Essa Kitchen - Modern Kitchen Set with 14 New Objects

Just like Shaker and Lennox kitchens, I like making a modern counterpart using the first kitchen as a base then changing up the front design to give a different look. Essa is that modern counterpart to Mina Kitchen. I also wanted to try a few new things with this set like a seamlessly open upper cabinet and a large all-glass pendant. I really love the simple design of this kitchen and will be another great option for the modernist amongst us.

What you need to know:
  • Firstly, I changed the shader of the cabinets so grab my Default Replacement No Occluder Appliances package file to solve any shadow issues
  • You MUST have the standard kitchen counter with usable space. Due to tuning, sims cant use the left and right end pieces for food prep (as much as i tried) so keep those for appliances and for sinks. If you have none of the standard "drawer and cupboard" counters in your kitchen your sim will not be able to prep food (goes for both counter and island). 
  • To use the granite style counters and islands, you need the marble version in your mods folder since that contains the main textures
  • The pedant includes both the opaque and clear glass styles together, just choose the option with white for the opaque version
  • the open cabinets are seamless, except for the pantry and half-height styles which have end caps. 

The Build/Buy items feature:
  • basegame compatibility
  • non-default
  • 14 objects in total with between 10 and 40 colour/style options:
  • find items easily using phrase "Essa" in search bar (try this tutorial to easily find my sets)
  • style (found under "contemporary" tag) and colour filter compatible
  • custom thumbnails
  • Pricing  and polycount as follows:
    • Counter ($235, 180-528 polys)
    • Island ($240, 146-599 polys)
    • Standard Cabinets ($155, 142-190 polys)
    • Open Cabinets ($125, 86-146 polys)
    • Low/High Fridge Nooks ($185, 163 polys)
    • Modern Farmhouse Sink ($215, 591 polys)
    • Globe Pendant ($225-227, 914 polys)
    • Barstool ($95, 337 polys)
    • Upholstered Barstool ($165, 1326 polys)*

  7. Thank you so much for this kitchen, it is truly lovely. I saw on your tumblr that you are having issues with your rebuild of Magic HQ and I just came across these rugs and paintings somebody created to attract specific sages. I hope it helps! https://lotharihoe.tumblr.com/post/187842072413/magic-sage-attractors-download-carpets-sfs

    1. no clue why it's doing that. Try the alternate download to see if that solves your issue. could be you have a program that is wrongly associated with the file type or something else.

  10. I've been under a rock while building and I missed this when it first came out - You just continue to blow me away with your fantastic cc, Peacy! I love your kitchens because they always work properly. I am looking forward to getting this set into my game. Thank you for all you do 🤗

  11. You are so very talented! The details, the texture, the care that goes into you work is very, very appreciated! I wonder if EA knows how many of us would not play the game without the cc skilled creators like you provide. Thank you so much :)

  14. I'm having problems with your barstool chairs. No matter the combination, my sims aren't able to use them. I was able to use them before until the updates, now they don't work for me.

    1. Known issue from March patch. I was hoping Maxis would fix on their end but that is seeming less and less likely.
