Sims 3 - Odds & Ends: the Apple Store logo

Two small updates fulfilling your request today! :)

First, an illuminated logo for an Apple Store has been requested after I made all those Apple computers. I'm pretty sure some already existed, but I wanted mine to be in 3D and lighted, so here's one more! :)
I've added it to the Apple collection to make it easier to find in Buy mode.

Sims 3 - Parisian Bistro Chairs (Updated 10/27)

Five new chairs (two are actually remade from my very old bistro set), with many variations and with upturned versions for your closed bars!

EDIT 10/27: the two chairs remade from my old bistro set had that old rig bug, preventing Sims to sit correctly. I had used RigFix to fix that, but somehow, it hadn't worked. This time, its really fixed!

Back - Thank you!

I'm back home, thank you so much for your thoughts and condoleances for my mother's husband.


I had scheduled the Moroccan menu before leaving but I had forgotten to add a description, this should be done during the day!

Sims 4 - Moroccan menu

Still in my exploration of food for restaurants!
Today, I bring you three moroccan meals, all three being vegan because I didn't feel like drawing meat (I'm vegetarian. BUT all my menus won't be, I promise!)
You'll also find decorative versions of the plates, plus clutter, because we always need clutter, don't we? :)
The couscoussier works as picnic basket, if you want to take some plates with you (buyable from catalog).

Off for a week or so

Sadly, my mother's husband died, so I'll be off for few days, without computer, so I won't be able to answer your messages.
Take care, and thank you so much for being here! <3

Sims 4 - Computer speakers

Now that I gave my geeks the latest Apple computers, I found their desk was missing of speakers, and of course, I had to make few different ones to satisfy everybody! So you'll find some cheap speakers, more design and expensive ones, some for gamers, with animated lights...
They come in two versions: functional as stereos (without the visual effect!), and decorative, as you might not want your Sims to turn on each of your stereo speakers! ;)

Sims 3 - Apple computers & screens (collection added on 8/5)

On request again, here's a collection of Apple computers for your Sims.
The screens with keyboard & mouse are functional computers, the hard drives work as data storage, but you can use them as pure decor if you want.
The iMac comes with Apple colors, but it's recorable so you can make it more funky! :)


Edit: I first thought a collection wasn't needed but if you have tons of custom computers, or other Apple stuff, I finally came to conclusion ...

A tiny update on Greek menus

For Sims 3: On request, I've added a decorative version of the food plates. I've renamed the table set plates to match with the set, and I've added regular version of these decorative plates (I meant: some that you can place whereever you want, not table height)

You can download this set here.

These objects work as dressers when they're on floor, but if you put them on a surface, the Sims will complain and it won't work.
Dressers aren't used automatically so their function shouldn't bother you, but if it's the case, I'll recommand you to turn them into decor with the 2023-07-06 20:22:37 +0000 UTC View Post

Sims 4 - Greek menu (edited the 7/10)

On Tumblr, I've seen some of my favorite Simmers, both for Sims 3 and 4, playing with greek islands, and it made me want to make that set, with three new recipes for restaurant or fridge (but they can't be cooked; for now, I'm still quite bored at watching my Sims 4 cooking...), edible olive bowl and drinkable ouzo, plus clutter, because, well, you know I'd get lost without clutter!
Now, I feel like my Sims are going to spend time in Greece as well! ;D

WIP or surprises?

I'm always torn with posting WIPs because, personally, I like better being surprised (and it's even a habit or a tradition at home, to "hide" stuff for a "surprise", I rarely know what we'll have for dinner because my man keeps his menu project secret! :D)
Same goes for new expansions or stuff packs, I've never been much into the pre-release excitement, I like better see by myself when it's installed on my computer.
Buuuuuut what's your opinions about it? Shall I post more WIP?

Sims 4 - Turkish coffee mini-set

Just because I realized one of my Sims couldn't make her coffee without having a proper turkish coffee stove (is that the word?), here's that mini-set!
The animation is a bit borked though, because the pitcher drops into the stove for a second while dropping coffee to brew. The animation was even sillier with an espresso machine, so I made it as regular coffee machine.
