September projects

Thanks for being there! Do you want to know if you'll be interested in what's coming for next month? The main thema will be Toddler food with:

- a baby-steamer generating toddler trays & plates

- a bottle-warmer generating drinks for toddlers (cups, bottles, pouches....)

- furniture: I finally managed to make a chair booster!!!! Yeh, I had said it was impossible but I found a way... It's a bit tricky to do, it requires a mod I'm working on, so far I'm still at the pr...

Sims 4 - Inauguration set

 As requested, here's a tiny set for inauguration! A new museum? A  private viewing? A new statue to celebrate a famous Sim? Here's some  ropes (cut & uncut), a podium for the speech, scissors on a cushion,  covered statue & painting. 

You'll also find a Champagne tray, allowing you to generate Champagne glasses.
I like the object and I'm thinking to create more like this (silver teapot & mint teas, for example, orange juice bottle & glasses ...

You might notice that the Sims 4 set includes a Champagne tray that you don't have, simply because you already have the Champagne bottle, you have the glasses, and with Arsil's Food Generator, you can have the Champagne bottle generating those glasses....

WIP - Toddler Food

Asha is testing (and tasting?) her simlish Gerber pouch, and she seems to enjoy it!

Funny (?) fact: in french, "gerber" is actually a slang word for "vomit", (the pronunciation is different, though. But still. )

Toddler Food - Poll about Buy Catalog

I'm working on September thema, "Toddler food", and I'd need your advice: there will be appliances being able to generate new toddler meals and drinks. Do you want to be able to get those items from the Buy catalog as well, so you can also give a drink to your toddlers on the ground? If so, it might clutter a bit your Misc Appliances section. I never know what I like the best myself... :D
(MunMun will add them to the Custom Food & Drink mods, so they will be also available from Fridge...

Suggestions - Room from a picture

That's something I haven't done for a while but that I enjoy doing: reproducing a room from a picture, ie meshing all (or some of...) objects of the picture. I had done that with all the IKEA collection that was directly inspired from the Ikea catalog pictures.

I often save pictures from the Nordroom as well.

So, if there's any picture you'd like suggesting me to redo in the Sims 3/4, please post links in the ...

Suggestions for... CAS Accessories

Obviously, you aren't here for my sense of fashion! Making objects is more my stuff, but I'm having fun at creating hair accessories, and maybe it will be fun to create other stuff too? So, if there's anything you'd like, tell me! I'll see if it's something I can do! :)

Sims 4 - Headband as hair accessory

A simple headband that will fit many hairdos thanks to the hat slider. It comes with the lovely patterns from City LIving plus plain colors.

Sims 3 - 4to3 Watches

I usually do my best to offer the same content for Sims 3 and Sims 4, but the headband I made for Sims 4 isn't interesting in Sims 3. I made it, but it's much harder to find a compatible hairdo with alpha hair, so I know I won't use it, and I'm not going to offer you something that I'm probably going to trash!
So... I converted Sims 4 watches. 3 for men, 2 for women, 1 for kids, fully recolorable and made for left & right hands!

WIP - Toddler food

Here's a preview of the September thema (toddler food).
There's a baby steamer that generates toddler meals (Sims don't really cook them, the tray appears just near the appliance).
I'd like to be able to make those trays eatable by toddlers in Sims 3 (they are in Sims 4, of course), but making custom food for Sims 3 is way more difficult than for Sims 4, plus I've never seen any toddler custom food for Sims 3, so it might be really challenging. Not sure I'll succeed!

The plan is ...

Sims 4 - Functional Vending Machines

I DID IT! When one of you requested functional vending machines, I thought "wow, I will never be able to make it!!", but I did! Aahha, I'm so proud of it, and it opens the door to many other modded objects now that I can do that! :))

So, thank you for the request, you pushed me out of my comfort zone! ;)

These vending machines have 3 different menus, with new snacks (like bananas).

Sims 3 - Sims 4 to 3 Nifty Knitting

Here's the objects I liked in Nifty Knitting, and that I'll be happy to have in Sims 3. I haven't converted more furniture for the same reasons as usual: I tend to find them too blocky for Sims 3, but if you'd like more, please tell me in the comments! :)

Sims 4 - Dungeons & Dragons gameboard

 As requested by a Patreon, here's a Dungeons & Dragons gameboard for Sims 4!

• ATS4_object_gameboard_dungeonsdragons.package

 Coming next week: Functional vending machines for CC Lovers & CC Hoarders 

Sims 3 - Dungeons & Dragons gameboard

As a Patreon requested a Dungeons & Dragons gameboard for Sims 4, I made a remake of my "role playing" gameboard. It's cloned from the Dominoes and requires Showtimes (the domino racks show at first, despite of my effort to elimate them, but you can easily delete them with moveobjects).

Coming next week: 18 objects converted from Nifty Knitting for CC Lovers & CC Hoarders

Toddler food - Open to suggestions

It will be September main thema, it was supposed to be a tiny update, but my to-do list keeps getting longer... will you help at making it even longer? ;)
So, if you have any wishes related to  (furniture & clutter related to food toddler, food toddler... I plan to made a bib but I don't know how it will go; clothes are out of my comfort zone!), please tell me in the comments below! :)

Sims 4 - Into the wild

 A tiny set for wild life, with a leaf tent (coming with 3 different types of foliage, so you can adapt it to the climate), a fire camp (in wood or bamboo/green material), a waterfall and a couple of stones (both in 5 variations of stones, so you can use them in different worlds)  that will work as a shower. Why just few stones? Because you'll be able to use them with other waterfalls if you want, you're free! ;)
The waterfall comes into two objects: purely decorative or working...

August Projects

First, thanks a lot for being there! I hope you don't regret your support! :)

Maybe you'd like to know if it's worth to patreon me for a second month? Here's the things I'm 100% sure of uploading in August:

- "Into the wild", a tiny set that should be ready for the week-end

- Functional vending machines for Sims 4! My prototype works (so proud of me! *lol*), it will still demand some time because I need to make lots of recipes, but it will work for sure! As my modding skill...

Sims 3 - Cardboard doll house (sims4to3)

 As I'm new to Patreon, I'm not sure how it works: for the ones who have a month only access, when do you lose it? On your 31st at midnight? At mine (GMT+1)? It seemed more prudent to upload the last item of July today (the 30th) to let you the time to grab it! :) 

No rocking-chair for you, Sims 3 players, as you have already the Truebridge rocking-chair (that you can download here 2020-07-30 13:51:26 +0000 UTC View Post

Sims 4 - Rocking chairs (Nifty Knitting) - UPDATED

As I'm new to Patreon, I'm not sure how it works: for the ones who have a month only access, when do you lose it? On your 31st at midnight? At mine (GMT+1)? It seemed more prudent to upload the last item of July today (the 30th) to let you the time to grab it! :)

I remade two of my chairs into rocking chairs, requiring Nifty Knitting.

The first one, inspired by David Truebridge, has always intented to be a rocking chair (and it is for 2020-07-30 13:43:41 +0000 UTC View Post

Sims 4 - Edible snack: Churros!

 Last add-on of my Beach Activities thema: something to eat, because it's indeed a possible beach activity, right? Churros are the snacks I associate the more with beach, so my Sims needed to be able to some!

Last add-on of my Beach Activities thema: something to eat, because it's indeed a possible beach activity, right? Churros are the snacks I associate the more with beach, so my Sims needed to be able to some!

It requires Arsil's bag of chips to work properly.

Sims 4 - Animated Pinwheel

Finally! I really wanted an animated pinwheel for my games, for beaches, for gardens. But, pfew, getting the animation right was nor easy for Sims 3 nor for Sims 4, but I finally got it!

You'll find the pinwheel with a display for the beach shop.

What's next?

Help me to decide on which small project I shall work next week, you came with awesome ideas, and I don't know by what beginning! (Don't worry, I don"t give up bigger projects like sewing room or such)

Sims 4 - Beach cabins

On request! :)
As I wasn't fan of the open toilet stall in the Sims 4 (thankfully, the door is almost closed in Sims 3! ;)), I made a decorative closed door cabin. Then, I've added one as surface, just to clutter it, and one as dresser, so Sims can  change of outfits there.

Your suggestions for... anything you'd like!

I won't guarantee I'll make everything you request (a life wouldn't be enough! :D), but I'll sure read it with interest. I usually have too many ideas myself, and a long list of to-do, but it can happen you'd like to see something that is already on my to-do list, then, your request will push it right at the top of the list!
Also, I'm sure you have ideas I would have never thought about, ideas I would have liked to have, actually, so... don't be shy, tell me all what your Sims, your citie...
