JA NO PLUMBBOBS - NEIGHBORHOOD ONLY EDIT

This is just an extract from the well-known ja-viera’s No Plumbbobs mod. The mod originally appears in two versions: the full version (hiding all plumbbobs and special indicators in the game: over the sims, pets, and lots in NH view), and Sims-only version (just a part that hiding only visible-on-lot indicators). You can found both in the @sims2packratre-hosted sfs folder.

I find the indicators above the sims’ heads useful, and prefer to hide them in other ways if I need it. But in neighborhood view special indicators (plumbbobs, simoleons, luggages etc) are pretty useless for my gameplay and inappropriate during the screenshoting. Well, I have separated the NH part of the mod to solve this.

All credits goes to Ja-viera,I just removed the lot-related resources from the file.

These screenshots may seem quite random and usual (and they are) but what they really show is that I am now officially moved my game from MacOS to Windows! Which means that after 6 years of struggle with glitchy reflections, no Stuff Packs, no Magic, no Hobbies, no ceilings, no shiftable wall decor and so on, I can now fully enjoy things!

Lament for Bella.

“OK, you all know the orders, right? Matar and I will take care of the Princess. Auriga and Feyrora, you both take care of the Queen!”

“Great! Now, let’s get inside before anyone gets suspicious of us!”

“It looks like all of the guests have finally arrived, let’s proceed to the next step!”

“Psst! Not here! You know this will only make people suspicious! I’ll join you two in the kitchen.”

I guess … now or never!

“Alright, sweetie! Matar will come later to clean up the mess! I’ll take care of the Princess now.”

(in the meanwhile)

“Excuse me, yourmajesty? But you wouldn’t probably think that I was going to dine in my dancewear, would you? Where can I change my dress?”

“Uhmm… yeah, sure, miss! My bad! This way, miss!”

…

“Cassie, my dear princess, are you in here, honey?”

“SIRIUS??!! WHAT IS GOING ON?!”

“I… I can explain… she was just…”

“OH, REALLY! I can explain better, YOU DIRTY DOG, YOU!! GET LOST, NOW!! How could you cheat on me… in OUR DAUGHTER’S BED and most importantly, at MY GALA DINNER!”

“Sirius, that was hot!”

“OH, don’t you even get me started! WHO INVITED YOU EVEN IN?!”

“Take that, your majesty!”

“Your majesty, I love your beautiful crown! It alerts me to immediatelyhate you!”

“Mom, I know the annual gala dinner is very important for you, but I don’t think I want to be a part of it this year…”

“Why?! You’re going to be a part of it, girl! No matter what!”

“Well… may I request to remove my boyfriend Tapaho from the invitation list then? Because I don’t want to see him ever again.”

“If that’s what you want, sure!”

“Don’t worry, everything will be alright! I’ll be here with you!”

“So far, we have… Neptune, Poseidon, Persephone, Selene, Melboula and Matar, who should we also invite?”

“How about Feyrora? I think you missed Feyrora…”

“Ehh, no? Because she will obviously NOT come?!”

*doorbell rings*

“Oh right, that must be the caterers we’ve ordered! Let me greet them real quick! In the meanwhile, don’t do any other invitations!”

“Greetings! Glad you could make it on time. Here’s the lobster you’ll need for the Lobster Thermidor and for dessert, we’d like you to serve Baked Alaska. Any questions? Good? Good!”

“Phew, the door is still open! I’m sorry babe! I.. uhm.. really didn’t want to be late!”

“May I have your name, sir?”

“Taphao Thong Fenhong.”

“Your name is not on the invitation list, I’m afraid. We’re sorry, but we kindly ask you to leave now!”

“What? NOO!! This can’t be true! I’m Cassiopeia’s boyfriend… Cassie, can you ask them to let me in? Cassie? CASSIE?!”

“I’ll be over at my dad’s house tonight, so I can’t join you guys, I’m sorry! But I hope you guys still have fun! See you!”

“Well, I guess it’ll just be the two of us now! May I ask my beautiful sister for a dance?”

“Now you really sound like Mom, stop being so polite, lol!”

A few more pictures from around the okiya ^^

I use the Merīminsutoreruset from Blue Haven to take some fun geiko themed pictures with poses and props ^^

Some scenery pictures of Pleasantfort, in case you need a break from the orange sands of Arizona! :D

There’s still a long way to go! I need to build the townie owned businesses, like the tavern for example, and of course the Pleasant Castle, the Burb and Oldie Estates and the Jacoban Church. These lots will be huge and, honestly, I’m a bit intimidated… I will use references for the castle and estates to try and make them look as realistic as possible; I will probably use pictures of German Castles, ‘cause I’ve seen some astonishing sceneries on Instagram and I would be super intrigued in recreating such buildings in the game. I’m open to suggestions!

I’m falling in love with this 60s groovy furniture:D

These are just some random pictures of that tall apartment building I’m still finishing to furnish. I’ve been caught up with Douglasville and now Nìssos Sìmonos, so I haven’t had the time to finish that lot… there are still so many floors to furnish :‘c

Current progress on the city of Sìmonos! It’s taking shape :)
