Simularity News 001
First off, say hello to Simularity v.2025! All of the mod, custom content, lots, and other posts have been rewritten and streamlined with new features added, old features removed. I even created a new avatar for Simularity for 2025! If you find anything broken or otherwise amiss, please let me know. One downside of recreating the website for 2025, I lost all the comments on the old posts. Feel free to leave new ones on the new posts! Oh, did I tell you all that I’m on Bluesky now?
Patreon Changes
Due to dire financial circumstances, I am changing the way my Patreon works and how mods are released. I have updated all of the tiers with new benefits and changed the price of two tiers. The biggest change I should mention here is the 2-Week Early Mod Access. From now on, the members of the $4, $8, and $14 tiers will receive mods 2 weeks before general release. Other benefits for the various tiers include special Discord roles, WIP Previews, Opinion Polls, All Updated in One Zip, All Mods in One Zip, Mods in Beta Access, and Top Priority Request. See the Membership page for all the details. See this post for more info on tier changes.
I plan on setting it up so that anyone can make one-time donations of either $5 or $10 on Patreon if they are unable to support a monthly subscription. I am also reading up on how to setup yearly subscriptions with a discount. (I’ve had to do a LOT of reading of Patreon help pages and manuals today!) I have deleted ALL old posts from my Patreon account. All future posts will be far better organized using Patreon’s Collections feature and I’ll do better when creating tags. I’ll make a post on Patreon detailing all of the changes.
Mod Updates
No Dying Livestock – According to Maxis, the bug that caused animals to still die even with the “don’t die” option checked in Game Options–>Pack Options, has been fixed in the last v1.113 patch. So, unless someone tells me otherwise, my No Dying Livestock mod is now OBSOLETE.
Ultimate Adventurer Aspiration – Newly re-released after a total overhaul. I added some new features, fixed old ones, and more.
Paranormal Proficiency Aspiration – This mod did have broken social interactions. They are now FIXED. So, please download the updated aspiration file to get the fixed version.
More Outcomes to Advice Calls – Fixed a tuning error which may have been causing some users to experience LEs.
Stop Dogs from Drinking & Playing in Puddles – Updated for the lasted patches/packs and now includes code to stop Cats from drinking puddles.
The following career mods all had various fixes and updates made to them: Comedian Career, Adventurer Career, Psychology Career, Rock Star Career.
The following mods were all updated to work with the latest patches and packs: Invite Any Toddlers to Play Date Event, Don’t Do That Mods Vol 1, Don’t Do That Mods Vol 2, Faster Archaeology, Faster Plant Research, Faster Crafting on Gemology Table, Faster Book Writing, No More Time Capsules or Maps, Cottage Living Fixes Collection, and Better University Tutoring.
I have also edited the readme text files in all zip files (including Lots and CC in addition to Mods) so that they now include a short description of what the files are in the zip. This is so you will know what each file is for as long as you store the text files somewhere (don’t put them in your Mods folder).
New Mods
I have two new mods now in Early Access for Patreon members of certain tiers; everyone else will have access on March 17th. The first is a mod I created after being stranded without climbing gear while on vacation at Mt. Komorobi while testing out my Adventure aspiration. Now you will be able to purchase climbing gear directly from your Sim’s phone no matter where you are/no computer required! Buy Climbing Gear via Phone (Snowy Escape Required). The other new mod makes it so that you won’t feel like building/upgrading a Rocketship is equivalent to watching grass grow (it’s incredibly slow). It speeds up building by about twice as fast as before. If that’s still too slow, let me know and I’ll increase the speed more or make alternate flavors of the mod. Faster Rocketship Building & Upgrading (Base Game).
More new mods and mod features coming up soon!
Custom Content Updates
I haven’t updated anything yet; nothing needs it yet that I know of. I saw that tattoos will become recolorable in CAS so I’m assuming all of my tattoo CC will need updating once Sims 4 Studio releases an appropriate batch fix. For now, they are not on the site, but I will be adding them back as soon as they are updated.

You’re not the only one to say this. I brought the mod back! You can find it here.
