Sunwoven - Entryway
Hey everyone!
Finally I'm here with the next part of the Sunwoven Collection which would be the Entryway. I have to admit, creating this set wasn’t quite the experience I had hoped for. I really wanted to make doors for this part, and I’ve been working hard on them for quite a while. But since I didn’t have enough time to finish all the variations, I decided to include them in the next part instead. I never really know how much work I’ll have at my graphic design job, sometimes it’s manageable, but other times, like these past few weeks, it gets really hectic. That’s why I had less time to finish this set. So sorry for being a little absent, this was the reason. But to make up for it, I made three plants instead, something I wouldn’t have had time for if I’d finished the doors.
Tumblr media
About the set itself, I think it kind of speaks for itself. It includes furniture and decor objects for the entryway. My initial idea with Sunwoven is to add plant to each set I'm releasing. That was my first inspiration and I'm happy I could do the 3 new plants. I want to get better at creating plants and honestly I love plants in real life, I love taking care of them and I feel proud every time a new leaf appears. It was so much fun to browse plant webshops to search for references, and let me tell you I have some new plants on my wishlist to buy and also to transform to CC.
As I mentioned earlier, I added two pieces to this set that I actually own in real life. I love seeing my own things in the game. :D They are the round bag and sandals and I think they add a cozy, lived-in feel to the space.
I hope you'll like these items because although I had less time to do them but I really loved bringing this entryway to life.
I think I’ll post the poll sometime in the next few days so you can help decide which room comes next. Thank you everyone for all the nice comments and feedback, it feels really good to know you like using my CC!
The Set Includes
Hallway Table
Floor Mirror
Rattan Plant Stand
Ficus Amstel Plant
Dracaena Plant
Maranta Plant
Wall Hats and Fan
Rattan Pouf
Vintage Rug
Rattan Key Bowl
Rattan Round Bag

Clear Sims 4 Cache: Fix Lags, Errors & Slow Loading (Windows & macOS)
Sometimes The Sims 4 starts acting weird: little bugs pop up, thumbnails don't display right, and loading times get a bit longer than usual. These are all pretty normal signs that it's time to clear your game cache. Deleting temporary files is a good habit for any player – it helps keep things tidy and makes everything run a little smoother. Let's figure out together what cache is, why you need to clear it, and how to do it properly and safely.
Tumblr media
What is cache and where does it come from?  
In The Sims 4, cache means temporary files and folders that the game creates to speed up loading, store thumbnails, save mod info, log errors, and handle various in-game processes.  
Every time you start or play the game, it generates or updates some of these files. Cache is there so the game “remembers” which thumbnails and objects you’ve used lately, finds things quickly, and saves certain settings and operational data.
The cache includes:  
— Images (thumbnails) of Sims, lots, and objects;  
— Temporary settings and launch data;  
— Working data from mods and scripts;  
— Logs about errors, crashes, memory limit overflows, etc.
Tumblr media
Why do you need to clear the cache?  
If you don’t clear the cache regularly, it builds up old or corrupted data – which can lead to all sorts of problems:
Lags and long loading times because of excess or broken files;
Errors and crashes, especially after removing or updating mods or the game itself;
Wrong thumbnails showing: for example, an item is deleted but its thumbnail is still there;
Mod and script bugs due to leftover data;
Endless loading screens, crashes, or even corrupted saves;
Overall drop in performance.
This happens especially often if you use a lot of custom content or actively add/remove mods.
How often should you clear your cache?
1. After every game update.
2. Whenever you make changes to the Mods folder (adding, deleting, or updating mods).
3. If you notice weird bugs, really long loads, crashes, or errors.
How to clear Sims 4 cache (Windows and macOS)  
Step 1  
Exit the game. Never clear cache while the application is running.
Step 2  
Open The Sims 4 folder:  
Documents — Electronic Arts — The Sims 4
Step 3  
Delete the following files and folders (important – not all of the folders or files listed below will always be in your The Sims 4 folder, and that's totally normal):
General cache  
— cache (folder): holds temporary data (mostly image previews from the Gallery); this folder gets filled only while the game is running, so you can safely clear it between sessions  
— cachestr (folder): cache for script mods  
— onlinethumbnailcache (folder): thumbnails of Gallery items  
Tumblr media
— avatarcache.package: used mainly to fix Gallery errors on Mac, but can grow quite large  
— localsimtexturecache.package: cache of composite sim textures (max size – 100 MB); deleting helps solve character display issues  
— localthumbcache.package: thumbnail file; it’s useful to delete this from time to time, and absolutely after adding, deleting or updating mods  
— UserData.lock: auxiliary or temporary service files, may pile up  
— ReticulatedSplinesView: auxiliary or temporary service files, may pile up  
— notify.glob: auxiliary or temporary service files, may pile up  
— ConnectionStatus.txt: auxiliary or temporary service files, may pile up  
Tumblr media
Error logs  
— lastCrash.txt (all files)  
— lastException.txt (all files)  
— lastUIException.txt (all files)  
Tumblr media
These log crashes and game errors. Most players don’t need these, but if you’re having constant errors you can show them on forums for troubleshooting. Old ones (with numbers) can always be deleted.
Auxiliary folders (delete only if empty)  
— ConfigOverride
— Recorded Videos  
— Screenshots  
Tumblr media
Step 4 (optional)  
You can take it a step further and clear cache files built up by certain mods:  
— BE-ExceptionReport.html (all files)  
— BE-UIExceptionReport.html (all files)  
— WickedWhimsInfoLog.log / WonderfulWhimsInfoLog.log  
Important: Don’t delete the Saves, Tray, or Mods folders – these are your games and custom content.
Step 5  
Restart the game. Sims 4 will automatically recreate all the necessary files from scratch. You may need to re-enable mods and CC in the game settings after clearing the cache.
You can make it easier  
For players who want to cut down on the routine, there’s an automated solution – a Cleanup Script for Windows by @andirz-mods. This is a special one-click utility that automatically deletes all recommended temporary files and error logs, without touching your mods or save files.
It automates the cleanup, but you’ll need a Patreon subscription to the author for access.  
So, to make sure you can always tidy things up quickly on your own (without scripts or third-party programs), keep this guide handy:

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.

Base Game Addon (Pt. 1)
Hello! I'm back with another addon. This one is little different from my previous ones since it's a Base Game addon, meaning you don't need to own any packs to use it!
This addon focuses on completing the dining table and sofa collections, increasing the versatility of various wall decorations and adding more flexible shower options. I may make more Base Game addons in the future!
Including various separated artworks, there's just over 100 items included in this addon, making it my largest addon ever!
Unlike previous addons, this one is completely Base Game Compatible. You can easily find the items in buy mode by searching for "Base Game Addon" using the in-game search function.
Merged package and separated zip versions are available. Be sure to download only one option.
Downloads: Patreon (free)
Install
To install, place the .package files into your Mods folder found, by default, in My Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods. Alternatively, you can place the individual .package files from the separated ZIP into it’s own folder within the Mods folder to keep things tidy.

Casanova Expanded - Unofficial Kit addon with 14 edits and 4 New items
The latest kits are a cool concept; basing the theme on an iconic character. However, splitting the budget between CAS and BB items leaves BB lacking (CAS stands on it's own for the most part). So you know what that means? New items. Some other people had the same idea so hopefully mine feels unique enough to stand on it's own.

I converted world objects into purchase objects.
You can of course also unlock objects using the cheat "bb.showhiddenobjects". But that's too complicated for me.
