Sims 4 - Restaurant Walk-in fridge

Back to my project of serious restaurant kitchen (I'm not done with the request, don't worry!), with the walk-in fridge. As it's a key room in one of the series that made me want to have this in game, the Bear, you'll notice preserve cans while it might not really be the place to store those! ;)

There's two kinds of shelves: one works as fridge, one is just a shelf, so you can decide if you want the room to be functional or decorative.

Including:

There's shelves where you can store whatever you want, but also one working as a fridge (with a basket of lettuces and an empty basket, as fridges can't have slots in Sims 3!!!!), so you can really...

Sims 4 - Post Office

If your Sims need to send packages or love letters, that post office is the place to be!

It's been made on request again. :)
That one had first been requested long time ago, probably when a postal mod had been released ofr Sims 3; I had it on my to-do list, but as it happens too often, new projects came over and over and finally buried it. Thankfully, this has been requested again in my recent "what do you need for your Simmies", so here it is finally!

Sims 4 - Nap time

This time, the request was for a specific crib for daycare and a toddler bookcase.
So here you go! You'll find a security crib (with and without label, if you want to use it at home) for infants, a mattress where toddlers can have a nap (and hanging decorative ones for the preschool!), a cushion (based on a Sims 4 mesh) where toddlers can sit, the requested little bookcase and a rocking chair for the teacher or whoever! :)

Sims 3 - Nap Time

This time, the request was for a specific crib for daycare and a toddler bookcase.
It made me want to revamp the nap corner of my preschool, where kids could sleep on mattress for an informal nap, or in a crib for the "official nap". I've added a rocking chair for the teacher, and here we go for this mini set!

Arsil's napping mat is required for the little mattress.
The crib exists with ...

Sims 4 Fix - Vending Machines AGAIN

These poor vending machines! I have way too many versions of these, decorative, based on a fridge, based on Seasons, based on High School, recolors, no recolors... Some buggy, some outdated...
Time to clean up and start again from scratch!

So, these times, they're base game compatible, based on the vending machine that came with a free update. They exist in different colors (except the hot drinks one).
They will not replace the previous versions you can have, so if you have one o...

Sims 4 - AGA Stove

On request!
You asked for it: an AGA stove!
Big warning: I totally failed at making it animated. It took me two days for Sims 4, one day for Sims 3, of dizains, and dizains of attempts, but faile, fail, fail, the oven door was never where I wanted it to be so I purely removed the animation, but you can cook & bake.
Still, it looks pretty nice, it comes in plenty of colors and you can add it a functional heating part: heating, if you have Seasons, fireplace if you don't (install o...

Sims 4 - Tiny set: Power Sockets

On request!

Sims 4 - Restaurant Kitchen - Dishwashing

I enjoy those TV series occuring in a restaurant, like "The Bear" or "Boiling Point", and it's something I want to play in game. I have tons of kitchen stuff, but not so much for the dishwashing part of a restaurant, so here it it! :p
Dishwasher (not animated), sink, but also pots, matching with my previous cookware set.
The furniture exists in all clean, not so clean, very dirty.

Sims 4 - Fixed Furbies

My poor old Furbies had been broken by a patch and ended up by causing Better Exceptions errors! They're now fixed, and still work as smart speaker AND hand toy.

(Remember that Advent Calendar? It's been one of the funniest to make, I think, with "old" toys we had as kids!)

Suggestions - What are the things your Sims still need after all these years?

The Sims 4 is more than 10 years old now (I won't even mention Sims 3 age! ;)), and there's tons of CC makers and expansion/game/objects packs, so finding what you want for your Sims is probably easier and easier!
I'm still trying to offer you and your Sims things that you didn't even know you could need, but, after all these years, is there stuff you still don't find? Have you given up a project because you couldn't find the CC for it? Is there a building/shop/whatever you wanted for your...

Sims 4 - National Park objects

On request!
Let's start the year by taking our Simmies to a trip to a national park, or a natural park!
You'll find here various signs, like the level of danger of fire (with various levels of danger, of course), a buoy for lakes & ponds, a supply cache, signs informing and warning about animals (a lot of variations there! From bear to bunny, with yeti, elephant... You should be able to use this wherever your park is located!). There's also a panarama map, signs for pathwat, a bear...

Hello dear friends!

I'm quite bad with season greetings (I'm quite bad at communicating, aren't I?), but I wanted to thank you for your support, for your comments, for your likes, for your enthusiasm, for your patience, for being there and for being you! :))

Huge thank you, really. Some of you know this year hasn't been easy, and you really helped at making me going through. LOVE YOU ALL <3

I hope 2025 will bring you happiness, or/and anything you wish and lovely surpris...

Sims 4 - Computing

Pretty ironic to upload a "computing" update just while my laptop doesn't work anymore at all (I had troubles with it lately, full re-install and so on, but today seems to be its latest day... I'm sending this from a tablet so there might be typos...more than usual I mean!)

I made this set with hackers in mind (Mr Robot, for example), but I had added a BSOD variation to the deco screens, inspired by my very own computer misery.... WELL THOUGHT! :p

Anyway! You'll find a new compu...

Sims 4 - Bunny Doll

Yes, one more doll! I enjoy watching my little Sims playing with the baby dolls I made for them, but I love that bunny doll even more, so I had to share it with you! :)

Sims 4 Fix - Wall Laundry clothline

A patch made impossible to use my old laundry clothine (from this set).
It's fixed!

Sims 4 - Baby dolls

On request! Playable dolls that look like babies!
They probably require Parenthood as they're based on the Doctor playset, though there's no medical actions, only cuddle & talk to the doll.

Including:

• ATS4_object_babydoll_diaper.package

• ATS4_object_babydoll_dress.package

• ATS4_object_babydoll_onesie.package

Sims 3 - Baby dolls

I know I once made a baby doll for Sims 3, based on Sims 2 baby, but it was working as any hand toy. These new baby dolls are cloned from the teddy bear so can be cuddled! :)
You'll find three baby dolls, in diaper (bald), with a dress or onesie (with hair).

Including:

• ATS3_object_babydoll_diaper.sims3pack

• ATS3_object_babydoll_dress.sims3pack

• ATS3_object_babydoll_onesie.sims3pack

Sims 4 - More Birthday cakes

Still obsessed with the possibility for my Sims to have their very own birthday cakes! :D
For now, here's baby shoe cakes, made for twins, but it can also work for a baby shower, and a soccer cake made for a soccer fan, of course.

REQUIREMENT: Note that you'll need the Buyable cake mod.
My cake doen't appear in Ravasheen's list, but uses a bit of her code...

Sims 4 - Freezer Bunny Birthday Party

Having custom birthday cakes for my Sims party is really something I've been wanting forever, but I don't like the idea of baking them, because I wanted the kind of cakes you would buy (though, in RL, I'd never buy a birthday cake, I'll bake it myself... but that's also why I'll never have a freezer bunny birthday cake! sobs
So, when Ravasheen made her mod to buy birthday cakes, I knew I would do some! So, more birthday cakes to come, but to start with: the freezer bunny birthday ...

Sims 3 - Freezer Bunny Birthday Party

I needed a Freezer Bunny birthday cake for Sims 4, but I'm so happy to have made it that I want custom birthday cakes for all the coming birthdays in my Sims 3 game!
So, that's a custom cake that you can buy in the Buy Catalog/Entertainment/Parties. You'll find also a drink, a remake of the EA Store bunny balloon (the texture was a bit crappy, wasn't it?), a small bunny hand toy, and last, a string, coming directly from a Sims 4 bar.
Happy birthday to all Freezer Bunny fans! :D

Sims 4 - Quarter coin vending machine

When I released my Toys vending machines, I've been requested to make a quarter coin type, and it's indeed something I could use too in my games! :)

Same principle as the previous machines, except that you can also buy a candy from this one:
As the toys are often pretty expensive in game, you have to pay 50§ to get a random toy from the game; sometimes, it will be a great bargain, becau...
