Lot Build Objects - WIP Update

So I just finished with work for the week and I'm going to spend the rest of the day wrapping up the last couple of lot objects I need for this lot. Then tonight I'm going to put the finishing touches on the lot and get it uploaded in the morning if all goes well. I know I added a bunch of stuff last minute but I'm really excited about this lot as well as the other others we planned out for Willow Creek. The entire strip is going to be THE place to go shopping and get ready for a wedding or enga...

These objects are overrides and will replace the original object, see below for details.

Objects Included:

  • Flower Arranging Table Texture Override

Just finished wrapping these up! These are texture overrides for the vase options in game so when you chose a vase the new leaf variations will change along with it. I tried to keep...

Quarterly Mod - WIP Update

I got a little carried away with this but ultimately I'm really happy that I did. Originally I had made just a regular candle but once I put the recipe together and had my test sim craft them I felt it didn't add enough to the gameplay. It felt like, what's the point? I can buy candles if I want them and even if I added a special buff to the candle it didn't quite feel like it was worthwhile (at least for me) to craft them.

So I came up with the idea of candles that actually melt when you burn...

Quarterly Mod - WIP Discussion

This probably shouldn't have taken as long as it did but I tried to keep up some notes while I was making this mod so when a patch breaks something it's much quicker to fix next time. There also seem to still be issues with importing meshes for some stuff and it kept screwing up my objects while I was working on this.

I have some touch up stuff to do on the tuning but the foundation for the remainder of the recipes is complete. Making candles will follow this same format using these beeswax ba...

Monthly Object/Mod Set - WIP Update

As far as the candles are concerned, the idea of creating them on the Homestead Table itself was a bust. I tried for a whole day to get the animations to run with the tuning for the table but they just don't mix. I decided instead the candles will have to have a fridge component attached to them.

Since I really didn't want you to be able to make candles from the fridge (because it seems silly, doesn't it?) I decided to finally break down and mesh a Pantry. I need to re-do the items inside the ...

Flower Arrangement Overrides - WIP Update

Omg - it turned out so beautiful!!!

I separated all the flower/grass pieces while I was on the road a few days ago and just now threw them together. This is going to be FUN. 

I've been trying to edit the mesh to make the vase a little smaller but it won't take for some reason. If I can't get it to work at least each vase will have it's own unique variation. There will be so many possibilities!

Flower Arrangement Fridge

Required: EP01 & EP05 - Get to Work & Seasons

This fridge will allow you to display your flower arrangements and set them for sale while keeping them from wilting. You can use this display for anything, but know it will ONLY keep flower arrangements from wilting and will not preserve anything else.

This is not a container, it works similar to the fridge display and has slots to put objects on instead. If y...

Aromatherapy Candles - WIP Update

Here's the base I'm going to use for the aromatherapy candles. They'll all have different effects and be different colors. Also, I'm working on the code to make it so that they burn out completely. I'm trying to make it so that the candles made with better quality beeswax will burn/last longer than ones made with poorer quality beeswax. These will require some Herbalism skill because they'll use herbal ingredients and I'll be using some of the Herbalism animations as well.

I'm also working on ...

Floral Arrangement Fridge - WIP Update

It works!

I don't know how long it will take to wilt, but it's so long you should never see it if you're running a retail shop. 

I've got a couple more tweaks to make to the mesh and the footprint. If all works out well this will be available for Early Access tomorrow :D

Flower Displays - WIP Update

I could not for the LIFE of me get this corner piece right lol. I had turned it like 10 different ways trying to to get the cut right then realized I had one of the sides backward...smh...

Anyway...these look and function well. It's just 2 pieces but they're modular so you can do a bunch of things with them. I didn't bother with an inner corner piece because (as I learned from the modular planter I made for the Barn lot) Sims can't route to it. 

I'm going to adjust the UV map in a c...

Heads Up

I'm working on stuff here and there but I'll be uploading more stuff Monday and Tuesday when I get a chance to settle down for a bit longer at the hotel

If you're interested in why, it's because a couple of weeks ago I found my biological father and found out I have 3 sisters so I put together a quick road trip to go visit them. Life is short and we never know how much time we may have so I decided to just do it, work can wait a couple of weeks lol. It's also kinda cool because I'm visiting se...

August Lot - Poll

This month I don't think we're going to do a style poll because I'm going to build the style around the objects this time. I do need help deciding on what type of lot to create though...

If I do a Retail Lot, we could do the Florist/Candle shop I mentioned and add a couple of simple retail displays and probably a flower fridge.

If I do a Residential Lot, we could do a Florists/Crafters home, with a large tunnel greenhouse, and maybe a new craft table so ...

BeeBox Addons - WIP Update

I finally got the honeycomb done. It took a moment because I really wanted it to show a whole and half eaten state while your Sim is eating it but I kept referencing the geostates wrong lol. I figured it out finally, yay!

Now I need to make the buff and link it to the box itself. The comb is going to be a byproduct so you'll automatically get some when you collect honey - kinda like real life ;)

Need Object Effect Ideas! - Discussion

I'm going to be making aromatherapy candles that produce certain effects when sims are near and/or smell them (haven't decided which yet lol). Anyway, I was hoping you would have some suggestions for what you'l like to see in your game. Here's a quick idea of what I was thinking:

  • Energy Candle - Make Sim energized for a short time
  • Romance  Candle - Make Sim romantic as long as they're in vicinity
  • Concentrate Candle - Make Sim focused for a short time

Recipe & Ingredients - Poll

I need to decide the best way to make the candle recipe work and I've come up with two options:

Option 1:

Create a recipe for making beeswax with honeycomb as an ingredient. Sims could then use that beeswax as an ingredient to make candles.

Option 2:

Create a recipe for candles using honeycomb as an ingredient.

My Thoughts:

  • Although Option #1 is more realistic it does add an extra step that creates another ingredien...

These are an addition the the options available in GP05 - Parenthood that allow you to set the table with 'Basic Settings' - just white plates and silverware. You can see each option in the image above; Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch, Formal Lunch, Dinner, Formal Dinner, and (not shown) an Outdoor setting. They can be used and layered with the Table Clutter set HERE and the Ta...

Place Settings - WIP Update

I got in game to test these after I fixed them but then decided I needed to make a couple more adjustments and add a couple more things lol. 

I added some picnic table slots to the overrides set, a simpler outdoor place setting, and I added one more slot to the Dining Table overrides. It's done now. I just need to rotate the slots in the right positions and I should have them up for Early Access in the next couple hours :D

Table Clutter Download

Okay so here's the deal. Glassware is not included. I don't know why, but I can't get it to stop crashing my game so I'll need a little more time with that. I'll release it as it's own mini-set and I'll do some versions that actually have deco liquid in them too. 

Some of these files are new, but the majority of them use the same instance as before so a lot of this stuff won't need to be replaced...

Brainstorming July Object Set

So I'm thinking we do a set that revolves around the new flower arranging skill and beekeeping. I want this set to lead back into my Farmer's Market set now that everything is working properly in game. 

In August (because I'm waiting for S4S to update so I to properly fix my harvestables) I'll focus back on the Preserving Skill and the Homesteader aspiration we talked about. I don't think this set is going to come with any objects except for the pantry and dehydrator because it's a...
