The Sims 4 Modding Tutorial: Testing to see if a mod needs an update

Hey guys!

Today I wanted to discuss how to find out if a mod needs an update or not.

Sims 4 Studio (S4S) download the beta version
Notepad ++
TS4 XML Compare
WinMerge

To begin you are going to follow the same resource extractions that I outlined in my Modding 101: How to make a mod tutorial located here:

Step 1

Important note: If you are just testing the mods, you will need the resource files from BEFORE the patch. I suggest extracting those before you update so you have files to compare against those from the patch.

Make a folder dedicated to modding. Inside this folder should be sub-folders. I’ll show you what mine looks like but set yours up in a way that makes sense to you. Below is the structure of my modding folder with the top line being the main folder:

Sims 4 Mods

–Mods WIP

—–Name of Mod

–Extracted Resources

–Patch 9_24 (this is the date of the old patch)

–Patch 12_4 (this is the date of the new patch)

–Issues

Step 2

Now you are going to extract those resources from Sims 4. Begin by launching S4S and then you will click on the tools tab and select “extract tuning”. At the bottom of the popup window, make sure the “use sub-folders” and “extract all” boxes are checked. Do not have the “use EA naming” box checked. Click on the export button and select the folder you want to extract to (the folders with the date according to when that patch was released). The process takes a fair amount of time, so be patient and leave the program alone. It took almost 10 minutes for mine, so go grab something to drink or two.

Step 3

Once you have finished extracting those resource files, launch the XML Compare program. You will need to set the paths for each line. This is why you were told to put each resource file for that mod into its own folder with the mod. It will make this step easier for you.

“Your XML File” browse to your folder that contains the mod (and its resources) that you are testing. Select all the resource files (don’t do more than 50 at a time) and then select open.
TS4 XML Extract Folders Old: browse to the folder where you placed your old extracted resources (in this case it is the 9_24 folder).
TS4 XML Extract Folders New: browse to the folder where you placed your new extracted resources (in this case it is the 12_4 folder).
Uncheck the box “Open all files in one instance of WinMerge”
Launch WinMerge

You will see a bunch of windows opening and closing, if none of them stay open then your mod does not need updating. The windows that remain open will need updating. Compare the differences between the two windows. The file on the left is your old file and the one on the right is the new resource file. The items in yellow may not need updating and could just mean that things were rearranged and that can be ignored. Items in red will need updating. The way I proceed at this point is to write down the resource files that need updating and what lines were affected. Then I rewrite the mod.

Below are examples using my personal mod; No Auto Computers. As you can see, the items that I need to fix are in yellow. Wait! Didn’t I just say that things in yellow may not need updating? Yes; however, these do. It’s why you should look at every item. These are in yellow because all the instances where I added and/or changed “allow autonomous” to “false” have been removed. I have to put them back. Also, new coding has been added to make this an approved activity for clubs. I need to look at them and see if I want clubs to be able to do this autonomously. I created this mod for my police stations so my detectives didn’t have to fight to get to the computer. So, I don’t care if the NPCs are hogging it up at the library. I will keep that club addition in the script.

What I do is I open the old mod with S4S and then open the changed resource file in Notepad++. Since I wrote down the lines that were changed, I scroll to those and make the changes in the new resource files so that they are doing the same thing that they did in the old mod. Once I have made all the changes, I save the mod with a new version number at the end. I like to keep my things organized so the new mod and the new resource files are placed inside a folder titled “12_4 Mod Updates”. It makes it easier to find them for the next update.

Once you have made the changes, test your mod in game but first be sure to delete that localthumbscache.package first.

The Sims 4 Get Together: Animations Reel by Zachary Gillespie

Zachary Gillespie, one of the animators for The Sims 4, added a video of all the work he made for not only Get Together, but also the newly improved reactions that were added in the Base Game.

These are just a few of the cycles I worked on for The Sims 4: Get Together as well as some engagement animations that were added to the base game.

The Sims 4 Build Tutorial: How to build a Tudor House!

Building a Tudor House

This is a step-by-step guide on how to make a Tudor house. With Get together out everyone is excited and overwhelmed by all of the new features, items and places! I thought I’d show you how to make the houses you build yourself fit perfectly in to the new town Windenburg! There are many ways to do it, and there are loads of designs to go for. I have to admit it was hard to pick what kind of house I wanted to choose for this guide, but I went for a small, cozy and absolutely affordable house!

The Shape:

Start by making a small rectangle like this:

Add another rectangle on top, make sure it overlaps two squares over on the sides, and one on the front and back, like this:

Add a little room to the second floor, make it poke yet another square out and make sure it’s centered (so the windows can be placed symmetrically):

Add a gabled roof over the entire big rectangle, like so:

Add a smaller gabled roof to the little room, and make sure it’s rotated so the gable faces the road:

Exterior design:

Change the roof color to something a bit more “tired and worn out”:

Add a brick base to your house, and pick a wallpaper that is embellished with wooden beams or similar (I like having the walls of the roof in a different, more embellished wallpaper):

Add a wall- and roof-trim that matches your wooden accent colors:

Add different types of windows in the same color, and place them symmetrically around the house, then add a door to the far right corner, like so:

Add some climbing flowers to the walls to make it look a bit more “old-timey” and cozy, and put some flower boxes under the windows:

Make a flower bed out of rocks under the first floor’s windows and add brick tiles from the end of the road, to the end of your house:

It just wouldn’t be a Little_Crude house if it didn’t have a curvy path going up to the door:

Then add some details around the house, I put up some benches and a fountain on the left side:

And flowers in flower-boxes on the right side, and where the brick tiles end I placed bushes and trees to separate the courtyard from the garden::

Last but not least some decorative roofs and a chimney:

And that’s how you build a Tudor house fit perfectly for Windenburg!

Enjoy!

The Sims Blog: Why Your Sims Now Have Bigger Reactions to Death (and Fire!)

In Case of Fire…

We’ve been making improvement to how Sims react to events happening around them in The Sims 4. The first major change to this Reactions system was the Jealousy update, which improved how Sims react to their loved ones cheating on them. Fire and death are two huge moments in any Sim’s life, so they were next on the list to make bigger and better – and earlier this month, we did just that.

Though it might sound grisly, fire and death (including death by fire!) have been a core part of The Sims franchise ever since the first Sims game was released over 15 years ago.

Fire fire!

We noticed that sometimes, Sims were reacting in a lukewarm (pun intended) fashion to the raging infernos around them. On some occasions they wouldn’t even recognize a fire was going on near them and continue doing what they were doing before. This led to some unbelievable situations, like a Sim watching their favorite TV show, oblivious to the fact that their stove was on fire. (We’ve all sort of been there, right?)

We’ve made improvements so that Sims realize that there’s a fire sooner. When one Sim discovers a fire, they’ll also alert the rest of the Sims in the house to the fire. This’ll give all the Sims a chance to escape the building in case the fire grows out of control. Once they reach safety, they’ll sigh in relief and play different animations depending on their traits. Most Sims will panic, but evil Sims will cackle, and Gloomy Sims will cry. Factoring in the traits of your unique Sim into our Reaction system is one of the ways we’re making Sims more believable than ever.

Grim Affairs

Death is a part of every Sim’s story, and we weren’t totally satisfied with how Sims reacted to the grim occurrence when it did happen near them. Sims would often mourn for the fallen Sim, but the moment that ol’ Grimmy showed up to reap them, they’d be perfectly fine afterwards. This didn’t feel believable. We’ve made several improvements to how Sims react to death and its steward, the Grim Reaper.

First of all, Sims will play an initial reaction animation when another Sim dies. It felt unrealistic that a Sim would see a body and just begin crying, so we added a set of animations that play upon “discovering” a dead Sim. In addition to this, Sims will now react differently to another Sim’s death depending on their relationship with the recently deceased. Sims with higher relationship will sob more heavily, while Sims with very negative relationships (like enemies!) might even cheer at the Sim’s death. How morbid!

We also felt like the Grim Reaper wasn’t getting enough respect. The embodiment of death would appear, and Sims around him would simply continue doing what they normally did. We don’t know about you, but if the Reaper appeared next to our Sim, we’d sure freak out! After this past update, when the Grim Reaper appears to reap a dead Sim, other Sims around him will gasp and react to the Reaper’s presence.

Speaking of the Grim Reaper, remember that you can plead with him to spare your Sim’s soul. We’ve added some new reactions if your plea succeeds!

We hope you’ll have fun playing, and let us know about all the ferocious fires and deadly situations your Sims get into.

The Sims 4: New Game Update (December 17th, 2015)

The Sims Team has released a brand new Update for The Sims 4, addressing come crucial bugs that came with the 64bit update.

To download the latest version of The Sims 4, simply open your Origin program and if the game doesn’t update automatically, right click on The Sims 4 and select ”Update”.

Update: 12/17/2015 – PC Version 1.13.106.1010 / Mac Version 1.13.106.1210

Hey Simmers!

This is SimGuruGnome on the Issue-Chop Express and I’m writin’ to whoever’s readin’.

It’s like I told the last public relations rep, I says “SimGuruDrake, I never write more than I can read. Besides that, it’s all in the spellchecker.”

But just listen to the Issue-Chop Express and take the Gnome’s advice. When some wild-eyed Sim wanders by, knocks on your front door and asks you “Sul sul, plerg majah bliff?” You just stare them back in the eye and remember what the Gnome always says.

“Plerg majah bliff? Neeshga, voo oonapa oonsosh…”

So, what have we done?

We have addressed a few PC 64 bit specific issues that were quickly identified by the community.

Videos will no longer be blank when played back on some video players.

Sims will no longer flicker in dim light.

Telling your Sim to use the toilet will no longer cancel other actions already in their action queue.

It has been noted that our Sims have taken to WooHoo a bit more frequently than has been the norm. Perhaps it is the winter months, perhaps it is the coming of Spring… perhaps it…

Yea… it’s too much. Autonomous woohoo is allowed, but we have reduced the frequency at which Sims choose to, increased the restrictions for “why they are allowed to”, and generally have requested that Sims seek hoo in less wooful ways.

Description hashtags (#hashtag) in the Gallery are once again clickable.

And as a result, trending hashtags are back in the Gallery.

We have also fixed an issue with mp3 playback in custom music that was causing some mp3 files to not be recognized.

Club outfits will now work better with Custom Content.

Thanks again for listenin’ to the Issue-Chop Express, and take this advice on a stormy night, when the game’s playin’, the music’s roarin’, and the data’s downloadin’ in sheets as thick as a bunch of streaming green numbers, letters, and symbols (because that’s what the pattern looks like). Remember what old SimGuruGnome does when the neighborhood shakes with life, and the abductions come from the sky, and the pillars of the Goth’s estate quake. Yeah, SimGuruGnome just looks that big old storm right square in the eye and says “Gimme your best ob-la-di pal. Ob-la-da… ob-la-da.”

Until next time,

SimGuruGnome

The Sims Blog: 5 Tips to Upgrade your Club in The Sims 4 Get Together

Up Your Club Game

The Sims 4 Get Together* released last week, and I’ve already heard of some absurd and amazing Clubs that you’ve put together using the new Club system. But if you’re still looking for advice on creating a perfect group of Sims to hang out with, we put together some tips to get you started.

Find Like Minded Sims. Have you ever wondered what Sims in your World are ambitious? There’s one quick way to find out: create your very own “Ambitious Club” using the Club Requirements. Set a Requirement to have the Ambitious Trait, and go to add a member to your Club. Because you have set a Club Requirement, it will only show the Sims that fit the Requirements. Suddenly, boom – a list of your World’s Ambitious Sims.

Nail the Outfit. After you create your Club don’t forget to customize their outfit. Go to the Club Panel in the lower right corner and click the shirt icon to customize your Club’s outfit. You can set a style, Color, or go all out and customize the Club’s exact outfit. And don’t forget to purchase the Club Jacket or Hat with your Club points!

Build Your Hangout. Every Club needs a place to call their own. You can turn just about any location into your Club hangout. In the Club Manager, you can click the house icon, and set a location to your Club hangout. Once you select a location you can go to that location and build out what you want for a Club’s space. Some of my favorites are a secret backroom, basement, or rooftop lounge. Once you build out the location don’t forget to place a door down and lock it to only members of your Club.

Buying Club Perks. As your Club gathers and performs Club Activities they will gain Club Points. These points can be spent on a various perks that will further customize your Club. If your Club is all about exercising you may want to purchase the Fitness Boost perk. This will boost the speed at which your Sims gain fitness skill while in a Club gathering. You can also purchase things like Club Handshakes and powerful Club vibes to set the mood of your Club. If you have a romantic Club you may want to purchase the Strong Flirty Club Vibe. You will be able to use this to turn up the heat during your Club gathering and make everyone flirty.

Setting Targeted Rules. You may want to set rules to act out on specific types of Sims. When you set a social rule you will be able to designate a target. For example you can set a rule to Be Mischievous to Everyone, a Specific Club, or a Specific Age. You can use this to set up rival clubs. For this example we can set the rule to be mischievous everyone, however we do not want our Club to be mischievous to themselves so we need to set up a Banned activity that is Don’t Be Mischievous to our specific Club. In this case it is the Drama Lamas.
