Colourful Cottage Starter

Hey everyone! I have another new home for you all today. This one is actually my first starter. I liked the shotgun style of the houses that Maxis built, but I thought they were a bit drab. This changes that. Nice and cheery, your sims will forget all about having the fix the appliances all the time.

Edmundton Townhouse

Hey everyone! I have a new home for you all today. I have been sitting on this house for a while and thought it was about time I shared it. The home is a townhouse style, and was built to hopefully replace the Goth Manor in Willow Creek, but placed across the road.

Just a Public Service Annoucement

Firstly, hello fellow simmers! Thank you for reading, this contains some important information for some of you. 

For those experiencing random crashing with my TS4 clothing, whether in CAS or in-game, there is this helpful little tool created by Cmar over at MTS that should help fix it for you. Since these are isolated issues with only some users, I see no need re-releasing the items with this fix. It is easy to do yourselves with the helpful too. It basically just fixes 'missing' bone assignments which are not used. Head over to this thread to download. If you are having issues with other items, see if the tool works for those too. 

For those experiencing issues with my walls were some, if not all walls show up as a question mark. I want to apologise, but I have only recently came across the reason for this. I found it on the S4S forums:

**Testing suggests that walls which are not resized correctly will show up with question mark images in place of your new images for some players.  For this reason, wall images should be resized so they match the size of EA's wall images.**

It is due to my wall images not being scaled down to Maxis size. Unfortunately I will not be remaking my walls to Maxis sizes so they work for everyone. The reason being is it will ruin the quality of the image, especially the patterns. I cannot bring myself to do that as they would be completely unusable for me. I am not sure why the issue occurs, but my guess is it is much like the intel graphics card issues that cause CAS crashes. So hence fourth, I will put warnings on the walls. I am sorry for the inconvience and I had hoped it was an easier and less destructive solution, but because it would ruin the quality of the walls in my eyes, I will not apply the 'fix'. I hope you all understand. I guess it was a choice made to increase performance, one I wouldn't have made myself. 

Weathered Brick 03

Next up is the second of 3 weathered brick textures for interior and exterior use. I love brick, and I wanted more choice, and now you all have more choice too! And in multiple colours! It is a win-win scenario all-round.

Classic Wall Set - Grasscloth 02

I have some new walls for you all! Up second is another grasscloth pattern. I really really like grasscloth (and you may have seen), it adds a textural element to a room. Don't expect the grasscloth to be seamless horizontally, that is how grasscloth comes naturally. It adds to the charm of the wallpaper and makes it one of my favourite walls to decorate with. So if you don't like that grasscloth isn't seamless, i would advise against you downloading this wallpaper, Grasscloth is not seamless due to the method of production, and neither are these. They are still lovely, but not everyone's cup of tea.

Classic Wall Set - Grasscloth 01

Here is the grasscloth pattern I made for TS3 converted. I really like grasscloth, it adds a textural element to a room. Even though grasscloth is not seamless horizontally due to it not being printed by actually woven, it adds to the charm of the wallpaper and makes it one of my favourite walls to decorate with. I doubt this will get many dl's because people will think it should be seamless, but to those people i will say this: If you think grasscloth should be seamless, then you don't know what grasscloth is.

Classic Wall Set - Cherry Blossom Birds

I have a problem. I am addicted to making walls. But you all get to share in my addiction, so it isn't that bad, is it? Anyway, I have had this image for quite some time (in the pink) and always wanted to turn it into a pattern for TS3. It failed miserably, but it hung around in my pictures folder. I came across it again and decided to mess with it some more and came up with these pretty walls. My faves would be the coral coloured one, and the duck egg blue one. They are just so pretty, and formal while being playful at the same time. I imagine these would be used as a feature wall in a master bedroom of some Victorian house. I might just have to decorate that myself.

Classic Wall Set - Willow

More walls! Next up is a willow pattern. I I remember someone made this for TS3, can't remember who though. I found the RL wallpaper and had to have it for my game. I have always loved willow trees, there is something mysterious and majestic about them. It was a hard pattern to recolour though, so it is only available in soft colours.

Classic Wall Set - Hydrangea

More walls! I kinda made a lot. Sorry, not sorry. This is an awesome, quite feminine wallpaper with butterflies and delicate bunches of flowers. I really love it and they add a softness to a room.

Classic Wall Set - Birch Trees

Here are some more contemporary walls for you all! I love birch trees and thought this would be an awesome addition to my game. I can see them going really well with the modern rug in the bright colours too (that was completely by accident). It is a simplified design that adds some visual interest and a pop of colour or more muted depending on your choice.

New Tutorial Added!!!

Changing Swatch Order of CAS Parts has been added to the tutorials dropdown menu. Feel free to check it out if you are a buddy cc creator for TS4 and hving ordered swatches for a CAS item is a must!

The Iron Victorian

Today I bring you another new home from my rather eclectic mix of houses in my game. This one is a particular favourite of mine. I love all types of architecture, but i tend to shy away from victorian-esque homes because I find it hard to pull off the design. With TS4 I thought I would give it a go and this is the end result. I think I might move the Goths in here.
