CC: Eliza Dress

Y'all, fixing up the uniforms for the Regency Mod put me in a mood to mess with making CAS meshes again, so here's an unexpected dress I made.  It's 4600 poly, all LODs.  Some of the swatches are kind of lacey, some are more plain.  

Feel free to use/remesh/recolor for any purpose.  :)

Mod: Extra Cross-Stitch Patterns

Hey all, I'm back with a new mini mod that adds new cross stitch patterns to the game.  All of the new images can be crafted from the in game cross stitching kit using Small, Medium, and Large hoops.  

The new patterns are listed under "Stitch From Pattern" --> "Flowers and Leaves", "People, Houses, and Designs", and "Animals and Other Nature".  The patterns also have differen...

Bugfix Update: Regency Romance

Hey all, here's a bugfix update for the Regency Romance mod.  This addresses the mailbox bug and issues with payouts for sims who own multiple estates.  

This update also fixes a uniform issue affecting some Simmers, and fixes up the textures for the maid's dress.  This does mean the uniforms for all the careers have been reset.  You may need to re-assign career outfits for Sims already in the military or servant careers.

Thank you to all who helped with this u...

Updates + Lookahead

Hey all.  

I first want to apologize for being so out of communication the last couple of months.  It's not an excuse, but things have been crazy with work and some family stuff, and I let it eat into my modding time.  I know some of you have been trying to get a hold of me for help with the Regency mod, and I'm so sorry to have left you hanging.  Going forward I'm going to work to restructure my days so I have more dedicated time to work on bugfixes and tech support...

Updated 3/1/24 for compatibility with the Crystal Creations patch.

Hey y'all!  This mini mod allows you to learn to climb a tree.  It is Base-Game compatible, but if you have Growing Together you can also get a milestone for learning to climb a tree.  For kids, climbing builds motor skill, and adults build fitness.  

The tree itself is a clone of the ...

Mod Tutorial: Add New Songs to Instruments

-Hey all!  Today I wanted to share how to add new songs to the Sims 4 musical instruments.  For this tutorial, you'll need a few tools.  This also assumes some working knowledge of how XML works.

Notes: Unfortunately, there are parts of this tutorial which rely on the TS4 Sound Tool which only works on Windows computers.  If you're a Mac user like myself, and don't have a friend whose computer you can borrow, let me know and I'm happy to help make audio config packag...

Modding Resource: Song Injector

UPDATED 8/21/2025: Fixed for compatibility with the latest patch.

Hi all, today I have a modding resource to share.  This is a script file that allows you to inject music tracks and music styles into the game, based on the late Scumbumbo's XML Injector.  You can use this to make mods that add new music tracks to the in-game or modded instruments.

You can look a...

Update

Hello all,

I have some rather unfortunate news to share. Today, my laptop died during a work event and it hasn't turned back on.  (I'm writing this post from my phone.)  I had been working on career updates for the archery and blacksmithing mods, as well as a bugfix update for the Regency mod, but right now it's unclear whether I will be able to retrieve any data off of my old machine.  

If I'm unable to recover data, I am likely to be a few weeks behind on the plan...

There are a few dif...

Regency Romance Update: Love and Courtship

Update 8/15/23: Addresses a handful of bugs, including the disallow parasols cheat, stopping fans and handkerchiefs from appearing while holding other objects, married sims scandals, making it easier for sims to begin a courtship, allowing sims to resubscribe to Lady Whistledown after disabling it, and others.

Final progress report: Regency Update

I'm finally closing in on the last features of the regency update and hope to have it open for beta testing as early as Monday.  If you're interested in testing you can join the discord and ask to be added to the beta tester role.

This week the focus has been on updating Lady Whistledown.  Sims can now check their attractiveness (according to regency era social norms) in the society papers.  She also co...

WIP: Regency Update (Suitors Arrive with Flowers)

Just another quick snapshot of a feature I've been working on - there is a chance for Sims to receive morning and afternoon visits from prospective suitors bringing flowers.  These are all pretty lazy edits of flowers from MWS but I think they work ok!

WIP and Poll Results

Hello!  The poll for the next Regency Update is now closed and the next update will center around Love and Courtship.  I'm planning to take my time with this update to make sure it gets the depth it deserves, and I anticipate it will take at least a full month to complete.

That being said, next month's historical mod will be a Blacksmithing Skill!  This has been in the works for quite some time, and I can say with confidence that it will be released sometime in May.
