July 18, 2022 - An was Update Needed
 
One of the things that really bug me is autonomous drinking.  I was using a mod by Simmiller but he hasn't updated it and I really want it so I updated it.   
 
These are the items that this mod ends the autonomous action:
 

 
If you were the 1 person who downloaded this earlier today 08/24/2022 please redownload.  I needed to two parts that I removed as they were the ones that stop sims from using the sink to get a drink.  

July 18, 2023 - Updated changes were needed for this mod please delete the older file and replace it with the new one.
 
I'm not sure why I never posted this mod of mine before now, but I had to update it today so I will share it with you all.
 
Sims do write books quite quickly, which is what I wanted.
 
Updated August 13, 2022
 
I have added the Conservationist Grant Application to be written faster and the Archaeology Manual may now be written much faster.
 
One issue I have found is if your sims does not complete a book sometimes, they just will not complete it.  I've just scrapped that book and started a new one and that seems to fix the problem, at least it does for me.
 
 

Changes were not needed for July 18, 2023 
 
There were numerous changes to this file, and I updated it August 6, 2022
 
There was no change needed for the February 2021 update.
 
There was a minor change needed for this file Jan 27, 2021.
 
This is another of the items that I felt was very unrealistic, time wise.  I was disappointed not to be able to find a mod that worked for these either.  It's taken me a few weeks to get it figured out.  I found an outdated one on MTS but it didn't work.  
 
The trick seemed to be I had to add the resume options to the file also.  I didn't know we could even resume the music until I studied this.  But I did find the resume is not an actual resume, it takes almost as long to do a resume as it does to write a song.  I would get so frustrated when a sims had to go to work or school and I'd lose all that work. 
 
There are sheet music sheets created in your sims inventory that can now also be done quickly.  They do have to be songs that have been written...not Lyrics or Jingles.  I've been working on those options too but have not been able to get them much faster.
 
This mod works for guitar, violin, piano, keyboard, and the organ.  
 
This mod is only for writing songs.  This does not help with writing lyric, I've tried to get one for the lyrics but I am unable to get one that helps with them.

I checked this file for any needed updates on July 18, 2023, and found none were needed.  No change was needed in this file.
 
I was having to clean up messes that toddlers and children make just far too often, so I created this mod.
 
It reduces the chance to 2% as opposed to a 60% chance.
 
Thanks so much to Alet for testing it.
 
This is compatible with the newest version of Sims 4

July 18, 2023 - No Change Needed
 
Be sure to give your sims the Speed-Reading Buff in Aspiration rewards for this to work.
 
I have several mods that I created a while back that I've never uploaded as they take so much to keep updated.  This one shouldn't need to be updated, but I will keep up on it if at all possible.
 
This increases the Speed Reader Buff and Sims will read a book almost instantly.

July 18, 2023, I checked this file and it did not need any changes.
 
Another mod that should not require an update in the future.  I will, however, check with any update.
 
The food spoilage is set to 0, so all food should not spoil.  I do have another one for fish as that is different from food.  I will post it shortly.
 
Issue:  I have found food kept in Sims inventory will show it as spoiled but if you put that item on a counter it will not show it as spoiled.  The same with the fridge.
 
As with any of my mods please let me know of any issues.

July 18, 2023 - No change needed
 
Another mod that should not require an update in the future.  I will however, check with any update.
 
The fish spoilage is set to 0, so all fish should not spoil.  
 
As with any of my mods please let me know of any issues.

No changes were needed for the July 18, 2023.
 
Sims will catch fish at a faster pace.
 
Please be sure to let me know if you do not find that it works as it should.  I have not tested this for a while and I did have to add an option for Sims to catch fish from an island canoe.

I checked for changes to these files and changes were needed for July8, 2023.  The changes were minor.
 
This Sims 4 mod will allow Child and Teen Sims to not only do their homework faster, but also their Extra Credit and/or Makeup work much Faster.  
 
Extra Credit and Makeup work are a little longer than regular homework.  
 
I use MCCC and have no conflict.  The only conflict would be other homework mods.

I checked this file for changes on July 18, 2023, and no changes were needed for this update.  
 
I do not believe this will ever need to have any changes.
 
I looked to try to find a current mod to allow Sims to learn skills faster and could not find one that was up to date.  So I made my own, well I updated the one created by Shrimod101 at MTS - Click Here
 
I didn't actually use his settings, I just played with the settings until I found ones that worked well for me.  The Sims learn the skills quite fast but not instantly.  The thing is you must give your Sims the Savant Aspiration Reward in order for this mod to work.
 

 
I was not able to find an easy way for sims to learn the skills faster without using the Savant Reward.
 
 
 
 
 

I checked for changes on July 18, 2023, and this file did need to be updated.  Please replace your file with the new one.
 
I recently started playing Sims 4 again and I was pleasantly surprised to find a couple of words that have decent-sized lots, and oh my goodness the toddlers are so darn adorable.    
 
I looked to try to find a current mod to make the Aspiration Rewards cheaper and could not find one that was up to date.  So I made my own.
 
Important:  There are 2 different flavors in the zip file - You must choose one and only one to put into your Mod folders for Sims 4. If you want to pay $10 per Reward or you may choose to pay $0, just only use one of the files in your game.
 
There is a Free version which you are able to purchase them for 0 points.
 

 

Checked for needed update on July 18, 2023, and no changes needed.
 
Lil Chili Pepper on MTS created this a few years back and I've been using it up until today.  I had to add new sections to the mod to make it work.  I only updated the version I use.  If someone wants others, please let me know.  
 
My Sims quit completing paintings and would not continue them.  Once I put this in my folder my sims were able to continue a painting he'd started.
 
You may find LCP's version Click here.

Updated October 16, 2022 - Thanks go G-Knee for bringing to my attention that one of the mesh files had a guid conflict.  I have updated it and hopefully there will no longer be an issue.
 
This beautiful set comes from Sims Design Avenue which is a site no longer available.  I have made many repairs and updated most of the files.  I felt it was a set worth saving.  I also added slots to the dresser and fireplace.  The bed also now allows for EA bedding.
Bench (sofa) $180 poly count 4728 
3 Bookshelves 1x1 $100 poly count 874, 2x1 $150 poly count 1478, 2x1 secret door $150 poly count 1490

The following are items I did not recolor but included as they are a part of the original set.  I did, however, clean up the files and fixed all issues I found.:
2 decorative bushes both priced at $50 found under decorative plants
4 candle lamps wall lamp $60, floor lamp $100, table lamp $80, ceiling lamp $80
6 wallpaper and 3 floors

Some of the frames are from Sims 2 and some are from Sims 4.  Although most of the Sims 4 frames have been done by other creators.  I had to size them all to fit my mattresses.  
 
The mattresses use the Sims 2 bedding format.  The long blanket version does require Seasons everything else is the base game.
 
No Cheats are needed to place the mattress or the frames.
 
The regular mattress was from the queen bed that has 10s for energy, and stress and I believe it is a discomfort setting.  I set the long mattress via the tag and within the coding for the type.
 
There are 90 bedding textures for each mattress.  I believe I have all of the EA textures and many of my own.  I also made the pillows larger.
 
I added some basic recolors for the Sims 4 frames as most of the EA textures are so dark and dreary.  I like bright and clean textures myself.
 

I converted 7 of the Sims 2 beds into toddler beds for our Sims 4 Toddlers.  I found it is not so easy to do the beds as you have to be sure they do not go through the floors nor can they be close to the walls.  I did check to be sure they could be placed without having to use the bb.moveobjects cheat.  I was only going to upload 6 but I finally got the classical bed to work, it was a challenge.
 
The mattress is separate and may be placed without using a cheat.  I have 59 textures for the mattress in the same design used by Sims 2.  I pulled all bedding for an EA bed to use on this mattress.  All frames have the EA textures also.  Feel free to add any beddings you might have from Sims 2.  I do not use the small little section of the bedding I use the full bed texture.
 
Issues:  The only issue I know of is that you have to move the mattress and frame separately.  The extra benefit is you may recolor the frame and bedding separately.
 



 
 
 
 

Thanks to Alet testing she found tub and shower in this set needed to be raised up a bit so that it may be placed inside.  If you use the bb.moveobjects cheat you don't need to worry about this.  Thanks so much Alet for all your help and testing.  I also, redid the lower poly meshes and they still go away when you scroll out.  
 
 
I converted this set for our wonderful Mission Mouse, so that she could have some things for Sims 4 to recolor.  The Bavaria set is one of the sets she picked out.  I am going to post the items by the room they were intended for.  This is a very large set and if you like it please be sure to watch for MM's recolors and for the rest of the set.
 
Bavaria - Wood for Sims Bathroom Set converted from Sims 2 to Sims 4
 
Bavaria Bathroom Clutter -50
Bavaria Tub - 1500
Basic Room Divider - 300
Bavaria Mirror - 250
Bavaria Shower - 1200
Bavaria Sink - 500
Bavaria Toilet - 450
Bavaria Towel Rack - 100
 
Issue I noticed but don't have a clue as to why is that the tub and shower disappear when you scroll out or way back.  I do have all the necessary mesh files and reduced them.  The tub, shower and toilet are very difficult to work with in Sims 4.  I had to use TSR workshop to get the shower curtain to work correctly, and the tub water.  Maybe that did something, but otherwise neither item would work correctly.  A toilet can not be created using TSR and S4S has great problems with getting it to work, due to the morphs.
 

 
All items have at least 3 textures and a few have 9.  I only did images for 3 or them.
 



 
I hope some of you will enjoy it.
 

Thanks to Alet testing she found 2 of the beds in this set needed to be raised up a bit, the tall armoire also need to be lifted.  If you use the bb.moveobjects cheat you don't need to worry about this.  Thanks so much Alet for all your help and testing.  I also, found I had not completed all of the mesh files in the double bed.  Please redownload this set.

Thanks to Alet testing she found most of the tables in this set needed to be raised up a bit so that it may be placed inside.  If you use the bb.moveobjects cheat you don't need to worry about this.  Thanks so much Alet for all your help and testing.
 
This image shows just how little the legs were bleeding through.  However, when I lift up the table it changes all those slots for placing things.  Long story short the tables are very fussy to work with.
 

 
I also added two new tables!

Sorry I did not make many in game pics.  I may add some later, I just wanted to get this posted as soon as I could.  I am out of room on my Sims lot.   
 
 

Thanks to Alet testing she found the dining chair in this set needed to be raised up a bit so that it may be placed inside.  If you use the bb.moveobjects cheat you don't need to worry about this.  Thanks so much Alet for all your help and testing.

Barstool - 250
Outdoor Dining Chair - 125
Outdoor Living Room Chair - 250

Outside Bench with Canopy - 250
Outside Bench with Canopy 2 - 150

1x2 Dining Table - 425
1x2 Dining Table2 - 425
Grill - 750 requires SP12 Toddlers is required for this
Umbrella Table - 250
 
I wasn't going to include the 1x2 tables because the game makes them look strange with only a half of a shadow.  There seems to be a bug or something as several of the items get a half shadow on them.  If I turn the item in a different direction the shadow stays and does not move with the item.  If I angle the tables the shadow is over most of the table.
 
The grill was my ultimate challenge but after many attempts I got it.  
 

 
 



 
 
 
 

I had a request from "The Dark Lady" on MTS for more toddler beds like my Princess Bed posted there a long time ago  Click here to view it and it is here also Click here.  Well I was perplexed about using so many GUID numbers since we no longer are able to get new blocks of numbers.  So I decided to create the frame separate from the mattress by cloning a rug.  Unfortunately the game does not do a very good job of creating an good icon in the catalog.  Also note:  the 2 green tiles show up when you place the mattress but the third is just for the joints to work properly.  You may place anything on that third tile.
 

 
All frames are 50 simolons each the mattress is 800.  All are found under beds.
 
I created custom animations for the mattress using Wes_h's mods.  I tried to get the child books to appear when a toddler makes the bed but I was not successful.  If you don't like seeing a toddler make the bed then please do not download this item.  The other issues is the children sometimes bleed through the blankets.  The blanket is a bit high on toddlers from time to time.  I removed the portion of the blanket that covered between the blanket and bed as I could not get it to work.  Video link to view how the mattress works on the princess bed.  
 
 
I completely forgot my first version of this was the cast away set and I don't know where that went.  I will have to search for it.  
 
This info still applies to this mattress.
 
Thanks so "The Dark Lady" for make this request.

Now this image is to show the egg ring as S4S does not show things that have transparent sections.  You may notice that with the egg tree.  You will also see some of the items that I'm working on for the next set.  Although there really seems to be so little interest I'm not sure if these are things people are looking for.    Feeling a bit down the table took me a couple of days to figure out and it was very challenging, but when I got it figured out I was as happy as I've been in a long time.  I just may have to write the information up so others do not have to go through such a hard time.
 

 
Enjoy!

The single mattress only may also be used with any of the other frames that plasticbox and or orangemitten has pulled out of the game.   

I have converted the Sims 2 Ambrosia Dining set by SPX to Sims 4.  I was not able to convert her hutch, but I really tried.  MM and I worked on several projects for Sims 2 and I asked her if she'd like me to convert any furniture sets that she'd enjoy recoloring.  So this is a new project for her.  I hope she will create us some wonderful recolors.  I did create two just to be sure they would look work.  The first image is of SPXs original texture converted to work with this set.
 
The set includes the following:
 
Dining Table - 250
Dining Chair - 250
Left Curtain - 100
Right Curtain - 100
Hutch - 350  - under decorative miscellaneous 
 
The sofa in the image is from my Sims 3 Providence conversion to Sims 4 and can be found Click Here.
 
I added the hutch at just after 9 PM EST.  
 

 
If you happen to be a mesh creator and your wavefront.obj just will not work try importing it as a milkshape mesh, or another type.  That is what worked for me the MS version worked but no way would the wavefront.obj work.  I tried just about everything to clone and nothing would work.
 

August 29, 2022 - I have updated the sofa shadows as I found them to be too far from the legs of the sofa.
