“LET'S TALK, KIDDO!” - Can we make a new family recipe? | Sims 4 custom interaction

This one will let your kids to ask their parents or caregivers about creating a new family recipe and get one of 100 custom replies ✨

I really had fun creating this and tried to use in-game recipes and ingredients for the replies! 🤓 Should be especially fun if you own a Businesses&Hobbies expansion pack as after the interaction you can actually go and create the recipe that a parent suggested 🙌 Or not, if you didn't like a suggestion ;)

➡️ Available for patrons till 06.05

Btw if you have any proposals of any interactions for "Let's talk, Kiddo!" which you'd like to see in your game - let me know, I'm always open for the new ideas 🩷

I made a version of the "Blast Off!" alarm clock from the Cozy Gamer Kit that works with Lot 51's mod. The original is on the left and on the right is the modded version. Isn't it so cute how the alarm clock actually BLASTS OFF now!?!

I made this for @tootsquatch and I fell in love with it and thought other folks may want it too. Also, shout out to the oh so lovely, @surely-sims for answering my many questions and helping make this happen!

Requires Cozy Gamer Kit & Lot 51's Sunrise mod.

can you tell that I hate making preview pics?

Updated Clickable Worlds Mod | TS4

I'm currently world building for Lykaia and was in need of @awingedllama's clickable world mod. Since they aren't around to update it (I miss them! Hope they're doing well!), I tried my hand at doing it myself. I had to dissect the ones they previously posted to learn how to do it, so my attempt at it is definitely mediocre. Regardless, you can grab the files for Lovestruck, Life & Death, and Ravenwood below. You can check out Awingedllama's page for all the other worlds! I don't buy new packs often, so I won't be able to do this for every new world we get but enjoy these for now.

- Clickable Ciudad, Clickable Ravenwood, & Clickable Nordhaven - Nordhaven's routing is really funky due to the canals, so be mindful of that! - Full Credit to @awingedllama for the mod! All I did was update it for the new worlds. ! If you have any issues with the files, please delete them! I am unable to help with troubleshooting, because I don't have the best understanding of the process.

⊛ DOWNLOAD [PATREON, FREE]

TOU: Do not put place the mod behind a paywall. Feel free to dissect it to learn to update it for any newer worlds!

computer animation override

download on patreon (early access)  (public release - 05/10/25)

this mod replaces default computer sitting animations with two relaxed poses — one for each frame.

the override affects all computer actions.

age groups: teenagers to elders.

all transitions are smooth.

the new animations only show on desks and dining tables — bars and kotatsu use the default.

comparison with default feminine pose:

comparison with default masculine pose:

i tried to choose the most compatible pose possible, but keep in mind it won’t look perfect on every seat or body type. i really wish it did :(

feel free to reach out if you run into any issues or have questions ❤ hope you enjoy playing with it!

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ🍼 BETTER BABIES - custom newborns overrides 🍼

Say hi 👋 to your new updated newborns! 👶👽 New improved textures, custom skin tones, hair, eye colors and more! 😎  

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ❗️PLEASE READ INFO BELOW BEFORE DOWNLOAD❗️   

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ💾 DOWNLOAD \ info:

Here is my huuuge project for our beloved newborns a.k.a. object babies 👶😂

🏷️ Please, consider reading all information below. It will help you quick choose your newborn override (since we can have only one option) and warn you about some issues you might have! Shall we? 😌

I create a new texture from scratch. We lvl up from 512x512px to 2048x2048px texture size, better quality, better details, no eye specular reflection, no base game clothes! Clock THAT tea 🍼

The difference between EA base game newborns and this override is incredible! Now you will finally be able to ENJOY looking at them, rather than rushing to make them grow up faster. TRUST ME!  😂

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ🗂️ So, how do you choose right package file? 🧐 ⤵️

❗️First of all, you [must] need to download no default newborn outfits file. This file delete base game clothes from newborn (diapers excluded lol).

📝 Now you can see 3 different folders:

1️⃣ CUSTOM SKIN + MAXIS MATCH OVERLAYS ✅

2️⃣ CUSTOM CLOTHES ✅

3️⃣ PSD ⚒️

Choose 1️⃣ folder, and you will see 2 options: CUSTOM SKIN and MAXIS MATCH OVERLAYS.

📌 if you interested in custom skin color newborn, keep reading this section. 

📌 If you interested in maxis match overlays, skip this part and scroll down. ⬇️

❗️Because this is an override, you can have only one custom skin color in your game at a time❗️

Q: Who might benefit from this option?

A: For those who have been playing for one family for a long time and want to choose exactly how their newborn will look.

📈 Pros: the texture quality and color will be as detailed and bright as possible, and it will not look dull. No seams, pixels, or anything else you could see on ea default skin. 📉 Cons: the only and most significant minus is that now every baby that will be born in the family of your sims or in any other family in the world will look the same. Because this is a default replacement. This is not an overlay, but a separate custom color. If this does not bother you, and you want to change the files in your game from time to time for a certain family - this is your choice!

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ➡️ Lets start with what skin color you prefer for your newborn 👼

I create 5 different shades + alien version (alien will be a default for all alien babies if you choose custom skin version of the file, thats how crib babies works 😂)

🗂️ Example: If you know you will be playing as a light skinned family, you can select the folder under LIGHT COLOR in custom colors folder. Same logic for the rest 5.

Then you will see 2 options: no hair & custom hair 👶!

⚒️ The hair color is different for all 5 shades of the skin to match them good, but there is also red and blond version that is included to PSD i give you, so you can customize this 2 new colors OR The most fun: create your own! The texture is 100% recolorable, how cool is that? Im so proof of myself ;-; 

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ📝 Now we are smoothly moving to maxis match overlays!

Q: Who might benefit from this option?

A: For those who have been playing for one family for a long time and want to choose exactly how their newborn will look.

📈 Pros: the baby will have skin and eye color from both parents. Each baby will be unique (maybe I went overboard with unique, but overall yes 🤣). Improved version of the text that will give babies a fresh look. 📉 Cons: due to the lack of color in the overlays, babies may look pale. Seams and shadows from the cribs may appear (unfortunately, I don't know how to fix this 🥲).

🗂️ Example: all you need to do, its decide about the version of the skin. They pretty same, but still a little bit different! There is face option #1 and #2 up close (they are black&white here because its an overlay, as i said, in game they will got mixed color of their parents!).

➡️ Lets start with face you prefer for your newborn 👼

In MAXIS MATCH OVERLAYS folder there is 2 versions of the skin overlays: №1 is more pale & №2 is more shiny!

👩‍❤️‍👨 Some overlay variations of newborns from different skin color families:

Then you will see 2 options: no hair & custom hair 👶

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ✅ 🥰 Thats it! You pick your newborn new skin! 🥰 ✅

Now its time to dress up your baby! I create some custom clothes for them: couple of socks, bodysuit and a little bow for a girl 🎀🥰

❗️IMPORTANT❗️ If you have any default replacement clothes for newborns, you should delete it before using mine❗️

Choose 2️⃣ CUSTOM CLOTHES folder, and you will see 4 options: 

> Socks only 🧦 Depending on who will born, a boy have blue socks, and a girl have pink socks.

Bodysuit only 🩱Depending on who will born, a boy have blue bodysuit and a girl have pink bodysuit.

Bodysuit + socks 🩱🧦 Depending on who will born, a boy have blue bodysuit and socks & a girl have pink bodysuit and socks.

Bodysuit + socks + bow🩱🧦 🎀 Depending on who will born, the girl will get a little pink bow for the hair.

❗️Note: if you want to use this outfit, you must download skin (custom or overlay) WITH hair option! Because it will look weird if the bow is attached to a bald head 😂👀

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤThats it! 👏🏻 Now you can enjoy your updated little angels 👼

Looks like a lot of information, but trust me its not. I just showed you all options that i create! 🩵

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ‼️‼️ IMPORTANT NOTES THAT I KNOW ABOUT ‼️‼️

💌 I playtest my overrides with different default crib replacements, for some reason they work 50\50. I really have no idea why, but Bassinet Override by @awingedllama works perfect (and looks amazing!) so i highly recommend using their crib replacement with my skins override. Match made in heaven 😂🩷

Why i recommend this? To avoid base game cribs. If you are fine with them, you are fine with them! 🧸

Sadly, any of my overrides DOES NOT work with Invisible Cribs by Severinka [x] & Sixam CC [x] 😔

The reason is because they are both comes with their own texture.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤBUT! I found a solution (i think☠️)!

⚒️ You can change the texture in Sims 4 Studio by yourself:

Open package file in Sims 4 Studio, click on Texture > Import > Import any of my texture you consider having in your game > Save. Custom colors & overlays will work the same as i said above!

Also, to delete eye specular & normal map from the old clothes and old default skin, you should import to SLOT 1 & SLOT 2 two different textures (they are included at the PSD folder).

Now you can use no crib mode & any custom crib override!

💾 3️⃣ You can download PSD files for your personal customization at the same download link. 

🎨 Change everything you need, add new colors for your bodysuit, create a custom hair & eye color. Go for it! 🩷

📲 I made this PSD files super easy to work with, everything is named so you don't get confused, even if you are a new to Photoshop and Sims 4 Studio!

❗️️ ALL CC IS SLIDERS COMPATIBLE ️❗️
