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:

• Grove Furniture Collection Redux
• Bayside Bedroom Set Redux
• Mid-Century Abode
• Hamptons Retreat
• Modest Luxurious Bedding
• Roarsome Kids Bedroom
• Annabel Bedroom Suite
• Ophelia Bedroom Suite

Updated Maxis Addons

• Bowling Night Buymode Addons

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.

Smaller Rustic Siding - Timber Baton Siding in 50 colours

I liked the idea of the Seasons siding, but found the scale way to large for my liking. So I took the base texture, edited it, and recoloured it in a tweaked wall palette and voila! Another wood siding that works really well on both classic and modern builds. Endedup using this on the Seasons Buildmode Addon and thought i would polish it up for release so everyone benefits.

Post-Uni Patch Updates

Hi everyone! I have completed the updates for items affected by the patch released prior to Discover University EP that affected items with too many slots and showers. I still need to update custom bedding to work in dorms, but they currently work fine in normal homes. When i have completed that more tedious update, i will post again with the updated links. Here are the sets you will need to update currently:

Serenity Bathroom
Hamptons Getaway
Futura Living
Vara Office

Do note, with the new bookshelves, you are going to have to replace any items that were placed on them because of the side effect of editing the slots. If you are still experiencing issues, make sure you don't have a duplicate file, and if you don't take out and let me know. As far as I am aware the new restrictions shouldn't vary depending on your game settings, but i have heard of issues that people can't use some of the updated items. So if that is the case, best to permanently remove that file until an official statement of what the recommended number of slots as, and whether game settings affects that number.

Mielo Rowhouses

Well look here, I completed a build for Discover University. I really love the style of this world and all the rowhouses, so i decided to replicate that look in this home. It is 3 units, but I only have 1 furnished. With the roommate function you could furnish the other 2 to act like and apartment, or turn into a larger house if you wanted. Playing a single sim, 1/3 of the build suited me just fine.

Broken CC Pre-Uni Patch

thanks to all those who have sent in asks. 

So far I have: 

1. showers
2. Beds
3. Bookcases

these all make sense so i am in the process of investigating exactly what is causing the issues and will update those accordingly. If you have a house using any of my bookcases, it is best to remove the cc until I can update them since it causes the game to crash to desktop.
