(TS4) When we got Seasons, I was a bit disappointed that we got no calendars. I mean, if calendars would suit just one theme, it would be seasons. We already got a calendar with Get To Work, and another with Cats & Dogs, but that isn't enough when all households focus on weather and seasons. What about those not dedicated to pets or sims in uniforms?

So, I made my own calendars. They even got a local flare as they show pictures from each of my worlds - seven total! I tried to find general motives avoiding sims and building that are not in every version of that world. There are 4 alternatives per calendar, and with a color code per season it's easy to see if a family should switch to another season view (by using the design tool in buy mode).

I did not plan to share them quite yet, but hey - it's nearly New Year!

To use one or many - simply click on the link and save the package file in your game's Mods folder. These are 7 files, and you will save only those you want in your game. Cats & Dogs pack required.

University Discoveries

[TS4 - picture thread] So, I've now enjoyed the Discover University pack for a couple weeks, and I'm still having lots of fun with it. I've focused on setting back time to graduate some of my older locals, who I imagine got a degree when hey were younger. It's been fun making them younger and dressing them up like students, especially hash business matrons like Corinne Dougham and Claudia Tangerin, who are some of the lead characters in my video series As Sims Go By (ASGB). I could of course have pretended they all got a degree and then cheated their career level, but I prefer the real thing! And - I wanted their graduation photo and diploma for their office walls :)

This is a picture thread, but I'll squeeze in some info, too. Who they are and some of the tricks I learned.

I did not count, but I probably graduated 20 locals so far, all taking place in the "past". Although graduation photos of the first lucky are black and white, I'll keep all pictures in this post unedited color wise.

Foxbury Commons - modified

[TS4 Discover University] Many of the lots that come with a new expansion pack are spacious and not directly packed with content. I guess it's like that because it might trigger many of us to add and modify to our taste, after all there are so many ways to play this game. Another point is that Discover University naturally come with only base game content + what's new in this pack. Most of us have tons of content to choose from, i.e. why should not a Common have an office with objects from Get To Work?

Anyway, I found the Foxbury Commons too spacious. It still takes my sims forever to cross the floor, walk the stairs, and then cross the 2nd floor to get to the chosen computer, but with my smaller adjustments this lot now has more purposes for my gaming style.

Basically I locked in the right side area, and turned it into a sports room with a pool. And, in the opposite end I built a few walls to add a small class room and an office that can be used by my future Professors.
