Mod: Parchment Computer
Added 2023-11-10 13:00:06 +0000 UTC
Updated 8/21/25 for compatibility with recent expansions.
Sul sul! Here is a mod that adds a Parchment Computer to the game. Sims who use this computer will automatically write with quills, and it functions exactly like a normal computer. Sims can play games, write novels, or "Troll teh Forums", all without ever touching a mouse. It is functional off-the-grid, low poly, and Base Game Compatible. Best yet, your other modern computers will still work as designed! It can be found by searching for "Parchment Paper, Quill, and Ink".
Note: some interactions may still play audio clips, like the video games, because those are stored in the interactions rather than the animations. It also overrides one in-game resource: the Computer_Use ASM (015FCDB66C590203). I'm not aware of any other mods that override this resource, but it would be incompatible with any mod that overrides the computer animations.

Hi! I created a standalone version inspired by your mod, with a new mesh and textures (papyrus scroll with reed pen). It does not require your original file. I plan to release it for free with full credit and link to your original mod. Would that be okay with you?

2026-02-23 18:21:38 +0000 UTCDoes it work for the Education overhaul or would it still act like a computer?

2025-02-16 00:02:04 +0000 UTCUpdate - the issue seems to be that the computer is pre-loaded with a fuel-cell upgrade? That's what the LE flags.

2024-08-12 01:19:38 +0000 UTCEvery time I click on the parchment, MCCC catches an LE. I haven't done a test with just this computer, but I am wondering if anyone else is finding the same thing.

2023-11-13 18:32:01 +0000 UTCYou are absolutely amazing! I am so excited to use this in my game. I was really sick of having to hide a computer somewhere just in case it was needed. Now I can have an author sim again! <3
