THE GRASS
My autumn grass includes recolors of kiwisims4’s default replacement grass and Granite Falls grass replacement, zerbu’s road texture grass and k-hippie’s terrain paints. Thank you all so much for letting me include the recolors!
If you already have a default grass installed, please move it out of Mods when you use my autumn version (you can of course use the autumn mod without any grass override or with the original textures linked above).
THE PLANTS
You will find a plant here and there that isn’t autumn-y (I know there’s a hedge and a rock with grass on it), but I’ve looked and looked for the last plants and I haven’t found them. When I do I’ll update the files (^^*)
This was made with Willow Creek in mind. Oasis Springs and Granite Falls look okay, but a bit strange (Granite Falls is a little dark for some of the textures and Oasis Springs gets very orange).
340 override plant recolors (don’t worry, the download is only 6 files, 7 if you download the grass)
Most of the plants in the game will be replaced, but when you remove the files from Mods everything will go back to normal

The Sims 4 Perfect Patio Stuff Pack* came out this week, and includes some fun outfits, items, and décor to help class up your backyard. But the biggest addition in the pack is absolutely the hot tub – a hot tub that’s, in our opinion, the coolest one we’ve ever made.
We’ve gathered up the reasons we think this hot tub is the best in The Sims’ history.
It fits up to eight Sims. In the past, hot tubs could only fit two or four Sims. We wanted to up the ante this time, allowing eight Sims to enjoy the comforting water. That’s a full household of Sims, all enjoying the hot tub together!
Adults and children can relax inside. While you might have thought hot tubbin’ was only for grownups, but in The Sims 4 Perfect Patio Stuff, children can sit in the hot tub alongside adults, teens, and elderly Sims.
You can put it just about anywhere. Want to put the hot tub inside? Cool. Do it! In the basement? That’s fine. Against a wall? Sure. In a corner? Why not!? Sims will find their way into and out of the hot tub basically anywhere you put it. They’re clever like that.
Sims can watch TV from in the hot tub. Previously, Sims inside of hot tubs really only interacted with people and things inside with it. Now, Sims can chat with people on the outside, and even watch a TV within viewing range. Basically, we’re saying you can replace all of your couches with hot tubs.
Your Sims can bring drinks inside. Did you ever have a hot tub when you were younger? Did your parents yell at you for trying to sneak a drink inside because you might spill it? Well good news! They’re not the boss of your The Sims 4 Perfect Patio Stuff hot tub. Go ahead – tell your Sim to take that juice right inside. We won’t tell.
Sims can skinny dip in the hot tub. Sure, the stuff pack includes a number of playful bathing suits for your Sims, but if they’re feeling more – erm – adventurous, they can take to the tub in the nude.
It can be upgraded with a stereo and aromatherapy. What’s more relaxing than sitting in calming, warm water? Sitting in calming, warm water while fun music plays and pleasant aromas emerge from your Sim’s recently upgraded hot tub. You can even change the color of the light in the hot tub, but that’s not an update – that comes standard. Fancy, right?
The aromatherapy has a devious Easter egg. Yeah, there’s a really cool Easter egg. Want to know what it is? Lean in, we’ll whisper it to you…ready? HA! Just kidding. It’s an Easter egg, we’re not revealing anything else! You need to find it for yourself!
We’re really happy with how the hot tub turned out, and we hope your Sims enjoy using it in The Sims 4 Perfect Patio Stuff!
The Sims 4 Perfect Patio is now available!

Hey guys!
Newcrest has been out for 8 hours now (yes, I am counting hours) and most Simmers (including me) have started populating this World with Sims and Houses. Sims don’t represent a big issue with Newcrest as Neighborhoods are never empty thanks to townies + NPC Sims can move in automatically (Fill Empty Homes option in Settings). But, placing down lots can be kinda hard work, especially when it comes to fitting in the right style of Houses and Community Lots inside a Neighborhood.
I’ve managed to build Newcrest by placing some of the cool Lots uploaded in The Gallery, created by talented Simmers. If you like the way I sorted things out you can search the Lot names (or creators) in The Gallery I posted down below and place the following Lots and Houses in your game.
Neighborhood #1
Neighborhood #2
Neighborhood #3
PekeSims found 5 Soundtrack names that will be included in The Sims 4 Perfect Patio Stuff inside the latest patch game files. These Soundtrack pieces are expected to be categorized under the Backyard radio station.

“All Nighter”, Lindsay Ell
“Makes Me Feel Good”, Natalie Stovall

The Sims 4’s in-game Gallery confirmed that The Sims 4 Perfect Patio will be releasing on June 16th!

With the all-new hot tub, your Sims can melt away their stress and kick back for a relaxing day in the sun.

Fan feedback inspires a new neighborhood.
Fans of The Sims 4 have been vocal about wanting more space to build their Sims’ homes on, so earlier this month, the team announced that it would be adding the world of Newcrest to The Sims 4 for free*.
Learn more about the inspiration behind this new content with The Sims 4 Creative Director, Lyndsay Pearson.
Fans Wanted Space
Our team spends a lot of time reading feedback and comments on Twitter, Facebook, forums, and other social media sites. It was really clear that players were looking for more space for their Sims to inhabit. We also knew that as we continued to expand the gameplay possibilities, they would need more space.
Creating Newcrest
We set up a brainstorming session with our environment team about what we could do next. At the time we were working on The Sims 4 Get to Work, and we’d just released the Genealogy Update. It made sense that we would need to provide more space for folks to move their Sims into.
So we came up with this idea to combine elements of Oasis Springs and Willow Creek to create this new space – Newcrest.
A Blank Slate
After confirming that the environment team was able to work on this content, the next thing we had to decide was what to fill it with. Or rather, what to not fill it with. The community’s overwhelming request for space to tell their stories made it clear – we should make it a blank canvas.
Since The Sims 4 Gallery allows players to quickly download interesting creations from other Simmers, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to let players turn this new space into whatever they wanted it to be! Now, we can’t wait to see what exciting creations our players will chose to build or drop into Newcrest.
The Sims team has released a new patch with Newcrest, new features and bug fixes!
Make sure you remove all Custom Content and Mods before installing the new Patch.
Update: 06/11/2015 – PC Version 1.8.61.1020 / Mac Version 1.8.61.1220
Hey Simmers,
It’s Thursday! There’s some exciting Stuff happening just around the corner, and we have a release to release to you… in this release. So, stretch out to a new world, welcome your Sims with a little fruitcake, and draw up a room where you can place a chair to sit in, in order to relax, if that is your inclination, or perhaps you’re more of an on the edge of your seat type of person, in which case you shouldn’t sit back, because that wouldn’t really make sense…
…well, anyway.
Um, what’s new!?
We have heard the cries from the mountain tops for space (“My Sims need space!” <- see right there). And so, welcome to Newcrest! Fifteen lots await your creative hand to build to your desire. OR if you are less inclined to build from scratch, jump into the Gallery and populate your world from your fellow Simmers’ creations. Some have already built some amazing lots, just search for #BuildNewcrest.
The return of the Welcome Wagon! Have you been finding it difficult to break the ice with your neighbors? Can’t seem to get anyone to come to the door and engage in a deep conversation about dinosaurs or your insecurities? Now when you move in to a new lot, your neighbors* will arrive with a welcoming smile and a pound of fruitcake.
*Please note: fruit cake, welcoming smile, and inviting neighbors require neighbors.
And to answer the unanswerable question of where does a lawn ornament go when their time is up, the Reagnomper gnome has been seen skulking about the Build catalog.
Tutorials have been given a facelift! Introductory dialogs now provide context as to the mode or lesson being taught, and allow you to skip a portion of the tutorial that you may already be familiar with.
A new tool, the Custom Room Tool, is now in Build Mode. This tool will allow you to draw your own room shapes.
- You can find the tool in the Walls and Empty Rooms sort in Build Mode.
- As you draw, each click will place a new wall segment, an indicator of the last clicked position, and a starting position. To complete the room, click back to the starting position.
- The last clicked position provides information to you in regards to the undo behavior.
And what about issues we’ve fixed?
Issues (General)
- We fixed a plagiarism issue that was allowing the “Original by” creator information associated with a lot or room to become lost after using the placement option via Manage Worlds and then re-uploading the lot to the Gallery.
- Sims in inactive households will no longer find themselves conscripted into unwanted jobs.
- You! Yes you ‘in the inactive household’ behind the ‘build structure that approximates the appearance of a’ grandstand. Stand still, Simmie!
- We fixed an issue that could cause corruption of the save files when players attempted to share their save files with one another.
- Using the “Enchanting Introduction” while running on a treadmill will no longer cause the Sim to sink into the treadmill.
- Working Out will no longer satisfy the Mentor Fitness or Study Opponents daily tasks from Professional Athlete and Bodybuilder career branches.
- Hungry Ghosts will no longer be informed that they might drown while they are swimming… mostly because we couldn’t quite agree from a philosophical approach about what it means to die when dead.
- I suppose if you consider the ghost as a reanimation of former life, it is possible that the re-death would result in a termination of that animation. But not all agree that the ghost is a reanimation, but rather a reflection of the former Sims spirit housed in a ghostly apparition. In which case, death of a reflection no longer made sense.
- Discussions on a Sims development team can get quite odd sometimes…
- don’t ask me about woohoo.
- Fixed an issue that could prevent the player from editing the relationships of a household that was downloaded from the Gallery and merged with a currently non-played household.
- Candles will no longer be impacted by the paying of or lack of paying bills.
- Much to our dismay, it turns out that candles don’t actually draw their fuel source from the power grid, but instead rely upon a rudimentary combustion for their fuel, or in some cases battery power. Neither of which are impacted by payment of bills. Huh, crazy I know.
- Ask on Date was available as an option earlier than intended, resulting in many Sims hopes being dashed without any possibility of success.
- I remember those times.
Issues (Get to Work)
- Aliens have begun to adjust to the strange and scary visiting Sims to their home world and are more likely to venture from their homes, if only to catch a glimpse of a Sim.
- Male Sims that reach level 10 in the detective career will now properly unlock the prison jumpsuit in Create a Sim.
- Fixed an issue that was failing to save the mannequin outfit, resulting in the mannequin display reverting to another outfit rather the players setting.
Issues (Luxury Party Stuff)
- Fruit Punch Fountain will now appear charred when charred.
- Ok, you probably didn’t run into this (crosses fingers)… but if you ran into the “why doesn’t it burn issue” that was briefly possible in late May, and you have installed Luxury Party Stuff and you then attempted to upload to the Gallery or bulldoze the lot that had the burn issue, you may have found yourself in a “my lot is corrupted, life has ended, I see a light” state of mind, or maybe not to that extreme. This issue has now been fixed.
Much appreciation for your time, feedback, and patience,
-SimGuruGnome
