How To Fix Custom Traits After The Patch With S4S

konansock:

First of all, thanks to Andrew and Orangemittens for the awesome work
with S4S, which I use to mod all the time, you can download S4S here:

Today I’ll show some Simmers how to fix the custom traits after the latest patch:

1. Open up the outdated mod in S4S.

Open up S4S, and then click on ‘My Project’ on the top right corner, find the mod, and then click ‘Open‘ to open it up in S4S.

2. Click on the trait tuning file in the left column.

I’ll take the Unemotional Trait on MTS as an example…as I already updated my traits.

3. Add the species line into the trait tuning file, between the icon line and the tags line.

Code:

<E n=“min_lod_value”>MINIMUM</E>
 <L n=“species”>
   <E />
 </L>

4. Add the ui_category line into the trait tuning file, under the trait_type line.

Code:

<V n=“ui_category” t=“ui_trait_category_tag” />

5. Select the corresponding DATA file in the left column.
The corresponding DATA file has the same Instance ID as the tuning file.

The
‘EE6F461676AC26EC‘ is the instance in this case. If there a lot of
files, you can click on the Instance column and make the files display
in the order of Instance.

6. Add the additional species line between the icon line and tags line, in the Instance part of the file.

Code:

<L name=“species”>
       <T type=“Int64”>1</T>
</L>

7. Add the additional species line between the icon line and tags line, in the Scheme part of the file.

Code:

<Column name=“species” type=“Vector” flags=“0x00000000” />

8.
Add the additional ui_category line under the trait_type line, in the Instance part of the file.

Code:

<V name=“ui_category” variant=“0x603EAA6C”>
       <T type=“Int64”>0</T>
     </V>

9.
Add the additional ui_category line under the trait_type line, in the
Scheme

part of the file.

Code:

<Column name=“ui_category” type=“Variant” flags=“0x00000000” />


10. Some of the traits are so outdated that they
did not include stuffs added in the toddler patch. In that case, you
have to do the same things for the files. In this case, the tags, ages
and versions all need to be updated.

The best method is to
use S4S to open up an in-game trait, and then compare the difference
between the traits and the mod files.

Use the ‘Extract Tuning‘ tool to open up and export an in-game trait.

10. Extract the Tuning File to the pachage.

11.Make sure all the lines are identical to the in-game traits, then  the updating is finished.

The trait shows up in the game.

Candy Dispenser Update

— Updated to Pets Patch (PC – 1.36.99.1020 / Mac 1.36.99.1220)

— New interaction – ’ Buy Sugar Skulls’

— The interaction opens up a Purchase menu which has 10 new edible Sugar skulls to buy

— the Candies and Sugar skulls now give custom buffs on consumption. There are a total of 11 new buffs ( 10 for the 10 candies and 1 for all the sugar skulls)  
( Refer to the pictures attached for custom buffs. Also please read the descriptions! . I am pun-y or what  )

— Fixed the transparency issues with the Candy Bins ( the glass should look like glass and not like empty space! )

Candle Crafting Station

Made some progress with the Candle crafting station 🙂

Plan- 

1. Make 20 Candles – novelty + classic candles —– 7 done

Each candle has 4 interactions – On/Off/View/Smell with buffs and failure actions

2. Add ingredient requirement all the Candles ( wax, fruits, veggies, flowers)

3. Buyable Candle making kit ( with glue, glitter, dye) – Should i do this ?

4. Make 1-2 buffs for each of the 20 candles

5. Refine/ rework the Chance of Candle melting/ other failure actions

6. Candle crafting Skill -10 level skill + Skill Books



Note – I have only the Candy Dispenser left to update (going to post that tomorrow). Rest have all been updated 🙂 (phew! )

Brittany’s Mods fixed!

konansock:

Hello, fellow Simmers, I met Brittany ( @brittpinkiesims ) last year and she inspired me to mod, and helped me a lot throughout the time!

However, Brittany is on hiatus and therefore cannot update her mods, therefore, I asked if I could update her mods for fellow Simmers, and she replied:

So…I did.

The following mods are fixed by me:

  • Fashion Career
  • Funeral Mod
  • Graduation Mod
  • Harry Potter Traits

Her other mods are up to date, to my knowledge(I’m using them myself!) . Spread the word if you can, as Brittany won’t be back in the near future 😦 and I know a lot of Simmers want her mods to be up to date.

Happy Simming!
