Have you ever wanted some utilities to make your houses look more realistic? Well, I really did, so I converted SIXAM's Home Improvements set; it's 49 objects in total! 🛠️ You'll have lots of things to decorate your basements, garages, bathrooms or backyards. I tried to make as many objects functional as I could, and kept a deco version too, so you can pick and choose.
This was a massive undertaking, took me MONTHS, but I'm glad I did it, and boy am I glad to be done with it too 😅
You can find the original Sims 4 set here, by SIXAMcc. A collection file is included in the download for convenience. It’s also low poly and basegame compatible. Also lots of credits !!
Full object list and extra previews are waiting under the cut ↓
Onto the technicals. There's a lot of info, but the most important is in the blockquote below. Everything you need should be included in the folder.
⚠️ You'll need Midge's Custom Alarm for the Burglar Alarm to work, which I included in the download. You'll also need to keep the craftable objects for the Workbench in your download folder.
You can have every Deco and Functional object in your game at the same time ‼️ You can pick and choose what you want.
💧 The Water Pipe Large is repo'd to the Thin one and the Gas Pipe Horizontal is repo'd to the Vertical one. The Drain 02 is repo'd to Drain 01.
There's a working Faucet I cloned from this one by @jacky93sims (you can't wash babies with it). The AC Split & AC Mini Split 💨💨 are also cloned from her Air Conditioner and are repo'd to each other. They're based on Simlogical Air Conditioning, which regulates a room's temperature. You can read the details here.
The Tank Water heater & Tankless Heater are cloned from @lordcrumps' For Rent conversion here. They should act like solar panels ☀️ and take money off your bills, like his do.
🛠️ The Workbench is cloned from @deedee-sims' functional Woodworking Bench. I've included her craftable objects in the folder, you'll need them for the Workbench to work.
I modified the Workbench Table to work as a Computer Desk, and shortened the Stool so it could be sat upon. Both work well together.
Finding the correct category for each item was driving me insane. If you want to change the category, I recommend using Pick'N'Mix Object Relocator. It's very easy to use! If you load the objects first in-game, you'll get previews to help you sort them out in the relocator.
You do need a copy of LordCrump’s Shadow Files for the shadows to work though, but I have included a copy in the zip, as always.

Today I'm very happy to bring you an update on this kitchen countertop. If you've been following me for a while, you might remember when I posted the first version (here), which was my first time trying to recolor this object. I remember having a lot of difficulty and giving up once, then trying again. The result at the time was wonderful for me, but with time and experience gained in recoloring, I started noticing imperfections that didn't bother me before.
Today, while redoing this kitchen countertop, I'm very happy with my progress. I believe I still need to learn much more, but we're moving in the right direction. This version has 5 options. I'll also leave links to the accessories for this item that make the kitchen even more complete, and I'm sure you'll love the result.

my first attempt at Uberhood died after 5 rounds, and by died i mean became totally unplayable - urns and tombstones are disappearing, ancestors go missing from the family tree, crashes at the specific time (every time in every family), and so on. the funniest thing that happened was probably the TVs were falling off the walls in every single household and even in community lots too. every time someone would turn that plasma on it will fall down immediately. i guess i had it coming, because i decided to make the base game Pleasantview the core of the entire playthrough, which, in the long run, became what it is
i am a little disappointed, of course, because i put a lot of time in these families, and grew attached to many characters and their relationships dynamic, not to mention all the little tweaks and lot makeovers i had to do or download. to go over through this again would be exhausting, but i really like playing with premades, so i guess i have to. i'm sure if i'll do it one step at a time it wouldn't be a total chore to do a makeover of everyone in one sitting
the best thing that came from that playthrough is, of course, the dynamic between Mercutio and Tybalt. they relationship were hilarious to follow through, and it culminated nicely right before the game decided to break entirely
of course to go through the proposal they both should cut ties with their families and run together somewhere nice like Desiderata Valley, but oh well. will never see that come to tuition, so may as well decide this engagement as an ending to this entire "series"
my next favorites are Puck Summerdream and Ripp Grunt, both dear to my heart so much, that i even decided to make Puck an immortal fairy overseer for the entire uberhood, forever. he and Nervous should have been stayed as a constant between everchanging families, both never aging. sad to see that idea didn't last long
clear favoritism which will continue in my fresh playthrough, i'm sure of it
i decided to go with one neighborhood this time, since my pc can't handle all of them at once. it wasn't that hard to choose, considering most of my faves are from Veronaville. i also like the town itself, the divide between styles and the lore around it, so i'm going to stick with it. it would be hard not to miss interactions between Puck and Ripp, or even Tybalt and Johnny Smith - they became quite close friends back in uni and had similar goals of becoming mayors of their respective towns, which was funny considering how different they are personality wise. i guess fighting your teenage crush, i mean rival, at the loading screen on the first day of uni really do well for men bonding
i want to document all the changes this time, including makeovers, so when my save explode again, i could go back and see how it all started. also, i changed reshade to a less bright, but more cinematic. it really popped the overall look of the game for me (old one on the left vs. the new one on the right on some random screenshots i had the closest)
the only problem with this is, of course, the lack of families, which could really quickly led to everyone being everyone's relative. first thought i have is to use university sims to dilute these Capps and Montys a little, and i'm probably gonna stick with it (i need to download some sims for it i guess, since i use all the clean templates and all my uni hoods are empty... oh well)
i started to move premades around the town into their new shiny houses, and may i say something controversial? the hold this game have on you from the first second you boot up a household is no other life sim could replicate to this day. i mean look at it
phenomenal. ten out of ten engagement right then and there (don't mind that abysmal Mercutio's haircut, my default replacements are like this sometimes. he will get his glow up soon). so much happened just in one minute i left this game unpaused, and i want all of it

if Cornwall Capp isn't the unluckiest sim in my uberhood i don't know who is
first he loses his wife and two eldest daughters, Sylvia and Lucetta in a tragic fire (i left the game unattended for five minutes and they burned a sandwich or something)
then i moved him and his youngest daughter, Imogen, into some shack in Riverblossom Hills, because their previous home was destroyed by fire
and imagine my face when a fucking satellite falls on Imogen's head after I told her to go look at the clouds
I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW KIDS COULD DIE THAT WAY WTF 😭😭😭
given Veronaville's lore and everything i might believe that Cornwall was the one who actually killed Olivia Monty and maybe had something to do with Hero's death as well? idk if it was all somehow scripted i wouldn't even be surprised
bonus giant flaming cross of inevitable doom (the tree was struck by lightning and now burns forever like this. lol. good luck Corney)
