Made a new house for my sims!

Welcome to Karen Carpenter and the family I created for her! ( her brother will be living in the neighborhood )

read in bed

download on patreon (early access)  (public release - 06/04/25)

click on a bed to see the interaction that lets your sim pick a book from their inventory and read it in bed.

base game compatible requires the xml injector

single bed

child to elder

on a single bed, sims (teen to elder) will see two options: 1. read in bed (with covers) 2. read in bed (without covers) child sims will only get the "read in bed (with covers)" interaction.

double bed

teen to elder

on a double bed, sims will see one interaction: "read in bed" the animation depends on which side of the bed you click:

left side → with covers

right side → without covers

i added a tooltip in-game to make it easier.

the pose for "read in bed (with covers)" is the same for all sims.

the pose for "read in bed (without covers)" is different for masculine and feminine frames.

benefits:

increases fun need.

skill books will boost the related skill. any level book can be read in bed and still grant skill gain.

if your sim has a "finish a book" want or aspiration goal, this interaction will fulfill it.

children gain creativity when reading fiction books. when reading skill books, they build mental skill — and if the book teaches a skill children can learn, that skill will increase too.

a moodlet will appear while reading in bed:

sims enrolled in university can also read textbooks in bed — they'll get a notification confirming their academic progress is improving:

known issues:

1. please let the sim finish reading before saving or entering cas. otherwise, when you load the game again, they may level up every skill at once, which causes a bunch of notifications :) it's not game-breaking, but a little messy. 2. the animation looks better with thicker books. 3. emotional books won’t give your sims a specific emotion.

this mod took me over half a year to figure out, and i'm so happy to finally share it. hope you enjoy!

Simvanced Degrees: A Graduate School Mod

Synopsis: So, I created a mod that kinda lets your Sim go to grad school. (Just in case Discover University didn’t stress them out enough) I always wanted a mod that allows Sims to do something postgrad. This mod allows your Sim to go to graduate school (kind of at least). Basically, your Sims will go back to "college" for a Simvanced Degree. Read more HERE.

[Robin] That good old bed ( with VCR ! )

Hello, fellow Vintage Simmers!🌼

I've been very productive lately! (And I still have to post my VHS tape recolor too, ahah.) So here is a bed that I modified and recolored from the Lovestruck pack.

I also wanted to thank you all for all the support I got from Tumblr, Pinterest, and Reddit. It means a lot to me, and even if I do that because I enjoy doing cc and enjoy seeing them in my game, knowing that some other people actually like my stuff means the world to me! I have been using CC for 20 years now, and I'm delighted to be part of the creators.

Hello hello !

Close to the end of the month but it's finally finished! Thank you for your patience! I'm very excited to share with you this set I've been waiting to create for a while! I had a lot of fun making it, so I hope you will have as much fun playing with it!

Even of wallpapers went through the batch fix, and has correct dimensions etc, I am aware that a few people still can't use them even under Direct X11. In some cases, using the unmerged version of the package solved some of the issue so so I hope it will work this time too!

Thank you again for your patience, I wish you a very nice weekend 💚🥰

You can find the items by searching for VINTAGE NURSERY or Pierisim in game.

Some items share the same textures so make sure to have the packages finishing by "texture" in your mod folder :)

All base game compatible except the changing table.

unmerged and merged version available.

Wander Set

Spring is here! I finally made my first pair of accessories, which was really fun. I hope to have either more frequent or larger sets (like collections) consistently going forward. Making content is so fun, and I love making stuff I want irl hahaha. I hope everyone enjoys, and as always, let me know if there is anything you need more of in your game that you'd like to see.

Also, there are 5 new colors in my default palette (I needed more muted colors) but wow I wish we had a color wheel so bad </3

CC

Hello! I haven’t been posting much lately (and I’m sorry about that). I’m not stopping, I actually have some things in the works (a toddler dress, another TV show outfit, etc.). I’ve just been really enjoying playing The Sims these days (and also League of Legends, haha)!

I’m still trying to work on some CC every day, but it’s going to take a bit more time than usual. I might post some screenshots of my gameplay in the meantime.

(By the way, I forgot to wish you a happy Memorial Day so, happy Memorial Day!)

Sooo.. I may have a tiny bit of an obsession w the 60s, 70s & 80s, and therefore I've accumulated a lot of CAS custom content both made for and capable of working in that time-frame! Here is a (very non-finalized) master list of said CC. I will most likely edit this, or post a part two. (I am also 100% open to WCIFs regarding these decades, vague and specific!) Full list below the cut, but creators shown in the preview are @ridgeport @simduction @ice-creamforbreakfast @feralpoodles @hezzasims @simstrouble @joliebean @zombietrait @its-adrienpastel @deathpoke1qa, @leeleesims1

(an * denotes a TSR link)

1960s

Sets

@enriques4 & @serenity-cc's Back to the 60s set is a must have for bright 60s basics to mix and match

@sentate & @trillyke's 1990s-themed 2020 Collab has pieces that are perfect for mod fashions

From babydoll to boho, Sentate's April 2021 Collection has it all for late 1960s & early 1970s looks alike

For some gorgeous turn of the decade looks, be sure to nab @ice-creamforbreakfast's Date Night Collection

Clothing & Footwear

Create more early 1960s looks with @gilded-ghosts Earth Angel dress!

I love @ridgeport's Birdie skirt as a mod mini! It comes in tons of colors & excellent patterns

amythesailor's Twiggy dress is full of fun patterns and colorways!

If you need something bright, @deathpoke1qa's 60's dress and matching go-go boots are the way to go

Hair

@simduction's blog is full of big fun retro hairstyles, but their Nancy, Peggy, & Beecky hairs are some of my favorites of the bunch.

@daylifesims also has a ton of fun picks, Shades of Cool, Hammer Horror, Heavy Bangs, & their Daphne and Fred Hairs are best suited for 60s style

@joshseoh's Blaire hair is cute and curly for a peppy 60s chick!

@feralpoodles' Monique & Monica Hairs are sleek and modish, they're perfect on their own or with some accessory bangs

Lets talk beehives. @ravensim's Terri Hair is loose and wavy, ridgeport's Fleur Hair is stacked and layered. @candysims4 has two beautiful beehives, Follow Me & the long and sleek Bee Hair.

@glimersims' Sugar Hair is an adorable flippy half-updo

A more 50's style like @birksche's Higher Twist Hair is perfect for your older sims

And @okruee's Bordeaux Hair is a wonderfully messy bun

1970s

Sets

Lets start the decade off strong with Gilded-Ghosts & @surely-sims' Perfect Party Set, which includes some gorgeous Build/Buy items as well (and BB could and should be a masterlist of its own..)

@joliebean & @clumsyalienn's Slavic Allure set lends itself perfectly to hippie and prairie style looks in a gorgeous Eastern-European inspired package.

On the topic of hippie, clumsyalienn's Heatwave Pack is perfect for all your free-spirited Sims

And so is serentiy-cc's Bohemian Child collection- that fur coat is a must have

Now for something bold and fun, straight out of Sears, ice-creamforbreakfast's 70s-inspired November 2022 set

Clothing & Footwear

@glumbut has never let me down with their Sonny and Dahlia jeans, and their Aroa top is recent favorite of mine

I love using ridgeport's Phia Suit for some good late-70s professional girl vibes

Hair

I've got some more feralpoodles hair for you, her Diana Hair is perfect for all your flower children & the layered and windswept Lara & Farrah hairs are straight out of the late 70s

And of course more ice-creamforbreakfast, another Fawcett-inspired look with their Farrah Flip, and their Milla Afro is a must have, whether you make vintage sims or not.

@simstrouble's Mirela hair also lends itself to a more subdued 70s style

And if you're looking for a long shag, @kamiiri's got you covered with their Phoebe Hair

1980s

Sets

Joliebean's 5th Avenue Conversion is great for both 80s business & 80s-does-40s looks.

@zombietrait's 80s Goth Pack is perfect for, well, trad goth looks. It's a must.

@dogsill's Upside Down Pack is full of great basics and rockin hair.

A multiparter, @aniraklova's Wild and Stylish 80s sets are over-the-top in the best way possible. Make sure to check out all 3 parts!

Clothing & Footwear

Now, it wouldn't be the 80s without some Wall Street goodness, and @quiddity-jones' Double-Breasted Suit is perfectly patterned for all of your business needs.

Part 2 of @jius-sims' Retro Collection is sweet and classic, perfect for the 80s housewife, or your girl-next-door.

@cooper322's Blondie Jacket is just so splendidly rocker-chic.

More from joliebean, their Ultraviolet & Daytona dresses are wonderful for all sorts of patterned & neon looks

Hair

joliebean's Beatrix Hair is a fun cropped style, it works for all sorts of fem looks, but I especially love it combined with a classic powersuit

@goamazons' Gloria Hair* is equally classy, and even bigger

Now, it wouldn't be the 80s without curly (often permed) looks, so here's some, ranging in volume. Goamazons' Floris Hair*, simstrouble's Beatrice Hair, & @softerhaze's Rhiannon Hair are all long styles with cute curly bangs. simstrouble's Eddie Hair is similar, works for both frames, and rocks a shaggier mullet-style.

@candysims4-ccfinds' Bonnie Hair is a shorter curled look with plenty of volume

Kamiiri's got two hairstyles I *love* for this decade, the Simone Hair is a full, long, curly style, and the Celine Hair is shoulder length with beachy curls and just the right amount of volume.

Multiple-Decade

Sets

As hilarious as it is, ice-creamforbreakfasts' half of the My Wedding Trauma Set has some awesome pieces. The Kelly-Marie Hair works great for 80s looks, and the dresses involved are right out of the class of 1987's prom. It even has an Elvis-inspired jumpsuit. (Check out surley-sims' half for the matching sunglasses)

Clothing & Footwear

@melonsloth's Jolene Outfit is a wonderfully classic outwear piece

@casteru's Bodycon Wrap Dress is just that! It's simple and works great on 70s-80s ladies.

Jius-sims' Retro Collection has some great footwear as well, they're simple and classic enough for all sorts of decades looks

@hezzasims released some beautiful 50s-inspired pieces, though I think they work great in any decade!

Hair

daylifesims' Long Rose Petals hair is simple enough for any decade, though I particularly love it in the late 1970s & early 80s.

The same goes for simstrouble's Rhoda hair, it reminds me so much of my mom's when she was a teen in the 70s & 80s.

Benji's Boater

Always loved this boater hat for my child sims, but it only had one swatch. Sure, there's other boater hats for children, but I like to have options, and I like the shape of this one a lot. The colour swatches are for the band, while the straw part is in shades of brown and grey that I thought would match each colour, and to make it look more like straw.
