🥰🔥🥰 Awwwwwww, you are such a lovely being, my friend, @omgmausoleum!

Go get these goodies, everyone!!!! 🥰🔥🥰

👻Welcome 👻

This is a collection of all of my old CC made mid 2024 and earlier. If there is anything here that you have downloaded prior to today please delete the old files and redownload it as I have updated many things for DX11 as well as optimized many textures to make file sizes much smaller and less resource intensive in game. Thank you to @bodaccia48 @szanne7000 and @bionibots for helping find and replace items I lost. 🫶

‼️ Important Update for a pesky file inside the K505 Mod. ‼️

K-505 GET FAMOUS MANDATORY TINY UPDATE <- DO IT !

A Simmer alerted us on a problem related to Del Sol Valley - Get Famous k-505 ...

Indeed, we’ve found a rogue file lurking in k-hippie-k505-terrain-valley-x11-delta-replacement-09092024. If your game’s throwing shade, here’s the fix : either delete the sneaky file yourself ( ID : 1562C46B014D2B73 ) or grab the shiny, updated version from our website ( peek at the Get Famous section )

And before you ask—it’s just a 2048x2048 square .dds maxis image. But somehow, it’s got a flair for chaos in gameplay. Update now, and let the pixels behave !

( same name package and same date ) HERE

And here is the ugly face of the guilty file ( do not ask <- we do not know yet why this file is making trouble ... )

Have a nice day and a great weekend everyone ;)

✨☀️✨ Here is the K505 for Life and Death - Ravenwood! ✨☀️✨

K-505 LIFE & DEATH - WELCOME TO RAVENWOOD

So, you made your k-505 basegame update ? ( see previous post ) Excellent ! And you already downloaded k-303 and k-606 updated just for you ? ( see previous post ) Great ! Now, let's talk about the new expansion terrains and urban k-505 mod for Life & Death :)

Welcome to Ravenwood, where life and the afterlife hang out together. This little town might look all quaint and charming. Now, whether you’re living with ghosts, working under the Grim Reaper itself, or just hanging around for the vibes, Ravenwood is ready to accommodate. We’re really hoping you’re here for more than just those haunted trees, though—because frankly, they’re as weird as they are creepy …

Ramparts and flower bushes, trees and paved streets. As usual, we did our best to make this little place better. With or without the Grim Reaper's approval. Hell, we just revamped the place and left as soon as we could :D

Even we know there will be tiny updates to do in the coming weeks, we tried to bring a bit of depth. This place is now beautiful and no Lord Vampire ( hello Vlad ! ) no Death and no ghost ( tree or cowplant ) can argue against it and claim a refund ( ha! talk about a loophole ) because once you see Ravenwood with this k-505 overhaul, there's no going back ... :D You are warned !

We brought ramparts that look like they’ve survived a thousand hauntings, lush flower bushes that’d make any ghost jealous, and revamped the streets with cobblestones just begging to be strolled by mysterious figures at midnight ;)

With the Grim Reaper’s silent nod ( or maybe just his lack of objection ), we’ve given the place a full facelift—adding textures and details that even Vlad might have to admit are an improvement.

Now, between haunted trees, ghostly cowplants, and whatever else wanders these streets at night, Ravenwood has the polished but spooky glow it deserves. And hey, if any ghouls want a refund, they’ll have to take it up with Grim itself ( because yes : we have some agreement indeed ) :D

Are you ready to get a deeper and immersive gameplay ?

PLEASE, do not forget : delete the existing K-505 BASEGAME files and replace them with the ones ( dated as 11112024 ) provided in the previous post. Do not panic, the grassy and groundy parts are still dated 08082024 because untouched since this date :)

As usually, have fun ! xoxo everyone :)

RAVENWOOD ( LIFE & DEATH ) K-303 & K-606 BASEGAME ( ALMOST ) MANDATORY K-505 UPDATE

Hello people :)

Halloween has arrived, and with it, the Life & Death expansion ! We’ve been working hard to make sure Ravenwood is a hauntingly beautiful place for your Sims to visit … or haunt, depending on their mood. Here’s what’s new :

For once, we are going to make 2 posts related to the new town of Life & Death expansion : Ravenwood ...

Of course, this not the first time maxis includes base game stuff in expansions worlds, but this time, it's not about stuff but it's all about terrains ;)

So, except the Afterlife side of Ravenwood which has its own dark rocks, Ravenwood countryside is made of its own cliffs and ... Oasis Spring Rocks/Mountains ( a desert town, just as a reminder ) ... Why Oasis Spring ? it would be more logical to create specific new rocks or at least, choose the more grayish rocks from Willow Creek but well ... ea / maxis / logic <- not the best combo :D

So, after some tests, we decided to modify the rocks/mountains of Oasis Spring, which is only based on a choice of our own. Curiously, now they are not orange anymore, they give a less flat aspect to the town ...

Then, we modified "small" things & stuff of the base game we should have done a long time ago, but not mandatory such as the stone street planter and public lavatories. They are all over Ravenwood now, and their original look seems more ugly than before :D so, we modified them ;) idem with the base short stone fence ... ( yes we know, we have to make more fences )

-> Well, you see the point ;)

Related to the other k-303, the ones included in Ravenwood ( both sides ) we made few ones in order to get a similar look & feel than the k-505 urban :) And we modified a bit the debug town banners ( mostly sharpening, colour ) and streetlamps ... well, you'll discover it, or not :D your choice of course :)

The k-303 isn’t mandatory, but it adds just the right touch to elevate Ravenwood’s atmosphere. Here’s what’s been updated:

Gravesites – Some of the graves in Ravenwood had a mix of grass and dirt that didn’t quite fit the mood. We’ve refreshed these textures to blend seamlessly with the k-505 for that true cemetery feel.

Portal & Soul Bowl – Over in the Netherworld, the portal and soul bowl were looking a little… underwhelming. Now, with enhanced textures, they bring just the right level of mystique and “cool” factor to the other side.

Solicitor Rug – Our lovely public service solicitor has a new set of rugs that better reflect the status and vibe of Ravenwood. A touch of style for the gentleman who offers advice to all ( living or dead )

Street Decor – The town square banners, street lamps, and other decorative touches around Ravenwood have gotten a glow-up.

So, dive into and see how these textures and additions bring new life ( or un-life ) to this chilling town.

About the k-606 : roofs and foundation + 3 series of fences are re-made :) One is still under work and will be released very soon.

Ravenwood has so many fences we couldn’t just leave them plain and un-haunted. These additions help set the mood perfectly for any mysterious, eerie Sim wandering through town ;)

Because the large part of grass included in some other graves, we included them directly into the Ravenwood k-505 mod :)

And now, the links !

Download here the k-606 for Ravenwood

Download here the k-303 Ravenwood replacements

PLEASE, do not forget : delete the existing k-505 BASEGAME files and replace them with these new ones ( date : 11112024 ). Do not panic, the grassy and groundy parts are still dated 08082024 because untouched since this time :)

THE SIMS 4 K FAKTORY HIDDEN THINGS & STUFF

Hello people and Halloween lovers ;)

A few days before Halloween and the new expansion "Life & Death" release, let us propose a few more Halloween treats and some updated things & stuff we have inside the Sims 4 Faktory this week ;)

WHAT HAS BEEN ALREADY RELEASED

Rather than making some reblogs, let's start with what you already ( or not ) saw on k-hippie ...

The Tarot Learning Deko set

The Halloween & Death Mugs

The k-hippie Pumpkins ( 3 sets )

The Halloween Tramways ( both 2023 & 2024 versions ) for those who spend Halloween at Willow Creek ;)

The "no-pole" Halloween maxis lanterns

The base game special Halloween Night Moon replacement

You may find all those items :

Tarot Deck

Halloween & Death Mugs

Pumpkins

Halloween Tramway

No Pole Halloween Lanterns

Halloween Moon

But ... maybe you didn't come here only for what has been already released ;)

WHAT HAS NOT YET BEEN RELEASED ( BUT AVAILABLE )

Let's start with some little somethings :)

1 set x 11 styles of Halloween Wall Polaroids ... fully based on the Photos Wall Decor mesh by OPB, released in 2015

The Armored Knight ( aka the Guardian ) update

We updated too a lot of stuff which are not related to Halloween, so we'll make another post, very soon :)

You may download those items :

Wall Polaroids

Armored Knight

But wait ! There is something else ,) Just for your eyes :D

And now, let's talk about the k-505 Realm of Magic UPDATE :)

We updated the rocks, the grass, the roads, the paths,, and so on ...

We worked a lot on rockies to render a more tormented aspect ;)

The new files are now divided in 3 packages : nature - roads - urban and their date is 31102024 ;) because it was at first planned to be released for Halloween :D But hell, we are not going to release the same day than Life & Death Expansion !!! :D

These pictures has been shot using the k-707 beta which is not yet available ( and won't be until Xmas at least ) ...

Related to the k-707, we know about question marks, black textures, glitches for some ... Those problems are ONLY due to the not yet dx11 updated k-707 indeed ! Stop complaining about the k-505 mods WHICH ARE UPDATED for 2 months now ...

Another point : we do not know where somes are downloading their k-mods. But on our website, almost everything is updated. And none of our files are breaking any game : the k-mods are graphic replacements ONLY ...

download the last Realm of Magic update ...

That's all for today fellows :) Stay tuned for other releases ,) and as always, HAVE FUN AND A GREAT HALLOWEEN !!!

xoxo

TAROT CARDS LEARNING DECO SET - HALLOWEEN 2024

Unfogging the Future ...

The future is mysterious, but your Sims' décor doesn’t have to be! This set brings the magic of tarot into your Sims’ lives with a beautifully detailed deck of cards from the classic Rider Waite ...

Perfect for those who dabble in divination or just enjoy a little mystical flair on their coffee table. Whether your Sim is predicting the next big love affair or simply trying to figure out why the fridge keeps breaking, these cards will definitely make them feel more enlightened. Or at least, more stylish.

10 swatches to choose from, there’s a card design for every mood—gloomy, hopeful, or “I totally saw that breakup coming” Each swatch gives a different combination of cards, ensuring your Sims can switch up their fortune-telling aesthetic whenever the spirits ( or their ever-changing home décor tastes ) demand it.

And here’s the real magic :D if you place them on a glass table, the back of the cards is fully visible :) Why settle for just one mystical side when you can show off both? The detailed, ornate card backs will impress even the most skeptical of Sims ;)

So, whether your Sim is seriously into tarot or just looking for that perfect "je ne sais quoi" for their haunted or witchy vibe, these cards are a maybe must-have ;)

Remember, this is just a deco clutter ...

K-202 MOD ( AKA GROUND PAINTS ) MAJOR UPDATE 2024

Yesterday, walking inside Sims4Studio terrain files, I discovered something I didn't notice before ... 20 new base game files, after all other expansions ones ... Oo

When this happened ? I don't know :D I was confident, thinking we were more or less up to date with our k-mods ;) <--- sweet summer child ...

But we are not letting few files disturbing our zen :D So, here comes the k-202 Mod latest update with files ending with "20092024"

Enjoy !

Oh, we updated too some expansions terrain paints files here and there ;)

Stay tuned, some other news and releases are coming :) As we lost a lot of pictures and links during the servers transfer, we had to rebuild many stuff into the Sims 4 k-Faktory ... But we'll talk about this next time ;)

Have a super weekend everyone ! See you soon ;)

Download : HERE

As usually, if you think our work is worthing, we have a "Kofi" on our website ;)

Phenomenal work, my friend @k-hippie!

BRITECHESTER ( UNIVERSITY ) REDUX ( & update )

Here we are ( again ) :D After 2 busy weeks of servers, files transfer and reorganization ( and so on ) as we said in a previous post, some of the expansions x11 update were not done since they need a deeper inside look ;) Britechester is one of them :)

We made a lot of work on everything, especially the urban package which has 342 files ... And we named it Britechester 2.0 because, well, why not since this is the second makeover of Britechester

The whole stuff has been tested by our famous testers @cupisims and @kunisprings ... and played 4 days long by the k-hippie team.

( for info, yes ... we got our diploma ) ;)

Next ( and LAST ) in queue : Del Sol Valley ( get famous ) and Glimmerbrook ( realm of magic ) and I think we'll be all good with the k-505 mods :D

We really hope you'll like this redux ! As we received some messages related to the last versions of our mods, here a picture of my own current k-505 folder :D in theory, it is accurate :)

Now, you should have those dates inside your own k-505 folder ...

And the download : HERE

As always, have fun !

✨🥰✨ Hi Everyone! ✨🥰✨

I received an Ask from @hauntedpuppychild regarding some cc that was no longer available; I reached out to @clarasims4fan for permission to re-upload her content, which she gave.

I went through all my storage and believe I have found (and uploaded) everything Clara made for All4Sims.

I sent it to both SimFileShare and MediaFire, so there are two archives in case one goes away.

Each link will take you to the main folder containing all the sets. There are three (3) subfolders that include (A) single, extracted items in mostly reverse alphabetical order, (B) some recolors made of Clara's Meshes, and (C) content made for Clara by other creators (wonderful TOUs!).

Please remember the All4Sims TOU pictured above - everything must be shared freely.

Clara, thank you for your content and for allowing me to make it available to the Simming Community—you are fabulous!

K-MODS : UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE

Now that we ( at last ) finished our global x11 update, time was coming to get a closer look, especially on the oldest files ...

There's a joke to be made with updating after EAxis mess. Maybe something like ... Si(m)siphus ... Really, once we start working on an update, it seems like *everything* needs an update and we'll never get to the bottom of it. Or ... worst ( or better ) we get an insight on something we couldn't figure out and now we just want to test a theory or two, just in case it'll crack the code ... aaand we'll be good to make an overhaul of something else. Anyway ! Here we are :)

BRINDLETON BAY We are half pleased with the results here but those files needed to be updated ... Indeed ! The Cats & Dogs town is back into the fold with updated texture. We even removed the red pavement for more consistency. We aren't quite happy with the final result of this town and we'll probably come back later for finishing touch here & there but it'll do for the moment.

Please enjoy the return of Brindleton Bay among the family of the k-mods files :D

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

SELVADORADA ( JUNGLE ADVENTURES ) It was long overdue indeed but working on Selvadorada is like working on San Myshuno, it is clearly not EAxis best hours ...

Anyway, we completely reworked both nature and urban files, finished the ruins, added the files we hadn't done ...

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

STRANGERVILLE

We always have a soft spot for Strangerville, surely because it reminds us the Sims 2 Strangetown which was was so fun and irreverent !

You already have the k-505 nature we updated not long ago. Now, we remade the k-505 urban and put work into finishing touches, making sure we've covered everything that needed to be k-hippied :D

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

K-505 : BASEGAME NATURE FILES UPDATE Which should actually be : What-A-Surprise-We-At-Last-Found-Files Somehow, we tackled the San Myshuno Pit Of Darkness Problem. Yes, you read that right, with one single file, two little adjustment and a lot of hair pulling ( "What do you mean EA stretch that file like peanut butter on a toast ?" ) Okay, with less sardonic comment, the k-505 base game mod actually got a new update that's even better. You know those rocks with grass on them ? Yeah, we cleared that. It's now better looking. No more funky hairy rock. And of course, as you may know if you read the previous post, we finally found the files guilty of the black/question mark deep down in San Myshuno ! So, do not hesitate to update all your files ;)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

K-101 : MAJOR UPDATE Technical lingo : we updated the specular files because it was bugging us to no end. Old wooden floor, cool. Old wooden floors that shined so much it looked new ? Not under our watch, no sir ! In addition, it solves a glossy problem for Mac users with an intel based computer. Damned ! we are so good ... :D All floors have seen their specular double-checked and done ... and by the way, all Jungle Adventures floors were added, all of them. Of course, if you notice something we may forgot, just tell us :)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - K-303 : SKIES & MOONS UPDATE As the title says : those are moon & night sky replacements. It is re-organized ( we redid the folders to do not mix moons and skies ) All you have to do is to place these files into you mods folder and tada ! a brighter and bigger moon for your Sums :)

Voila, that's all for this week :) Hope it will be ok for you and your fun ! Next in queue, Britechester and Del Sol Valley …
