As if this week couldn't get worse in terms of Sims news I've discovered today that a very popular mod stole a bunch of code from one of my mods without asking or credit... I think I might need a break from this crap again. Just when I started getting excited about modding and playing the game again

Spend the last few days adding more ways for ghosts to gain spirit connection, balanced the gameplay a bit and am working on incorporating more community ideas. This is a big feature update and I need your feedback and ideas to make it work well so if you want to help test join the Discord!

I‘m going through some of the existing features and am tweaking and updating them for the motives. Ghost can now gain a moodlet reward for taking part in the lifted veil holiday that will slow down their spirit connection for a bit

Set up a save file to playtest Ghastly Ghosts and I'm having a lot of fun with it. The ghosts all have different personalities and the humans can't see them so it's all very chaotic. It's inspired by the tv show I've worked on a while ago. How do you play with ghosts?

I love adding suggestions from people who use my mods like this idea by @waffle64.bsky.social I'm currently working on finally making some progress on the motive overhaul for ghosts but love adding small things like this!

I have a little surprise drop for you and am bringing back Paws & Claws! But it's not just that mod returning - Flower Pets is back as well and now part of the remaster. The remaster comes with many more changes. Learn more here: chippeds-creation-corner.super.site/mods/paws-an...

I just uploaded the update for Ghastly Ghosts I showed a sneak peek of the other day but I'm already working on the next update so I'll show you another sneak peek...

Happy Haunts & Ghastly Ghosts are compatible with all recent patches and don't require any updates! I continued adding some small features to Ghastly Ghosts though and hope I can release those soon. PS: I accidentally discovered there will be a new death type with the new pack...

I'm working on some spooky updates for Happy Haunts bringing back some of the old beloved features! I need to replace my Olive Specter NPC with a new unique Sim so I opened a little community contest for it. If you want to learn more you can check out the post in my server: discord.gg/6tSScDPKzY

Working on more updates for Ghastly Ghosts 👀

Ghastly Ghosts V2.1.0 (Feature Update) This update brings you a new overhaul to the ghost reactions! Read more about it here: chippeds-creation-corner.super.site/mods/ghastly...

I'm working on a new feature update for Ghastly Ghosts that will add new reactions to Sims interacting with ghosts. Sims who can't see ghosts will get new unique reactions that are influenced by their personalities.

I'm working on another new feature for the remastered version of Paws & Claws that will integrate with the animal shelter system in the future. It works similar to the sim characteristics. There will be a system to auto assign these preferences based on your Sims personality as well.

Ghastly Ghosts V2.0.4 (Pack & Patch Updates) Little surprise update (yes I'm still alive 😅). No news about the other mods yet so please don't ask. I'll share news about them once I have something to share. Learn more here: chippeds-creation-corner.super.site/mods/ghastly...

It's been a while since I had time to work on my mods but the Paws & Claws Remaster is making progress and I added a feature that I wanted to add for a long time - the ability to gain/ lose preferences dynamically! I'll share more details on how it works in the future.

Little sneak peek for the remastered Paws & Claws mod 👀 I stumbled upon some very old code I wrote and decided to integrate it in the remaster. The animal preferences are currently in testing and flower pets has been merged with "A Sim's best friend" into a new module called "Lifelong Companions"

I already meant to post this yesterday but I wrote a dev log that goes a bit more into detail about what changed in the remastered verison of Happy Haunts and the features included so far. medium.com/@chippedsim/...

Ghastly Ghosts is unaffected by the patch but I've uploaded a little fix for a tuning error. And now for the more exiting news: I've uploaded a first version of Happy Haunts! Make sure to check both out here: chippeds-creation-corner.super.site/mods

The happy haunts overhaul has a ton of features so I’m currently working on a roadmap and am debating on releasing them in parts so you can already enjoy the features that are finished like the new visitor schedule, venue moodlets and witching hour effects! Would you be interested in that?

I'm working on new tooltips for the urns/ tombstones utilizing the style of the new heirlooms. There are still some tweaks I want to make but the basic system is working now

Ghastly Ghosts - V2.0.1 I just released a small update based on some user feedback and made sim picker interactions work correctly with the visibility restrictions now. Read the full change log here: chippeds-creation-corner.super.site/mods/ghastly...

Took a little break from modding after the release of ghastly ghosts and started building something with the new pack!

Ghastly Ghosts V2.0.0 (Remastered Version) It's finally here! The first public version of the remastered edition has been uploaded. It's now fully integrated with the new pack. Check out the full change log on the mod page! chippeds-creation-corner.super.site/mods/ghastly...

I brought back even more stuff that I was working on before - the option to quickly see who’s buried at the cemetery! If you click on a Sim it will focus the camera on their grave so it’s easier to find 😊

The remaster of Happy Haunts will bring back the beautiful object that @surelysims.com helped me make a while ago. This object will give you some new ways of managing your cemetery including the option to set a specific cemetery keeper.

I unlocked all interactions that can normally only be performed during funerals. They're still restricted in their autonomy so that Sims won't get obsessed with interacting with tombstones though. Now I just need to add some outcomes and add back my own interactions I made.

The little specters are still mocking me and refuse to stay invisible but otherwise the Ghastly Ghosts Remaster is slowly coming together and the members of my server have been incredibly helpful in tracking down issues!

Currently working on overhauling the eulogies by combining them with aspects of my old system. This is a preview of the new interface for writing eulogies that I'm currently trying to add. There will be two new types of eulogies as well.

Happy Haunts is also getting a remaster with some new visual effects, new moodlets and much more. This new version requires the Life & Death EP and will overhaul and expand the existing systems.

I'm going to post my sneak peeks here in the future! More detailed info can be found on my Discord server. These are some previews of the Ghastly Ghosts Remaster. Besides integration with the new pack there will be some small additions and improvements everywhere!
