Adventure Awaits Buymode Expanded

Back with another addon because there are so many I want to do (and it's a nice break from kitchens and burnout). Adventure Awaits added a lot of new gameplay systems and although the world is lovely, the catalogue is relatively well rounded, the buymode did feel a bit light. I already dealt with the Buildmode side of the pack, so to wrap it up I tackled the Buymode side. Although not a large addition I think it helps fill in gaps, or makes some items a bit more usable. 

 So enjoy.

UrbanDeco Buildmode Expanded - A Lovestruck Unofficial Addon

I decided to tackle the second part of the Lovestruck Buildmode catalogue right after the previous release, but due to the draining effect of working on curved windows, it was a bit delayed while I recovered my sanity. These windows were much easier to work on, but suffered from "smallitis." To remedy that I enlarged before editing to make them more usable. It was smooth sailing for the most part, but definitely needed some additional wall decor to customise the windowsill which is a bit of an eyesore. Now I am much happier with the results

StoneREworked Buildmode Expanded - Unofficial Lovestruck Addon

I was finally motivated to do another buildmode addon. I really enjoyed the gameplay Lovestruck Added, and the world was lovely, but like usual, I wanted more windows and doors. Because of the distinct styles, I decided to break it up, so first up is the stonework windows and doors. Lets just say the curved window variants killed me... so they are only in the original widths, but now varying heights. 

WURK Decor - WURK Cabinetry Addon with 50 Items

This took far longer then I expected, but that is decor items for you. I really wanted to finish off the workshop look from WURK Cabinetry with decor that would set the mood. That resulted in about 2 months of work on and off (since I was sick and was spending time with family). Now it is done, and in my opinion, services a part of the catalogue often overlooked so I hope it sees the same amount of love that was put in to make it reality. 

WURK Cabinetry - 13 Modular items for TS4

 

I get inspired by different things, whether that is things i see when out and about, Pinterest, or in-game items. This time I was looking through the catalogue and saw the work bench from Restoration workshop kit and thought "that would be great if it was modular." Modular items tend to be better made from scratch, so instead of an edit I decided to make a kitchen/workshop cabinet based on the design, and this is the result. Although envisioned predominantly for workshops/man-caves/garage storage, i think this would work in an industrial build as well, a style we don't really have much of. 

 

Adventure Awaits Buildmode Expanded

It feels strange that the last post here was back in October. Life sure has a way of, you know, getting in the way. But I can't think of a better way to start off with an addon that has royally kicked my ass because I couldn't say no to adding to every item. That is Adventure Await. I really love the concept of the items, but personally I think there were too may styles. My motto is if you need to be able to build a home with just one of the styles, and you could only do that with one of them. Away, that should be fixed now.

ARC Kitchen - Kitchen Set with 37 Items and 3 Walls

I found thins monotone kitchen on Pinterest at the end of last year and fell in love. Due to other projects and burnout, I put it on the backburner but finally got back around to finishing it. It may not be  everyone's cup of tea but I love how it has turned out and will be using it a lot in my own game, that's for sure. Also it's been a while since i made appliances but now I remember why I avoid them lol

Screened-In Porch Walls - 4 Styles with 14 Colours

 

When we got the new window walls, my mind started coming up with ideas for what I could do now we had that functionality. This was the first idea, and i feel this is a far better concept then placing all those window objects for the same effect. I love how these turned out, and so much easier to place. 

Businesses & Hobbies Buymode Expanded - Unofficial Addon

 

There was a lot of potential with the items that came with the Businesses & Hobbies EP, so after taking some time to recover from burnout, I come back with an unofficial addon for the buymode portion. Hopefully these will fill in some of the voids while offering a bit more variation and usability from the items. 

Whispers Expanded - Unofficial Businesses and Hobbies Addon with 24 Items

 

 

I really like the town in the new expansion, and love some of the architectural styles they have created. However, I felt the square windows a bit plain, so in comes some curves to spice it up! I did add some other squared off variants as well, just for continuity, as well as some short/medium door options (tall was just out of the question, looked weird). I will probably do another addon down the road for the other style, but this is a good start.
