A little between the lot and my favorite CCTV system - Susie

The house I built for Susie

A good tip for object clipping, when they overlap, is to size them down to .999 with t.o.o.l.

Unless your camera is EXTREMELY close, you won't notice the difference in size!

I've been working on this build for months, I took many breaks, obviously, it is a huge build for me, and I wanted to make something that represent what I enjoy playing with.

Pack: Base Game, and CC packs (you will find everything in the link with the spreadsheet)

World: Newcrest

Lot size: 40x30

Price: 706,066

Style: French Chateau v,v

If you saw my previous updates you would have already seen these, but I just wanted to share them with my shader.

I have shown some of the kitchen and entryway, that's why I only included a photo of the living and dining room.

the second floor is a study and a library, there are multiple sitting areas in the hallway, and a bar.

finally the third floor have 2 bedroom, ensuite bathroom and three balconies.

This a spreadsheet of all the items I used for the build, I used @twistedmexi BetterBuildBuy new feature.

you can find it on the gallery, my ID is samthedoodler, make sure you tick the custom content box on the side menu

I was so disappointed when I saw the new world has its own rabbit hole grocery store, because that's something I've wanted in the game for ages. (The stall in Henford just isn't the vibe for me) Since I don't play with occults and don't care for another European world that looks just like the last, I decided to try making my own.

They're really easy to make, but you can always grab mine off the gallery. My ID is Llamaqueen08 and you can find them as Off lot store (CC). Remember to allow cc in your search!

All the mods/CC you'll need:

-AlexCroft's Grocery Store Kit (requires cottage living, but everything else is base game) Grocery Store Kit (The Sims 4 CottageLiving required) | Patreon -TwistedMexi's TOOL mod, Optional, but necessary if you want it off the lot TOOL v2.8.11: 5/28/25 Visual Fix | Patreon

-Twisted Mexi's Better BuildBuy, Very optional, but recommended Better BuildBuy v3.4.2: 5/27/25 Patch Hotfix | Patreon

So if y'all remember this gif from last month (thanks for the support on that!), I TOOLed a lot of things outside the lot to make that scene. And I promise I deleted everything afterwards. Well I came back to the lot a few days ago and all the objects were there again, and I couldn't select them with the TOOL. They were just a part of the world. :/

After reaching out to Twisted Mexi on his discord, he explained the following: "EA implemented a fix for objects off-lot ending up in the sky. Unfortunately when they did, older saves may have this bug where objects are unclickable and off-lot." A member also let me know that this was a recent issue previously reported.

TOOLing Around Brindleton Bay - Deadgrass Isle

I didn't think there was a reason to put much around Deadgrass Isle, but I had to put something. Birds, bunnies, a beach bonfire, and a swing set did the trick!
