Sims 3 - Quarter Coin Vending Machine

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

This time, I cloned it from the EA Store Gumball machine, so it allows your Sims to get a chewing-gum, but you can easily turn it to a Toy vending mach...

Sims 4 - Infants & Toddlers Walkers

You might remember I had made my Sims 3 walkers for Sims 4 when we finally had toddlers in game, but they were purely decorative, which annoyed me.
We still don't have real walkers allowing our youngest Simmies to walk with these, but at least, toddlers and infants, if they have reached the "Sit up" milestone, can use them as seat.
I've also updated a toddler cart made for an Advent Calendar so it can now really be used by infants, if they have reached the "pull to stand" milestone.

Sims 3 - GTW Police Station add-ons (Sims 4 to 3)

Almost 10 years ago now (I can't believe it's been so long?!!), I had converted some police station objects of the Get to Work expansion pack, to use in my game. Selfishly, I had converted what I needed and planned to use, but not so long ago, a Patreon asked me if I could convert some of the objects I had ignored (except the building items, as we have CycloneSue's prison items), so here are they! Better late than never?

I've added these objects to the previous Police Station collectio...

Sims 4 - (Random) toy vending machines

Two versions for this object: a claw machine converted from Sims 3, and another object, coming directly from my childhood, "la machine à tirettes", a vending machine with small drawers, that we used to call just "la tirette". It was part of all fairs. For a small amount of money, you could get a random toy, a cheap watch, a ball... and there was always a very special toy in the display that you wanted so hard without being able to get it... :D
I like finding those "old stuff" in my game, ...

Sims 3 - Toy vending machine

Welcome to my childhood memories with "La machine à tirettes" (a vending machine with small drawers), aka "la tirette". It was part of all the fairs! For a small amount of money, you could get a random toy, a cheap watch, a ball... and there was always a very special toy in the display that you wanted so hard without being able to get it... :D
I like finding those "old stuff" in my game, entertaining my Sims, so I had to make one for game. It's funnier in Sims 4 because you get a random ...

Sims 3 - Bike Repair (Updated 10/27)

I'm building a repair cafe specialized in bikes in my eco-district, so of course, I needed clutter and bigger stuff for the workshop!

Sims 4 - Bikes (functional & decorative)

Bikes all way long, baby!
Cars aren't allowed in my university Sims 3 town, so we needed more types of bikes, plus I hadn't made yet a sharing bike service in my Sims 4 towns, so it's now done!

First, the very classic dutch bike, black, but with different tires, including the very dutch "blue tire" option, indication of a bike supcription service.

Sims 3 - Bikes (functional, decorative & CAW)

Bikes all way long, baby!
Cars aren't allowed in my university Sims town, so we needed more types of bikes!

First, the very classic dutch bike, with tires that can be recolored separately to let you the "blue tire" option, but it can be whatever color you want. (Have I been to Amsterdam recently? Yep! And these blue tires, indication of a bike supcription service, caught my eyes!)
I made those bikes are decors as well: on their kickstand and leaning, recolorable, but also for CAW...

Sims 4 - Plant (hard) life

All of sudden, I realize that I have no spilled pot for my Sim living with cats.... Where is the realism then?!!!
So, I had to fix that with spilled or broken pots, but also with dead plants, because cats aren't always the ones to blame.... I've also added a couple of plant care items because I wanted a glass sprinkler.... :))

Sims 3 - 4to3 Cozy Bistro (edited the 10/6)

I couldn't ignore a bistro pack, right?
I converted all the objects pack (25), including some that don't really show on picture, like double door, double open door, sign, panel...

Also, I made matching islands to be used with the bar.

EDIT OCTOBER 6

  • the awning had a wrong low mesh!

  • the empty rack bottle had still the shadow of the bottles on its texture, it's fixed, doh!!!!

Sims 4 - Cozy Bistro add-ons

You probably already know how much I love bistros, in game or in real life, so my joy was complete when I found out Cozy Bistro was an object pack (I stumbled on it quite recently, as life was too hectic when it's been released)

My first disappointment was for the dining booth: not only it was impossible to use it with a table, like with the Dining Out stuff pack, but it made Sims sitting right into two cushions? Seriously?!! So, I remade the booth in one part instead of three, and wor...

August poll

As I wrote in the Downloads posts, I have tons of ideas about stationery, but maybe you have already enough of this, so that's why I'm asking you your opinion on this! :)

When I made these mismatched but kawaii objects, I then thought I could make complete tiny sets about a theme (like Kitty, Jungle, Bunny, Pastel and all of them could have eraser, pen & pencils, notebook, pencil case...) A set of these wouldn't make an update for Patreon, it's the whole thing (the 4 themas) that wo...

Thank you so much for all your sweet messages and for your support, I always say that, but indeed, it means a lot to me!

With all the stress and exhaustion we've been through lately, the only thing I could do was coloring zen drawings, and... it made me want to make incense burners for my Simmies, because we all do need some zen and peace in our lives, right?

So, here's a little collection of incense burners and relative clutter!
