I've been working hard to create something really good to share with you. This is my most ambitious release yet, so I hope it was worth the wait!
ITALIA is a custom cc 'game pack' that transforms Tartosa into a beautiful Italian-inspired destination! Tartosa is my favourite world in the game, but I feel like it never gets any love because everyone hates My Wedding Stories. I want to help you fall in love with the beauty of Tartosa! Don't worry if you don't have My Wedding Stories, there's plenty of base-game friendly items for you as well. There is A LOT of stuff in this pack (around 125 items), so I'll only highlight some of the noteworthy things included.
Tartosa world override with new world lighting, buildings, trees, streetlights, functional objects, marketstalls, and decor.
New food & drinks (gelato, pasta, pizza, wine, and coffee!)
New custom-tuned functional objects to elevate your gameplay.
NEW FUNCTIONAL OBJECTS (custom tuning)
Souvenir Stand | Purchase from a curated selection of art & objects. Includes items that are difficult to obtain in-game, as well as cc from two of my favourite creators bbygyal 123andPierisim. CC items will only show up in the shop if you already have the files in your Mods folder, so please check out their work if you haven't already! Sims can also purchase wearable souvenir t-shirts and baseball caps.
Gelato Stand | Purchase gelato, ice cream, and drinks.
Beach Stand | Purchase beach stuff, drinks, snacks, and souvenirs.
Coffee Stand | Purchase coffee and snacks
MORE NEW FUNCTIONAL OBJECTS (custom tuning)
Picnic Blanket | Sit, eat, gaze at the sky, and even bathe in the moonlight. *DLC interactions require their respective packs (Lovestruck, Life & Death)
Beach Bathroom | Using this outdoor bathroom costs 1§ and restores hygiene & bladder without the uncomfy public bathroom buffs.
Beach Bag | Works like a dresser to change outfit on-the-go.
Cooler Bag | Stock with drinks & snacks. Functions like a picnic basket on blankets and picnic tables. Helps keep food fresh and fixes the picnic basket inventory to store up to 99 food anddrink items.
Stovetop Moka Pot | Brew a quick pot of espresso from the countertop or stovetop.
EVEN MORE NEW FUNCTIONAL OBJECTS (custom tuning)
Park Fountain | Toss a coin in the fountain and have a seat. The XL version also spawns butterflies.
Drinking Fountain | Wash hands or grab a drink of water with the infinitely refillable water bottle.
Nectar Bottle | Pour a glass of nectar. Includes 7 new nectar drinks and new custom buffs.
Classic Pool Float | Please download my mod Better Pool Floats for the best experience.
Restaurant | Call a waiter to serve a curated menu of food & drinks. Sims in a rush can also order to-go (without a waiter).
NEW FOOD & DRINKS (custom tuning)
Nectar:Vigna Bianco, Sparkling Luminoso Bianco, Sparkling Luminoso Rosé, Rosa D'Amorosa, Amanti del Rosso, The Devil's Nectar, Bianco Spritz
Gelato:Pistachio, Pesca, Fragola, Bacio, Fior di Latte, Vanille, Caffè, Limoncello
Pasta: Carbonara, Spicy Carbonara, Spaghetti Alle Vongole, Cacio e Pepe, Spaghetti Marinara, Shrimp Spaghetti Marinara, Spaghetti Aglio e Olio
Snacks: Marghertita Pizza, White Funghi Pizza, Fruit & Cheese Charcuterie Board
Thank you so much for all the work you do!!! Is this already compatible with the latest update or do we have to wait for a bit?

Your work is so beautiful! I'm obsessed with the Barbet cans, is there a way I can use these in build mode (or if you make them available for bb) they are perfect for a market build I'm doing

Hi, I've been having trouble with the pasta and snacks not showing up in my game. Do you have any tips or fixes for it?
L
LIJOUE · January 21, 2026
Hi! Just to clarify, you know the food cannot be made by sims at home correct? It can only be ordered from my custom objects ( the restaurant shell or cooler bag etc)

I love it, but there are interactions I can't do because they come up blank. I don't know if it's because I have the game in Spanish and the mod is in English.
L
LIJOUE · January 2, 2026
Yes, it is because the custom interaction text is English. I will research possible solutions for non-English players.

hi, does this mod work for the new update, 19/08/2025? thanks! and sorry for the inconvenience.

LIJOUE · August 25, 2025
I haven’t noticed any issues yet but you may need to reinstall the world files since sometimes updates reset them to the default version

BitterSweet Sims · July 31, 2025
Hello! I have dowloaded your mod to no avail! I follow the instructions step by step and nothing changes. There are also three original files for Tartosa, Rural, village and forest. And there are only two files of your mod, coastal and inland. Do we keep the village one as well? And on the delta folder there are GP11 and EP11 folders. Do I only replace the files on the GP11 and leave the OG ones in the EP11? Please advise. Thank you!
L
LIJOUE · July 31, 2025
Hi, please read all the instructions very carefully, they are very specific. GP = game pack and EP = expansion pack. Wedding Stories is the 11th game pack. This has nothing to do with EP11 (cottage living) If you need help troubleshooting, please send a direct message. Thanks!

Hi! I think the coffecart pitcher file is applying it's texture to other objects, a lot of them glass or plastic objects. Just wanted to mention in case other people have this issue.
L
LIJOUE · June 17, 2025
Please check the update (from yesterday) this issue has already been fixed. Make sure to delete your localthumbcache since the texture may be cached.

I looove this mod, but the order food at the restaurant is causing issues with me. She reads through the menu, but nothing happens, no pop up. Better exception had issues with the restaurant. Also, I cant build or play in taratosa. Other than that, its perfect!!

Please dm here or on tumblr if you’d like to troubleshoot the issue ♡

I'm noticing in the tray importer that conflicts were found in the restaurant recipes and tuning, is it okay it delete them?
L
LIJOUE · June 10, 2025
It’s ok to delete the recipes if you don’t want the custom food and drinks. The only “conflict” is shared string ids. In my experience, such “conflicts” are not an issue. Is it causing any actual problem for you?

no bc these textures broke my game and gave TEETH to every single base game item

Hello Lijoue! Thank you SM for this absolutely beautiful mod. I ran into the issue of somehow having two Tartosa's in my game....do you have an idea where I went wrong and how I could fix it? I replaced the .world files in both the GP11 folder and the GP11 folder in the "delta" folder.

LIJOUE · May 30, 2025
Hi! I'm pretty sure this is a regular bug that's been around for a while that has nothing to do with the mod. The highlighted comment in this bug report thread may be able to help you: https://forums.ea.com/discussions/the-sims-4-bug-reports-archive-en/workaround-maps-from-dlc-appearing-twice-on-overview-page/11569562

Quick question, if i wish to uninstall this how would i go about it or do i need to keep the EA world area files backed up somewhere?
L
LIJOUE · April 2, 2025
Yes you should backup the original EA files if you want to revert it back.

hi how does the functional sunscreen interact with other mods that do the same?
L
LIJOUE · January 14, 2025
The functional sunscreen here doesn’t override the original animation/prop, so it shouldn’t conflict with any sunscreen override you have (I have the override by LargeTayterTots) My functional sunscreen adds new interactions that function independently from sunbathing.

Hi Lijoue! This looks amazing. A lot of beautiful work here as usal from you. I am going to test it right now! Just wanted to ask because from your previous CC Packs I have: Lijoue_DrinkLimonata (new file: ITALIA_Drink_Limonata) Lijoue_DrinkWaterBottle (new file: ITALIA_Drink_WaterBottle). My Mod Assistant recognizes them as duplicates. Should I delete the previous ones and leave only the files from ITALIA pack? I am sorry. I might be like a pain in the *** but needed to ask!
L
LIJOUE · December 10, 2024
Yes, I forgot to mention that! I’ve made some changes since I shared those early, so please use the newest ITALIA versions. Thanks for pointing it out!
