Pony Paints

This is a "small" collection of 16 markings and 13 regions for horses, This set spawned from my own frustrations/needs for a set of fantasy horses I'm working on, but are "generic" enough to be more broadly useful. The only real "theme" here is... "I needed stuff and things..." LOL

Notes

All items have custom thumbnails. If you don't like them, feel free to remove them for your own use.
All are disabled for random. If your prefer to have them enabled for random, here is a tutorial on how to change categories.
All are enabled for horses. Allegedly "markings" show up for all animal types, but I have not tested this.
The multi-channel markings variations are pretty subtle (intentionally). They are mostly intended to give the illusion of "shading" so the marks didn't appear "flat".

Throw in the Cowl

Obsessive... Me? No way. What gave you that idea? This "little" project is a throw back / continuation of my very first attempt at learning frankenmeshing for the way, way back. It is also a continuation of the "Knock it Off" tops I created. These meshes were redone, revamped, re-textured and I finally completed it! There are 5 sleeve styles, both tucked and untucked, and now with teen and elder versions - that is 5 x 2 x 3 = 30 tops. And, yes I'm ready to throw in the towel! WHEW.

Due to the extensive number of pictures, I would recommend you visist my flikr albmum or MTS to view them all. (Details below).

Details

All versions are available for Teen, Adult and Elder.
All can been found in : Everyday, Formal, Career.
All versions are enabled for maternity.
Teen and elder maternity morphs are made to match Sweetdevil's T/E maternity clothing waistlines.
All items have been disabled for random.
The channel/preset images show the Adult version, but the same presets are used on the Teen/Elder item.

No More Cell Phone Idles!

Tuning mod to remove (or lower) the chance of cell phone idle animations from occurring.

This is not the same as Mikey's "No auto smartphone tasks". Mikey's mod affects the sims' ability to autonomously (free will) perform "send text" actions. it does not alter any of the cell phone related idles.

If you remove free will from your sims, they do not perform autonomous actions but they may perform various idle animations - they might scratch their arm, yawn, stretch, etc. Amongst the possible animations are 2 cell phone related idles, each of which has 10% chance of happening. In my game, my sims perform these actions incessantly. As the title states, this mod removes the chance of this happening.

Details

Tested using game version 1.6.7.
Alters the Idles _XML resource (reskey: 0x0333406C-0x00000000-0x547CBB82CE695C3E) and will conflict with any mod that alters the same resource.
Enabled for maternity (teen to elder, both M/F)
Two flavors provided - NoMore and Less. Chose ONLY ONE.

Celebrity: Toby Stephens

When the show, Black Sails first aired, I created Zach McGowan-sim. But I never got around to creating any of my other favorite actors from the show. Here it is 2021, and I finally got inspired to work on Toby Stephens. He portrayed Captain Flint in the show.

Poses: Mini Pack 02

When I create a celebrity look-alike sim, inevitably I end up making a handful of poses for them. Sometimes these poses fit into themes, sometimes they don't. This set was created for my Toby Stephens sim and don't really fit into anywhere else, so I'm releasing them as a "mini pack".

These poses are compatible with the pose list feature of the Pose Player! But you can just type in the codes if you prefer.

You will need the pose player to use these poses! Without this mod, these poses WILL NOT WORK.

TOU: Do whatever you want for you own personal use. Do not re-upload, claim as your own, post to paysites or put Adf.ly in front of my links! A link back is always appreciated - I love to see what you peeps do with my poses!

Poses: Haute Topic

30 Poses for when you sim feels like voguing.

Poses: Loiter

32 Poses for when your sims just want to hang around.

Poses: Broken Dolls (revamp)

16 poses for when you sim feels a little broken down

This set is a new and improved version of my original Broken Dolls set. If you downloaded that set, you will want to replace it with this one (you can't have both). I cleaned up the original poses (01-08) and extended the set with 8 new poses!

ATTENTION! Pose Updates

I just went through and cleaned up all of my pose packs to ensure that the pose codes, images and descriptions were correct. The only pack that didn't need correcting was Make A Stand. If you don't use the list function, or you are fine with how my poses show up currently in the list, you do not need to redownload anything. No poses were actually changed, just the list entries for them.

Of particular note are Diving and On Display, since they had wrong thumbnails linked to some of the poses. The rest were just to put the pose code into the 'name' field and to add the package name to the descriptions.

To look at each pack individually, you can click the 'Poses' button at the header of my blog. Or you can simply go to this folder on SimFileShare or to my profile page on MTS to get at all of them directly.
