Frankenmesh Coat and Tee

I have been a busy boy this holiday season. Along with everything I have done with my family, I have started to learn meshing. My first successful attempt was Frankensteining a SN jacket (the one with the rose) and a diesel tee together to get what you see below.

Fair warning, this is my first attempt at meshing. so it is not perfect. The main area of concern is the cuff when the wrist is at a hard angle, but I could live with it. There is also a funny shadow visible in CAS, but it is not present in game. If there is anything that is serious, feel free to message me with a picture link so I can see what it is. I have not encountered anything remotely unfavourable and that is why I am releasing it now.

On to the good stuff. There is 3 recolourable channels, the tee, the coat and the lapel. There are 4 preset styles as well as all morph states (except pregnancy which I can live without since this is a male mesh). It is located in everyday, formalwear, career and outerwear. The archive contains the sim3pack, package and preview picture. Just choose which method of installation you prefer and delete the other. This is also my 800 followers gift, so I hope you all enjoy it that little bit more. thank you to all those who find my posts interesting, I love you all long time <3

Stone Tile Pattern Set: Ribbon Stone

Hey everyone! It has been a while since I have done a full fledged stone tile pattern set. It is hard finding source images for stone patterns, but I found one ,made it seamless and did a gazillion (OK a bit of exaggeration, its only 12 :P ) variations for TS3. They include 2 seamless stone textures, great for counter tops, then 10, yes 10, stone patterns of varying styles. The stone has 2 recolourable palettes and look best in natural stone colours, while the tiles have an extra channel for the tile grout. The seamless stone is found in the Rock and Stone category while the tiles are found in the "Tile and Mosaic" category of CAS.

The Facade - A Modern Aussie Home

Well its been a while since I have shared a house (been super busy with cc and patterns lol ) but here it is. I found the plan for this on a facebook ad of all places, and knew I had to build it. I an really happy with the tiered design ans reminds me a lot of my build, Agave Sunrise, though it feels more Aussie then american used to the brick, render and feature brick walls.

PC Dr. Seuss Thing Onesies

Here is the second onesie style I designed with my retexture. I wanted them separate from the simple design (found here). Again, thanks to aikea guinea at Club Crimsyn (and tumblr) for allowing me to use her altered mesh which I retextured to give this design variation (you can find the original here). The onesie has 4 recolourable channels with 4 stencils and located in everyday, formal and sleepwear. I have altered the pattern tiling, as with my plain version, to make the patterns appear smaller when used on the clothing.

Suits Me Pose Set

Well, here is my latest pose set. This was designed for one of my facebook friends, Titus Linde, who showed pictures of some guys in suits and was asking anyone to make their poses.

The poses are pose player compatible, but the archive also contains the codes on the picture and in a word document. I hope you like them as much as I do and I hope you enjoy :)

PC Unisex Onesie

Well, I don't really play the game that much, but when I do, I tend to make what I need as well as downloading stuff, because a lot of what is out there isn't quite what I had in mind, or is themed in such a way its off-putting, or is not recolourable, or on the odd occasion, not weird enough. Anyway, this is one of those times. I found a striped onesie that I wanted to make and the game mesh just wouldn't do. Who puts a collar on a onesie for toddlers? Really, I want to know who. So I got the approval of aikea guinea at Club Crimsyn (also on tumblr if you are a fanatic like me ;) ) to use her altered mesh which I retextured to give this design (you can find the original here). The onesie has 4 recolourable channels and located in everyday, formal and sleepwear. and I have altered the pattern tiling to make the patterns appear smaller when used on the clothing.

Tile Pattern Set 01

Well, here is another pattern set I have been working on, it consists of 10 2-palette recolourable patterns found in the tile category of CAS. Most as size variations for those that like that sort of stuff (like me). There really isn't much more to say. The archive contains both the package files and the sim3packs, as it have come to my attention that there are people that like to install patterns as package files. Since I test them in that format, I thought I would include them as well. I have also included the preview pictures so you can pick and choose which patterns you want if you don't like all the patterns.

PC Casual Open Shirt

Ok, I just want to say this first off, I am so happy with this shirt, my sims are wearing it all the time and it suits the summer weather I am getting here. It's a nice change of all the cold weather clothing I am seeing right now which makes me feel like I am overheating. Anyway the shirt is basegame compatible and found in everyday, sleepwear, swimwear and athletic.  The mesh is from the 70/80/90 stuff pack and the addition of the shirt underneath is a big improvement.

PC Shawl Collar Jacket

An anonymous person asked if my casual suit could be separated, and I thought it couldn't, not without editing the mesh. I thought about it more and came up with a new design on a different mesh. It used a UL mesh converted to basegame and redesigned the multiplier, mask and other files to give this shawl collar jacket. It has 3 recolourable channels, the jacket, shirt and jacket detail and is available in everyday and formal-wear.

StoneyBrook Barn

Inspired by a real-life home, this is a barn conversion with a modern twist. It was really enjoyable to make and even though it modern, still a challenge or me to decorate. I built it in Hidden Springs, but it does not contain any world content, so you are free to put it anywhere your heart desires. It is a small house though, so don't expect to raise a large family here.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month - Set of Demask Patterns

Over at The Simmers Society, a decorating challenge is posted regularly, and this month was the theme "think pink", which I designed an open plan room and entered it into the challenge (you can find my entry here). The theme was quite inspiring, and I made 12 patterns to use. This is not directly affiliated with the breast cancer foundation, but I feel that we can all do our part to make people aware of the risks of cancer and not paying attention to the warning signs. So by making these, I hope people think of the importance of early detection and how this colour has become the symbol to all those woman who have fought this deadly disease. On top of that, you now have 12 recolourable patterns (don't worry, if you don't like pink, I wouldn't torture you that much ;) )found in the abstract section of CAS mode. The archive contains the sim3pack files (no packages, I think patterns are better off installed through the launcher) and the description pictures so if you don't like them all, you can delete the patterns you don't like by matching the names up. So I hope you enjoy these patterns while I was feeling sentimental and melancholy.

PC Semi-Formal Suit

Here is a full outfit I have been working on. Its just a re-texture of a High End Loft Stuff outfit, but I have redesigned the overlay files (multiplier, mask, specular and normalmap) from its humble (and slightly unattractive) origins.

I would have liked to make the top separate, but alas, I need to learn to do that. Anyway, the archive contains the sim3pack and package formats so choose your method of installation.

PC Rocky Horror Picture Show outfit

Hey everyone! This is an edit of the MS corset outfit for men I have altered to remove some of the more disturbing parts and simplify it, as well as making it base game. I am really happy with how it has turned out, and just in time for Halloween ;)

The outfit is only available for everyday clothing and not enabled for random sims, so you shouldn't have a heart attack seeing a townie strutting their stuff down the street in this ensemble. There are 4 recolourable channels and the stocking are transparent fishnet design. I was unable to remove the collar (I have to edit the mesh which I have not idea to do and therefore will not do) so its there as a compromise. The archive contains both the sim3pack and package formats, so choose your poison. I hope you enjoy (and laugh at your sims as much as I have) with this outfit.

Here is a retexture and basegame conversion of a LN jacket I did for my game. I really liked the base jacket, but hated the stencil and thought the jacket would look good with a rougher texture.

Rocky Horror Family Portrait Pose Set

Here is a pose pack I have been working on for a week or so. With Halloween on the horizon, one of my dearest friend's enthusiasm for Halloween has rubbed off, and from that came this set of poses. Based on the cult classic, I tried to impart some of each of the characters into the poses for this fun pose pack. They are designed to go around the basegame "Bracken Living Room Chair" in the picture. The poses are locked to that centre tile where the chair is, so you shouldn't need to manually move them, unless you want to tweak the positions yourself. The poses could also be used separately too. The archive contains a folder which has the pictures for reference and codes if you want to access the poses via the name rather then the pose player.

Corinthian Modern

Hi all! Its been a while since I have shared a build with you all, and today I bring you a modern build that utilises some architectural elements commonly found on classic builds. This was a little challenge I set for myself to see if it could actually be done without looking tacky. I think it turned out really well, and I hope you do too. The house is situated on a 40x40 lot and the pictures were taken in hidden Valley, however it is suited to any neighbourhood. It looks ok in Lucky Palms, but looks a little out of place is its not placed in the oasis area of the world.

Hillcrest Cove: A World that is Finally Finished

Yes, it is finally finished. I have lost count how many years I have spent looking at this world, sometimes in awe and sometimes with great resentment. Well it is finally finished (or at least meeting my minimum requirements for what I think finished should be). It is not perfect, the usable space is small with the landscape dictating the design of the world. However I still love it, and I hope you all do too, even if many may not forgive the time it has taken for me to overcome the relentless frustration I have experienced creating this world. Hillcrest cove is classed as a large world (2048x2048) with 112 lots, both community and residential (53 community, 59 residential), with 21 of those lots being vacant. It was named after the mound found in the centre of the map in the Hillcrest reservoir. Nestled into the rolling hills, the lush landscaping and the mixture of ash, cottonwood and chestnut livens up the scenery. This was vision of the perfect world for me and the closest I came to making it reality.

"Hillcrest Cove is a place that brings together many different types of people from rural farmers to city socialites in a setting that is both functional and awe inspiring. Whether you settle in Jelly Palm Bay, Central district or Westpoint Valley, you can enjoy the entire town and what it has to offer. With amenities for all from the Lusty Georgian maid tavern to the ominous Dragon's lair, you wont be bored here. Hillcrest Cove has been a project town for many years and is finally complete, so I hope you all come to visit this special town and what it has to offer."

Hi everyone! here is a build I have been wanting to do for a little while, a barn house, and BnS had a farm challenge on, so I decided to enter it for fun.

It costs $138,060 so it comfortably comes into the $200,000 maximum cost limit. I hope you enjoy as much as I enjoyed building it :)

Kaufmann Desert House

Here is another old WIP I have finally finished and decided to upload. This 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom house is based on the real life home of the same name. The original was built by Richard Neutra for Edgar J. Kaufmann Sr. who also commissioned Fallingwater by Frank Lloyd Wright. The Kaufmann Desert House is a great example of "International Style Architecture". The house is recognised as one of the most important houses of the 20th century in the US. I love Frank Lloyd Wright, so it was inevitable I would move on to another designer of the same period. The house is on a 50x50 lot and can be placed on any of those in Lucky Palms (which is needed for the landscaping) or you can place a custom lot in any other worlds or if none are available.
