Hi, I'm alive. Kind of. Going through some severe depression and issues, but I'm trying to ease myself back into simming because it brings me a lot joy. It's always on my mind but it's hard to feel motivated to do, well, literally anything.
But I thought I'd make this post for some mod ideas I wanna do/learn how to do. Not sure how possible any of it it really is but I thought I'd make this post anyway to see if anyone else is interested in these ideas.
Fairy Ring
I don't play with any life states, not really. I find them far too intrusive and difficult to deal with and incorporate in my game so I just don't really like them. Aliens aren't much of a life state though, but also Aliens don't really fit do they? I know people have made fairy replacements but I don't like that they come from telescopes...
Cindysims made a thief conversion a while back that lets sims get pregnant by the trickster and that gave me an idea of a fairy ring object. Ideally, it'd be a fairy ring of mushrooms that a sim would dance in to raise their fun levels and give them a random chance of being 'spirited away' which would count as being abducted and they can come back pregnant. I don't know how possible all of that is but it'd be really cool if I could even get half way there.
Pool rocks
I've always wanted a swimmable lake on my forests lots but no matter what I do, I just can't get it to work. I've followed the tutorial countless of times but it just refuses to function. I literally dreamt this though, get this, I dreamt I made rocks/cave objects that you place around the edge of the pool to simulate it look like a cave/rock formation with water in it. They could probably be recolored too to look like sand/grass/etc...
Adjustable weather mod
So a weather mod does exist but it's very extreme and I'd like something that could be easily fiddled with for depending on what hood I wanna play in.
So usually if a hood has specific weather requirements (desert, tundra, etc) you just change the seasons. I don't like doing this though because each season comes with special effects. Fall makes skills build faster, spring builds relationships, winter has things about giving gifts, etc Ideally I'd like a mod that changes the temperature and chances of certain weather as a whole so my sims can experience all the seasons just with appropriate weather. It's not 'always winter' in Alaska, they have summers they're just different.
