Lyric Dreams

Hello. It’s me...

Oh my gosh. Is it for real? Is my last post already more than one year old? How did time past so fast?

I received many questions and really kind messages about Aubeclaire. I was really heart-warmed. I don’t have excuses, maybe most of you don’t even wait for it anymore. These last months were... hum, how to put it to words? Harsh. Covid things, amongts others, were not really helpful with motivation. I’m not gonna expose my whole life here (I’m arleady doing it but anyway) but it’s hard for me to want to do something these times.

But I’m gonna try to finish this project anyway! Windows and doors patch was annoying, ‘cause I was waiting for a patch to re-use most of my cc windows and doors. Thanks to @felixandresims who was reactant to update all of his content. I used the batch fix from the sims 4 studio to update the rest.

Here, you can see some of the rooms I reworked a little, or furnished.

Now, I need testers! Aubeclaire is a really big build, as you can guess, and has a HUGE amount of content (mainly from felixandre, @thejim07, and Regal Sims). I have to make sure that the download is viable. And, why not, make you contribute to the rooms which are still empty (and believe me, they are many), it would be pretty cool! :)

See you soon! ...

Hi everyone :) I’m back... again, haha.

Sorry for the long absence. First of all, I had a pretty busy summer. I was occupied with my summer job, I prepared my brother’s birthday, I took a vacation pretty far from my computer... With all of this, I had several problems with my PC, and I had to reinstall everything.

Next, I really had a blocking with Aubeclaire. I absolutely don’t know how to finish it. 

I was on many other games, then I came back to the sims and made several other projects that I’m gonna release here, so I’m showing some previews here :D

Aubeclaire is still going to be released but I’m gonna test it and release it unfinished. Actually, I’m really curious and eager to see what you’re gonna do with it.

So, here are my new creations : The mysterious Entheriad Manor (a recreation from and old manor I made in the sims 3), the luxurious Fontanis Palace, the elegant Agur Manor, the charming Debolest Manor, and the Bellecombe family mansion.

I receive many questions about Aubeclaire, so here is a little update ! :D The library, and the courtyard.

The warm look of Del Sol reminded me of Monte Vista, and how much I was a fan of its beautiful wild flowers, so I decided to convert it to sims 4 :)

Season compatible

The mesh is a resized version of wild flowers :

Reception and guest rooms of Aubeclaire.

In order of appearance :

- Grand Hall

- Throne room

- Boudoir

- Dining Room

- Gallery

- Ballroom

Absolutely don’t know how to fill this ><

Also, does anyone know how to recolor fences/cornices/ect ? Some colors are not perfctly matching and it’s really stressing me out !

Aubeclaire Castle

Testing some reshade effects, seems pretty well :)

Here, the first floor of my Riverside mansion, by night, and the facade, on the late afternoon.

19th century architecture for the little plaza in Windenburg !

Was on a project of a huge castle, with the new @felixandresims content, but... Terrain of 64x64 is not enough huge ;-;

Ahem.

SO.

After a couple of months of doing something else, I pretty missed the sims, so... I found that some of my houses were online on another cloud, plus the two on simfileshare. I spend one week of intense downloading. I guess I’m back, by the way.

So let me introduce you : The Von Haunt Estate, redone !

For a long time, I was thinking that the Von Haunt Manor was pretty imperfect. Too little, with a “not-really-castle-ish” layout.

I tried here to make an European castle of the 19th century, with an elegant and graceous furniture and decoration. Enjoy !

Oh, and it’s a pretty heavy download, so you’ll have to download both links if you want to have all of the cc. (and of course, I do not own any of it, so don’t hesitate to ask me If you wanna know where it came from !)

Also, I suggest you to download the really cool mod from Zerbu, which allows to modify the venue type of the Von Haunt terrain, if you want to have it as a house, for example :)
