Description
So, when making my graves I have to admit that I found the Sims4 is missing one BIG aspect of life. Namely religion. As a guy who makes a lot of graves I find that I kinda do want religion in my game. But not any actual religions! No, I want the religions found within the Sims universe! Namely the Jacoban and Peteran religions form the Sims Medieval and the Kine Society from the Sims 2 PSP.
Oh and the Door of Life and Death is in here too. Because ... I want it.
Other have ripped a lot of Jacoban and Peteran stuff, but NOBODY has ripped them with correct textures. My items have official textures, correct prices and I've gone as far as to make sure even the environment scores are accurate as well! I went through so many items to find correctly corresponding environment scores, but I finally did it. I really hope there isn't a typo anywhere since I had to manually type out the titles and descriptions...
I also like the Kine society form the PSP game. I find them to be a really fun depiction of a cult. It's a shame they aren't in any other games and that I can't rip form the Sims2 DS. As it stands, most of the meshes and textures are too low rez even for me, so for the first time I've heavily modified existing items to mimic items found in the Kine Dairy.
It was important to me to rip the holy books from the in-games religions as well, but I've merged the Medieval ones since they share tuning. I mean, what's a religion without a holy book, right? Even if they aren't specified in the game I did my best on all of them.
Sims 2 PSP
Kine Society Banner - A conversion from the Sims 2 PSP it's kind of low rez, but kinda works if you don't zoom in too much.
Kine Society Door - This is a remake using a basegame door modified to sort of resemble the door to the Kine Dairy. It uses all the colors the door had before as well as one sampled from the Sims2 game.
Kine Society Refrigerator - This is a remake based off the fridge from the refrigerator found in the game. It's based off the fridge from Get to Work, but I made it basegame compatible. It has all the colors that fridge had as well as the red version from the Sims 2. The pink milk cartons are actually converted from the Sims 2 since I enjoy the Tragic Clown's cameo on the side. It's pretty high poly.
Kine Society Cow Horns - A conversion for the PSP game.
Kine Society Cow Picture - It gets a bit pixelated if you zoom in. I think it mostly works.
Kine Society Cow Poster - A VERY pixelated picture, but I think it also kinda works.
Beelzebeef Statue - This is the object that inspired the whole set. It's a shame there isn't more Beelzebeef items in the game and I can't rip from Sims2 DS, so this is the best it gets. I think the faceted look work alright since it's a statue after all. Although the carpet is really blurry.
Beelzebeef Statue 2 - A version without the blurry carpet, incense, and offering. IMO this works better, but I wanted the full version as an option.
Kine Society Cowprint - Wallpaper based on the ones found in the Sims2 PSP. The wood on this is darker than in the game, but whatever. In the end this actually turned out to be decently close to what's in that game.
The Bovinomicon - A confident book. I feel like the religions really need a readable book to really work and it was neat to bring this into the Sims 4.
Sims 3
Door of Life And Death - The full door, robbed of it's supernatural powers. How can I make Grim Reaper stuff and leave this out? I managed to get it and all it's recolors! The footprint only extends to the rood itself, however, so Sims can pass through the statures like they don't even exist. This was actually tricky to get. In the end I just deleted any element that caused an error when the package was opened in TSW using the Sims3 Package Editor until it opened successfully. After that I could easily extract the correct texture colors.
Door of Life And Death - Door - This is the door alone, separated from the door proper. I mean ... why not?
Door of Life And Death - Mat - The welcome mat is kinda neat all on it's own.
Door of Life And Death - Statue - The statue from the door, rotated to face forwards.
Sims Medieval
'Watcher's Eye' Archive of the Priest - This desk also has working candles! It's modified to have a flat surface instead of the tilted one. I was surprised to find that it was much taller than an ordinary desk from the Sims 4.
'Watcher's Eye' Archive of the Priest Chair - This is a chair made specifically to work with the Priest desk. It's as high as a stool, so it really can't be used with anything else.
Jacoban Fireplace - It can't be used for cooking, despite the pot. Just a fancy old-fashioned fireplace.
Jacoban Ceremonial Altar - Also has candles!
Stone Loveseat in High Jacoban Style
Early Jacoban Temple Pew
Proclamation Board - A conversion of the proclamation board with all states - with paper, without paper, torn from the top and from the bottom. Not only is it a lamp, but it's also a master board for the Sims 4 containing the tuning for the parenting bulletin board, City Living's festival board, Jungle Adventure's adventure board, and Season's Scout board! There are some clipping issues when you post messages to it while there's a paper on there, but it's the best I can do without the messages floating too obviously away form the board itself. It's cloned from a basegame items, so even if you don't have any of those packs, it should still be useful.
Jacoban Pulpit - If you have City Living this is a working podium! If you don't this is still a neat candle. I don't really know what happens if your code references a function not found in the game. It contains unused textures you can only see in debug mode. They're kinda small, so it's not perfect for them, however. Someone else made their own conversions, but it seems like it was made a long time ago and didn't have the official textures. Also it seems to have been made before City Living and relies on an old "political" mod. So I feel like this is more necessary than some of the other items here.
Jacoban Grand Guiltstone
Grand Gilded Qualmboard of the Jacoban
Jacobite Triumph Pennant
Altar of Peter
Humble Peteran Work Bowl
Peteran Civic Fountain in Ochre Masonry - A non-working fountain.
Hooded Guardian of the Infinite Spill - Another non working fountain. It's actually supposed to be for the Peterans.
Peteran Pulpit - Basically the same as the Jacobian Pulpit, it also includes unused textures.
Hooded Guardian of Peteran Conjecture - A big 'ol statue
Peteran Stone of Remembrance
Celestial Wall Totem of the All-Seeing Watcher - Actually ascribed to the Peterans.
Peteran Urn - A seemingly unused item I converted while converting everything else.
Peteran Watcher Wink - A wall banner
Giant Peteran Water Cup
Peteran Wood Vow Pall
Gilded Gimcrack of the Advocate - A neat little statue in a boxlike structure.
Gilded Saint Nook of the Syncresis - A neat little statue in a narrower boxlike structure.
Sublime Altar of the Glorious Watcher - Doubles as a candle too.
Majestic Altar of the Merciful Watcher - a gigantic alter over two stories high! Fit for a grand cathedral!
Prodigal Fountain of the Unsparing Watcher - A non functional fountains. It was part of the set, so I ripped it.
Jacoban Gospel - A focused book. Comes in an "Archive" and "Altar" version, but it's the same book with different covers. It was a real pain getting the book to work with the Archive book's texture, but I managed. These books all use the Sims Medieval's icons as thought bubbles!
Peteran Gospel - An Energized book.
Watcher's Tome - An Inspired book.
Pre-Watcher Pagan Relic - Pagans exist too, ya know!
