Graciously Georgian Version 2.0 - Classic Style Build Set with 60 New and Improved Items


I have been working on this for too long. Way too long. I loved the original set; I use it a lot and we just don't really have anything similar in-game to replicate it. However, the original had issues. It was my first original buildmode set so that was expected. However I kept seeing other issues besides the ones reported that I just had to fix because they bugged me. So it is finally done and I am even happier. Why so long? I have made it so this replaces the original items almost perfectly. Along with fixing existing meshes removing unnecessary polys and fitting better into the game sizing (no clipping through ceilings) I also added a few new items as well.

What you need to know:
  • This replaces the original set. Well almost. 2 swatches from the single sash loft windows don't replace and I couldn't figure out why. Everything else is fine. That is 99.6% of window styles replace the originals
  • I will repeat: THIS REPLACES THE ORIGINAL SET. Delete the original package files before putting in this set. 
  • Added new styles. You now get the solids and woods in alternate white trim (rather then just woods being available in both)
  • 12 new items (windows and doors)
  • Some colour styles have changed, mainly the wood white trim doors 
  • DO NOT delete the files with TEXTURE in the package names. The cc will not work without them. Read this because so many of you don't. 
  • There is a legacy folder included. If you don't run a Legacy game (32bit and no longer getting packs or updates) then feel free to delete it.
Updates:
  • 20/4/2019 - Fixed shadow issue with 4 sash standard window
  • 28/10/2020: Now compatible with patch 1.66 new cutout system
The Build/Buy items feature:
  • basegame compatibility
  • non-default
  • 60 meshes in total with between 25 and 50 colour/style options:

  7. Hi there,

    Dumb question but even though it will free space deleting the old file I need to ask.

    I downloaded the original set as a merge file but I read here you have specifically said....

    "DO NOT delete the files with TEXTURE in the package names. The cc will not work without them. Read this because so many of you don't. "

    Does that mean I need to keep that merged original file as it will have these old texture files in it? (everything in me says "need to keep" even though it would be so nice to remove that old file and replace it with this one only heh.)

    Thank you for your hard work + sharing!!

    1. No, no. Nothing is linked to the old files at all, so that is why I say "remove old files" a few points above. You just need to make sure you don't delete any of the new files that have "Texture" in the name. The amount of sets I have done with linked textures and there are still people that remove the texture files then ask why textures are missing is astronomical.

    2. Thanks for clearing that up peacemaker i was also confused

  8. I love your stuff, the only problem I have with it is the custom thumbnails drive me crazy, I wish there was an option without them. They're not hard to remove, though.

    1. Yeah, never going to happen though. Too much work for little payoff. Helps me find my content easier too. Good thing S4S has a batch fix to remove them for the small percentage of people that don't like them.

  9. Hello Peace I love this set and it's great that you updated it. Can I make a suggestion the french doors with the transom need a single version? Thanks again.
    Cheers Tony

    1. I did consider it but the set is too large already so decided to not make one. I use double doors more often so it made more sense for my own building style.

  10. Sorry but I have not played TS3 for years so no point in converting it, even if I could (never worked with object meshes in that version of the game).

  11. I can't find the original set in my mods to remove them. what name of the files should i look for

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I just shortened the file name. The originals were named starting with "PC-TS4-GraciouslyGeorgian" so hopefully that helps you

      Delete
  12. These look great, thank you!! I'm always struggling to find good arches for my builds because the in game ones are so limiting!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Another fantastic set! I downloaded a number of your other sets a while ago, and I tested them in-game. They are all great! I am in the midst of purging other furniture, etc. I had :D

    ReplyDelete
  14. So if I "remove old files" from the original set & download your new set.....what will happen to all the homes that have those doors and windows in them (they are in the majority of builds I've made)? Will the new set automatically replace the original doors/windows or will I have to do that manually?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Everything will be replacedautomatically (except like 2 styles in total from 2 loft size single windows which I mention above). Because they replace the old versions, that is why you need to remove the old version before putting in the new one as it will mess up the new texture linking and stuff will look odd. Only way it wont be replaced if if you save your game between removing the old files and putting the new ones in.

  15. Okay, so i downloaded the new Sims 4 update yesterday and when i went to play my game, my doors were missing.Every time i go into build mode to try to place them, it says script fail. Please help

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. No idea what is happening on your side as I can place them with no issues. Is it a specific door or all of them? Also you have definitely re-enabled mods after the update? All I can suggest right now is try redownloading.

      Delete
  16. FYI to Akira and Peacy - I was reading messages on Discord (I think it was Deaderpool's Discord or possibly another community site) yesterday and came across this issue of missing doors...

    ...turns out that there is a "specific adult mod" that the writer was "not allowed to mention on this site."

    I would check your adult oriented mods and see if they need to be updated. I believe that the big ones did come out with updates overnight.

    Hope that helps :D

    1. Ah, the "mod that shall not be named" LOL! Never used it so explains why I had no issues. Hopefully it helps Akira

  18. Hello Peacemaker, i really love your CC and use some of it in every single house. Thank you for sharing your great work with us!

    I am having some issues with the doors. When one of the Graciously Georgian doors is placed at my house, one of my sims doesn´t follow my commands and after some seconds the game crashes. I deleted all of my other CC to be sure that it really is a problem with the doors. I also tried the windows and arches separately and there are no issues with these. It only happens when one of the doors is placed. I really hope you can help me, i love these doors so much and would be very sad if i can´t use them anymore. Thank you very much!

    1. If you tell me which door it is I can see if i can replicate it. I know wickedwhims was causing issues so if you didn't remove mods as well try that too. Otherwsie you have repair game as an option and redownloading.

  19. You are brilliant. Donation coming your way shortly.

  20. I love your creations! Would you consider making separated left and right shutters? It would be nice to use them on wider windows, too.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. no plans because they would be a pain in the arse to use and I am not doing that to myself. If i ever make windows when that makes sense to do so i will consider it but i am not a fan of decor shutters that are just for aesthetics but not usable at all.

  21. This is the set I use like 90% of the time so glad to see an update and thanks for all your hard work!

  24. So appreciative of all the updates you've done. Thank you! There is a folder called Legacy with nine files. Are there also part of the set?
