Custom buff
Much like my Functional Perfume and Cologne, your sims can now use lotion to get a custom buff.
Sims with itchiness buffs from various packs and mods should use it autonomously but tbh I'm not sure if that's broken or if my sims are just stubborn jerks. Let me know if catch your sims using this autonomously.
These are overrides of a EA items given custom tuning. It shouldn't conflict with anything unless you have something else that happens to modify this object specifically. In any case, please let me know if you have any problems with it.
- Basegame Basket (2 versions)
- Basegame Baby Lotion Box (2 versions)
- Bathroom Clutter Kit Lotion Tubes
- Bathroom Clutter Kit Single Lotion
- Bathroom Clutter Kit Skincare Set
- Bathroom Clutter Kit Tray
- Spa Day Oils Tray
Update 6/8/23:
- Added new basegame objects from the infant update
- Adjusted tags for consistency (yes this probably reverts past changes but you've probably realized by now how fleeting my decisions are)
- Fixed missing search terms
- Moved the basegame soap pump clone to an addon so you only get it if you want it.
Past Updates:
Update 2/22/23:
- Added objects from Bathroom Clutter Kit
- Removed custom thumbnails to bring down file size and save myself some work going forward
- Made all objects livedraggable to make taking them in and out of the inventory more user friendly
- Discontinued the animation fallback addon. I don’t think it’s needed. If you have any problems with the animation let me know.
- I realized that having Separate, Merged, and Merged by pack was probably confusing so I’ll be slowly updating all my mods to use a new structure.
- So that means that starting with v1.6.2 the Separate download has been discontinued.
- Renamed the files to better reflect the mod name
- Now there are two downloads: Merged and ByPack.
– Merged contains all objects in one file.
– ByPack contains a TUNING file and one file per pack. You can pick and choose the packs you have/want
– Each download also contains a file explaining this. - Please delete your existing files and redownload one of the new zips because the renamed files won’t overwrite the old ones.
- Added Polish translation from Mircul
- Added French translation from Vanessa Sims
- Added a new object which has been requested by multiple people. It's a clone of the basegame "Ceramic Soap Dispenser" renamed as "Ceramic Lotion Dispenser"
- Since nobody has complained about the Sunblock animation not working, I'm making the change here too: Reworked the animation and animation addon setup. Hopefully the main animation works for everyone, but if it doesn't you should grab the AnimationFallback addon. Then please reach out to me to help me figure out the expansion requirements for sure (animations are annoying). Please make sure to delete all old versions, including addons.
- Added the missing hidden tags for Chinese Simplified.
- I very briefly deleted the merged file due to a glitch, but I've reuploaded it now.
- Brand new search functionality! I'm slowly adding hidden tags to my objects so you can find them by searching for "Ilex" (that's an uppercase i at the beginning if you can't tell). In English you can also search for "Lotion" and have these come up.
- Added Russian translation from SER_KISYAN
- The addon isn't actually updated but I wanted to keep the version numbers in sync.
- The merged file strings were still screwed up somehow.
- Fixed an issue where all the strings were in Czech after my last update. Turns out the string tables bug out on me if I do things in a certain order. Lesson learned.
- Behind the scenes fix for my strings. You won't actually see a change in game, but the old way risked conflicting with my own mods as well as others.
- Added Czech translation from Mikaela_Lovett
- Added integration with NateTheL0ser's Misery Traits. After reaching out and getting permission I've made it so my lotion will remove the winter dry skin buff from the Dry Skin trait.
- Updated the Spa Day lotion object to be in Bathroom Accents. It's easier to find things there and it makes sense.
- The addon hasn't actually changed but I updated it to keep the versioning consistent.
- Fixed a bug in the addon that kept it from using the correct loot. So I was wrong, you do need to update that file.
- Added proper integration with ItsKatato's Preteen Mod. After reaching out and getting permission I've made it so my lotion will remove the dry skin buff from showering with that mod.
- Added integration with my Functional Sunblock mod.
- Added custom thumbnails so you can tell at a glance where the objects came from
- Added ItsKatato's Preteen Mod dry skin buff to the list of buffs that (supposedly) trigger autonomy. IMPORTANT: This does not mean that it actually interacts with it. I've reached out to It'sKatato to ask about actual integration, but I'm not adding that without permission. To get rid of her buff you will still need to use her interaction.
- Renamed the addon to be (hopefully) more accurate. Please delete the old one as the new file will not override it.
The new strings are in:
- English
- Czech (missing some newer strings)
- French
- Polish
- Russian
Compatibility & Integration
- Includes integration with ItsKatato's Preteen Mod and will remove the dry skin buff as if you used the lotion interaction from that mod.
- Includes integration with NateTheL0ser's Misery Traits and will remove the winter dry skin buff from the Dry Skin trait.
Future plans
- If you know of an item I missed let me know
Thank you!

About Me
---
- If you're an object creator and want to use any of my tuning you totally can. Just link people to my stuff to download it (rather than including it in your download) and send me a link to your work if you want me to share it.
- Don't upload my content anywhere without asking me. I may give permission to my translators to share my mods where they'll be more accessible to non-English speaking players.
I have a Patreon if you want to donate and support me, but none of my functionality mods are locked behind a paywall.
If you want to test my mods in early access, become a translator, or just join my little community you can join my Discord server. The server is also typically the best way to get in touch with me if you have a question or problem.
