This page will list all the of mods I am using for this challenge, plus the custom content I am using for Lilith! Please note I have a resources page for my Spruceburg Prosperity Challenge, and the two challenges do use most of the same mods and CC. Stuff listed here will mostly be things that are specific to the challenge or specific to Lilith.
Challenge Mods
Uberhood Stuff
- Meetmetotheriver's clean templates, for putting together an uberhood.
- Bring friend home options (school), to prevent Lilith (or her kids) bringing friends home from school who they shouldn't be able to meet.
- Bring friend home options (work), same as above, but for work. I don't want her to bring home e.g. her dad while she is working in the athletic career!
- The Visitor Controller, has options to ban nonlocals or specific sims, and also works on community lots.
- Local Walkbys, makes it so walkbys will always be from the same neighbourhood.
- Story Progression, I don't play with this from the begining as Lilith is starting out in apartments which aren't compatible with the mod, but add this later so that the rest of the uberhood can age and evolve alongside Lilith's family.
(Teen) Pregnancy
- Jenflower's Woohoo Teens, there are a few different teen pregnancy mods out there, I went with this one as it seemed like it was the simplest. Note that it also requires Young Enough for Pregnancy Fix to allow teen pregnancies, I believe(?)
- Maxis Teen Maternity Project, adds pregnancy morphs to all clothes that comes with the basegame.
- Pregnant Sims Wear Any Outfit, required for the above to function. Note that I removed this mod once Lilith was no longer a teenager and switched to default replacements for the standard adult maternity wear (see below).
- Mix and Match Maternity Defaults by Elvisgrace and marja87. I picked out some of the more "alternative" options for Lilith to wear as an adult.
- Silent Pregnancy (edit by Nopke), so that when she falls pregnant (and who the father is!) can be more of a suprise.
Romance-Related
- ACR, a large (and complicated) mod that will make sim romance (and woohoo) more autonomous. I have "unmarried try for baby" enabled. I am sometimes also using the normal Maxis try-for-baby option if needed.
- Romantic Standards (Midge's Version), mod that does a bunch of things, including changes to how jealousy works.
- See my Spruceburg page for more romance-related mods in my game!
Childcare Options
- Watch Kids Enabed, allows you to ask neighbours to watch the kids, even if you are not living in an apartment. Used this a lot in Strangetown!
- Playable & improved nannies, lets you put playable sims in a custom nanny career, and they will actually show up as nannies! Used for making Isabella Monty the nanny in Veronaville.
Vampires & Vampire Kids
- Toddler & Child Vampires and Hereditary Supernaturalism V2, these mods let you have younger vampires like Carmilla, and the option to "inherit" vampirism from a parent.
- Vampires can't eat food, I have not tested this extensively but it is meant to stop vampires being able to eat regular food, so you have to get creative about what they eat. Works alongside the Plasma fruit from Supernatural Garden and Plasma Lemonade.
- Baby Bottle Overrides, swaps out milk bottles for "blood bottles" for toddler vampires. Also includes a nice default for the regular bottle so it isn't neon green!
- Sunlight Immunity for Vamps, it's a little cheat-y, but makes playing vampires a lot more fun for me. I also use "vampire hunger goes down nighttime & social/fun decay", so there is still some challenge.
- Vampire Bite Options, lets your vampires suck blood from other sims. I haven't tested this one, yet.
- I can't remember what vampire skin default I use (the file isn't named very clearly, haha) but see the Default Database for lots of options!
Other Mods
- Lifespan mod, customised this for my preferences using SimPE. I wanted quite long lifespans, so that the challenge would not need to feel too rushed and I could take my time with the story. Set to 3 days for babies, 5 days for toddlers, 10 days for children, 14 days for teens, 50 days for adults, and 9-29 days for elders.
- Seperate For All, a mod that enables seperate tops and bottoms for all clothing categories.
Lilith Lookbook
I am not using that much CC in this save, but will share some of the outfits I've used for Lilith here! Note that her maternity wear is included in the pregnancy mods section furthur up.
Hair
- Lilith's adult hair, by Roguebotanist. I reccommend other hairs by this creator if you like the super maxis-match style!
- Y2Sims, this creator has a tag for maxis match hair retextures.
- Rockethorse, another great creator for maxis match style hair.
Accessories
Clothes
- Jacket by serabiet, Lilith's outerwear (when she was a teen).
- Short Dress with Boots by serabiet, Lilith's first adult outfit.
- Serabiet's downloads, I use a lot of her clothes and more will likely appear in the series.
- TS2 Repository Project, I use a lot of stuff from this project in general, but it has a whole "alt" tag with lots of stuff that's great for Lilith - I particularly like this skirt with fishnets from the University EP.
- Default Underwear, I use all of this set.
- Slob Outfit Default, replaces nightlife "slob" outfit/pajamas with a Slayer recolour that's perfect for Lilith. Lemonlion has a lot of good alt style defaults!
- Goats's downloads, I can't think if Lilith specifically has worn much by this creator, but I do use their stuff a lot.
- The Default Database, an amazing resource, great for finding default replacements for Maxis items.
- Maxis Store Stuff, some great Maxis hairs, clothes and buy mode items.
Machinia Resources
I am pretty new to making machinima, but sometimes get asked how I make it! So here are some resources and links that helped me get started. Before this series I have only really done static posing, but a lot of the principals are quite similar.
- Tutorial by Antisocial Bunny, this is quite an advanced tutorial honestly, but I learned a lot from it, especially about different priority animations!
- Antisocial Bunny's Pintrest board of poseboxes, tutorials & resources
- Gunmod's Camera, this is the camera mod I've used since forever, it does everything I need it to!
- The Golden Wall of Animation, for a long time these were the only animation boxes I had in my game and they got me pretty far, I like how compact they are and reccommend them if you are just starting out.
- No Unneeded UI Sounds, removes the pause/unpause sound effect, which always made recording sound a pain!
- Decorgal Talkhack Previews, an absolutely incredible resource that has made animating conversation so much easier!
