This is not a real update, but as it's been something that has been requested, I upload them here in case it can be useful to anyone else! :)

Sims 4 - Just a stool & tray as counter

I wonder why I haven't made this earlier! I've been bothered forever by the necessity to have a counter to install a coffee machine (why there would be a counter in the teacher room of a school?) I'm playing with several tiny houses where I find weird to have a counter... and last, I don't have any counter in my very own kitchen, and the other day, while I was cutting stuff on the tray put on a bar stool to be counter-height, I thought "I NEED THIS IN GAME!" So, here it is!

Sims 4 - Soccer Kids

It's something I needed more for Sims 3 (toddlers can play soccer) than for Sims 4, but  you know I don't want my Sims to be jealous of each others, so everyone gets a soccer set!

If you have Simmies into soccer, they might want to offer their kids a soccer field as dollhouse, instead of the traditional castle for princesses! ;)
You'll find also a small goal (deco) for your gardens or playgrounds, and outfits! Matching T-shirts, shorts and socks both for kids and toddlers.

Sims 3 - Soccer Kids

I have absolutely no interest in soccer, but it's not the case of all my Sims. A couple of them are really into that, and one is trying hard to give that passion to his toddler girl, so of course, instead of buying her a princess castle for dollhouse, he needed a soccer field instead!
Plus, you might already use it, but TheSweetSimmer created a mod to let toddlers play soccer! So o...

More fruit & vegetable displays?

As explained in my download post, those fresh produces displays are typical from what you can find in France, but there might be other produces that are missing terribly to recreate your local market, if so, please tell me in the comments.
I can already tell you that chinese fruit & vegetable displays, suggested by a friend, are one their ways! :)

Sims 4 - Fruit & vegetable displays (Updated again... )

I've wanted to make fresh produce displays for years, but I've always been afraid of the amount of vertices it would imply... But I finally adopted a mix between real meshes and normal maps that make the result very acceptable in term of vertex. I made 6 different displays with produces we can find in France, and, caution, I labelled them as we would in France (you can't have missed it: I'm french!), but I know that what I call "exotic fruits" can be your very casual fruits, what I call "summ...

Sims 4 - Garden Edging (now also blocking the way)

There's always this time of the year where I need to make stuff for Sims gardens! :D Here's a collection of garden edging in10 different styles, with each time a straight, a round and a diagonal edging so you can set them up like you want. These are not fence, and for now, they don't block the path (in other words: they don't prevent Sims from walking in what's behind the edging) because they're so low that I thought it was a bit weird to make them block the way,  as if dogs are going to...

Sims 4 - May broken & updated objects

Broken that would need an update:
- Solar LEDs

Doh, sometimes, I hate Sims 4! Its errors are even more erratic than they are in Sims 3, and it can really drive me crazy.
Latest example: the solar LEDs. I used them in my game, and they were slowly changing of colors at night, it looked cool. I loaded my game today, they weren't working anymore.
I re-exported them from TSRW, they worked; I changed a tag in S4S, they didn't work.

Sims 4 - Le Buffet Mado, iconic french sideboard

That's the thing when you follow a french creator: you might end up with very frenchie stuff that you hadn't never heard about before! :D As I've been meshing objects for kitchens, it makes me want to draw an iconic piece of furniture: le buffet Mado, a sideboard that has been created in the 30's and that has been very popular in France in the 40-50's. It's now still quite popular on second hand market, with often new designs that make it very contemporary.

"Account compromised” - Google false warning

You’ve been a couple at getting mails from Google warning you that your  accounts on Around the Sims 3 or Around the Sims 4 have been  compromised.
It’s actually a wrong alert: Google “sees” that  your username and your password are also used by other persons, not just  by you, but it’s actually normal, because indeed, everyone has the same  username and password, so no worries. These passwords and usernames are  only linked to ATS3 ...

Sims 4 - Cookware appliance

You asked for them, here are they! :)
You'll find here an air fryer (functional with MunMun's air fryer), coming in 3 classic colors but also in a much fancier one I found on the net! I made a decorative version too because the functional one requires to be put on a counter; the deco can be put everywhere you want.
There's also pressure cooker, crockpot, thermo...

Sims 4 - Updated objects in April (Toaster added the 29th)

I'm not sure how visible are my updated posts on Patreon, so I thought I'd better make a post about them!

APRIL 28
-----------

The Bottle warmer has been updated; it's now based on a vending machine and not on a fridge anymore, so you shouldn't have troubles with spoiling food or whatever.

Sims 4 - Garden Solar LED

A tiny garden related update before going back to cookware, following your suggestions!  I don't know how these garden lights are popular in the rest of the world, or even in the rest of France, but where I live almost every house (except mine, actually! :p) has those solar LEDs changing of colors at night, and I wanted them for Sims too! And yes, they are changing of colors at night in game, and of course, as they're solar lamp, they work out of the grid.

More cookware?

Ahaha, you must get used to my poll "More or stop" kind! :D
I'm not completely sure of their use actually, because I think people who vote are the ones who are the most interested in the project, but anyway, here's the question!

Do you want more cookware or kitchen related clutter? If you vote yes, please specify what you'd need in the comments.

I remember someone once asked for a bamboo steamer, for example, so it's on my list (if you vote fo...

Sims 3 - Wedding cakes & toppers (sims4to3)

Sims 3 players, you're luckier than Sims 4 ones! It's much easier to convert Sims 4 cakes to Sims 3 than to remake my Sims 4 cake for My Wedding stories!
So, you get plenty of wedding cakes, with loads of toppers as well!
Cakes are functional AS WEDDING CAKES, it means they can only be eaten at a wedding, with newly weds. All the cakes use the same cake part as the original wedding cake and there's no different states.
Oh, there's one cake I haven't converted because I really dislike...
