The Hacienda Getaway (CC Pack for The Sims 4)

Welcome to "El Agave" Hacienda Resort!

Hey, Simmers! With the arrival of the "Ciudad Enamorada" world in The Sims 4 Lovestruck, I couldn't resist recreating a beautiful spot I visited last year in Los Cabos, Mexico.

This CC Pack is all about an old hacienda where they produce the finest tequila. Even though I'm not a big drinker, the place was simply magical! Of course, I had to try a couple of Paloma cocktails and some tequila shots – when in Rome, right? 🍹

In this pack, you'll discover a treasure trove of old archways, grand double doors, and windows made of wood, clay, and iron, all available in open versions to bring your spaces to life. Plus, there's a full set of cozy, leather-style living room furniture where your Sims can chat, relax, or get a little romantic. 💕

I had a blast crafting the rustic coffee table and console with carved wood finishes. The iron chandeliers add an authentic old-world charm, and the mud planters with cacti are a perfect touch of the local flair. 🌵

But wait, there's more! I've added new flowers, a traditional-style rug, rustic painting frame, cushions, armchair, cool beams for your ceiling, beautiful terracotta tiles, and of course, a tequila set to make it all complete.

I had a lot of fun creating this set, reminiscing about one of the best vacations I've had. I hope to go back soon, but in the meantime, my Sims can enjoy a bit of that life.

Dive into the fun with this custom content for The Sims 4, and as always, happy simming!

Inside Out, Outside In

Sarah, our Art History blogger, has been mulling over some art pairings that span culture, geography, history, and style. In this week's article, she investigates a pairing Frida Kahlo's The Two Fridas with Dogon's seated couple. #MarywoodArt #ArtHistory

Now that my second to last undergraduate finals season is over (say that 5 times fast), I feel like I can finally unveil what my brain has been mulling over for the past semester. The problem here is there’s just so much of it it’s impossible to choose where to start. For the sake of ease, I might as well just start with what’s most finished and work my way through from there, but that’s not to…

"SELF-PORTRAIT WITH CROPPED HAIR" FRIDA KAHLO // 1940 [oil on canvas | 15 3/4 x 11"]

"Personal isolation—its pain and its strength—is a recurring force across the sixty self-portraits Kahlo painted in her career and for which she became celebrated. 'I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone,' Kahlo once explained, 'because I am the person I know best.'"
