Mod: Blacksmithing Skill

Update 7/24/2026: Royalty/Legacy swords now craftable.

Sul sul!  I'm back again with another historical mod.  This one adds a blacksmithing skill to the game, with lots of craftable items!  This mod is Base Game Compatible.

Some of the craftable items include weapons that can be stored on the Sword Racks.

Another is a suit of armor that is both craftable and wearable.

There is also a Mining Rock, which you can use to mine ores.  Sims will lose hygiene but gain fitness when mining.

For complete item list and pictures, you can download the Objects List PDF.  All objects are buyable in Build Mode.

If you have the Businesses & Hobbies pack, would you be able to sell the crafted items at a small business, or is that not possible with this mod?

"Update 2/14/2026: Fixed for compatibility with Royalty/Legacy pack!" does this mean that the swords from the royalty and legacy pack can be crafted with this mod?

Would love to have a combination of this mod and SImsonian Library's Mine Crafting mod. https://www.patreon.com/posts/mine-crafting-84057120 Would put the ingots to good blacksmithing use. v.v

Hello! I'm not sure if you know (and if you do, my apologies, feel free to ignore this post entirely!), but the pie menu for the blacksmithing mod is not showing up after the 3/18 update. The only option that comes up when clicking on the blacksmith station is "Fiddle Around". The items show up in build/buy, there's just no option to make them individually. Other than that, everything else appears to be working fine - including mining and the animations!

I'd love to be able to forge blades (this skill) and craft hilts (Gemology skill) and combine them into bejewelled swords. Even better if they could be charged on the Crystal Grid for combat/environmental bonuses. Maybe throw in Handiness/woodworking too and craft polearms like battle axes or halberds.

Would love it if the craftable swords from your mod were usable for the new swordfighting skill somewhere down the line (they're absolutely gorgeous after all). And maybe being able to craft the swords that came with the new EP as well. Thank you for all you do! ❤️❤️❤️

Alice Winterson · February 15, 2026

Would you ever consider making the swords that came with the new pack able to be made with this mod? :)

Does this mod work this day? Edit: I have tested the mod and it works. Thank you very much Jane for this mod - It's awesome! Your mods add so much flavor and depth to the game.

I'm using this mod and Littlbowbub's Hunting & Foraging mod, and my sim keeps coming back from the mining rabbithole interaction of that mod with some of the craftables from this mod (an axe, a mace, a jeweled sword, etc). I wonder if they might have some kind of tag attached to them causing them to be selected as possible loot from that? (like are they tagged as crystals or metals in the game? or cloned from one?) I tried to unmerge the objects file myself and check, but I don't really know what I'm looking for. It's not a terrible problem, but I thought you might want to know about it since I can imagine a lot of folks want to use both mods.

LBB will bring them back from her rabbit holes. Andirz will list them in the collections section of his online store. MinervasCauldron will sometimes pop off Jane's swords and axes when she's supposed to be conjuring crystals. What's happening? The answer is that all these medieval weapons have the tag: BuyCat_Collection_Crystal Why? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So I've been using your mod a lot, but ive run into multiple issues, namely I cant use the "fiddling aound" for the blacksmith station, I had to buy the books to even begin to be able to use it, and the mining rock doesn't work at all! I'm not sure what I should do, but I wanted to bring this to your attention and to see if anyone else is running into the same problems!

I wasn't expecting such a great mod... all your mods are really excellent! Thanks for all your hard work!

Привет, с навыком ювелирного дела появились заготовки изделий. Стоят эти заготовки дорого. Было бы здорово, чтобы кузнецы крафтили их для ювелиров.

Cass H · March 18, 2024

Have you ever considering adding a sword fighting or fencing skill? It feels like it would tie into this and into your Regency (and dueling) concepts pretty well!

Where can I find the Mining Rock? Never mind. I've found it when I type mining rock in the searching bar.

Hey, Where did you end up finding it? I cant see it anywhere And i cant use the search bar it crashes my game :/

I love this mod however it is currently causing exception alerts on MCCC. Do you have a discord or somewhere I can report it?

J
JaneSimsten · February 22, 2024

Hi, I'm so sorry that you're having issues! I'm working on an update for Blacksmithing right now as it happens. There is a discord here: https://discord.gg/8zbYwe8fvD Or, I just made a new Google Form for reporting bugs: https://forms.gle/hqgkpYiy7ckzVuYMA

Hi there! I absolutely adore this mod, I have a dwarven couple that have crafted a whole armoury for all the nobility in my Sims game, it's especially amazing to have a sword with the name of the one who blacksmithed it. I'm having a bit of an issue though. On one of my lots which has a large armoury I am now encountering infinite load times. This seems to have only started now after installing the marksmanship mod and the blacksmithing mod in tandem.

JaneSimsten · January 29, 2024

Hey! Thank you so much for reaching out. Did you happen to get any last exceptions when it happened? That could really help me pinpoint the problem :)

So awesome! Thanks for all your hard work with your mods. They truly are wonderful 💕

I love this update, been playing with it using my blacksmith family. It reminds me of the blacksmith role in Sims 4 medieval. With that being said would it be possible to add the option to craft some of your other items, like the harp, lute, archery stand and harpicord. 💜
