WIP#30

Hey everyone!

I was a little busy so couldn't update you earlier but here's the new wip picture. No in-game screenshot this time. Let me tell you how my week went.

I made a crib last week which you can see (and also the rug). Then I wanted to make some kind of baldachin above the crib and after a long time of researching and trial and error I've come up with the one on the left. I was working on the high poly model for a whole day, I think because there was always something I didn't like. I convinced myself this would look good once I put it in game so I did the low poly model, added a basic texture to test it out. Only problem was that I wanted some parts of the curtains/baldachin transparent and for the life of me couldn't figure it out to work properly. Once it was okay and transparent but not exactly how I would have liked it so I tweaked the settings and it wasn't working anymore, also it looked really bad. I didn't like it at all. It was too "curtainy" for lack of a better word. Then I spent some days hating everything I did so far. :D Just the usual.

That's why today I started fresh and tried to bring to life what I see in my head when I think of this nursery. I had some set backs but once I settled with the arch with the drapes I started liking the direction this was going in.

A little bad news, I'm not sure the windows can be included in this set because I only made one and I still need to make some size variations and also I want to make clutter, changing table, the thing you see on the picture, that playmat thingy and those are a lot of items. :D If I have the time I'll finish the windows but if not they'll come in the next part.

Thanks for reading my long complaining, I feel a lot better! I hope I can pull together my ideas and complete this without pulling my hair out!

Congrats on your twins! Hope you'll like the final result. :)

This set is going to be fantastic! Also, I have twins in the next few weeks, so I absolutely love nursery inspirations right now. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much! I'm trying to be realistic and see the things I'm good at next to the bad ones. Sometimes it's harder because I start to compare myself to others and that's when I have to remind myself that the only person who I need to compare myself is I am.

Thank you! I got a lot to learn and I'm still a small creator but I would be so happy if I had the opportunity some day to work on a kit.

Valentina Horváth

It is sheer (and opaque) mayhem, really!

Sim Siili

This is already looking amazing! I'm excited to see the final product. I hope The Sims ends up working with you on a creator kit.

Allison Mayo

Just look at it! :D Curtains everywhere.

Valentina Horváth

Oh things being too curtainy is the worst! :P

Sim Siili

Thank you! The windows are still happening they just be in the next set. I really want to finish them to complete the cabin theme.

Valentina Horváth

This is amazing alone as it is even if you scrapped the rest like windows.

Leavemealone

you totally can! you’re very talented and i look forward to your WIP’s and sets. they’re my favorite to use in game! thank you for what you do 💜

Elle

Thank you! I'm so happy you like it. I want to fill up the shelves and add details to the wardrobe, put clutter in the crib. In my mind it will have a lot of personality, I hope I can translate that into 3d models.

Valentina Horváth

Thank you! I'm trying to find a balance, maybe they'll fit in the next set better.

Valentina Horváth

Thank you so much! I hope with the added clutter it'll look way better and cute.

Valentina Horváth

Thank you! It's hard to say goodbye something which you worked hard on but I agree. But the window I liked so I'll definitely finish them.

Valentina Horváth

Thank you for your encouragement. I always want my sets to include bigger objects and some clutters as well to give the room personality. Sometimes there are so many ideas I want to make and feel excited about but not enough time to make every one of them. I am learning manage this and I think I would be fine except my self-doubt enters the picture and messes everything up. I know failure is part of the process and I learn something new every day but sometimes it gets hard. I really want to make the best I can! Honestly your comments mean everything to me! I started creating cc to have fun and to be able to give other people something, it gives me so much joy to see someone use my cc. So every comment and feedback I highly appreciate.

Valentina Horváth

this is amazing!!!! this is everything i’ve ever wanted for a nursery and you nailed it! can’t wait to see the finished goodies!

Elle

My mouth dropped when I saw the photo. I’m super excited! Don’t over stress over the windows. We will love whatever you end up giving us🤍

Tay

I am so FREAKING excited. This is absolutely lovely. Please take all the time you need!

EXACTLY what was said above... We LOVE your sets... but if you feel it's not working; etc. then leave it out. xoxo

Leave the windows out of this set if necessary. Never feel like you have to cram as many items as possible in a set. I'm saying/writing this because many of the creators I follow make smaller sets in a themed series. And there's nothing saying that a set has to be a certain amount of items. So just relax, divide up your cc in smaller sets that you release when YOU are happy with the result. We will gladly accept this!
