Sims 4 - Cluedo weapons

Here's a set that has been made on request, I must say I immediately found the idea funny, and though I don't know yet how to proceed exactly, I know for sure that I'll play a Cluedo game with my Sims 4!
But even if my Sims 3 have no murder project, from what I know, I can still use many of these items as decors in my game, and I hope that you will as well! :)

Sims 3 - Trashes & Bonfires!!

While I was with bonfires, I also took that opportunityto convert two from Sims 4, because we have never too many of these, have we?

Sims 4 - Cribs, Changing tables & Playmats for Growing Together (updated the 5/6)

I've redone my cribs, changing tables and playmats to be functional for infants, from previous sets: the Tam-Tam bedroom, the Owl nursery and the Sweet Buddies one, but I've also added two new objects that I had done for Sims 3 some time ago: the Coastal nursery.
The cribs is base game compatible, but the changing tables and playmats require Growing Together.

Sims 3 - Sims 4 to 3 conversions: Growing Together

Here's a bunch of converted items from Growing Together:

1) clutter!!! It won't be a scoop if I tell you I'm fan of clutter, and I kinda like the one coming with that new Sims 4 expansion, so I'll be happy to use it in my Sims 3 game.
But, as usual, I rescaled some elements to have them smaller. I want tiny sculptures to decorate a bookshelf, for example, not for a museum! Also, I've added vertices to the pot in which there's a sailing teddy bear, because I can't stand how Sims 4...

Sims 4 - Updated bicycles for Growing Together patch

As the patch (or the EP, I never know who breaks what as I always install both at the same time) broke the bicycles, so I've updated them all! :)
Happy cycling, Simmies!

Sims 4 - Radiators

One day the house was rather cold for not being heated, I had cold just by watching my Sims homes without heaters!
So, here's a collection of wall radiators! :D
They work or as Snowy Escape heaters or as Seasons thermostats, download one version only.

Sims 4 - Stray life in the woods

Three new spots for your cats to enjoy the neighbor's garden or the park next door: a real tree cat (foliage doesn't change automatically with seasons, but there's variations to simulate them), a comfy bed of foliage, that can even please dogs, and a fallen log to be a bit hidden!  

Note that the animations can look weird for few seconds, the time the cats fnd their way! :D

Sims 4 - Messy Harbinger counters & cabinets

Yes, more mess! When I installed my new "mess in the kitchen" set to mess up the place, I saw it wasn'' enough with all those perfectly closed counters & cabinets... :D So, I made versions with open doors & drawers!
Use with Auto-counters off: the counters have only the main designs (against wall and not against wall) and there's four cabinets (2 high & 2 low) in the cabinet.
You'll also find empty versions of the cabinets in the Shelves categories, so you can fill them up w...

Sims 3 - Messy Harbinger counters + Updated Harbinger kitchen

Yes, more mess! When I installed my new "mess in the kitchen" set to mess up the place, I saw it wasn'' enough with all those perfectly closed counters & cabinets... :D
So, I made versions with open doors & drawers!
Note that the Sims 3 counters need to be similar objects to work as counters, if you take three different counters, they won't make an angle, but it would be ridiculous to have twice or more a counter with the same drawer open and the same stuff inside.... That's why...

Sims 4 - Cat window bed

A kind of "emergency update", when I realize all of sudden that I do need a specific object before being able to launch my game again! :D
And yes, this time, it was a cat bed that can be put on a window. The height is fixed (no up and down) but you can put whatever you want under, so it's perfect for small spaces! :)

And yes, this time, it was a cat bed that can be put on a window.
It can be put up and down, and you can put whatever you want under the bed BUT the cat will walk in the air to its bed, and yes, it looks silly, but I don't know how to make it different.

Sims 4 - Breakfast cereals

Yeah, breakfast again, you might think it's an obsession of mine.... But I was looking at the various cereal bowls our Simmies can have to start their day, and it kinda depressed me.... Most of the time, it's a bunch of dry cereals without a single drop of milk! :D
So, here's REALISTIC bowls of cereals, with cereals floating on milk!
You'll be able to grab them from fridge with next update of the Custom Food Interacti...

Sims 3 - Breakfast cereals (new snacks)

Yes, new food for your Sims, to grab directly from the fridge!
Six new cereals bowls (with an optional bowl replacement because I can't stand the default bowl anymore!)
You'll find also cereal boxes with new packages, smaller size and also cereal jar. Both can be used as food makers.

CC Loader is required for the recipes, as for all custom recipes.

Sims 3 - Raclette as recipe(s)

You can't even imagine how I was excited when I learnt to make new recipes for Sims 3! It meant my Sims could FINALLY eat a raclette!!
I had already released a deco version of that set, when I made the edible version for Sims 4, and I'm re-uploading it today as the raclette makers work now as Generic Food Maker and because I made a collection file.
But the most important is of course the recipe file! (It requires CCLoader as every custom recipes). You'll find a recipe with charcuterie a...

Sims 4 - Carnivorous plants

Fed up of buying flowers for Valentine's day? Your Sims are looking for an original gift? Don't search further! Here's a collection of carnivorous plants that you can plant in ground or in pots. The set includes 3 different pots (where you'll can plant something else), with a pebble or dirt filling. Don't worry, though, those plants are only decorative and won't hurt any insect!

(Note: EA made Sims 4 plants notoriously huge, these plants are quite small compared to EA flora, they're...
