Hinterlands Living - Country-Style with 16 Items

This one-off set seems to be turning into a series, and I am not made about it. The style I came up with for Hinterlands Bedroom really speaks to me. It's classic by not fussy, and really works well in my more traditional homes without looking gaudy and cliche. So of course the design style suited a living room. It all started with the sectional which I promised I would make a patterned one of, and it just called out to be skirted, and just ended up working will with the theme of Hinterlands....

Violette Seating - Paranormal Inspired Mid-Century Seating

If you have followed me for a while, you know I have a soft spot for MCM-style furniture. I really loved the retro vibes of the sofas we got in the pack, but I wanted plain versions without pillows and a throw, as well as a choice without patterns. To me, it was just easier making a sofa with the same vibes then trying to patch together a new texture. So that is what I did. After going through a bit of a slump, I revisited and remapped these items to be on more appropriate-sized UV maps, chan...

Welcome to Sulani - World Makeover Part II

Time for part II of my Sulani makeover. Some of these builds you may recognise from my Island Living addon which I used to showcase those homes. They were shells then, but I am so happy I managed to furnish them because I was really happy with their aesthetic. You may also notice that the small Caldera build uses a lot of packs. That is the home I was playing from, so it tends to use more then everything else. I also decided to leave that one lot empty, because I felt a build would have been ...

An Update

I just wanted to update you all on the state of things over here. I have had some interesting times recently, and some life changes that I am still adapting to. Because of this, my hobby of creating CC has slowed temporarily as finding the motivation has been hard, even though I really love making content to relax. Because of that, what I share will be sporadic, probably until the end of the year. If i am unable to consistently make items, I want to try and work on my world makeovers that hav...

Welcome to Sulani - World Makeover Part I

I am working on some large projects right now, and don't have a backlog of smaller stuff to get out, so I thought I would catch up on my world makeovers (because there is always the odd person popping up and asking about them). Sulani is a big world, and because of that I had to break it into two parts. This world ranges from "lot edits" to custom builds as a lot had good bones, but needed some jazzing up. So here is the first part containing the lots in the Ohan’ali area. Highly recommende...

Cottage Living: Grand Henford Addon

Going to be brutally honest; I can't even use the stone windows from Cottage Living. Their scale is completely off and you would have thought they were a grand window, but they just lack the size. I had to fix it. So I enlarged them by about 50% and added more grand sizes. The lack of a matching door also bugged me, so I stripped the stone off the one design, made is simple, and designed a surround as an option. Also made a surround for the larger door as well. Now I have a set that is going ...

Alesund - Modular Sectional and Chaise Seating

Another week, another sectional. Like most of you have probably figured out, I m addicted to sofas. If not, welcome to my favourite object I love making for my game. With the introduction of sectionals, it just opened up a whole different can of worms so I now have even more options for making seating (not that I needed an excuse before). Anyway, I want a few different choices for sectionals so that i have styles for different occasions. Phumo is very modern/MCM, and Alesund is very contempor...

Phumo Seating - Sectional Sofa and Chaise

After Dream Home Decorator came out I knew that everyone who asked me to make a sectional would come knocking on my door saying "you said you would make a sectional if Maxis made one!" I am a man of my word and this is my first proper sectional utilising the new system. I will do more, but I will not solely make these as I still prefer the traditional seating and it's proportions. So don't expect a lot of these from me, there are some drawbacks and they require a different, more time-consumin...

Hinterlands Bedroom - Country Style with 16 Items

I had this idea for a country bedroom which sprung up from a wardrobe I had intended to go with a now scrapped set. With Cottage Living announced, I decided to move it off the back burner and finish it as i felt that it would work great for the pack. With a few additions including some lovely floral bedding, it's finally ready for me to use in my gameplay save.

Kitayama Dining - Japanese-Scandi Fusion with 26 New Objects

So I did say I had a second part to Kitayama, and here it is. I initially started out with the Living room, which quickly grew to include a dining room as well. However, uploading and maintaining large files is a pain, so I split it up. Now I am able to upload, I can share it with all you. Hopefully it's not disappointing after what was available in the previous part. Really love how this two-part set came together, and it really does leave me open to add more when I am inspired.

Kitayama Living - Japanese-Scandi Fusion with 39 New Objects

This set came about from a Pinterest image where Japanese and Scandinavian style were fused together to create something new. I really loved the idea and was inspired to make a set based on the theme. There are parallels between the two styles, but the beauty is in the differences and married together become of so wonderful. I got so carried away I had to split this set into two parts, or my internet might of thrown a tantrum (and gives me time to organise the other part). So enjoy the first ...

Just a quick update

Been pretty busy IRL so not much time to create or work on current projects. Getting back into it so trying to get Kitayama ready (or at least part I) for upload this weekend or next. I don't know what it is about 2021, but it just has me run off my feet 😅😂

Oasis Riad

I had a lot of fun with the new Courtyard Oasis Kit, and decided to upload the house that eventuated from that fun. I started with the courtyard and worked out, so it's not a perfect shape or layout, but I think it works pretty well when I chose aesthetics over function. Had a lot of issues with the known stair bug where open foyers caused the stairs not to work, but tested a workaround which I hope works for all you like it did my testers. If the stairs don't work for you, let me know. Anywa...

Curtis Seating

I saw this sofa design on pinterest, and had to have it for my game. The tub chair aesthetic really spoke to me, and the slight curves with a subtle pattern was just wonderful. I really feel this design will be at home in an apartment or loft and just add a bit of visual interest without being the centre of attention.

Eco Lifestyle Timber Flooring Expanded - 6 New or Edited Flooring Options

Highly requested (and something I missed which I usually do after a pack release) was recolouring the Eco Lifestyle flooring. I didn't do just that, I thought it was a missed opportunity not having the Upcycled timber walls as a flooring too, so I made it so in both original colour, and my recoloured version. I also took the hexagon timber and made a smaller version which I think will be great for smaller rooms like bathrooms. These are also in the original colour options plus the regular and...

Geometric Murals - 2 Walls in Poly- & Mono-chromatic Styles

I love my MCM items, and I feel that sometimes there are are no walls that compliment the style. I stumbled across a pinterest post with a similar DIY mural and thought to myself "this would be great in my builds" and set about making it. I am really happy with the outcome and happy to have, albeit modern, wall for my MCM rooms that adds a pop of colour and interest without the need of artwork.

Cozy Knits Bedding - Luxurious Bedding in 30 Knitted Options

I really loved the knitted pattern from the CL bed, but thought the texture was way too large. So I scaled it down and couldn't figure out what to do with it until recently. I really love how these came out, and now I have another textured option for my bedding, in all sizes.

Annual Memberships

would people be interested in this option along with the month-to-month options? Only downside is I have to enable charging up-front. 

Elsie Bedroom Basics - 25 New items

This was supposed to go up last week, but you know how life gets in the way. This is something I have been teasing on Patreon (only thing I could think to give as a little thank you to those supporting without pay-walling stuff). It is in concept a basics collection to give a standard, simple design that can be used throughout a home (in this case bedrooms) to give a cohesive feel. I am usually not for people asking for very specific designs in smaller bedframes or visa versa, but i can get b...

Roarsome Walls - 21 New Stenciled Designs and 40 Complimentary Colours

I was decorating in-game and realised just how lacking walls for children's rooms are. Then I remembered I had always planned to turn my Roarsome animal designs into a wall and made that. Better late them never? Anyway, I put these on my newer wall design and decided to add some solids for more versatility. I may add some more plain wall colours in the future too, to match the white trim of these ones (previous wall designs wont gain white trim, will just look odd). Anyway, hope you enjoy the...

Paranormal Buymode Expanded - 20 New Items

I haven't had this much fun with a stuff pack in quite a while, and was really inspired to add more content. I came up with 20 edits for items I wanted (or altered) and really happy with the outcome. Some just make sense (like the large vase being shrunk and slottable) to wants (really wanted a bedframe) to making things a bit more appealing (sulani palm leaves version of potted palm). Overall, i think it makes an already great stuff pack better, at least in my opinion.

Paranormal Promenade - Two Houses for the Paranormal Stuff Pack

I had so much fun testing out the Paranormal Stuff Pack when I was granted early access thanks to the Gamechangers program. So much fun, I built 2 houses for it! The first, Hawthorne House, I used to playtest the pack. The other was inspired by the Painting, Temperance Manor. Both houses only use Basegame and the stuff pack for ease and not tagged as modded. To me they fit great in Willow Creek, but can be placed elsewhere too. Hopefully people enjoy them as much as I did building them.

Baker Seating - A Cosmoluxe Sofa Set

Another upload, another sofa set. This style is a bit different then what I usually do. It was adapted from a modern take on a camel back but I preferred it with a flat back. The bolster pillows (not separate) add a bit of panache that would have made an otherwise boring design, something a bit more classy. I definitely see these being right at home in a high end apartment, or a sprawling country manor.

Country Crafter - Nifty Knitting-Inspired Buildmode Set

A brand new year, and a brand new set of buildmode items to share. Nifty Knitting was one of the more enjoyable SPs to come out in recent memory, and also a treasure trove of content ripe for expansion. I started this while working on the Buymode Addon but was set back when I decided to add more colours to the set which required me remaking all the package files and generating all the new textures. But it's done now and I think it helps fill the void for those looking for a more classic but s...
