Z0mBieP00Nani Posted July 17, 2021 Posted July 17, 2021 FINDING SIMS 2 AND SIMS 3 STUFF MIXED IN WITH SIMS 4 STUFF DURING CC WEB SEARCHES BECAUSE IDIOTS HAVE FLAGGED OR TAGGED THEM AS SIMS 4 CC... FUCK!!!1! In this recent case I was looking for something simple, some in ground hot tub CC and wouldn't you know it ALL of it was either for the sims 2 or the sims 3..... Before that it was spiral staircase sets, the closest thing I found in that regard was a shelf made to look like a spiral stair case, ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?.. I actually saw somebody get mad in the comments section under that one too, saying the author didn't mention that it was a shelf in the description (even though they actually did)... Yeah don't worry buddy, I know how you feel man, trolled and annoyed just like me... (Believe it or not I actually mean this outburst to be read in more of a humorous light, but it is fucking annoying to keep running into that kind of shit.)

snowdog04 Posted July 18, 2021 Posted July 18, 2021 I've seen one or two spiral staircases, BUT, they are non-functional, or they are an object other than a staircase. You can sink a hot tub into the ground using a platform, but then your sims can't figure out how to get in.
Enrico123456 Posted July 18, 2021 Posted July 18, 2021 I'm with you, mate. Had the same problem on pinterest while searching for used and grungy looking stuff. Annoying, but what can you do? Other than modding it myself, where I most certainly have no talent in...

Yeah.. of course EA wouldn't go the extra mile there... the same way they didn't just include resources to build above or below ground fire pits, or in ground hot tubs/hot springs (I guess we should be glad we got pool stuff at all), or spiral staircases, or it would also have been nice if we could set walls at half grid positions, maybe there's some reason behind that (like furniture placement) but it's still kind of annoying that you can't just do stuff like that by default... I mean I guess I could attempt to "do it my self", but so far my experiences there have been... less than Skyrim/Fallout 4 like (A.K.A. easy) in nature, and I think a lot of that has to do with a lack of familiarity with modding the sims but then the other part is a lack of good tools (when compared to TES or even Fallout), I mean they do the job yeah, but when the only tool you have to import meshes into the game (Sims 4 Studio) complains and throws up random error messages every time you try to change something (instead of at least offering an option to attempt a fix, if that's possible) it makes the whole experience less enjoyable over all (especially when something as simple as rotating a picture frame mesh becomes a chore), I mean at least with TES and Fallout I can extract the game's resources right from the archive files with the available tools, with S4S I guess I have to make an account and all of that nonsense (unless I'm misunderstanding things), but even then there's the other issue of not being able to create or edit and import meshes anyway. I just feel like I shouldn't have to be an entry level game designer just to be able to make mods for a game I kind of like playing...
Oops19 Posted July 31, 2021 Posted July 31, 2021 To download the current S4S version and Blender 2.76 or 2.79 one does not need an account. S4S allows to export meshes and clips which can be edited in Blender and re-imported. If you edit things and have issues with S4S then you may either search the S4S forum to find a solution or register and post a question there. At least S4S should fail to open TS3 files so one can at least tell that the file may crash TS4.
MissCee Posted July 31, 2021 Posted July 31, 2021 Hi, found this but don't know if it still works after the recent patch/updates. https://ohmysims404.tumblr.com/post/149892078684/functional-in-ground-hot-tub-finally-i-converted
MissCee Posted July 31, 2021 Posted July 31, 2021 You also mentioned a spiral staircase. Again, don't know if CC still works, but here's a list of TS4 staircases that were at one time functional. Good luck! https://alltopcollections.com/sims-4-functional-spiral-staircase/

MissCee Posted August 2, 2021 Posted August 2, 2021 Bummer! I hate when the titles are misleading! If I ever see a TS4 spiral I'll update this.

Kabal460 Posted November 29, 2021 Posted November 29, 2021 I'm still hoping for a turbo-shaft elevator like they had in TS3 (Into the Future).
TheRealReverend Posted November 29, 2021 Posted November 29, 2021 On the topic of "things that piss me off about CC even though I know I shouldn't complain about free content": So you have made a beautiful, elaborate piece of CC clothing, but you didn't include a black color option? 90 percent of clothing looks best in black, it's a fact. You have neon orange, eye-cancer pink and bright yellow with green polka dots, but no black? Really? Bonus points if you did include a black option, but it is so dark that it looks like a hole into the anti-verse and swallows every single visual feature of your piece.
