So Basimcly...

Here are some simple curtains. They match well with my heritage windows, and come in 6 flavours. All are recolourable, and will look great in any contemporary house

I’ve been away from Tumblr for a while, the reason is simple: something’s gone wrong with my Chichester kitchen counters, and I’ve been squirrelling away like a crazy person trying to work out what it is.

Trying to fix them has been like trying to spin plates. I fix one thing, and it makes something else go wrong, I fix that, and it makes the thing that was wrong in the first place go wrong again. I’ve tried it every single way, but I’m just hard out of luck. The tutorial I wrote on this worked to begin with (I tested it many times before publishing) but even that couldn’t fix the problems I was getting later down the line.

So this is a public call to veteran experts on kitchen counter creation. Help me. I want to give the community this versatile kitchen set, but I’m being let down by some annoying bug, so if you’ve made a kitchen before, your aid and expertise will be greatly appreciated.

You’ve had the full counters. Now it’s time for the half counters, and I haven’t gone by halves on the variations.

There are 9 different counters in this set. All can be found under counters, all allow the placement of kitchenalia goods such as microwaves, coffee makers and mixers, the shelves have slots, as do the shelves with baskets on them. They merge in perfectly with the other Chichester full counters so you can design your kitchen unique every time.

Watch this space for more kitchen stuff. There is a lot more to come from this set still!!

As promised, here are my counters. This is part 1 of an ongoing project in which I plan to make the ultimate kitchen with stylings that would fit in any traditional to contemporary kitchen.

In part 1 we have 8 1 tile counters. In future parts there will be different width counters, islands, cabinets and so forth, so watch this space!!!

I haven’t posted for ages, and that’s mainly because I’ve been having a melt down over kitchen counters (as one does). There is a significant lack of tutorials on them I discovered, and so after weeks of pain, and smashing my face into brick walls,and waking up in the middle of the night going ‘maybe this will work?’ only to crash into another dead end, I finally figured it out, and so with indefatigable joy, I present to you my tutorial on kitchen counters.

This tutorial is only going to cover how to use TSRW to achieve this. I’m not going to be discussing modelling, UV mapping, or texturing. There are plenty of tutorials on that, and so I assume that before you have even got to the situation of building up this object in TSRW, that you have a model of your counter, textured it, exported it, and it’s all good to go.

This is a 22 item set which includes

Plant pot (in 4 sizes)

Outdoor lights (ceiling, wall, lamp post, and 2 path lights)

Welly boots (In man, woman, and child, and with muddy overlays)

Boot scrapers (dog, horse and cat)

Front door mats (2 wooden semi-circle ones, and one rectangular with different designs that are all recolourable)

The wreath from my Heritage Plus+ set as a wall and floor wreath

A house name sign that has 80 variations which can be recoloured (see after the gap for all the names)

A recolour of sims 4 plant ‘a tuft outside’ that has 3 fully recolourable channels

I get the feeling that there will be updates to curb appeal as for each house I make, I can guarantee I will be wanting something different outside, but before I went too nuts, I decided to stop, and present this to you now

If you thought the heritage set was fancy, well, you can make it even fancier now with these uber fancy pediments which one can find under curtains.They come in 2 flavours: semi circle and triangle (x1 and x2), and fit perfectly over the heritage windows and doors.

I’ve also created a wreath that you can literally hang on your front door. It doesn’t animate with the door when it opens alas. However it’s fully recolourable, and perfect for all seasons

To enjoy these additions, you will need to download the updated heritage set

we’ll see about that...

Progress on my curb appeal project. Got my planters in game, looking very snazzy in their different sizes (plants by aroundthesims3) and have made myself some house addresses. 

Went a little bit overboard with the house signs. Originally I planned to do 30 or so names. That’s enough I thought. Ends up doing 80 instead. I think that should cover it right...?

This, ladies and gentlemen, was a herculean effort. Last time I posted I mentioned I was going to make some doors, and so I did, 12 bleeding doors

And so I present to you Heritage, a 21 item set

DOWNLOAD

It includes:

3 Windows: 1 counter, 1 middle, 1 tall

2 Arches: 1 single, 1 double

4 Interior doors: 1 plain single, 1 plain double, 1 glass single, 1 glass double

4 exterior doors: 1 plain single, 1 plain double, 1 glass single, 1 glass double

And single x2 (a single door or window that takes up 2 footprints) for every window, 1 of the arches, and each single door.

So that’s 6 windows, 3 arches, and 12 doors in total. (insert exhausted sigh) hopefully that will fill the hole in my life I like to call ‘traditional-windows-and-doors-one-might-find-on-a-typical-traditional-English-house’
