I know most people only come here for Sims stuff and don’t want to hear anything about the real world outside the Sims (and that some people think creators shouldn’t be allowed to even think about anything not strictly Sims related 😡 ), but right now I can’t just ignore the fact that there is a world outside the Sims, and it’s very, very real – and if that means I lose downloaders, then so be it. So:

Do with it as you wish. Slava ukraini!

Wishing all my visitors, downloaders and commenters a Happy New 2026 (even though I know the new year is old news already for my Oceanian peeps)!

If 2025 has been a bad one, here’s to hoping 2026 will be better. And if 2025 has been good, here’s to hoping 2026 will be better still.

Thanks for following me this year, and hope to see you in the new one as well! ❤
 

Snow Globe Redux

Posted on by

Category: Decorative -> Sculpture
EPs Required: None – base-game compatible
Cost: $55
Poly Count: Medium poly (2694)

I’d intended to get this uploaded before Christmas, but that didn’t quite happen. But Boxing Day is still Christmas, right? Right.

Anyway. One of the first objects I ever made was a snow globe. I’m still quite fond of it, but since I made it (in 2012!) I’ve learnt a lot about object making and if I’d made it today, I’d have done it differently. So I did it differently, and remade it. 🙂

Completers On Demand: Add-ons for the Chiclettina and Club Room Counters

Completers On Demand: Add-ons for the Chiclettina and Club Room counters

I’ll be honest: the “Chiclettina” counter was never one of my favourites. But apparently my downloaders see it differently, because a while back I got not one but two requests for Chiclettina completers. One of them also asked for completers for the Club Room counters. This one was never one of my favourites, either – even less so than the Chiclettina – but what can you do when you have great downloaders and they ask so nicely? So… Chiclettina and Club Room completers it is! :mrgreen:

The TSM Jacoban Fireplace as a… Fireplace

Posted on by

Category: Misc. -> Misc.
EPs Required: None – base game compatible
Cost: $1,450
Poly Count: High poly! (3842 = 1921/tile)

Backstory: a while ago (a long, long while ago 😳 ), I got a request from the wonderful Tiff a.k.a. ekrubynaffit for an invisible recol for the cauldron of the TSM Jacoban fireplace I’d converted as a stove earlier, so it can be used as, you know, a fireplace without looking out of place (as Tiff put it, “a cooking pot in the ballroom won’t work”). Me being, well, me, I offered to make it into an actual fireplace instead. And here it is, at long last. Sorry it’s taken so long, Tiff!

4to2 Ice Cream Earrings + Strawberry Necklace with Add-Ons

Posted on by

I know, I know – I have some explaining to do here. I’ve… installed TS4. 😮 Not to play, mind – to be able to convert CC. I’ve played it exactly once, just so it would spawn everything it needed to spawn, but that’s it. I’m staying true to my beloved TS2. ❤

Anyway. When I was playing with S4CASTools and Sims 4 Studio to get a feeling for how they worked, I came across this adorable pair of ice cream earrings for AF (that I'm sure have been converted before – I mean, they're base game), and I also found a cute strawberry necklace for CF. They seemed like an easy enough project for my very first 4to2 conversion… so I converted them. And then I made some add-ons, too, because of course I did: earrings for the strawberry necklace and a necklace for the ice cream earrings.

So since it’s summer – have some ice cream and strawberries! :mrgreen:

36 Recols for Skell’s Improved Scrubs with Accessory Insets

Posted on by

Title, of course, from here.

Background: I’m writing a story, that isn’t Star Trek-based for once, where most of the characters including my two main characters are doctors and I needed some nice scrubs for them. (The Sims in the title pic are all story Sims, BTW.) I’m not super keen on the (hidden) scrubs in game, so I was very happy to stumble upon Skell’s improved scrubs project (where Skell made new scrubs based on the BV masseuse uniform). There are some nice recols for it out there already, but as always I wanted my own. I was just going to make a few… but if you know me at all, you know that I never, ever stop at “just a few.” 😅

DeeDee+Trapping Top-Only Dress Mashup for AF & TF

Posted on by
Reply

(Lite version also posted at Tumblr.)

New year, new uploads. :mrgreen:

Not quite my usual, but over at Tumblr, DeeDee-Sims has made a top-only version of Trapping’s peplum dress that I quite like, it’s perfect for a certain story Sim of mine who needed a nice dress for a first date (and then again for a special but somewhat hurried occasion). I wanted it with a longer skirt, though, so I ripped the skirt off another one of DeeDee’s top-only dresses, her romp dress, and put it on the peplum dress instead. Then I slapped ZombieJill’s six recols on it, and also made nine more (eight Aelia and one ACYL) using ZJ’s textures.

DeeDee’s dresses are for AF and TF, so my dress is as well. Seems only fair. 🙂

I know my Oceanian peeps have entered 2025 already (how’s it looking so far?), but I want to wish all my commenters, downloaders and visitors a happy new 2025!

If 2024 has been a rough one, here’s to hoping 2025 will be much better; if 2024 has been a good one, here’s to hoping 2025 will be better still. The only way is up! ⭐

Thanks for sticking with me this year even though I haven’t been very active. Love you all! ❤️

30×3 Aelia Recols for Fansee’s Sookie Hoodie (for Teens, Too!)

Posted on by
5

Yes, I’m alive and simmin’. Have plenty of stuff to upload, too – watch this space, as they say.

Fanseelamb’s Sookie hoodie is one of my favourite AF tops of all time, and even though it’s more than twelve years old by now I still use it a lot for my Sims. I recoloured it recently for my Mattie Sim… and then I thought I’d make some more recols while I was at it. Just a couple, you know, by way of variation.

So today I bring you 30 recols from Aelia’s Jewel and Autumn palettes (I picked and mixed my favourite colours), in three variations: plain, with hearts, and with polkadots. Oh, and I thought it would be great to have them for teens as well… so I converted Fansee’s excellent mesh for TF (Keisha in the middle is a teen).

Just a couple of recols. Right. 🙄

New WSOs for Consort’s Heavy Male

Posted on by

A while back, I made WSOs for Consort’s heavy male (which is one of my favourite bodyshapes for male Sims – and yes, I know there already are WSOs for Melodie9’s fat family and that’s all good and well, but personally I’ve always liked Consort’s shape better. And IMHO, if there can be a bazillion different bodyshapes for all kinds of bodybuilders? Then there can be two for heavy-set Sims). But I was never really happy with the WSO for clothed meshes in particular, I think the morphs came out too bulky, so I tweaked it and tweaked it and then tweaked it some more until it had a shape I liked (basically smoother and with fewer folds and love handles), or at least felt I could work with.

But for some reason I never got around to upload the updated WSOs here, it kept slipping my mind. But now here they finally are (at absolutely nobody’s request, but anyway).

New Personal Blog

Posted on by

I did a thing.

“Whaaa?” I hear you say. “Are you going to stop simming?” Absolutely not! I have no such plans whatsoever (and I’ve a bunch of projects I’m working on behind the scenes, so to speak, and a couple of them are very close to release). It’s just that for quite some time now, I’ve felt that I wanted a place where I can… you know, talk about stuff? Personal, life stuff, not Sim stuff. I don’t want to do this here, though, since I know you’re here for Sims stuff and not to listen to me whining, but I also don’t feel comfortable doing it on Tumblr because… don’t even get me started. Also, I like WordPress. So, personal blog it is.

Other than this post, though, I won’t be advertising it here. I’ve added a little navigation widget to the right (below “Latest Comments”) where I’ll link to the latest post over there, but that’s all. I won’t shout it out every time I’ve posted something new over there, so if you want to ignore it and just focus on the Sim stuff, you should be able to do so without much effort.

I do, of course, hope I’ll see you over there as well – but no hard feelings whatsoever if I don’t! You’ll still be my favourite downloaders. ❤

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, all my dear visitors, downloaders and commenters! Thanks for sticking with me this year, even though I haven’t been particularly active when it comes to simming. :/

I definitely hadn’t planned for my hiatus to last this long, but 2023 has been… all kinds of things. 🙄 Some have been good – like moving to a new, bigger apartment – but some have been bad, like new health problems (that actually had me in hospital for a short time earlier this autumn). I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do with this past year, really – so I think I’ll just leave it here and move on to the next one. 😛

Here’s to hoping 2024 will be a great one, filled with Sims and other things that make life good!

Love ya! ❤
