Which Roof Trim?

I have to make them in TSR Workshop which is way more difficult to use so I'm only going to make one to match with the greenhouse roofs. Which one do you like better?

Roof Trim #1 - Stepped

Roof Trim #2 - Chamfer

Tablescape Stuff

Here's the candles in 3 sizes, overrides for the seasons tile-able table leaf decor so they sit in small slots too, and the table slot overrides for each table size. :) 

I didn't make slot overrides for bar tables this time as they don't seem formal enough to me to have a place setting at. If you'd like them done though, let me know and I can throw them together real quick.

I fixed the code for the place settings so I'm testing them out later today and I have a couple more glass mes...

Separated Stuff from Seasons

Hey everyone! Instead of separating everything from the pack I'm just going to start taking requests from you. I've noticed a lot of times I'll separate everything but only certain groups of stuff actually get downloaded a lot, and others hardly at all. To avoid wasting time on stuff people might not use, I'll let you all decide ;).

I'll always plan to separate beds and I should be able to separate pretty much anything, but if I can't I'll let you know. If I don't get a lot of requests, I'd be...

Greenhouse Roofs

I'm recoloring these to match the greenhouse stuff - they look pretty good! The trim is awful though...I might have to figure out how to recolor that too. I'm going to remap the windows real quick then finish recoloring the roofs and this is done.

Oh, except one more thing if I can get it to work. I'm going to try to throw it together tonight and see what happens. I don't want to say anything yet though in case it falls through, but fingers crossed!

Tablescaping Candles WIP

I made these yesterday, I figured they'd be a good supplement to the table clutter & place setting set that I can finally get back to today now that the game has updated. I made them to match the original colors of my table clutter set, like 26 colors in all. 

I need to smooth a couple of edges and then I'll have them available for download for Co-creators later today!

Deco Column Set - WIP Update

I made these when I was trying to find something productive to do until the game updated. I didn't want the stone from the original on this build, I want it more rustic instead of cabin so I made a deco column, which turned into several variations, and them some deco beams and like 4 sizes to use instead.

These worked out better than I anticipated. They actually cover the trim and fill out the wall nicely where you can see that ugly gray split between floors. You can even use them where you ca...

Update - Harvestables

It looks like there's an issue with S4S importing new meshes for the harvestable plants so I won't be able to update most of my harvestables until that happens. I think I'll wait til they figure it out to work on any of them actually. I'd hate to clone meshes and then realize later they're missing a component or something because of whatever is causing the issue. 

Good news as far as harvestables go, I figured out almost all the new additions EA has made and what they do so when I go in t...

Ok, please tell me...

Are you guys having any other issues with my CC besides the harvestables? Have you tried my updated mods, how are they working?

I need some feedback. I keep trying to edit/update stuff and it's really starting to annoy the hell out of me that my game keeps crashing. I know that there are issues with the game itself, but it's so sporadic I honestly can't tell if it's the game or my stuff. 

I went in to decorate a little before torturing myself some more trying to fix CC and I crashed...

Table Settings

Out of all the glassware I updated, that short tumbler you see on the table is the only one that didn't make my game crash every time I opened the catalog. After like 2 hours I figured out how to make a new clone that won't cause a crash, but now I'm super frustrated and tired and ready for bed lol.  Also, these were the only two place settings that didn't cause my game to lag really bad, I'm pretty sure I need to update the menu tuning and maybe put them all under one menu. 

You can...

Season Colors

It took me all frickin day but I found out where the color overlays on the plants are coming from and how to change them. I still don't know where the instructions are or how and when they get applied, but it's a start! It sucks when you just get the hang of something and have to go back and relearn it :P

Honestly, it bugs me that the strawberry plants refuse to turn green until the day before spring is over. Also, I feel like if the plant is giving fruit there should be leaves on it and not j...

Harvestables - Discussion

I'm going to release them as Early Access/Pre-Release to Patrons in an attempt to test them before releasing them. If you have any input/suggestions for any of the old harvestables, please leave it below and I'll try to incorporate what I can into the new files!

Update on Harvestables

After comparing my harvestables to the way the new ones work I've decided to just remake them. There are multiple components that mine are missing and I want them to function the same way as all the others, along with the seasons as well as in different health states. 

Go ahead and remove all of the old ones from your game until I can get them updated, thanks!

Updated for Patch

Please re-download!

Soooo....

I thought I was doing something pro-active by waiting to upload everything I had made until I updated the game to make sure they worked but I guess they changed so many things S4S won't let me do anything. Sorry guys, I'll get stuff uploaded as soon as it updates and I can fix it.

It looks like all the harvestables need to be completely re-made. There are A LOT of new components they added that I don't even know if I can add to the old files.

I'm SUPER stoked though that you can sell har...

Seasons WIP Projects

Now that I've got a better idea of how things function in Seasons I've updated my list of projects:

Florist Table

• Remesh vases (I HATE the shape of those vases)
• Make sure recipes are nearly free to make with ingredients

Bee Box

• Add chance to get honeycomb with honey
• Add Honeycomb recipes (Cranberry Arugala Honeycomb Salad, Honeycomb on Toast/Biscuit/Scone, Honeycomb Cake)

New Plants with Abilities

Hello All!

If you are a father, or have a father in your life, I hope you have a great day celebrating today. I'm treating my hubby to a day in one of his favorite places Kansas City, then to a concert from one of our favorite bands Everclear! :D

I also wanted to check in and let you all know I've got some pretty neat things coming, I'll be posting a list at some point today. I finished the majority of the tuning so I'll get the table settings and table slot overrides posted tomorrow night. Being a Game ...

Old Brindleton Barn - Lot Discussion

It's turning out well I think. The interior is not the same as the voting pic, there's just not enough stuff in game to fill out the lot so instead I went with a rustic farmhouse look. I'm also going to add a garden area as well as a small fire pit area.

Also, here's some of the stuff I want to make for this lot still; priority stuff is marked with an asterisk:

• Barn Doors - All wall heights*
• Screen Windows & Door*
• Short Brick Corner piece to match Peace's arch...

All PITA Windows Done ;)

These are all the versions I've made so far. I may go back later and make some single doors and different heights for the door with the window on top but for now on to table decor!

Greenhouse Windows & Doors

Updated - 07/01/18

• fixed mapping so ice texture doesn't stretch
• changed file names so it's easier to tell which is which

Tidy the files up a bit was an understatement...I ended up having to remake them because there was an issue with the original clone so you'll need to delete any old versions you have and replace them with these. 

Windows and doors are so finicky, if you import s...

Windows

Almost done! I just need to tidy up the files a bit and match those colors a bit better. I've got all three heights for windows, but I only made 2 wall heights for doors. Sorry, the door at the 5 tile height looked ridiculous lol.

Short Windows - WIP Discussion

Are done!

I'm a little upset I just noticed the door colors are slightly off, I'll have to fix those. These were a PAIN let me tell you. I think I've got it figured out now though, hopefully the 2nd height goes a bit easier.

I'm thinking about recoloring that fencing if I have time, not a priority but I think it would look really nice with this set. I also found a file of recolored columns like you see in the pic above so you should be able to fill this out nicely.

Do you all think...

Custom Harvestables

Since it looks like all the harvestables need to be re-made, I'm adding these to the list.

• Heirloom Pumkins in 3 colors
• Corn in 3 colors
• Spaghetti Squash
• Butternut Squash

I'll change the other pumpkins to 'Carving Pumpkins' and make it so they can be used with the ...

Original Colors

Do you guys want 1st, 2nd, and 3rd wall height versions of these colors? I originally wasn't going to make them because I don't think I'll use them, but I thought I'd see what everyone else wants. 

It would add a little bit of time to the project, but not much since I'll be using the same meshes I made for my metal versions.

Original Height Doors & Windows

So these are going to be the base for the multi-height windows I'm trying to have ready this weekend. I made them in the original colors as well as my Metals. Both types have a scroll-less version and I've included a fix for the glass in the doors as well. The normals were backward so the glass on the top looked weird from one side.

Make sure you add the texture file for the versions you'd like to install. Let me know if you have any issues :)

If you installed the Classy Glass and Le Mag...

Ornate Wooden Balcony Add-ons

 Requires: GP06 - Jungle Adventure

To keep the files small these rely on another object for their textures, see info below.

Objects included:

• Ornate Wooden Balcony - override - Added Slots
• Ornate Wooden Balcony Double

I added some more slots to the regular sized one and made a double version. I like to use these outside of an arch on the second story to make it look like a one-piece window.

Industrial Pantry Storage

 Requires: GP03 - Dine Out

To keep the files small, these rely on the original in-game object for their textures . They are searchable by ‘BrazenLotus’ in the catalog.

Objects included:

• Industrial Pantry Storage - 9 containers

These are new files and rely on the original object for their textures. Please delete the old ones and replace them with these. Please know you’ll have to replace these on any lots where you used the old...
