostHey all! I'm back with what I've been working on this week. My IRL jobs have been insane this week, so it's been a pretty light week, but I've got lots of time off over the holiday next week to catch up. :)
So this week I got another ~20ish animations done for the sidesaddle mod. Right now it's all about the transition animations between walkstyles. I'm getting closer and closer on this one every week but still have more ...

Updated 8/21/25 for compatibility with recent expansions.
Sul sul! Here is a mod that adds a Parchment Computer to the game. Sims who use this computer will automatically write with quills, and it functions exactly like a normal computer. Sims can play games, write novels, or "Troll teh Forums", all without ever touching a mouse. It is functional off-th...
2023-11-10 13:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostHey all - I know I usually post on Fridays, but I'm sharing a bit early this week in anticipation of the Parchment Computer mod releasing then. This week has felt like a drag, but I've had some fun discoveries along the way.
So it turns out the parchment computer was actually quite a bit easier than I expected now that I know how animations work! For those...
2023-11-09 13:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostHey all and happy November. I can't believe the time is flying by so fast! I wanted to share a quick lookahead of what I have planned for the rest of the year. This month, I will release both the Sidesaddle and the Gradual Aging mod, and December will bring the Regency social class update.

So this week I worked on finishing up the canter wal...

Hey all, I have another quick dress to share that I started on earlier this month. There are some patterned swatches and some floral swatches. It's 4800 poly, all LODs. As always, feel free to share/use however you'd like. :)
Hope you enjoy!

2023-10-31 19:33:54 +0000 UTC View PostThe bulk of my time this week was spent on finishing up the Secret Occults mod! I've added the ability to like and dislike different kinds of occult sims, and you can get special buffs from interacting with or being an occult you like/dislike.
I've also been working on two new aspirations: the Occult Enthusiast aspiration and the Occult Exposé aspiration. Com...
2023-10-27 12:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostHey all, first I just want to say thank you for being so patient with me on updates this last month! In an effort to be more transparent with what I'm working on, I'm going to start providing intermittent status reports about how I've been spending my modding time.
As soon as Horse Ranch came out, I began working on a Sidesaddle mod, but didn't want to share too much until I was sure it was possible. I hadn't done anything with ani...
2023-10-20 16:52:58 +0000 UTC View PostHey all, there is a small bugfix update out for Regency Romance now. It addresses issues with apartment mailboxes, issues with the "Ask to Court" interaction, last exceptions related to estates, and an issue with estate inheritance. Thank you all for your patience.
Hi all, I just wanted to let you know that I won't be available for mod help or updates for at least the next week. We've had an unexpected death in the family and I'm going to be away. Thank you for your understanding.
