More Cottagecore

Another little green cottage started tonight.

[simmergetic]

Latest WIP!

A quaint cottage inspired by a photo I used chatGPT to make, using various prompts.

Honestly, I’m not too thrilled with the idea of using AI for creativity… but it certainly helps when you’re struggling to paint the image that’s in your head. :)

Think I’ll make several houses of this style in the future.

Love these!

Someone very kindly let me know that one of mutske's Victorian Gables I converted for the 2019 Daisy Chain was throwing a testingcheats error. I've updated the archive linked at GoS (hidden gift) but here are just the fixed files. Sorry for the problem!

Roof Match Mania!

“A Bit Steep” Mansard Roofing

I love the deco roof pieces that came with Apartment Life and Mansion & Garden Stuff, I really do. But my main issue with them has always been that they don’t have all the roof patterns, and in fact only Mansion & Garden Stuff came with matching roof patterns, so I couldn’t mix and match without my obsessive compulsive tendencies going haywire!

So I fixed it!

Now the AL and M&G roof pieces have (almost) all the Maxis roof patterns from Basegame, University, and Bon Voyage!

Preview and Download below the cut!

Does anyone know what happened to @lesyasun?

She has a wonderful Graphics Guide that I link to new Sims 2 players all the time. I was able to find in on the Wayback Machine and while I’m glad the guide still exists, I am still so saddened. Absolutely loved her gameplay pictures, posts and helpful tips. If she’s under a different username, please reply with a link, as I would love to continue following her.

Thank you in advance.

Finally had a chance to work a little on this family-home build. Recovering from surgery so haven't been able to open my game for a week or so, until today. Still fine-tuning and adding details...

Floating OMSP (animated)

plus standard floating and sea-level omsp

Download (SFS)

*decor objects in the previews have been placed on SilentLucidity's *90 degrees OMSP, which was then placed on animated omsp.

Tip: outside OMSP by Julsfels is useful for moving the objects outside of the swimming area.

Enjoy!

*This is for The Sims 2

OMSP = one more slot please ;)

Shiftable OMSPs are enough if you want to place decor objects above the pond... Most of the time. But it seems nobody ever shared an omsp that can be placed on pond water surface (??) Weird.. So I made one, but then I thought it would be cool if it was really floating.

I used Echo's skeleton tutorial to add a rotating joint and edit CRES hierarchy to attach placement slot to it. I expected it to be difficult, but it wasn't.

Animation runs automatically in live mode so I recommend you let it play for a few seconds before adding another animated omsp to the lot. That will prevent these from moving in a synchronized way. That's not possible on public lots unfortunately. I hope to improve this object at some point, maybe add a few different animations or add a random few seconds pause before animation starts playing.

(WIP) CC-Free Entertainment Center for TS2!

[simmergetic]

I was working on a quick preview for a wcif I received, but I ended up liking this little cottage so much that I finished decorating the front. It doesn't really fit the style of this hood though, so I'll probably move it to my QAF (quaint as fuck) hood that I haven't started building in yet.

I love cloudy autumn vibes so much

Thanks a ton for mentioning my video! Love these additions! <3

A Kit for (Fake) Above Ground Pools

You may know the technique for raising a pool using the CFE cheat. See this post or this video. The wonky foundation stuff annoyed me. I ended up making "specialized" objects for it: -> A fence with the look of an above ground pool wall. -> Wall and floor coverings to match it. -> A tall ladder and diving board. The fence has two variations, with and without the half-circle pattern on the "external" side. I did my best to have it line up with the wall covering, but it's not perfect. The ladder and diving board are fully functional and animated. Though as you can see, there is some foot sliding, clipping, and snapping into place. Their target height is a pool raised by six clicks. They can be used with an unaltered one, but the snapping will be more obvious. Both are texture-repositoried to their Maxis equivalents. I included a simple set of recolours for those, seen in the first preview picture. Both ladder and diving board can be placed over fences and walls (by the water) without the MoveObjects cheat. However, placement may still be finicky. Place them directly on the ground. Make sure you have enough space for their full footprints, and that your pool water is flat. Thank you to Gayars for helping me test :) (Turns out pool stuff in general can be tricky. Any ladder or diving board placed on a foundation will have Sims swimming through the ground!) -> Download at SimFileShare.
