The Coffeesmith Project - Mod Blend º1 - Barista Plus

Hey long time no see, how is everyone doing! So this was something that was on the works for a while before It evolved into it’s own mega project, So for those that don’t know, I’m a bit of a coffee appreciator, and I like to have options for my simmies, so it became a separate project of its own. Mod Blends are just that - Mods that enhance the experience of having some of these objects within your game, as I’m about to show you, right now this is the only Mod Blend, but depending of how much I start to mess with things, others will come in the future. So, what does Barista Plus do?

Well, why don’t I show you.

this is a version of the Game without Barista Plus

this on the other hand, is a version of the game with Barista Plus In a nutshell, it allows for custom espresso bars to spawn their own Baristas in unowned community lots!!!! It has been something that has been bugging me since I found out that custom Espresso Bars didn’t have this functionality. But why didn’t they work, you might ask. Short Version: EAxis’s Spaghetti Code at it again. Long Version: It’s not that they didn’t work, they clone just fine, however, the Barista NPC Template has this unique BHAV called “Get My Stand”, basically this BHAV is the one that does the detection for the espresso bar, and io and behold, it only detects one GUID from the Uni Espresso Bar, nothing else, hence why none other custom espresso bar couldn’t spawn a Barista.

So what this does is expand the number of GUID’s the BHAV can detect, which allows for them to fully function in an unowned community lot. Right now, it detects: -Around the Sims 2′s Tea Shop Cart -Vitasims’s Victorian Tea Espresso Cart -linegud’s Elegant Espresso -All Espresso Bars I’m about to release. “But wait!” you might ask “are there any Free GUIDs I can use that are natively compatible with Barista Plus” Of course there are, I saved some from my GUID book specifically for this: 0x0093BBF0- 0x0093BBF1- 0x0093BBF2- 0x0093BBF3- 0x0093BBF4- 0x0093BBF5- 0x0093BBF6- Feel free to use any of them, but please do give me a heads up when you use them, I don’t want people taking GUID and accidentally making objects conflict. How to use them: Make it the GUID for the 0,0 Object Data, that’s it, that’s as simple as that. If you know of any other espresso bars on the wild or if you have your own already on the works with GUIDs and anything, please do tell and I’ll update the mod accordingly. And without further ado: Download Hope you enjoy it! Version Status: 1.0 - Initial Relase Special thanks: MidgeTheTree for setting me in the right direction, Fireflower, Frac and probably a lot of people from The Keep who gave me help and support for doing this.

I need blogs to follow. SO..

ATS3 Update | Ilona likes Ikea | the Living-Room

One more Ikea inspired set! :p This time, here’s some pieces of furniture for the living-room. I might make more later, but for now, it’s all I’ve been able to mesh. :D

Candle stick lights up with real flames (if you have Granthes script installed); LIATORP surfaces have a lot of slots, including below glass; KARLSTAD seatings have 3 color channels (cushions, base & feet). By the way, I’m meshing all these objects, none are Sims 2 Ikea conversions. 

If you're having issues with your box redirects, use this, Thank you for this, honestly!

Hi packrat, I’m looking to download the animal skeleton from vampirekiss6661 over at medivalsims (http://www.medievalsims.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=33454#p33454) but (for me?) the download doesn’t even open (https://app.box.com/shared_item/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.box.com%2Fs%2F03b64dce4ab45fca3a5a) is there any way you have them or I’m just not handy enough to find out how to download?

Hank you! ✨

Hello Fruitvillevillage! :-D I'm not sure why box has (once again) trouble re-directing links, hopefully it's a temporary issue. Anyhow, I made a quick redirect (download here, and you need this addon: chrome / firefox) which seems to work as it should? I've tested the links on the page you sent and the next page, and they all re-direct correctly but do let me know if I messed up somewhere :-) for those of you who don't want to install the redirector, here is how I solved it:

Example url:

https://app.box.com/shared_item/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.box.com%2Fs%2F03b64dce4ab45fca3a5a

Delete everything after .com/ and write /s/, like this:

https://app.box.com/s/

and then, copy the numbers/text after "F", in this case these:

https://app.box.com/shared_item/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.box.com%2Fs%2F03b64dce4ab45fca3a5a

and then you should have a working link, like this:

https://app.box.com/s/03b64dce4ab45fca3a5a

and that's it!

This is a suggestion for the ts2 community to make finding cc easier. It's not a big problem, but sometimes I still make this mistake, so it's also a reminder for myself.

When answering WCIFs, name the cc item or mod, its creators and any other information that would be useful to identify where it came from. Don't just say "It's here" and paste the link. Knowing the information could save a lot of time if the original download post goes down. Include a picture of the item if you can.

Similarly, when you share something, type a descriptive title in text, so it's easier to find through google. Don't just use a title card.

Also, this is not as common anymore, but if you're going to name your cc after a song, make sure your file names include some kind of basic description of the item, or a put a preview picture in your zip/rar/7z file.

I've got to remember that it's perfectly okay to only share one or two things at a time. I don't need to release a freaking Stuff Pack of clothes or hair in one go.

Hi!

You might know me around the Simming Community as Logan, Sonikku3, Lan the Hedgehog (No comments), if you'd like to say something just call me Logan, I'm a 17 year-old guy with a, like (not obsession... maybe a bit) for Sims, and X-men too (my favourite... a bit obvious), but Sims mostly, oh and Video Game making, and Pixel Art, And... i'll stop or else i'll just fill my introduction post, I forgot to mention, I'm portuguese.

Around the community i've done a lot of stuff... a bit of Machinma here, a bit of storytell there, a bit of CC making over there... yeah, i'm sort of a Jack -of-all-trades.

I'll just repost things i enjoy and trips to memory lane, and when my computer is fixed even more.

I hope i can meet lots of folks here besides the ones i know.
