Hello everybody. Instant Pie Menu remembers menus and prepares them in the background, so they can open faster the next time you need them. Click on a Sim, a computer, a fridge, or another object and spend less time waiting for the game to figure out what you can do. This version aims for stability

Hello everybody! MQM has survived alpha testing phase after a month and goes public today!

Hello everybody! DId you click it too? :D *Snickers* In the battle of interdependent bug queens: "Automation Creep" Vs "Theres a old cache on my baby!" The container of liquid hydrogen won. The solution was to PAUSE the game, similar to what happened last week when we moved passive caching to pause

There’s a bug in v5 that causes outdated menus to appear even after they should have been refreshed. Previously there was an automation error when Sims would stand idle and do nothing. Sadly they are interdependent or in other words: its one or the other. The logic is solid: IPM needs to cache for t

Its IPM Beta test week of bug bashing is still in progress! Today is the fifth batch of hotfixes (v5) release day for the inner circle members! Woo!

I made this mod for my girlfriend because she wanted to see all options at once. Now the members of the Inner Circle have decided the next big feature is exactly the same my girlfriend wanted to get, which kind of makes this overwhelmingly clear to me that the majority wants Queue Multiple Items The

There will be an update to MDM today, that will only address some feedback and remove the A-to-Z automated sorting and move it to its own settings. Later on that later. We are here to decide on the next big feature! YAY! WE MADE IT! Whichever option wins i will focus on that feature next for the nex

Link to the original dropdown menu and current public version: https://www.patreon.com/Modsby/posts/modsbys-dropdown-167854773 Hi! I have some progress. Its been a long month and lots of angry complaints that it doesnt work here and doesn't work there... My god, i don't own a mac! My girlfriend does

Pandora sounds scary, its actually not. I found this feature to be extremely useful when i dont even know what i want. No more exploring the dropdown menu and different options, now its just one long list you only need you mouse down to find what you didn't know was available. You won't believe it,

What's coming in next version: - Auto pause compatibility with Auto-Pause pancakemizore pie-menu mod - UI Scale changed to 80% by default - Circle is now 35x35px and is attached to the side of the menu Common questions in the lab: Calliope: Will auto-pause be eventually a part of the MDM and be inde

So while working on the dropdown menu to make it instant, i struck a snag as it became apparent to me (through thoughts of my own) and comments that it would be easier to make the pie-menu instant first, but it feels like a step backwards because i almost got it working on the dropdown menu. But the

Fixed bugs in this version: - Navigating with keyboard arrow no longer runs the lot away You can get the latest files from the post or at the bottom of this one. https://www.patreon.com/Modsby/posts/modsbys-dropdown-167854773 Known bugs: = Mouse-wheel scrolling does not do anything = MAC still broke

Please let me know if you want a full show. This is the first time i'm trying to do something like this, i wasn't patient enough to learn how to use animations yet or how to do poses. But i think the improvisational tone leads to funny situations andI would love to just do a free-form recording of s

CHECK OUT THE RELEASE CLIP AND HOW IT HAPPENED: (1.0.2.35-SulSul) ESCAPED! Thank you to all my testers and supporters that have helped me test! WHY WASN'T THIS A DROPDOWN? Yes! A dropdown menu - not a pie-menu! You always were a dropdown menu deep down inside! And it turns out, being a dropdown solv

Read that again ^ Zero-second. Instantaneous. Stable(meh)ish menu. a bit in-its-alpha-llama-phase. I tested it on my girlfriend and she prefers it to that. 300GB of mods? No problem. Well it will load once and probably take you your normal pie-menu time, but after that probably so fast you'll forget

This is going to be the intro and outro states for the menu appearing and disappearing We are getting very close to making it happen

Here is the latest dropdown menu version for early release and testing. Current version: SUL-SUL v1.0.2.37 * updated on 30/08/2026 Please let me know if you find any bugs!

Quick Dropdown Menu is getting closer to its first proper release, the alpha version currently available to download is still being worked on and I've included a settings menu to help UI scaling and scrolling. When scrolling is finished the second pre-alpha version will be available to download here

There were a lot of concerns about scalling and scrollbars and maximum amount of items, since you guys like to use 40gb of mods this can become quickly out of hand. Hopefully this will make all problems go away once its done. Pre-release will be available to patrons once it's finished. -Modsby

Someone asked me to show a comparison for interactions. Honestly, i haven't tried it myself and I'm missing the right telemetry to return me the actual time in milliseconds to see how bad the difference is. For me this was a "good enough" but its NOT GOOD ENOUGH no more. This is a mind dump contempl

The Quick Dropdown Menu is almost ready for release! It replaces the usual Sims 4 pie-menu digging with a fast dropdown where you can see your interactions at once, hover through categories, and get to what you want with far fewer clicks. This is the Release Candidate build, so the focus now is stab

I finished it to a good place where I can start Alpha testing soon

I'm got really tired of the floating bubbles everywhere, i want to declutter it. My girlfriend suggest a dropdown menu that would remove all extra steps. And i realised its just a badly nested array you can explode. These screenshots were from alpha i dug i up i wanted to share.

Join me on my SIMSOCIAL experiment. The vision is to have a 24/7 free twitch stream where players can play through chat. Every viewer gets a Sim. Everything you type, your Sim says. type a number, your Sim does it. ON TWITCH

How does it work? You challenge another Sim to a fight and you get a head-to-head minigame. Both Sims appear as fighters on screen, and the result is influenced by their actual in-game stats rather than vanilla random-ish resolve and you clicking closer to the middle at the right time vs your oppone

Turn every bite into a small skill challenge inspired by classic fishing minigames. When the active Sim gets a bite, their phone rings and asks whether you want to play. Choose Yes to open a paused meter. Hold left mouse or Space to lift the catch zone, release to let it fall, and keep the moving fi

Fishing is coming to Modsby! In seven days, I’ll be releasing a new mod featuring a fishing minigame inspired by Stardew Valley. Cast your line, react when a fish bites, and keep the fish inside the catch bar to land it. Here’s a tiny preview of the flow - from the bite prompt to a successful catch
