Sunwoven - Patio

Hey everyone!

Sorry for being a little late with this release. I originally planned to post it last weekend, but I always underestimate how much time swatches and photo editing actually take! But now it’s finally here, and I’m so happy to share it with you!

This set (and the upcoming ones in this theme) is really close to my heart. Around this same time last year, I made the Mediterranean Build Collection, and it looks like summer always brings out my Mediterranean side! I originally planned a multi-part boho collection, but I couldn’t resist mixing in those Mediterranean vibes.

If you’re curious about my thought process behind the set, I wrote more about it in an earlier WIP post—so I won’t go into all that again. But basically, I’ll be doing more parts in this series, focusing on different areas and rooms of a home. The first stop is the patio, and I got really inspired by lemon trees.

You’ll notice I included a few slightly opened doors, they function just like the regular closed ones, and Sims can walk through them without any issues.

The lemon tree has orange and lime swatches too, and some versions come without the pot, so you can use them in gardens as well!

All windows come in single and double versions, and in three sizes: small, medium (to fit kitchen counters), and tall (for short wall height only). Each one has a closed and opened version. I added slots to the window sills. They technically work, but they’re a bit fussy. From two angles you can place items just fine, but from the others, the game kind of forgets they're there and refuses to do it :D I decided to keep the slots anyway in case you still find them useful because I'm going to make some cute flowers next.

I hope you like this set, I had so much fun making pictures of it. I'm really proud of how the door turned out! Lastly I want to thank you for reaching 27 000 followers on Patreon! For me this is such a huge number, I can't believe I'm writing this post to that many people! I really hope you have fun with my items, that is my main goal! Let me know your thoughts!

The 3rd part of the Wisteria Whisk collection is now free to download on my Patreon. This set is themed around a commercial bakery kitchen featuring a functional oven, fridge and stand mixer.

Wisteria Whisk - Part 3

Hey everyone!

Finally I'm finished with the new set which is the 3rd and last part of the Wisteria Whisk Collection and I'm so excited to share it with you. I'm really sorry for the delay, I had planned to release it earlier, but as some of you know, I took a one-week break to start the Camino in Northern Spain. After that, I had to catch up and ran into a few small issues with the mixer.

But we're here now, and I'm truly proud of how it turned out. This part is inspired by the all-metal look and feel of commercial kitchens in bakeries and restaurants. My main focus was to create a cohesive set that can fully furnish a space like that.

My favourite item of the set is the stand mixer, I just love the bright swatch colors I chose for it.

This time, I don’t have a long explanation for each item, they’re all pretty straightforward.

As I mentioned at the beginning of the post, this is the final part of the Wisteria Whisk Collection. Now I’ll be starting something new, and we’re heading back into residential territory. As always I'm really excited to be doing something new! I'll keep you updated about it shortly!

This time, I didn’t forget to save the kitchen as a room and upload the tray files for you, so you can easily get everything included in this set. You’ll still need to download the package files , but if you’d rather not use the search function in-game, just place the tray files in your Tray folder, the room will then show up in your Gallery.

Since some of you asked, in the coming weeks, I’ll be uploading new variations of the kitchen set from the first part, along with a floor tile that matches the wall from the second part.

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to let me know. I really hope you all have a wonderful day or night, wherever you are! I'm so grateful for all of you!

WIP #64

Hey everyone!

Last WIP post and hopefully this weekend this set will come out! I'm still working on some textures and want to finish the table, so there's a bit left to do, but we're almost there.

I’ve made three window heights, each with open and closed versions, plus a single version of the door.

I reworked the lemon tree a little because I didn't like how the leaves looked, that took a day to finish but finally I'm much more satisfied with the outcome. I made a smaller tree as well and they will come with potted and unpotted options (both within one catalog item) so you can use them in gardens or on patios. I decided not to make them change with the seasons, since citrus trees don’t really go through dramatic changes throughout the year anyway.

Right now I’m experimenting with wall colors, and this color combo got me so inspired I had to take a few shots and share it with you!

I'm so excited to share this set! Can't wait to finish it just so I can start the next one! :D I think I'll continue with more outdoor items focusing more on gardening.

[valiasims]

WIP #63

Hey everyone!

I'm here to show you the next WIP! I didn’t get as much done as I hoped since my sister came to visit and we spent a few days together.

The first thing I did was redoing the UV map for the rattan chair. Someone suggested I shold make a loveseat version and I always try to link the textures between similar items, so I had to adjust it for that.

Next up, I wanted to make a wallpaper and I won’t lie, I spent so much time on it because I just wasn’t happy with how my early attempts looked. I almost gave up and thought about leaving it out of the set, but I really hate giving up on things, so I kept pushing through (even though I didn’t have much time.

The version you can see in the picture above is what I finally came up with, and I’m somewhat satisfied with it. It gives off the vibe I was going for!

This was one of my earlier tries, but I really didn’t like the quality, so I decided to separate the cracks into decals and go for a “cleaner” base wall instead. I do like the colors though, so I’ll include some swatches in this style!

And lastly, I made the crack/damage decal. I’ll work on a few more tomorrow. I really love using the in-game ones, they can add so much character to a building.

Also, I wanted to show you the other side of the door because I’m really liking how the hardware turned out.

Next up: I really need to do the windows and finish the texture for the citrus tree. I also want to make a table to go with the patio furniture. So many tasks, so little time! :D

At this point, I can already tell I won’t have time to finish everything I had planned for the outdoor theme in this set, so I’ll continue it in the next part as well. I want to make more plants and gardening pieces, but that’ll come later!

[valiasims]

WIP #62

Hey everyone!

Here’s a little WIP for you! I managed to make a slightly open version of the door because I wanted to capture that lived-in feeling like someone just stepped inside.

I also finished the rattan armchair, which might just be my favorite piece of CC I’ve ever made! I’m so proud of how it turned out. The table in the picture is from the game, but I plan to make a similar mosaic-style one to match the vibe.

I’ve started working on a lemon tree as well, it’s not quite finished yet since I still need to paint some details on the texture.

And finally, I made terracotta tiles. I like how they look in game, I tried out a different method for making them and I really like the look. This experiment made me want to learn 3D Designer and make some cool looking floors and walls.

In the last couple of days I'm a little busier because my sister and her family visited me and they're spending some days here, but I'm trying to catch up and continue the work on this next set after they left. I'm really excited to add in the windows to pull together the vision I had for this collection. And as you can see from the picture I installed the Relight shader for my Gshade and I had fun trying it out. It gives the option to add some light sources in your game and the lighting looks so much better with it!

I hope you’re liking how everything is coming together so far! Have a nice day or night!

WIP #61

Hey everyone!

I'm here with the first wip photo of the new set and new theme I started working on! This time, my idea is a little mix of different styles, and I’ll try my best to explain what I’m aiming for. It seems like at the start of every summer, I get into a really Mediterranean mood, I mean last year at the exaxt same time I made the Mediterranean build set. :D

My idea started a little different than this but I can't help it, I just feel really inspired by this style. So I mixed my original idea with the Mediterranean style.

I originally wanted to do a boho-themed set with multiple parts, similar to the Cozy Cabin Collection, but I felt like it needed something extra and I wasn’t sure what that would be. I knew I wanted to include nature and maybe even gardening.

Then I came across all these beautiful images from Mallorca and Ibiza, and they featured so many rattan furniture which I had already planned to make for the boho theme. That’s when I decided, I could blend the two styles and create a Mediterranean-inspired set with boho elements. And of course, gardening.

These sets will feel very personal to me, like most of my CC, they reflect things I’d actually love to have in my own home. The subtle Mediterranean vibe, the cozy boho touches, and all the plants, I feel that's what I'd love my future home to be.

I promise this first set won't be only doors and windows. :D I know that’s not the most exciting stuff, so I’m planning to combine them with a patio set and include some furniture you can actually use outdoors. I also want to create a gardening table or whatever it’s called in the game. :D

I thought it could be a fun idea because most gardening CC I’ve seen tends to be farmhouse-style, which I do love, but I think it might be interesting to see gardening items in a different aesthetic.

Thank you for reading this long ass post! I hope you're excited for this new theme, cause I plan to make a bathroom, kitchen, living room for sure. And I’ve also been thinking about possibly making new bougainvillea plants—because let’s be honest, the ones in the game just don’t do them justice! I absolutely love them in real life. I see them everywhere around here and they’re just breathtaking, like something out of another world. And then... there are the in-game ones. They would definitely fit into this first set, but I actually have something else planned. So if I end up making them, it’ll have to be a little later. Still, I wanted to throw the idea out there, let me know if you’d be interested in seeing new bougainvillea plants.

Have a nice day/night!

WIP#60

Hey everyone!

I'm almost finished with the next set! I spent 3 days working on the mixer because something wasn't working properly and I had to troubleshoot and modeling it was a long process as well. I still haven't finished its texture but wanted to show you how it looks in game.

I made some clutter items which you can see in the picture, I still need to make textures for some of them. Hopefully I can do these last tasks tomorrow, do the pictures for the post and publish this set in the evening. Wish me luck!

[valiasims]

The second part featuring the baked goods is now out for free on my Patreon! And keep an eye out because in the next couple of days I'm gonna upload the 3rd part.

Wisteria Whisk - Part 2

Hey everyone!

The second part of the Wisteria Whisk collection is here! This time, I wanted to add lots of decorative food to help fill up your bakeries. I made new shelves which can showcase all basket and tray pastries I made for this set. As I mentioned in an earlier WIP post, I tweaked the wood colors a bit, so I also went back and updated the previous set with the new shades. If you want everything to match nicely, please redownload the first set!

Some additional information: The tray holder has slots that fit the tray items perfectly! It might be a bit tricky to find the exact placement, but the slots are in the center of each layer, so aim for that.

The baskets of baked goods and tray of sweets have multiple mesh variations, so changing the swatch will not only change the color but also the object itself. This way they don't take up too much catalog space.

The shelves include rotated slots, which I had to set as fixed so if you place there an item it stays rotated. If you want to reset the rotation of a slotted item, just place it somewhere else first, then it will return to its default straight position.

I hope you’ll enjoy this set as much as I enjoyed making it, though I have to admit, working on all these food items made me very hungry during texturing. :D

As I mentioned earlier, I’ll be starting the third part of the collection a little later, since I’ll be walking the Camino de Santiago next week. So there won’t be any WIPs during that time but once I’m back, I’ll jump into working on the next (and probably final) part of the bakery set. Though who knows, that might still change depending on how I feel.

For the next part, I’m planning to add kitchen items and a coffee bar that matches the other display pieces. I’m really excited to get started on it!

Let me know what you think of this set or if you run into any issues! I was so frustrated today, was almost done when I spotted a small problem and ended up spending hours fixing it. So I really hope everything works smoothly now!

Lastly thank you so much for reaching 20 000 followers on Patreon! I'm so thankful for all of you!

WIP#59

I’m back with the next WIP post! As I mentioned earlier, this set will probably be released a little later than usual because I really want to finish everything properly. And of course just to make my life a bit more complicated some things had to change during the process of creating this collection.

As you can see, I decided to make a full 5-piece counter set (+1 accent piece). To get the texture to be perfectly seamless, I spent quite a bit of time working on it. Then the already finished sink ended up being a mismatched color with the counters (even though they use the same shaders). So, I had to redo the sink to make sure it blends in nicely with the counter, it’ll now fit right into it. I'm still working on it at the moment.

Hopefully over the next few days I can finally get to the clutter I’ve planned and also the mixer! I can’t release this set without a commercial-looking mixer. And fun fact: after three parts of a collection called Wisteria Whisk, this is the very first actual whisk I’ve made.

As usual, thank you for being patient and being here!

[valiasims]

WIP#58

Hey everyone!

I’ve been working nonstop on this new set, and the days are just flying by! Here's a little work in progress: a new fridge stocked with baking ingredients. Also, you might notice I had to "deglassify" the oven because I couldn't for the life of me get it to work properly.

Since these are functional objects, I’m spending a lot of time making sure everything works just right, so this set might end up with fewer items than usual. For example, I spent three whole days modeling the sink, only to realize I don’t have the knowledge to properly combine the tunings of two different object types. So, I’ve decided to separate the sink and the left-side “counter” piece. This way, they’ll be usable in more flexible ways. I originally wanted the counter/shelf to support both cooking and placing appliances, but I just couldn't combine it with the sink function. (The texture is still work in progress, I just wanted to show you how it looks.)

Since I was away for a week this month, I’m not sure I’ll be able to finish the set by my usual 15–16th release time. But I’m aiming to have everything ready between the 18th and 20th!

I still want to add some clutter pieces and a few more accessories with that commercial kitchen feel, so there’s a bit of work left but I’m excited to bring it all together!

I’m incredibly thankful to all of you! Reaching 22,000 followers is something I never could’ve imagined! I can’t believe there are so many of us here!

WIP#57

Hey everyone!

As I said last week I was away doing the first 150 kilometres of the Camino de Santiago. I don't want to bore you with it but it was an unforgettable adventure and I can't wait to continue it sometime in the future.

After a few days of rest I started to work on the new set. This time, I’m focusing on some kitchen appliances for the bakery’s kitchen, aiming for a more commercial look. The first object I really wanted to make is a big oven which is perfect for baking all those pastries. Sadly only the top oven will be functional because... Sims. But let’s just pretend for the greater good!

It's good to be back and updating you, I missed this community!

[valiasims]

this is so beatiful! Thanks for using my cc for this pretty build

Work in progress: Italian villa turned into a hotel! ❣️

This build is really testing out my laptop, I’ve never build anything this big and with this big amount of CCs. Please pray for my game bc I know it’s going to break lol

All the CCs used for the kitchen are from @pinkbox-anye @felixandresims @valiasims & @syboubou ❣️ and also @sooky88’s beautiful wallpaper!

[valiasims]

thank you for using them ❤️ you're bakery turned out so good

a delightful set from @valiasims ♥

[valiasims]

Heyy! First of all I love your creations, you’re so talented. What are your terms of use about using your CCs in lots up for download? Are you okay with your stuff included in the zip file or do you prefer a link back to your patreon? ☺️

Hey! Thank you so much and thanks for asking. I should hurry making the terms of use 😀 As I said earlier, don't put them behind a paywall other than that I'm okay with including them but it's more appreciated if you link my patreon. I'm not that fussy honestly.

[valiasims]

You are so talented! Your Wisteria Whisk set is blowing me away. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us. Your sets have made playing the game so much more fun :) Hope you’re having a great day!

Hey! You're so nice, thank you so much! I've just walked 30 kilometres today so I'm more than tired but I'm having a nice day full of challenges. Hope you're have a nice day as well!

[valiasims]

Hey there, Valia! 've been looking for your terms of use for a recolor I want to make. What is your policy about that? I would like to share it but on your terms, of course. 🥰 Thanks for the beautiful CC, as always!

Hey! I haven't made one yet. I'm in the middle of creating a new tumblr theme I'll definitely will add a terms of use section. For recolors or conversion I only ask to not put them behind a paywall and please credit me. Thank you for asking!
