Just cleaning out my closet. Here is a collection of little gameplay mods that do little things, made for my own game, tested in my own game. Sold as-is, no returns.

Copper Hill November, a seasonal texture pack
Please note: this mod comes AS-IS. Because of the way I work on my seasonal texture replacements as I play through the calendar year in my game, these monthly packs may never be 100% complete. For example, right now, northern districts in my game are about 80% done and southern districts are about 20% done. But it's time for me to move on to December, so I won't get a chance to work on this November set again until next sim-year.
At my pace, that could be another year in real life, too.
Also note, we can probably expect a seasons EP soon that will blow the whole thing out of the water.
But some people have expressed interest in partaking in the Copper Hill experience anyway (as I do in my own game, obviously), so here it is. I will likely share the other months, too, as I work through my sims' calendar year.
Copper Hill November represents the tail end of autumn in Windenburg. Fall colors are past peak and some of the trees are beginning to thin. You'll find lots of ruddy reds, muddy browns, and if you look closely, even some decay as the dying leaves begin to crumble.

Owned and loved by the Nova family for over sixty years, this classic family home has been given a fresh coat of paint and put on the market for a new family to grow into.
download: Sierra Nova University, Dorms & Campus
These lots are probably among the least interesting things I've ever built since they are just a remodel of the lots that were already there. But anyway, somebody asked for them, so here they are!
Sorry, nighttime pics because I need my game to stay in nighttime for a scene I need to do.

In my game, they live in this neighborhood in Oasis Springs.
The campus lot is 50x50, $296,309, zoned as a library.
The dorm lot is 40x30, $180,015, zoned residential.
on randomizing genetics
Hi Anon, sure thing!
Lots of simmers I know use internet dice rolling to randomize stats, but still, after all these years, I prefer a program someone made for TS2. Hook's RandomStuff Roller. I hope those files are still available for download, now and always. There's a very little bit of a learning curve to using it, but after an hour or two I found myself writing up ROS scenarios and randomizing EVERYTHING. It's so much fun, lol!
So when a sim is born in my town, I give them two rolls. The first is my aging file and the second is inherited genetics.
modified aging and pregnancy
Thank you to Dark Gaia for the aging mod, and Tanja1986 for the pregnancy mod, from which my own mods are tweaked.
Aging:
First, before you install any of these mods, a couple of notes:
Keep in mind that I DO intend to change the distribution of these ages in the event that we finally get toddlers, pre-teens, or any other aging stage. I do not promise to keep updating older versions of the mod, only the one that I'm currently using.
Also note that I am NOT a modder. I know my way around S4PE, and I can tweak mods that other people have made, that's all. If a patch breaks these mods (which happens often!), I cannot fix them. I have to wait for the original creators to update first, and then I'll update my versions. If you use any crucial game mod (like aging and pregnancy are) that can't be taken out without messing up your sims' ages and pregnancies, please always wait before updating your game. You can continue playing in "offline mode" until updates are available. Sometimes this can take a couple of weeks... or longer, if a creator decides to abandon the mod. All of that is out of my control.
My aging stages currently look like this. Ages are in "years."
0-1, baby
2-11, child
12-18, teen
19-35, young adult
36-59, adult
60-89 elder
0-1, baby
2-11, child
12-18, teen
19-35, young adult
36-59, adult
60-89 elder
On the "long" setting, there are 120 sim-days in a year. 120 x 89 = a total lifespan of 10,680 sim-days. Yes, that is LONG, lol! That's the way I like it.
Medium is currently 30 sim-days per year.
Short is currently 15 sim-days per year.

*** update notes:
- 2/16/2016: oops, I had 22 years instead of 24 for the adult stage. Fixed!

Pregnancy:
My sims are pregnant for 90 days, to represent 9 months of a 120-day year. Note that this mod matches only the LONG setting of my aging mod, and it does NOT scale if you change the aging length. Tanja1986 at MTS does have some shorter versions available, too.
This mod also changes the rate of twins to 3% down from 33%, because I don't like that many sets of twins in my game. Just a personal preference.
*** note: this pregnancy mod is obsolete and will be overridden if you use the pregnancy module of MCCC, which allows you to set pregnancy length in game.

These mods are extensively play tested in my own game and working to the best of my knowledge as of the most recent patch.
*** update, 11/14/16: You can now modify both aging and pregnancy lengths very easily as part of MCCC, which is a highly supported mod that I totally recommend. I will leave these mods available in case anyone still needs them, but I am not using them myself any longer and they will not be updated.

mod: romantic fireplace for all lots
Made buyable, movable, and deletable. This does not unlock the lot trait, just the fireplace itself, just as it is in the game. There were five colors hidden in the game, and I left the original price which was $600. I made a second identical version that costs $1200 because I thought $600 seemed too cheap. But that’s just me, so choose which one you like. Enjoy!
