Oasis-Chic Living - Outdoor Wicker Living Set with 18 Objects





This set has been in the making for a long time. It was originally supposed to be started when I did the speed mesh of the Wicker Throne chair, but couldn't get inspired for the other items. That finally changed and I came up with a design I loved, and wanted to make. So here it is, and I feel i need to make more wicker furniture now.

Reclamation Point - A Small Recycled Island Home


My final, and probably my favourite home from early access with Tiny Living SP, this home is on the eclectic side and i imagined it to be more of a reclaimed home. Built from what can be scavenged and reused, it is well put together but also not devoid of character. Windenburg Island is the perfect place for this home, but i reckon it would work well in Brindleton Bay as well.

Maine Street Living - Micro, Tiny & Small Home Series


I had early access to Tiny Living SP and had a lot of fun in the process. This is only 3 of the homes I built while i was trying it out. I really enjoy this pack, not only because it is different from what people expect, but it offers a challenge for builders and it well put together. The idea of this mini-series was to do a generational style development, and build a house for each tier. I decided to expand the one house to the maximum allowed tile count and this is what was created.

Dawking Cottage - Accommodation for the University of Britechester


Britechester is a wonderful world, but lets be honest, most of the builds suck so builders have something to do. This cottage is a remodel of the original lot which have a lot of untapped potential. I gave the entire building and overhaul, and now there is a pleasant cottage dorm for those after a bit of charm. I really love the new windows from this set, along with the stone walls and it came together perfectly here. And if you don't want a dorm, you could always change the lot type and convert it to a residential home as well.

Goth Manor - A home makeover







Here to start of the year is a build I had a lot of fun working on, as well as it helping me to get back in the groove for a new year. The Goths are probably one of the most iconic, if not the most iconic, family in the Sims franchise. However, their home in Willow Creek left much to be desired. So after an ask on tumblr enquiring about it, I thought i might give it a go thinking i would scrap it (I actually did, 2 times before settling on this design). I love it and feel it embodies the way I picture the family and will definitely be using it in every new save. This is a standalone home from my Makeover of Willow Creek so it wont be a part of that in the future, so be aware of that.

Province Kitchen - A Selvadorian-Inspired Country Kitchen


Ah, the (possibly) last upload of 2019. I think I am ending on a bang. This kitchen started off as an idea to turn the "Polished Wooden Bar Caddy" from Jungle Adventures into a kitchen. Because of it's size, it was awkward to adjust so i decided to take inspiration from it and design a kitchen from scratch based around the original style. This is far more Maxis Match then I usually do, but I love the end result. Was a perfect opportunity to do another butcher-block kitchen too.

Post Uni Patch Update Part 2: Bedding and Bedframes

Finally able to fully test bedding and bedframes to make sure they no longer cause error 102. It came down to bedframes being categorised as beds using the tags which incorrectly labelled them as beds which could not be assigned a roommate/uni-student causing the error. They are now found in the Misc section of comfort. I also added the new uni housing function tag to the bedding as well. 
Updated sets are:

Maxis Painted Brick - Basegame Wall in Fifty Colours


I love the brick that came with Realm of Magic, and love the fact we got a pain version added to the base game too. It is just the right style; not to pristine, but not too worn. The only thing I needed was to recolour it so I got even more use out of it, and that is exactly what I did. I tweaked my existing wall palette and expanded it to 50 colours so there is plenty to choose from. Now I have even more painted brick to choose from.
