Modding Diary - A Quick Update
Added 2024-01-06 04:50:44 +0000 UTCHi all! I hope you guys had a wonderful holidays! ๐
As for me, I took a few days off during Christmas and new years to unwind, and I have gotten back to modding again this week. I am currently learning python again for the ???th time, and I'm of course struggling again as usual ๐ซฅ
Some of you might know that most of the modding that we do is written in XML, and occasionally python is needed when you want to do things in a certain way. To me XML is alot easier to understand than python, when I first started modding I literally spent 3 days looking at all the different XML files in game even though they all looked like nonsense to me at first, but with the help of tutorials I was able to start understanding it and soon I was able to make my own mod.
sims4 python on the other hand....is so incredibly confusing to me, and there are very limited tutorials, so all I can do is compare different python scripts and try to make sense of it all, needless to say it is a slow and painful progress.
I feel like being able to write my own script would open up a world of new possibilities. I will be able to make the NICU update that many of you have been asking (it can be done without python but its not ideal), I will finally be able to fix the glitch where the baby skin doesn't match the parents' during the birth animation, and many other things that I have never even dreamed of.
So that's where I am at this week, struggling but somewhat optimistic. Im going to continuing my learning and I will let you know how it is going next Friday.
In the meantime, what are some things you would like me to work on? Some of the bigger suggestions I have received are:
- NICU update, including postpartum hospital stays
- Midwife/OBGYN active career
- Home Birth animations for multiples
- More Birth Positions
- More toddler/infant/children toys
- More pregnancy related interactions (ice chips, feet massage, IVF, etc)
Please let me know what you think in the comments!

I really think the IVF feature would be awesome and add realism and a feeling of accomplishment for couples with issues getting pregnant. I absolutely love this mod. It has added so much to the game. Thank you!

2024-01-12 17:36:51 +0000 UTCI love your mod! It just makes the game so much better! I can not play the sims without your mod. I refuse to anyway :P. if possible that the husband/boyfriend/partner could do more. My sim went in to labor with the pitocin and the husband really couldn't do anything for her. I really missed him comforting her or something.
