SIMSMAS MODVENT CALENDAR DAY 21 As I mentioned in the previous tutorial, you can define various things as rewards. Also you can define if the reward is always the same or if it changes randomly.

SIMSMAS MODVENT CALENDAR DAY 12 Today we finally start discussing Objective Tuning - so that you can create various tasks for your aspirations. First let's take a look at the Tuning file structure. Additional test - It is optional. Entire section can be deleted. It's sometimes very useful to set up

SIMSMAS MODVENT CALENDAR DAY 11 Once again, just to remind what we are talking about :D this is screen slam in the game, this popping icon with text underneath: In game tuning of Screen Slam is done with Snippet Tuning. This one does not have SimData, just tuning file. For aspirations we use Screen

SIMSMAS MODVENT CALENDAR DAY 9 Today we'll cover only main Aspiration Tuning used within aspirations. There are few other types, e.g. for career assignements, but I think once you get the concept, everything else will be then more intuitive. Also, since my previous tutorials was put very simply, to

SIMSMAS MODVENT CALENDAR DAY 8 For aspirations we will create icons, but some other mods, for example careers, require adding images. This tutorial will work for both.

SIMSMAS MODVENT CALENDAR DAY 4 Since I love creating aspirations, I decided to teach you how to make this mod as first. And I hope that till Christmas I'll cover enough to let you create some simple aspiration :) Today I'll only indicate which files you need to create your own Aspiration. Next days

SIMSMAS MODVENT CALENDAR DAY 3 Today I'd like to show you some basic things about creating mods and how to start. I will show my ways.

SIMSMAS MODVENT CALENDAR DAY 1 Today I want to continue (and tomorrow finish) the topic for Strings in Sims 4 and it will be quite long one.

As you are now a bit more familiar with the process, the presentation will be quicker and more areas will be covered, but at the end of this article (and each next) I will list all tutorials publi
