Key Points
-
Over 100K downloads across two websites
-
55% views to download ratio for Sulani Notifications and Flyers mod
-
Modify existing or create new files using XML to edit player interactions, objects, UI, skills, and character traits
-
Created game design documents for each to mod to state the purpose, define planned features, and processes for implementation
Sulani Events Calendar and Flyer Notifications
This is QOL mod that gives the players more opportunities for storytelling by sending notifications of Island events.
The mod sends a notification to the player when an event on the Sulani Island starts, as well as creates an event on the calendar to notify them ahead of time.
​
I created this mod, so that players have a chance to fully experience the Island Living DLC, as many players aren't aware of these events since there arent any notifications.
​
-
Created XML Files to program the notifications to display when the event starts along with a button that displays the event flyer when clicked
-
Created XML files that allowed each event to appear on the calendar at the start of each week and display the event flyer when interacted with
-
Created 8 backdrops in Canva for each flyer's theme to match existing flyers' aesthetic in Sims 4
-
Created copy for all 8 flyers and ensured text matched theming of Sims 4 verbiage

Sulani Culture Skill
This is a gameplay mod that allows players to learn more about the culture of the island Sulani while interacting with the island and customs.
I created this mod since I noticed throughout gameplay there was mention of Sulani Culture, but it was not clear as to what Sulani was about. I decided to make this mod work similarly to the Selvadorada Culture Skill in another Sims 4 DLC.
This mod allows players to unlock new ways of engaging with Sulani culture as they interact with the island and customs. The mod also gives Sims from Sulani new interactions with Sulani Locals or Sims not from Sulani.
​
-
Created and Modified XML Files to program Skill increase from numerous interactions
-
Created a Character trait for storytelling purposes that gives a Sim max Skill and buffs for being a native of Sulani
-
Modified in game objects with new interactions that increases new skill
-
Created social interactions for storytelling that allow the Sim to learn about or discuss Sulani culture

Separated ThriftTea Lot Types
Separated ThriftTea Lots is a mod for Build Mode that gives players more customization from a feature that originally limited this ability. This mod was created because of players' frustration with the ThrifTea Lot Type that only allowed a combo of a Thrift Store and Boba Tea store to be mixed in one.
The mod creates two new lot types. The lot types function as separate stores with Sims browsing and purchasing clothing at Thrift Stores and Purchasing Tea from a Barista at the Boba Tea Shop.
​
-
Modified the world's Venue List and Created new XML files for the two new lot types
-
Added Building Requirements for each lot, so they function as they would in the real world for realism
-
Searched through game files to find the most fitting icon for new types
