Hi everyone! ☀️ I updated my mods for the two latest patches and released two and a half new mods : • 🪁 Custom Venues Activities (in testing phase) • 💐 More options for Sales Tables • 🏳️‍🌈 Additional Club Filters (extended) You can find all the detail here : down-in-simsland.tumblr.com/post/8233112...

Doing some testing for my custom activities on a Custom Venue, everything seems to work fine ! I managed to make stall vendors and even sims tending sales table automatically... and she is selling Lovestruck sweets and flowers ? That's also another mod to add diversity to autonomous vendors ! 🤗

Kathlyn and Kristen are doing some testing and it works 🛸 I've been able to enable buffs from clunInteractionGroup to be applied for small business customers/employees and club gatherings. It's a huge progress for the roles I'm working on for custom venues (and now small businesses and clubs)! ☀️

I think I'm back to building entire streets for residential rentals 🫣 I went on and explored Mexico City with Google Maps, and randomly started building things I thought were interesting looking. I looked bad at the start but I'm warming up to it, I have to learn to trust the process I guess !

Currently in a mod creating/testing phase 🤗 I created the LGBTQIA+ Filter for custom venues, but I wanted something that could work for regular community lots, made possible by injecting zone modifiers filters introduced with Enchanted by nature 😊

Tonight I did some testing on how I should add and build my royal families in my regular save, it's like building family trees with legos! I haven't updated so I have some issues with sims being added to dynasties automatically, and some stuff with ghosts (I guess due to outdated mods) but it works!

As a no CC user, I'm currently discovering the power of having undershirts as accessories 🥹 So many new possible outfits, those cropped sweaters can be used in a way that makes sense ! (After so many Sims in my save, it's hard to innovate for outfits, so that's very welcome !)

I furnished the inside 🤗 It went quick, my way of doing things is placing one item in a swatch I like, then, base all the decoration on this item. Once an item is placed, I rarely go back or change stuff 🫣 By the way, really excited by the new kit, so many needed clutter I wanted for so long 🎸

I'm back from my trip ☀️ I launched my game and rediscovered some builds I had going on, this one is a Backroom that I'm kind of using as a multi-purpose lot (including a gym, a museum and a bar). As stated before, I will update my mods with the next patch, it's not worth it doing it now 🤗

Hey ! I saw the update and the new roof issue, safe to say I won't be updating my game until the 21st patch solving the issue (I always place rooms under my roofs, I feel like it's cleaner this way 🫣). I'm enjoying my trip a lot, it's so calming being far away (and eating so many new fruits 🤭)

I can't really play at the moment as my computer would overheat, but I'm not making such progress on Ondarion and decided to build some new lots in Ciudad Enamorada (this lot is a playground, but I couldn't resist adding some functional shops using my mods !)

I've tried Paralives with my favorite brother and sister, but I guess at the moment, that's not for me 😓 That being said, I don't regret buying the early access and I can't wait to see the future of this game (and also what people create for it !)

I'm just getting started ! The ultimate goal would be to find a way to make the buffs related to those new activities work for sims in a club gathering or a small business, as they only use interactions lists, but I'm sure I'll find a way 😊

Some bonus screenshots ! 📸 Fun fact : the wall mounted shield you can put on a wall to display your emblem actually has details on the back, and with TOOL, I used it as an actual shield instead !

Testing went wrong, an old man died in his shining armor. But at least, Grim was able to have some fun! 🎯 I build this kind of renaissance fair, but it made me realize that I need to do something to improve autonomy on custom venues, even for simple roles, it's a little bit of a mess 😓

My least favorite part of rebuilding Ondarion : those big castles for my dynasties 🥹 I managed to create this shell without any inspo, not everything make sense (so many different windows 😓) and for some reason, even with such a huge building, the bedrooms and bathrooms are not that big 😂

It took my 3 tries with completely different layoutd, but I finally managed to do something I love for the Community Market in Dembele 😊

For my save, as I know I will have trouble finding a job on my field, I have a lot of free time for the moment. I'm building and creating Sims for Ondarion and Gibbi Point (and plan to complete Ciudad Enomarada and maybe Tomarang) but I don't know yet if I will release an updated version.

After 10 long months, I can finally open my own save again without making all my custom pictures becoming blurry, such a relief ! 🥹 After investigating, there is still a smaller reduction for the size of the pictures, but they look ok enough, so that's good enough for me.

I still have the two other big custom venues to recreate, I started working on the Revive and Thrive Retreat (so much outdoor space to decorate !) and created other smaller lots. I mostly have big lots left in both Gibbi Point and Ondarion, and I'm not really thrilled working on them 😅

But I guess if I want a better experience, I need to continue working on those new custom activities that rely on buffs with commodities instead of affordance lists (I guess most people won't understand what I'm talking about 😂) to make everything work better !

The part that sucks still is having Sims prepare food and Sims eat. So I tested something, creating new interactions that stocks the buffet and remove existing food, an activity that make my camp director stock the buffet (with a cooldown) and one to prevent anyone from cooking. It works well !

It works as good as it can with the bad autonomy from custom venues and getaways (that relies on pushing interactions with no logic instead of the regular autonomy from regular lots) and creating different roles from campers with different activities depending on their personality was a good idea !

I'm building a second camp for Gibbi Point, this time for teens ! My first attempt (the last picture) was using the tree parts from Innisgreen, but the routing was so bad, so I created something more simple at the end 😅

Currently trying to get back into building (thanks to my two best friends, unemployment and procrastination !)

I think I need to make a party place in each map, it's so cute seeing all the pokemon join the party and having fun ! 🤩

Same for Collinangle, the main building is a mess, but I've built many places around !

I'm also building small stuff, like this caravan in Terassec for Osselait and Ossatueur, I've seen this inspo on Youtube and I made my own version (I'm realizing I don't have the English names of pokemons and places in my mind, sorry for that 😅)

I wanted to share some Pokopia updates, because I'm having a lot of fun there 😊 I'm currently avoiding starting taking care of the main parts of the map, so to stall, I'm building around some places to fit a lot of houses (as there is a limit of Pokemons appearing at the same time by map, it helps)

A small video tour (quite bad, with the 30sec. limited it stressed me out 😂)
