New Tutorial Series for Beginners (Patreon)

Using new, easier tools and videos!

I was going nuts with all the animations in game so I decided to take a break and write this thing, this new series will be hosted on Drive and will be linked in full in this post so it's easier to find. We'll be using new tools that have been created since my last tutorials and see things in game with videos.

01 - Introduction to the new Tutorials

02 - Basic S4S and TDESC Browser Operations (Video)

• How to move around in Sims 4 Studio if you never ever used it and can't even start making a mod.

03 - Workflow (Video)

Making of a Reward trait, no steps skipped, for total beginners. Tools used in order:

• Sims 4 Studio (I'm not using the open beta version yet because of a problem with scrolling the local tuning it has)
• TDESC Browser
• Sims 4 Image Viewer
• STBL Studio
• Lot51 Core Library

04 - Lets Make a Buff (pt 1) (Video)

This is the last "change name, ID, bloody SimData" boring one, I promise... we're going to turn this buff into what you'll see at the end of the video next. In this you'll see how to make a simple moodlet and how to make a simple loot action to give it to Sims. Bonus: you're going to see the loot_on_trait_add options of the traits. Next we'll make interactions and some other fun things.

05 - Making of a Full Mod (Videos)

I went a bit overboard with this one and recorded the full making of a mod. Starting from simple, a skill, we'll be covering a bunch of things like using traits and buffs in a full mod, interactions, adding interactions to existing objects, and even a situation. This will be long, I already have some 3h recorded and still haven't completed the mod.

Don't start directly from this one, watch the basics first if you don't know how to move around the tuning, this one is only going to confuse you.

• The Skill - Part 2 (NEW!!)

How to Fix "Sims start Dancing when Running a Custom Interaction"

If you ever encounter this problem, this is one way to fix it. I still have to cut the next video of my tutorial series, so this is for people who're already venturing into making SocialSuperInteractions. It works for other problematic postures too, not only dancing.
