My Sims Story Planning Document

-

 



This is a much neater version of the document I use to plan out my story. It's designed so it can be altered or deleted according to your needs. It has a section for notes, misc notes, character planning, chapter planning, a box to 'store' helpful links, challenge / points tracker, a space to develop the plot, and more. You can get rid of what doesn't apply to you, and you can add more if needed. And it's me, so there's a few little jokey bits thrown in on the examples.

I hope this might come in helpful for some SimLit writers or challenge players! It might be a fun way to track your challenge progress in one place and keep notes on what happens to look back on later.

Sims 4 Custom Content: Reducing CC File Size

-
Image
If you're wanting to trim down the size of your CC folder, there are some easy ways to do it that don't always involve deleting the CC outright. Some are more time consuming than others. I admit it took me hours cutting down file size since I went through a lot of it cutting out unecessary texture, but also I have a ton of clutter. I managed to trim off a few gig by doing all of these things though, so if you like saving space this will come in handy.  UPDATE: 25/07/25: I have had at least 3 hits from ChatGPT on this blog. If this is a result from one of you running this through ChatGPT to summarise it - DO NOT RUN ANY OF THIS BLOG THROUGH AI. I explain things at length to ensure CLARITY OF INSTRUCTION. If you screw up your project because you let your misinformation robot friend summarise the thing I spent HOURS writing, don't come crying to me asking for further help. And don't ask your misinformation robot friend for help either - READ THE DAMN TUTORIAL.  YOU ...

CAS CC Tutorial: Making Glowing-Edge CAS CC - Body Parts and CAS Objects

-

Through curiosity and looking at Valhallansim's Bloodtotem Horns  from 2017 in Blender, and a little help from a friend, in looking at the mesh I realised - did I just figure out how to make the glowing body parts and CAS objects? And eventually I did. It took me like 6 hours, but...! I tried to figure out through some trial and error and many fuck-ups how to make glowing-edged body parts and then CAS items as well. At first I thought Valhallan had extruded the 'edges' of the mesh and made them glow and made it SimGlass for transparent edges, but that's not it. It's a lot easier actually how that edge glow works! So now I'm going to teach you what I learned to the best of my ability. You've seen this style here with Valhallansim's Bloodtotem horns and also Zynoox's Tian Horn s on CAS objects. You may also remember in 2024 Strangegrapefruit made the cool glowing hands and arms that were popular. Thank you to anon friend who helped me as I...

The 'Can't Be Assed' Guide to Sims Screenshot Editing

-

 *also the Time-Strapped Simmer's Guide and the Not Familiar with Art Processors Guide I often can't be assed - a British slang term for 'can't be bothered'. Everyone knows I love my shortcuts and lazy ways of doing things. So let me show you some quick and fairly low effort ways to edit screenshots. No CC, No Gshade, no ReShade, no ReLight, no graphics tablet, no paid art programs. This guide is designed to be as easy to use as possible, so it will describe some things that you may find easy and not need describing. You need to remember that this community has a varying level of computer knowledge, age ranges and the like which is why I'm trying to give as clear intsructions as is possible.  Last updated: 09/03/26 When I first started doing SimLit I noticed how dark and dull my unedited screenshots were. I tried using a program that bulk-applied filters to all my screenshots, but it looked even worse, which is why I ended up editing the screenshots one by o...
