The Sims 4: Easy Way to make your CAS CC Unisex

Although Create A Sim Custom Content will work after the latest Patch, the CAS Items won’t be unisex but only available for the gender they were originally designed.

If you have a lot of content to update and not a lot of time, you can batch-fix all of the CAS CC you have using Sims 4 Studio’s latest ‘Jackpot’ version!

However, it is recommended that you update your content manually, using the tools provided by SimGuruDevSquad!

You can download the latest Sims 4 Studio version by clicking the download button down below. Please note that you need to register to sims4studio.com first before downloading the program.

0

The modding community continues to impress!

Mod The Sims member necrodog created a Mod for The Sims 4 that not only introduces 6 new Pizza Recipes, but also lets you Bake them in the comfort of your Home using a custom-made oven!

The 1,000 Simoleon-worth Rustic Clay Oven has a special ‘Bake Pizza’ interaction (among other basic stove interactions) that will allow you to bake 6 following Pizza recipes:

Using the mixture of previous baking animations, necrodog made the whole process of baking Pizza realistic!

You can get this Mod by clicking the download button below. I tested it myself and it works flawlessly with the latest update.

The Sims 4: Breakdown of Buff Mods

The latest patch has made a small change to the XML code used in buff files, renaming “gameplay_effect_modifiers” to “gameplay_effect_modifier” (note the lack of plural). In this small change, buffs that use the old name no longer work.

This means that gameplay modifiers, such as changes to need and skill rates, applied to buffs will no longer work. This includes the vast majority of custom traits.

MTS_Zerbu-1477398-Pleasure5

I have created a special tool that reads .package files and automatically performs a find-and-replace on buff resources. If you are a mod user, you can simply run the program and you’ll be able to use the mods again without redownloading anything (assuming that nothing else broke with the patch). If you are a mod creator, you can run the program and then reupload the package.

You can run the repair tool on multiple .package files at once. I recommend running it on every gameplay mod you have, to ensure that all the effects work properly.

You can download the tool by clicking the download button below!

The Sims 4 Tutorial: How to Get Same-Sex Couples Pregnant

No Mods Required!

The June 2016 update for The Sims 4 added more gender options for Sims. One of those options is if the Sim will be able to be pregnant or be able to impregnate other Sims. With this option same-sex couples will be able to become pregnant and have children with no adoption or mods required! If you already have a same-sex couple in your game and you want them to have kids, follow these easy steps demonstrated by the Larson family and the Matson Family:

Firstly, go to a dresser and select “Change Sim”

06-03-16_6-17-13 PM

When CAS has loaded go to the custom gender settings.

If you have a gay couple, choose the “Become Pregnant” option for one of the Sims. Make sure their partner has the “Get others pregnant” option selected

06-03-16_6-17-59 PM

If you have a lesbian couple, choose the “Get others pregnant” option for one of your Sims. Make sure their partner has the “Become Pregnant” option selected.

06-03-16_6-18-19 PM

And that’s it! Your couple should now have the “Try for Baby” interaction!

Happy impregnating!

This Update unlocks so much creativity for you to unleash! Even though the Live Mode features are pretty much the same, the stories you’ll be able to tell with the help of Gender Customization Features are limitless!

The Sims 4: CAS Custom Content and the new Patch

SimGuruModSquad elaborated what happens to CAS Custom Content after the latest The Sims 4 Update!

With today’s patch, CAS CC should continue to function as it did previously.

However we intentionally do not allow legacy CC to be used on the opposite gender or opposite gendered frame. This is because there are new authoring requirements in order for CAS parts to work in the new system. So CAS CC will need to be updated to work with opposite genders.

Full technical details for community tool makers are available here.

  • You can advertise your restaurant similar to how you can advertise retail stores.
