(1.0) LittleRedSonja Fancy Home Deco mod

[LittleRedSonja]

 

Hi! This was my first mod for 7 days to die. I made it for personal use while I walked my first steps in the game (dying a lot 😋), but I decided to share it with you.

 

This mod is intended to add and improve decorations for your base. I will be adding new stuff that I find nice or interesting, and I am open for requests or suggestions 🥰

 

In version 1.0.0, the first version of the mod, I added one of my favorite lights in the game: Made the End Table Lamps a powerable light source, to light your base with a warm and nice looking light. This was the first thing I modded in the game 🥰.

 

 

But after that I have learned more and have added LOTS of nice cozy decorations for your base 💜, from decorative vehicles, more lights or cute umbrellas to "Steve the Zombie", custom nice secure storage or one million different doors. And much MUCH more. Both as pickupable items in the world and craftable stuff in the workbench. 

 

 

There is a lot of cozy content, too much to add everything here in this first post, but if you are curious scroll down and check the content in all the updates so far. 

 

 

I also document all the additions in the "Changelog.txt" and add some nice pictures showing the new stuff in a folder included in the mod files. 

 

 

If you like to decorate your base with nice and cozy items then you might enjoy this mod. I am sure you will find something you like inside it. 

 

 

And if you have suggestions, or want something in particular to be added to the mod, let me know! I am always open to suggestions and happy to help people create beautiful places in 7 days to die 💜.

I forgot to add a link to the NO POWER ADD ON for people not using nexus, I am so VERY SORRY! (see edit history)

[LittleRedSonja]

Update v 1.0.1:

        - Makes the reptile terrarium, the piano, gym equipment and medical equipment pickupable.
        - Makes the preview pictures smaller, for a smaller download.
        - Updated ModInfo file.
        - Added a changelog file to the download ☺️

 

Add a nice Reptile terrarium to your base, pythons and cobras are nice pets and "perfectly safe to keep" (Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any missing limbs or poisoning cases 😉😞

 

Do you want a piano? No problem, just grab it and run away. Does it make any sense? Probably no, but the idea of you fighting zombies while carrying a piano on your back makes me laugh:

 

Arrange a home clinic in your base, probably necessary after your reptile pet tries to eat you or you try to run with a piano on your back:

 

Once you recover from your injuries it is time to train those muscles, lets pump iron in your own private gym!:

 

Right now no practical use other than decoration for your base. I will try to make some of the stuff functional in some way once I learn a bit more 😋.

I hope you enjoy it, and if you find issues or suggestions let me know 💜

Hi there, nice mod!

 

This is how I started learning - very simple modifications at first, then if I wanted to do something but didn't know how I'd look for similar fuctionality in the xml or borrow ideas from others.
Eventually, it expanded so much that we released it as a mod: 

I'm locked out of that account now (email no longer exists), but I'm currently working on a new mod, which is a Casino with working slot machines.

Keep going with your mod!

I will look forward to seeing future updates 

[LittleRedSonja]

Oh wow a casino!? I always wanted to play a map that was all desert and a big city, sort of apocalypse in Las Vegas, that would fit perfect! 🥰

And thank you for the suggestions, I hope I will learn more with a little practice and make more complex stuff 💜

Yes! I've already got the slots working, just changing the interface, also have got roulette tables 😀

You talking about the new NPC?
Lol, you don't find them... they find you!
You get turned into a random creature/animal if they find you... and you must survive until the next dawn in that form (kinda like Ladyhawke). If you survive, you turn back to yourself with no problems... if not, you suffer either a debilitating debuff or lengthy curse for angering the witch!

[LittleRedSonja]

Update v 1.0.2: 

- Updated for v 1.0

 

http://www.simfileshare.net/download/4746207/

 

The A21 version is still available for anybody playing A21. 

I hope you enjoy and let me knw if you find any issues. 

[LittleRedSonja]

Update: 

- Fixed a bug that prevented some of the features included in the mod from working properly. Sorry folks, It will be working as expected now. If you downloaded the mod yesterday please delete and install the new version. 

- Added some more decorations: Movie posters, a microphone, the new "staff only" sign, pool table and a radio. 

- The mod works both server side for multiplayer and player side for solo play. That means that if the mod is installed in the server you are playing in you do not need to install the mod yourself. If you play solo, then install the mod as usual.

I will take a look for sure and see what I can do ☺️.

Update 1.0.4 (both for A21 and 1.0): 

 

- Added x-ray lamps as salvageable (you need a wrench, ratchet or impact driver) AND as a new craftable item in the workbench (recipe unlocks with Electrician Tier 1: Basic Electricity). You get a variant block helper so you can choose to place the empty variant or the full variant back home in your home clinic. You can turn them on and off. You can pick them up again after placing them if you hold "E".
      - Added the same function to my end table lamps: You can turn them on and off, and pick them up again after being placed. In existing saves with already placed end tables you need to pick up the end table and place it again for the switch on/off function to work.
      - Added the Exit sign lights as salvageable (you need a wrench, ratchet or impact driver) AND as a new craftable item in the workbench (recipe unlocks with Electrician Tier 1: Basic Electricity). You get a variant block helper so you can choose what variant you want to place. You can turn them on and off. You can pick them up again after placing them if you hold "E".

 

As always I hope you enjoy it and if you find issues or have suggestions let me know! 😘

Special thanks to Drist and Redknight from the Eko Server for the suggestions to add the Exit sign and the X-Ray lights to the mod 💜.

 

[LittleRedSonja]

Update 1.0.5 (both for v 1.0 and A21): 

 

- Added a "Road Closed" sign. You can use a wrench, ratchet or impact driver to pick up the sign. It is powerable, with nice yellow lights.  
- Added the standing "no Parking" sign as pickupable so people stop parking their motorcycles on your lawn.  
- Fixed the "No parking Tow Away" sign, so when you pick it up you actually get that sign and not a random placeholder. 
- When you pick up a mannequin now you will get a variant helper that allows you to choose between 5 different models. That means that now you can actually place the Military mannequin now if you want, which was not possible before.
- Added a wheelchair as a pickupable item. You will get a variant helper so you can choose between several different colors when you place it back in your base.
- You can now decorate your own shooting range with the new pickupable target posters. You will get a variant helper so you can choose between 3 different models. You can also shoot at them as much as you want, even with a rocket launcher, without destroying them. If you want to remove them simply pick them up again or hit them with any melee weapon or tool.
- Added the elusive "windowStoreWedge60BulletproofRight" as a new shape. This shape is missing in the awesome "Beautiful bases" by GNS, so you can use it until He updates his fantastic mod.  

 

      

 

Thank you again to all the nice people in Eko Server for their suggestions to improve the mod 😘.

 

I hope you enjoy the new additions and if you find issues or have suggestions let me know! 💜

edited in description, "impact driver" instead for "sledge hammer" :) (see edit history)

Update 1.0.6 (A21 and v 1.0): 

 

- Edits to improve mod compatibility with other mods that edit lights in someway, and with any other mod in general. This should solve an issue that some players using other mods were experiencing with errors and stuttering when interacting with x-ray lamps, exit signs, road block signs and end table lamps inside POI. 
- Remade all the electric items from scratch as new custom blocks to improve mod compatibility and prevent similar problems in the future. That means that, since they are new items, you need to pick up or salvage the old ones and place a new one for the update to take place. It only affects end table lamps, exit signs, road block signs and x-ray lamps. You do not need to do anything else with the other items included in the mod. 
- Removed one line of code that was redundant. This did not affect how the mod works, it is mostly for peace of mind on my end. Some of you might have seen a yellow warning in the console about this, now it should be gone. 
- Added a new lamp table in 8 different colors. It is craftable in workbench as a variant helper so you can choose what color you want. Like with all my other lights it is pickupable (hold "E", like you would do to pick a workstation) and of course powerable, and you can turn it on and off by pressing "E". It is unlocked at level 25 Electrician (Basic electricity). 
- Added a new Zombie decoration. It is craftable in the workstation, and of course pickupable. Say "Hello!" to Steve the Zombie 😄.
- From now on all the new items included in the mod will be custom items to prevent other mods from causing any incompatibility issues.  

 

  

 

 

I hope you enjoy the new content and If you find any issues or have suggestions or questions let me know. The easiest way is to write a comment here or contacting me in Discord (@LittleRedSonja) 💜.

[renejant]

possible you could get glow sticks into the game? which can be turned on and after some time they turn off/fade out? also they have to be throwable ofcourse

 

Edited July 13 by renejant (see edit history)

[LittleRedSonja]

I could do something like that, although that would make the mod server + client, no longer server side only. I will take a look at that and eventually add it as an optional ADD-ON for people that play solo or servers that use server+client side mods. 

 

Thank you for the suggestions and I hope you enjoy the mod 💜

Would love to have it as standalone mod... as i play only solo... im a person who doesn't like multiplayer games so much.. i suggested this cuz i want to be able to throw in a glow stick into a very dark poi/corner as i clear it.... o btw, could you make it so that it doesn't attract zombies as in the heatmap? cuz torches contribute to the heatmap...

 

i guess you understand the purpose of it...?

Update 1.0.7 (A21 and v 1.0): 

 

- Finally added a Localization file so new items will now have nice proper names :).       
- Added a new LED panel light, white and black border variants,  normal and offset variants so you can place things on top of them. They have structural stability so you   can build with them if you want. Craftable in workbench as a Variant Helper, unlocks at Electrician level 25 (Basic electricity).     
- Added a Pop-N-Pills light sign, both big and small variants. You can pick it up in the world using a salvage tool (wrench, ratchet, impact driver) and you can also craft them in workbench as a Variant Helper. Unlocks at Electrician level 25 (Basic electricity). Powerable and you can pick them up inside your claim area by holding "E" or using a salvage tool.      
- Added the candie & food posters as a craftable Variant Helper. Craftable in workbench. Some players enjoy looking for the different posters in the world to complete their collection, other players prefer to be able to craft any of them without going out exploring, or may be frustrated because they cannot find a certain elusive poster (I am looking at you Goblin-O poster XD). Now you can choose.      
- Added the Cozy Electric Stove, for a warm and cozy home. It has fake burning wood inside but it is electric. It is powerable, you can turn it on and off, you can pick it up inside your claim area by holding "E". You can pick it up in the world using a salvage tool (wrench, ratchet, impact driver). If you cannot find it in the world don't worry, you can also craft it in the workbench.     

- You can now pick up bar stools in the world with a salvage tool (wrench, ratchet, impact driver) and get a variant helper. Back home you can choose what color you want to place. You can pick them up again using a salvage tool. You can also craft them in the workbench too.      

- Transformed the Screen Curtain Divider into a Variant Helper with 4 different colors, for even more fashionable home clinics. When you pick up a screen curtain divider you will get now the Variant Helper instead for a simple curtain item. If you have already placed screen curtains in your base you can get the new Variant Helper if you pick them up again.      

- Added the "Sectional Leather chair" and the "Sectional Plaid chair" as new alternative block shapes inside the "Sectional Leather couch Variant Helper" and the "Sectional Plaid couch Variant Helper". Those 2 were not craftable before and, while you can arrange a similar chair using 3 other shapes together, that makes it 3 blocks wide compared with 1 block.      

- Added 2 Classic Benches as a Variant Helper. You can pick up them using a Salvage tool (wrench, ratchet, impact driver) and get a Variant Helper, or craft it in the workbench. I think these ones goes really well together with the Classic Forged iron Street lamp for a nice exterior sitting area or a cozy garden :).        

- Added a Classic forged iron street lamp, powerable, craftable in the workbench, pickupable inside claim area by holding "E", you can turn it on and off by pressing "E". An elegant solution to illuminate your backyard or secret garden. This one is now my absolute favorite exterior light in the game, I hope you like it too!  🥰

 

             
I hope you enjoy the mod, and if you find issues or have suggestions let me know  💜

I just want to drop by to say that all my mods seem to be working without issues in the new b326 update, but please feel free to report any bugs or problems if you find any. Have a nice day and enjoy your game! 💜

[JudiiPunk]

Hello!

 

I just downloaded this mod and checking out all the lighting that works now! I love the "electric" wood burning stove. Are there any plans to make colored lighting by chance? Like the flood lights? I found a strange glow once in a building and I looked up and saw one of the long fluorescent lights in green! I later saw one with pink. They were hidden away for a "glow" I guess, but it looked super cool! Another idea I had was the recessed lighting. Since we have the ability to make grand fireplaces etc., wouldn't it be cool to add a recessed lighting that could be hidden in the fireplace and flicker orange to mimic fire. I have seen this in a house once and tore it apart to see what was making that flicker, and it was a recessed light that flickered orange 😃

 

Thanks for shinning some light in my game! I love the overall ambience of the "grey" world, but I love being able to hide out in comfort and illusions of broken-down buildings with a shinning fortress inside. 

 

Again, thanks for your hard work!

Thank you for your comment, you are very kind, and I am happy that you enjoy the mod 💜.

 

So far I have tried to keep the mod "Server side only friendly", and some features such as colored lights would require me to add additional code that would make the mod "Server + Client" for multiplayer.

But I am working in some extra features that I plan on adding as an optional add-on for people playing single player or multiplayer that are ok with server + client requirement for the mod, and colored lights is one of the planned features. I will keep the core of the mod server side only but I will add some optional features that would be impossible to add for "server side only" mods as an "add-on".

Thank you and I hope you keep enjoining the mod 🥰

UPDATE 1.0.8 ("Boxes are Boring" & "The Garage")

 

- It looks like a common picture but...wait, what is this!? A Secret Storage! Keep thieves away from your goodies with this all-in-one lockable secure storage behind your favorite picture. Craftable in workbench. Decorative and useful at the same time. This update took a lot of work but I am happy with the result and I hope you like it too.  

- Added some more nice decorative secure storage (but not so secret 😉), because boxes are boring 😋: Office shelf in several colors and variants, Gas Pump and Propane Tank in several colors to store all your fuel, resources, or whatever you want. All of them craftable in the workbench and lockable, with big storage capacity. 

- Added decorative vehicles, each of them in 9 different colors: Bicycle that you can hang on the wall, motorcycle, 4x4 and gyrocopter. They are new decorative blocks, not entities, so they do not cause problems in servers or get deleted on restarts. I think they look really cool anywhere, but specially to decorate a mechanic workshop or garage, or a nice urban apartment (bicycle). 

- Added a few more decorative items as pickupable, to decorate your garage or your own automotive repair shop: Tires as a Variant Helper so you can choose what variant to place, and a car motor. Yes, perhaps I have watched too much "Sons of Anarchy" lately, and this is what happens 😅. 

- Added a craftable Bunk Bed as a Variant Helper, with 2 different alternatives. Cheaper than the king size bed, and better suited for smaller rooms or barracks. It works as a bedroll.  

- Added some of the new items and blocks into "Decoration" and/or "Building" category to make it easier to find the recipe.

- Added more entries in the localization file.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope you like this update, I has been a lot of work but I hope you enjoy it 💜!

 

If you find issues or have suggestion let me know 😘!

[LordSoth01]

Oh these are looking great.
Missed the medical signs before, very nice additions!

[LittleRedSonja]

Since it is a highly requested feature, I have made an ADD-ON for the mod. This is an optional feature, and you need the main mod installed for this add-on to work. You can find the add-on in the nexus page (download links are in the first post). Extract the zip and place "LittleRedSonja_FancyHomeDeco_v1_NO_POWER_ADDON" inside your mods folder.

 

No Power ADD-ON for Fancy Home Deco mod:

 

- Makes all the lights included in the mod require 0 power. You still need to connect them to a power grid, but they will not consume any power at all.
- Makes the electric wire relay, the electric timer relay and the switches to not use power. 
- Removes the running and idle sounds from generator, battery bank and solar panel, for maximum chill cozy environment. 

 

The intention of the add-on is for people to decorate their bases with nice light features without worrying about power, and to mute the annoying sounds of generators, battery bank and solar panels. Connect your lights to the grid and never think about power again!

 

I hope you find the add-on useful, and if you have suggestions or find issues let me know 💜.

 

I will release a new update for the main mod probably next week, with nice new cozy decos for your home and base, so stay tuned 🥰.

Hi Sonja!

 

The craftable lights (powered table lamp, exit sign, etc) remained locked despite having the appropriate magazine series maxed out. Anything we're doing wrong?
