I mentioned a couple of days ago that I wanted to cut back on my CC. For Build and Buy, I want to use mostly Maxis Match. Tessa and Ravi’s lot came with a little bit of custom floor and wall CC, so I replaced those with content by Maxis and Honeywell. Most of the furniture and fixtures are the originals placed by the creator of the lot. For the things I added or changed, I made heavy use of the Country Collection to give the house a cohesive style.
One of the main reasons I want to cut back on CC is that I find the build and buy catalogs to be overwhelming. Also, as you know, I got a year older this week, and I’m feeling it. I have to really squint to see the catalog icons, and half of the time I give up in frustration. How I wish we had the filter and search features from TS4!
Anyway, cutting back has helped me discover some “new” content. You see those floor tiles in the powder room? That’s Maxis content, and I had no idea it was in the game! Same case with the flower box fence that I added to the front porch. Totally didn’t know it was there. Give me a break, I’ve only been playing this game since 2004.
