4to2 Ice Cream Earrings + Strawberry Necklace with Add-Ons

Posted on 13 Jul 2025 by NixNivis

I know, I know – I have some explaining to do here. I’ve… installed TS4. 😮 Not to play, mind – to be able to convert CC. I’ve played it exactly once, just so it would spawn everything it needed to spawn, but that’s it. I’m staying true to my beloved TS2. ❤

Anyway. When I was playing with S4CASTools and Sims 4 Studio to get a feeling for how they worked, I came across this adorable pair of ice cream earrings for AF (that I'm sure have been converted before – I mean, they're base game), and I also found a cute strawberry necklace for CF. They seemed like an easy enough project for my very first 4to2 conversion… so I converted them. And then I made some add-ons, too, because of course I did: earrings for the strawberry necklace and a necklace for the ice cream earrings.

So since it’s summer – have some ice cream and strawberries!

Insets for Skell’s Improved Scrubs – Accessory Box Version

Posted on 6 May 2025 by NixNivis

As I said in my scrubs post, I’ve made accessory box versions of the insets, to save your sanity and space in Bodyshop and CAS. And here they are! 😀

36 Recols for Skell’s Improved Scrubs with Accessory Insets

Posted on 6 May 2025 by NixNivis

Title, of course, from here.

Background: I’m writing a story, that isn’t Star Trek-based for once, where most of the characters including my two main characters are doctors and I needed some nice scrubs for them. (The Sims in the title pic are all story Sims, BTW.) I’m not super keen on the (hidden) scrubs in game, so I was very happy to stumble upon Skell’s improved scrubs project (where Skell made new scrubs based on the BV masseuse uniform). There are some nice recols for it out there already, but as always I wanted my own. I was just going to make a few… but if you know me at all, you know that I never, ever stop at “just a few.” 😅

Signet Rings for Hat

Rings for Hat

Seeing the signet rings I made a little while back, that lords wear on the little finger and ladies on the middle finger, Almighty Hat wished for index finger rings, and/or for little finger rings “for ladies who handle their own correspondence.” Hat is somebody I totally fangirl (srsly, she’s solely responsible for about 2/3 if not more of the CC in my medieval game), so of course I had to comply with her wish.

So. Hat (and everybody else) – have some signet rings, v. 2.0.

Accessory Signet Rings (v. 1.0)

Signet Rings

You can find v. 2.0 of these rings here.

This is one of those “I don’t know if anybody else will want this, but I’ll upload it anyway” things.

In this medievalish story I’m writing, one of my male characters takes off his signet ring and gives it to a certain lady character (in lieu of another kind of ring 😉 ). I was in the middle of taking screenshots when I realised that none of the rings I already had in my game looked anything like I wanted – so I made some that did look like I wanted.

Swords for Morgaine

Swords for Morgaine

Update 27 July, 2016: In case your Sims don’t like to run around all day with their swords unsheathed (I mean, you can poke somebody’s eye out like that. Or your own), ocelotekatl @ Blue Heaven Sims has made great completer set with scabbards for these!

When she saw my posebox with accessory swords, Morgaine – the brilliant author of The Chronicles of Albion – wondered if it would be possible to turn the swords into the kind of accessories your Sims put on in a mirror, so you could use them with other poseboxes and animation boxes as well. Since Albion is one of my favouritest (that is too a word!) Sim stories ever, of course I accepted the challenge. 😀

The swords have all been extracted from TSM, so much as I’d like to I can’t take any credit for the meshes or textures.

Vulcan Ears for All Ages

Posted on 6 Feb 2013 by NixNivis

Over at SimTrek (forum is gone now), Dominie wanted ears for her Vulcans – proper Vulcan ears, thank you very much, that angle forward like Spock’s. My Vulcan Sims and I thought this sounded logical, so I took her up on it. 🙂

Rank Insignia – New and Improved!

Posted on 30 Dec 2012 by NixNivis

During 2013, I plan on updating all my old body and accessory meshes. But I’m going to jump the gun a little and start with my Starfleet rank insignia already – they really needed help.

I haven’t just updated the meshes, though. I’ve updated… well, everything. 🙂

Changelog:

all meshes have been updated; they now have a better shape and look crisper
all UV maps have been updated so that they actually make sense
all textures have been updated, following the new UV maps
the admiral’s rank insignia for TNG/VGR now have their own meshes and recols
the TNG/VGR shoulder rank insignia have new bone assignments; they now move properly with the shoulder and won’t clip as badly into the Sim’s body
and last but not least, all rank insignia now have custom thumbnails in CAS and in game, so you’ll no longer have to squint at a nondescript head to try to figure out how many pips it’s wearing

Warm, Comfy Slippers

Posted on 5 Nov 2012 by NixNivis

For us in the northern hemisphere (and especially here in the northern northern hemisphere), the days are getting shorter and the weather colder. Me, I always wear warm slippers at this time of year, since I really don’t like it when my feet are cold – so I thought my Sims should have something to keep their feet warm as well.
