Life Update

Hey all!  Not a super fun update for ya today.  I've taken some time to think about my content creation and have some news.  My wife and I found out we are pregnant again, which we're super excited about.  As I've decided what needs to stay and what needs to go in my life to make that transition work smoothly, I've decided that I can't post content on here on a basis that you deserve.  Thank you to those who have supported me in the last couple of months.

Premium Chicken: Blue Favaucana

Please welcome the newest chicken to Crucible's chicken lineup!  This designer breed is known for its wonderful personality and colored eggs.  While we haven't started our custom egg process yet, this will be one of the first chickens to receive that update!

Hope you have a wonderful Friday, and thanks for being a Patron.

Tuesday Freebie "Love You to the Moon and Back Sign"

Here's a fun and simple sign!  Happy Tuesday:)

Tuesday Freebie: "4.5 stars, would poop here again"

Here's a fun one for you today.  Is it mature?  No...But it's posted in my office and I've seen it so many times I just had to recreate it in the game.  I like it as this big 'ol sign over the toilet, but feel free to shrink it down to match your décor better.

Friday freebie: Band Backdrops

Hey all! Happy Friday.  Have a nice lil freebie for you today.  These are four concert backdrops that can be found under decor.  Originally created for a venue I'm working on that is a warehouse that brings different bands in, and I want different backdrops for different bands.

September Newsletter

Hey Patrons! 

How's it going?  I hope your Sims universe is bringing you great joy, and I hope my contributions have helped with that.  It's time for the first monthly newsletter.  These newsletters will provide exclusive news on my creations as well as fun Sims content.  Want to see something in these newsletters?  Let me know!

First off, I want to announce the next stuff pack.  We've had good feedback on this month's stuff pack "Faith Stuff", a...

Faith Stuff Pack

It’s finally here!  The first Crucible Stuff pack has arrived!  This stuff pack adds something that Sims is lacking glaringly, which is the addition of church stuff.  So much of history is tied up with the church, so being able to play this out in your Sims world can add a new lens for your drama or livelihood!

This pack includes over 14 CC, including:

• A new career
• A Sims-to-Sims “blessing” friendly interaction
• 10+ new ...

August Recap

Hey Patrons,

As August is coming to a close I wanted to look back on the month we just had.  This month brought a lot of fun to Sims 4.  The biggest success I've ever had in CC creation was that of Chickens.  We released 9 Chicken Breeds (Rooster and Hen each, so a total of 18 new Chickens) this month.  We've gotten thousands of downloads on those chickens just in the last two weeks.

In August, Crucible's Workshop released 26 new CC ...

Chicken Breed Pack #2

After the resounding success of my Chicken Breed Pack #1, I immediately got to work on Chicken Breed #2.  It's hard work putting these packs out, but I feel like it's the least I can do with the amount of the support the community has shown me.  For that reason, I am so excited to bring you Chicken Breed Pack #2!

This pack contains four new chicken breeds with both the Rooster and Hen variant.  If you want a fifth chicken breed today, pick up my premium chicken breed, the...

Premium Chicken Breed: Braekel

Today is a fun day y'all.  It's the release of my first Premium Chicken Breed available to Workshop member Patrons only.  Let's talk about Premium Chicken Breeds for a moment.

Premium Chicken Breeds are chickens that have custom meshes as opposed to recolors.  But it doesn't end there.  Premium chickens will be the first to be updated with colored eggs, special interactions, and any number of other special traits or ideas that I can muster up for them.

This is ...

A Patron Exclusive Update about what's coming

Hey all,

I realize it's been a few days since I posted, which is something I will not be making a habit of doing, but I do have good reason for it.  I felt the need to update my Patrons on this, but the rest of the community can go a week or so without hearing from me and they'll be ok:)

I have got some big stuff for you guys coming up.  Usually I try to post a community request about once a week or so in the middle of the week which offsets my more personal, ...

Freebie: Chicken Breed Pack 1

I LOVE Cottage Living.  I was a bit bummed though when I saw the limited breeds of some of the animals.  Some other modders have begun with new breeds for cows (and I may join them at some point), but I haven't seen any mods for new chicken breeds yet. 

BEHOLD, Chicken Breed Pack 1.  This is a freebie (because I just cannot  stop giving away my best content).  This pack contains four new breeds of chicken, for a total of 8 new chickens (...

Freebie: Ringable Bell

Y'all, I have a problem.  See, I keep planning exclusive stuff, but then I get so excited I just release it for everybody and then add more to my Patron exclusive pack to make it up for them.

This is one of those days.  I bring you, "Ringable Bell".  It's a big 'ol bell, and it rings.  No animation as of now, but a big 'ol bell ringing sound when ya ring it.

This was inspired by a Patron request.

Make sure you put the mod and custom ...

Rustic Floating Shelf

Need some variety in your shelves?  Check out this Rustic Floating Shelf, which comes in a base and light wood variant.

Community Requests: Immortal Pet Trait

Happy weekend y'all! We're back with another community request.  This one comes from Sparkiekong from the Sims4Studio community. 

This mod adds a new trait for pets called "Immortal".  It's a pretty simple mod, it just keeps your pets from dying when they have this trait.  

Sneak Peak: What do you think this is?

Hey y'all!  Our Faith Pack is dropping this month, but you already knew that.  That is an exclusive pack for JUST out Patreons, but I have fantastic news.  The next pack coming out will be 100% accessible for everybody at launch.

Any guesses what it could be?

Freebie: Faith Stuff Preview Pack

Hey all.  Happy Sunday, I can't believe we're already a week into August.   Today I bring you three of my favorite objects from my Faith Stuff Pack coming later in the month.  Remember, that pack will  be exclusive to Patrons only.  

But this free pack today includes a pew, altar, and a pulpit which has a new "preach sermon" interaction.

Community Requests: Fillory & Further Books

Community Requests: Fillory & Further Books

It's a double-header in the Community Requests department. This one also comes from pandamaii on the Sims4Studio forum.  This is a part of my "Community Requests" series where I take requests from different sims communities and create them free of charge for everybody.  After all, we're all in this together, so let's get better at making CC together.

Community Requests: Magicians Time Key Tattoo

We're back with another community request.  This one comes from pandamaii on the Sims4Studio forum.  This is a part of my "Community Requests" series where I take requests from different sims communities and create them free of charge for everybody.  After all, we're all in this together, so let's get better at making CC together.

*This mod has IP that I do not own.  Please note that I will rarely will create work with others' IP, and that...

SNEAK PEAK: Faith Stuff Pack

Hey there, Sims Community!  Since this Patreon is new, I wanted to give some vision as to where we'll be going in the next month.  In August, you'll see the first exclusive Patron-only "Stuff Pack" by Crucible's Workshop.  This month we're dropping the Faith Stuff pack.

The Sims does a pretty poor job of including religions into their game, which is a bummer because it's a big part of many people's lives.  This pack will feature items from a few of t...

Community Requests: Comic Book Shelf

Part of my endeavor to create content is to make sure that I'm listening to the community and what y'all want to see in game.  So, in that spirit, I am beginning a new series called Community Requests.  These are requests that I am seeing in the Sims Community, and the content will be free to the public.  

Behold, the comic book shelf.  Ectosims on the sims4studio forum asked for some content for creating a comic book store, so here's a good start fo...

Hello world!

Hey everybody, I'm so excited to announce that my Patreon is live.  Beginning now, expect a plethora of exciting Sims Content coming from our direction.  I just want to take a moment to share my heart and vision with you.

I have a goal of creating a community of gamers and developers that help each other get better.  Because of this, I'm committed to making some awesome Sims content, and helping others learn how to do the same.  I want to better everybody'...
