Horse mod: No Autonomous Bottle Feed Foal

This mod disables autonomous bottle feeding of foals.

Important Details:

  • This mod requires the Sims 3 PETS Expansion Pack. Using it without PETS should not have any effect on your game, but it will be a totally useless waste of space.
  • This mod was built with patch 1.34, and is compatible with patches 1.29, 1,31 and 1.33. It is also extremely likely to be compatible with patch 1.26.
  • Due to its simplicity, this mod may not necessarily require an update after major patches. It’s always best to check in, though.

Compatibility:

  • This mod will conflict with any other mod that alters the SimBottleFeedFoal_Sim resource in the GameplayData.package.
  • At the time of writing this, I do not know of any mod that will conflict with this mod.
  • If you are not sure if a mod will conflict with another, use Delphy’s Sims 3 Dashboard Tool to check.

Moving Most mods to Simlogical

Over the next couple of days, I will be moving mods that are not hosted at MTS to Simlogical. Don’t worry, I will post a link to the new location in each thread. ALso, whenever I make a new mod, I’ll be sure to post about it here. I love my blog and my readers! I have no intentions of abandoning anyone of anything. But, it will be much easier to maintain and support my mods on a forum. That also means that anyone looking for a specific mod will have an easier time finding the mod.

See you at Simlogical!

My mods at Simlogical can be found here: Nonas Stuff

Horse mod: No Bareback Riding

This mod prevents sims from being able to ride bareback by increasing the riding skill required to 11.

Tutorial: How to Create and Load Custom Moodlets with a Pure Script Mod

I’ve written a new tutorial and have published it at Simlogical: How to Create and Load Custom Moodlets with a Pure Script Mod

This is a somewhat advanced tutorial, as it requires the user to know how to make a pure script mod. You can’t load and apply a custom moodlet if you don’t have a pure script mod, so if you’re interested in custom moodlets, you must learn how to make a pure script mod.

I  didn’t publish the tutorial here because it’s more advanced than my usual tutorials and I don’t wish to discourage any beginner modders. We can always use more modders, so if you’re interested in learning and have any questions, feel free to post a comment or send a PM at MTS or Simlogical.

Buyable Permanent Sultan’s Tabernacle

New Scripted Object mod: This mod allows you to buy a permanent Sultan’s Tabernacle to place on community lots and homes. This is similar to the tents at base camps, in that your sims will not be able to place the object in their inventory.

Get the mod at Simlogical: Buyable Permanent Sultan’s Tabernacle (WA)

Breastfeeding Mod

My latest mod: This is a pure script mod which adds a breastfeeding interaction to the game. This mod is in beta testing, however, this is only due to a lack of proper animations. The mod itself is fully functional and perfectly stable. It is fit for in-game use. Still, I recommend backing up your save games if you intend to use this mod. If something can go wrong, it certainly will, and it’s always safest to keep a back up.

Download and more information available at Simlogical: Breastfeeding Mod

Update to the Cow Plant Mod (Only Paparazzi, Vampires can eat cake)

My Cow Plant Script mod has been entirely re-done and updated. It has been turned into a pure-script mod, which makes it easier for the user. If you are using my Cow Plant script mod, please visit the Cow Plant script mod post or the post at MTS to download the new version.

If you have any questions or come across any issues with the mod, please let me know.

Mod: No or Less Autonomous Ice Cream Maker and Deep Fryer

These mods significantly alter the hunger advertisement for the Ice Cream Maker and Deep Fryer Premium Content objects from the Sims 3 Store. The hunger advertisement on some interactions were way too high.

NoteYou MUST have the Ice Cream Maker and/or the Deep Fryer from the Sims 3 Store in order for these mods to work. They will NOT add the item to your game. 

Requirements:

  • Again, this requires the Ice Cream Maker and/or the Deep Fryer Premium Content Items from the Sims 3 Store to be installed in your game, or it will do absolutely nothing.
  • No other Expansion or Stuff Packs are required for this mod, ONLY the store item.
  • Built with patch 1.34, but will likely work for any patch level that can run the Ice Cream Maker/Deep Fryer.

Conflicts

  • These mods will conflict with any other mods that alter any of ITUNs  from the Ice Cream Maker/Deep Fryer from the Sims 3 Store.
  • These mods will conflict with TwoFtMama’s Ice Cream Maker/Deep Fryer mods, available at the Naughty Sims Asylum.
  • You can use Delphy’s Dashboard to check for conflicts if you’re not sure about something

Flavors

Ice Cream Maker

Deep Fryer

Less Autonomous Ice Cream Maker Use Less Autonomous Deep Fryer Use
No Autonomous Ice Cream Maker Use No Autonomous Deep Fryer Use

Downloads Available at Simlogical

Personally, I prefer the Less Autonomous Flavors.

Please comment here or PM me at MTS if you have any problems with this mod. If you’d like another flavor of this mod, don’t hesitate to ask.

Horse mod: Easier Racing and Jumping Challenges

This mod makes it easier to complete the Racing and Jumping challenges for Horses. All requirements for the fix challenges (3 for racing, 3 for jumping) have been halved.

Important Details:

  • This mod requires the Sims 3 PETS Expansion Pack. Using it without PETS should not have any effect on your game, but it will be a totally useless waste of space.
  • This mod was built with patch 1.34, and is compatible with patches 1.29 – 1.33. It is also extremely likely to be compatible with patch 1.26.
  • Due to its simplicity, this mod may not necessarily require an update after major patches. It’s always best to check in, though.

Compatibility:

  • This mod will conflict with any other mod that alters the Racing_0xc1d7a4abff10ed56 and Jumping_0x3ca0afabbef43b28  resources in the GameplayData.package.
  • This mod will conflict with Dweiathecat’s gallop animation fix mod, which alters the horse’s speed at level 10 racing. Please use only one of these mods.
  • If you are not sure if a mod will conflict with another, use Delphy’s Sims 3 Dashboard Tool to check.
Flavor Description
Flavor 1 Horse challenges are 50% easier
Flavor 2 Horse challenges are 50% easier, and horses do not run at speed 3 (to fix the choppy gallop animation)

Download available at Simlogical

Please comment here or PM me at MTS if you have any problems with this mod. If you’d like another flavor of this mod, don’t hesitate to ask 🙂
