Vara Office - 10 New Items or The Sims 4




This idea has been floating around for quite some time and I finally got around to making it a realisation. Offices are one room that tend to get neglected. I love including them in my larger home designs so it is only logical to make sure I had the content to fill it. I also tried my hand at making a Desktop PC and Laptop (now we have a basegame variant) to accompany the set.

What You Need to Know:

  • Laptop is basegame, you don't need Strangerville for it to work
  • Bookcase is an actual bookcase. Click on it to get books (not the decor when placed)

Updates:
  • 23/11/2019 - Due to the Pre-Uni patch putting restrictions on number of bones, I have reduced the number of slots on the bookcase. It should now work without crashing the game. You will most likely have to re-place any clutter that was on any versions placed in-game
The Build/Buy items feature:
  • basegame compatibility
  • non-default
  • 10 meshes in total with between 10 and 39 colour/style options:
  • find items easily using phrase "Vara" or "Vara Office" in search bar (try this tutorial to easily find my sets)
  • style (found under "modern" tag) and colour filter compatible
  • custom thumbnails
  • Pricing  and polycount as follows:
    • Inspire Desktop PC ($2500, 636 polys)
    • Inspire Laptop ($1650, 336 polys)
    • Desk Chair ($375, 1139 polys)
    • Accent Chair ($425, 934 polys)
    • Desk ($475, 394 polys)
    • Desk with Drawers ($425, 614 polys)
    • Storage Console ($435, 598 polys)
    • Bookcase ($1250, 378 polys)
    • Easel ($415, 474 polys)
    • Desk Lamp ($175, 712 polys)

    This looks awesome! Good office furniture is definitely lacking in TS4, and I love that laptop and bookshelf!!

    Your creations are phenomenal! I've downloaded your work on TSR, but I only recently discovered your website through Twitter. I'm so glad I did!

    I am always excited to see what you will come out with next and new desks/office furniture are always nice to see as I feel the game doesn't have much to choose from. Thank you for all your hard work and beautiful designs.

    Oh my gosh, I just found your page and I just went through and downloaded basically all of it. I'm absolutely in love with your content. It's exactly my favourite kind of CC -- maxis match, but beautifully refined and stylish. Your design skills are incredible. Just, congratulations on your entire existence.

    Thank you very much for this amazing set.

    I just noticed that after yesterday's update (November 12 2019), "PC-TS4-VaraOffice-Bookcase.package" is causing my game to crash while trying to enter the lot.

    Do you have any idea what it could be?

      this was caused by the patch. Best to remove it until I can update

    Thanks for the update! Much appreciated. Do you know what the issue with cc double beds is?

      Probably has to with EAxis adding the ability to assign sides of the bed to specific sims

    2. Peacemaker26 November 2019 at 13:58

      actually not beds at all, in my game at least it's the footprint of the bedframe causing an issue

    Thank you, just an fyi, Sims4Studio still shows over the maximum allowed 195 bones on the bookcase via the "slot195" code they added recently. It must be annoying to have to go back and redo these things... your work is much appreciated.

      i am aware of the slot cheat. Does make it hard when i am not sure how long it takes for sfs database to update with the new files

    Just noticed this while playing, the PCs/Laptops don't have additional options that have be added to the game since these beautiful items were created. Thank you for all the brilliant work you do.

    Hi there, I noticed the chairs in this and a few other download aren't working. The sims won't sit, they act as if something is in the way (but it's not). It works with non cc chairs. Wasn't sure if I should just delete or if I missed an update somewhere.
