I'm also on Curseforge so if you don't feel like downloading from Simsfileshare you can try it over there.

Yes, I'm still actively working on Sims4 conversions and updates, even as I make art.  

Sims4 Jungle Adventure NPC Definition
April 18, 2024
I unhid relationships for skeletons.  If I'm gonna change the way they work by making them definable, I may as well allow you to make friends with them.  You can make friends with Grim, Right?  Why not Skeletons?

Sims4 Vendor Careers
April 18, 2024
I realized the flower vendor career didn't have vacation available.  That's been fixed.

Sims4 Get Famous Careers
March 18, 2024
Added Celebrity Fans traits.  

Sims4 Hybrid Through Gameplay
March 17 2024
Fixed for recent updates.  Additionally I removed the fake traits as I have no intention of keeping them supported.

Sims4 Journey to Batuu NPC Definition
Sims4 Realm of Magic NPC Definition
Sims4 Outdoor Retreat Career and NPCs
March 17 2024
Fixed for recent updates

Sims4 High School Years Careers and NPCs
March 17 2024
Fixed some id bugs

Sims4 Servo Trait Customs
March 7, 2024
Been a while since I last looked at this mod.  Bed support for toddlers.  Also, hopefully, pets will be less glitchy.  I tried to add support for horses, but that was glitchy as Hell when they went to recharge, so no dice.

Sims4 Grim Reaper Optionals
March 7, 2024
Support for Infants, babies (if you can, somehow, get the trait on them it will freeze the commodities that make sense ... maybe?), foxes (why not?), and horses.  Technically you could apply the trait on them before, but it didn't freeze their needs and also messed up their walkstyle.  Now it does freeze their needs and the way the trait handles the walkstyle is slightly different, so horses aren't messed up!

Sims4 Reaping Skill + Soul Reaper Career
March 2, 2024
Oddities with the skill description have been fixed.

Sims4 Splice All Harvestables
February 29, 2024
Updated for the Crystal Tree.  Yes, already!

Sims4 Plantsim Trait Edits and Objects
February 26 2024
Apparently having infants or toddlers ask for a bath is a totally different interaction than an adult Sim simply giving them a bath.  So the Water need wasn';t being filled.  I've addressed this so now it fills VERY quickly.  It's not totally consistent since "give" fills up a need to two while "take" looks for a need to be filled up Why isn't it the same logic? I dunno), but at least it fills the need up.  

Sims4 Get to Work Careers
February 24, 2024
Removed the Retail Career; it'll be moved to a different project.

Sims4 StrangerVille Careers + NPCs
February 14, 2024
I misnamed the pack number the traits are from.  This has been corrected.

Sims4 Reaper Actions Unlocker
February 12, 2024
Fixed a glitch that prevented eloping.

Sims4 Bartender Careers
Sims4 Butler Career
Sims4 House DJ Career
Sims4 Trainer Career
Sims4 Fisherman Career
February 11, 2024
Tweaked the descriptions to list the minimum requirements for these careers so if you remove my mod your NPCs may still function if they still meet the requirements.  Probably better to list them in game than have people guess at them or just in the descriptions here, right?  Right!

Sims4 Flower Bunny Career & Scarecrow NPC
February 5, 2024
Saw teens were excluded form the "go to work" code.  Should be fixed now.

Sims4 Tattoos Unlocked for Children and Toddlers

Up to For Rent.

Sims3 to Sims4 Plumbot Conversion
September 2 2023
Seems as if I forgot the Pizzabot version of the Kyla arms.  They're in there now.

Sims4 Liberated Tombstones and Urns
July 22 2022
Unlocked the Horse tombstone for this set.

Sims2 to Sims4 Mummy Costume Conversion
May 4 2023
Infant fix actually broke the eyes a bit.  Oops.  So I disabled it for them. 

Sims4 Restored Depricated Mailbox
April 7 2023
Fixed a few glitches.  It seems that the mailbox started turning at the lower LOD and also didn't allow publishing after a little while.  

Sims Freeplay to Sims4 Haunted Objects Conversion
April 1 2023
Fixed a glitch in the Haunted mailbox that prevented mailing books after a few were published.

Sims2 to Sims4 Alien / Racer Conversion

Sims4 Move Cursed Objects
February 13, 2023
Been a while since I thought about this mod, but looking at it now I figure I may as well make these items buyable too.  So they're basically just like regular items with this mod.  Interestingly most cost $100 and not $0 as you'd suppose for items that aren't supposed to be bought or sold.

Sims4 Miscellaneous Pack 2
February 9, 2023
Figured out how to set the Kine (cowprint) wallpaper to the width it was always meant to be.   So that has been updated.

Sims2 to Sims4 Tombstone and Urn Conversion
January 23 2023
Well, I found something interesting the other day.  An unused tombstone texture!  So of course I converted it.  But it's actually a totally different layout than the used one ... and matches the bump map used for the in-game tombstone!  Looking at this I think I get what they wanted to do with the bump map and, for whatever reason, just didn't do.  So I did that here.  In the Sims4.  I also redid the textures for the console icon and PSP tombstones.  I found an upscaler better than the one I was using at the time (just Photoshop's scale tool).  Just when I thought this was done I find more to add.

Sims2, 3, Console, Mobile to 4 Gnome Conversions
January 21 2022
I've added better textures for the console gnomes

Sims3 to Sims4 Shark Costume Conversion
Update December 30 2022
Fixed an exploding pixel on the lowest LoD of the child's costume.

Sims4 Miscellaneous Pack 4
December 26 2022
Added new swatches for the lion statue and the Jack O'Lantern Row.  I usually don't add new items to finished packs, but they fit the theme of this one too well.  Again. I missed the Sim Sculpture from the mall.  It's real purdy and this is the best place for it.

Sims4 Wall Mounted Death Scythe Conversion
December 4 2022
Removed the style tags.

Sims Medieval to Sims4 Grim Reaper Conversion
July 17 2022
It always bothered me that this mesh didn't have lower LODs since it's so high poly.  So I finally added them.  For some reason the weights from Sims Medieval finally work for LOD0, so I got those in there now.  There's still a lot of clipping, but it's clipping from the original game.  So.  At least it's actuate to what this is.

Sims4 Bigfoot Trait
July 1 2022
Now requires the XML Injector.  The trait can now be found in the Rewards Store for $0.  In addition I've made it ignore dustiness or cleanliness and given it the "loves outdoors" buff.

Sims4 Deco to Actual Tombstones
June 16 2022
The unknown pupper overrides I made as a part of this caused a game crash after the werewolf pack.  This update fixes it.

Sims2 Pets to Sims4 Robot Pets Conversion
March 29 2022
A version of this is now available for small dogs

Sims Medieval to Sims4 Tombstone Conversion
February 14 2022
The Tombstone is now live draggable so it can work better as an actual tombstone.

February 13 2022
The Tombstone is now live draggable so it can work better as an actual tombstone. 

Sims4 Miscellaneous Pack 3
February 13 2022
The Tombstone is now live draggable so it can work better as an actual tombstone. 

Sims4 Scuba Gear Grim Reaper
May 19 2021
Added female morphs for all recolors past the first one to match my fullbody Reaper outfit.

Sims3 to Sims4 Alien Clothing Conversion
May 12 2021
Fixed a gap in the male alien uniform.  I have no idea when it started showing up.  

Sims4 Miscellaneous Pack 1
April 3, 2021
Upscaled the texture for the crashed UFO.  It's still pretty bad, though.

Sims3 to Sims4 SimTech Sim-Bot Conversion
March 20 2021
Removed minmaps from the emissions texture.  It looks a bit better from a distance now.

Sims 2 and 3 to Sims4 Plantsim Outfit Conversion
March 11 2021
No idea when it happened or why, but the Sims3 female outfit gained some odd holes in it.  It used to be fine.  Dunno when it stopped being fine.  But I remade the package and it seems to work now.  Unfortunately you'll have to re-apply the outfit on whatever Sim was wearing it.

Sims3 to Sims4 Imaginary Friend Conversion
March 6 2021
I thought I fixed the Child's arms, but I guess not!  I have no idea what happened there.  Could have sworn I fixed it.  Well.  I fixed it now.  Pretty sure.

Sims3 to Sims4 Mummy Conversion
February 23 2020
I figured out how to fix the mouth!  It looks far more natural now.

Sims4 Odd Skintones
Update December 11, 2020
Updated for the skin tone patch

Sims4 Liberated Vehicles
Update December 11, 2020
Some mods just don't stand the test of time.  This pack hasn't been relevant since debug objects were unlocked, so it's time to pare down the packages.  I took out all the vehicles that you can get through debug mode leaving just the police car, the taxi cab, the ruined muscle car (Midnight Raven (End of Days)) from Get Famous, and sailboat trailers in various colors unavailable in the game.  

Sims3 to Sims4 SimBot Scraps Conversion
Update December 5, 2020
Updated with AI upsized texture maps

Sims4 Scythe Umbrellas
October 8 2020
My custom thumbnails seem to have stopped working.  Or maybe I tested them badly and they never worked.  Well, since my original plan to make custom thumbnails failed and this relied on that heavily, I DID manage to get the thumbnail angle looking decent enough to tell which umbrella you're selecting, but not which hand each was made for.  So, trial and error for that, I suppose.

I've received a couple of requests for commissions lately.  And I've given a lot of thought to opening myself up to do commission work as an on-the-side sort of thing.  But each time I have to re-examine why I'm doing conversions and such.  And each time I just find that I'm not a commission sort of guy.

I have a job where I'm in front of the computer working at things for other people.  The Sims 4 stuff you see here is relaxing for me.  Figuring out how to convert something, seeing it realized and playing with it is fun.  But answering to someone else ... that's not so fun.  That makes this Sims 4 stuff into work.  And that's why I'm hesitant to do commissions in general - it turns my fun into more work.  I'm not even sure how much to charge for commissioned work; I've only ever looked into getting something commissioned once and in the end it didn't work out.

So, for now, I'm not open to commissions.  If this changes I'll post something about it and research rates.  

But I am open to suggestions.  And I've written some previous suggestions down.  It helps if you have a picture of the thing you're suggesting to me in case I'm not familiar with it to begin with.  

I have to admit I'm genuinely curious.  I don't advertise or post mu CC or mods anywhere but here.  I barely post anywhere except the Sims4Studio forums where I ask questions sometimes.  

I'm gonna bet good old fashioned Google.  But it's weird that my downloads shot up by a few hundred on one day last year.  Where'd that come from?

Yes, finally.  I finially finished scanning, lettering, and cleaning up all the pages of the comic I did - Kids Stuff.  Paging back in the journal, I first wrote about this back in January of 09 - when I got my big scanner.  But even before then I tried simply taking pictures with a digital camera - wither disappointing results.  That was in 08.

It's wierd not to have this gigantic project anymore.

Well, another sketchbook has been finished and you know what that means!  It means I scan and upload a lot of stuff!

This time I want to try and do soemthing different.  I'll upload it a bit at a time.  It occurrs to me that uploading a ton of sketches all at once may be rude to people who follow me.  So I'll try doing it piecemeal.  Bit by bit.  Because it's not that I don't draw ever.  I just .... barely upload.

I'll also upload into scraps (there's already some sketches there), so you can check that out too.

As for my comic, I'm over 50% done.  I've also been uploading that online elsewhere.  Not quite sure it's ready for advertising here, but it's out there for those why may have found it.  But I'm kinda burnt out on it, so I'm coloring some old shit that I've been meaning to color, but have never got around to.  Like that YAOI!? pic.  I can't believe I scanned that all the way back in 07 ...

Once I'm done uploading here I'll move the art over to the Mechanical Maniacs as well.  Maybe I'll even make the process a bit different than a massive art dump.  Needs some thinking through, though.
