June Real Life Update - Pausing billing till 17th of July
Hello dear friends,First of all, my man and I would like to thank you for your support and sympathy for the loss of his mum.The last two weeks have been even more difficult to handle than expected, as we both caught a heavy Covid right after my man's mother death. So, we had the grief of her death, the fog of a Covid, pains to breath... and at the top of this, bam, french electoral system is about to explode.It gets way too much to handle, so...
June (Real life)
Hello my friends!If you've been following me for a whle, you might know that real life has been quite chaotic for more than a year now, mostly due to my man's mother who had health troubles.Things went from bad to worse two weeks ago and she finally died yesterday, which is sadly probably a good thing because she was getting too much in pains. :(My boyfriend reactivated an old and severe pathology of his by taking care of his mum, so we&#...
Sims 4 - Structure for Festival-Concert-Pride...
What I wanted to build in my game was pretty simple: a small scene and put balloons all around, and spot lights to light up the center.... and yet, I haven't found what I needed, so I made that tiny set 'in emergency'! :DThere's parts of the structure itself: a column, and its extension if you want to make the structure higher; two types of angles, and a beam. These objects come in 5 variations and are directly based on Get Togeth...

Sims 4 - Led Bulbs
I probably didn't go through all the possible CC out there, but I haven't found satisfying LED bulbs, neither for Sims 3 nor 4, so I made my owns.6 different bulbs, with 6 different lenghts or supports (the ceiling lamps are available for the 3 different heights)

LAMPS!I made a couple of basic IKEA lamps I wanted for my game (remember that big IKEA lights setI made once for Sims 3? :)), and I was wondering if there's any lamps you'd need? (not necessaryly IKEA)If you have suggestions, pease, post links to pictures of the lamps you'd like!
Sets for Patreons: Living Fridges
A preview of the latest updates, as the pictures are blurred if you're not a Patreon!Fridges decors and (unanimated) fridges to decorate for buzzling kitchens! :)They'll be available to my sites on May 17th.
Sims 4 - Living Fridges
Sometimes, there's really houses where I can't imagine the fridge without stuff on its door: the latest bills to pay, mails to open, a kid drawing, or a recipe...But slots can't move with a fridge door (or at least, I failed), and it annoys me to see the decors in front of the inside of the fridge once the door is open, so I purely removed the door animation so it keeps closed (it doesn't prevent Sims from using the fridges, thank...
Sims 3 - Living Fridges
It's something I've been wanting for my Sims homes forever! There's some houses where I simply can't imagine the fridge without some bills to pay, kids drawings, or a recipe pinned on the door.Buuuuuuut Sims 3 fridges refuse to have slots!!So, I had to create what I called a slot panel, that needs to be placed in front of the fridge, and then that can be invisible, just like OMSP:Other not completely satisfying point: decors won&#...
Sims 3 - Stalking Cat Bedroom
Here it is, finally!A bedroom made for cats and possibly cat owners!This was originally made for my Sims 4 game; I wanted furniture matching with a desk from the game pack Home Decorator, so I remade that desk for Sims 3, also converted a chair from that very same pack, and for the rest, it's all my creations, though directly inspired by that Sims 4 set.I wanted a bedroom where cats could sleep in drawers; but the Sims 3 cats have been quite ...
Sims 4 - Stalking Cat bedroom
One of my Sims lives in a tiny house but with lots of cats, so I wanted to have drawers as cat beds (so realistic, isn't it? :))At first, I used the Learn Well desk, but soon, I thought I wanted furniture matching with a Home Decorator desk I liked, so I made a desk pedestal for it, usable as cat bed, it also exists as simple end table. I made a matching dresser, with a drawer as cat bed, and I made a double bed version of the single bed of t...

Sims 4 - Artificial wall flowers
For few years now, there's a trend in Paris to put artificial flowers in front of cafés or shops, and it made me want to have some for my Sims cities. I made 8 different shapes to combine together, and two types of flowers: roses and ivy & wild flowers, both coming in 15 colors.These files use the textures included in the "horizontal" one.(Sims are lucky: these flowers won't fade with sun light nor darken by dust! ;D)Including: A...

Sims 4 - The Awning set
Very basic, and yet I hadn't such a thing in my game: awnings with different lenghts, so you can cover a restaurant terrace (which is impossible with a x1 tile lenght awning). So, awnings come from 0 to 4 tiles lenght, they exist in lighted and non-lighted version, there's 30 variations, and also have a corner option (still lighted or not), but here, it's a bit trickier as you'll need MoveObjects On to place the corner.The one-til...

Sims 4 - Jewelry
I've been needing a jewelry in my Sims town for YEARS, it's been on my to-do list for an eternity, but finally, here it is, and it can even used for your Sims's Valentine Day! :) So, the set is made of various jewels boxes (necklace, rings, earrings and bracelets), it also comes with other displays: neck for necklaces, hand for rings & bracelet. There's also a small platform if you want to put an object on it, and you can also cov...

Sims 4 - McDonald's Ordering Kiosk (functional)
An update in my McDonald's restaurant: now you can order your food directly from these kiosks. The food and drinks from my McDonald's set are required!I've also updated some of these items, mostly to change their thumbnails while they appear on the menu.Including: ATS4_object_mcdo_orderingkiosk.packageUpdated ATS4_object_mcdo_deco_fries.package ATS4_object_mcdo_drink_coffee_simlish.package ATS4_object_mcdo_drink_soda_simlish.package A...
Sims 3 - McDonald's Kiosk
Obviously, that object is much funnier to use in Sims 4 as it's fully functional, but still, this works as Food Generator, so you can still order some hamburgers or fries.(By the way, I'd like to convert my McDonald's food for Sims 3, but so far, there's no alternative to the plates, and I do want to use my boxes, so... the project is still on my to-do list, but without satisfying solution yet)

Sims 4 - South-East Asia Toilet
You know I'm kind of specialist in toilet & bathroom clutter now! :)So, I couldn't decline the request when I've been asked to make clutter for South-East Asian toilet to complete the squat toilet the expansion For Rent gave us. I've also made a no-flush version of the existing toilets.Bucket, with and without water, water dipper, faucet with and without hose...
