Sims 4 - Food update (again, yes...) 2022 November
I finally tried to open another restaurant in my Sims 4 game (the only one I have being a Mc Donald's, shame on me, but I have a lot in Sims 3!), and I fell off my chair from shame when I saw I had so many food items wrongly labeled for restaurants!This supposed to be fixed. Breakfast appear in breakfast, dessert i...
Sims 4 - European road signs
Probably not the most exciting update ever, but it's been requested by a Patreon, for Sims 3. I'm not sure this can be really useful in Sims 4 without a town editor, but I've seen sooooo many creative ways to make "as if" we could edit towns, that I've decided to make a Sims 4 version anyway.
Sims 3 - European road signs for CAW
Probably not the most exciting update ever, but it's been requested by a Patreon, and indeed, I can use this in my game too, so.... here's the CAW versions of the european road signs I had released years ago.They come in two sizes: EA scale, which is huge, and a smaller size, more suitable for cities, maybe? Yo...
Sims 4 - Autumal tea time
I'm not good with Halloween stuff, but I loooooove autumns and the atmosphere of this season, for its light, its smells in the wood, its colors... Also, autumn is the perfect time to cuddle into cushions with a good book, a tea and cookies (and eventually mittens because it can get cold, even if today it's insa...

Sims 4 - Bike park
You know what your school or university might miss? Bicycle parks! OK, it's not as if Sims could use their bikes to travel from a lot to another, but still, it brings a touch of realism to have a bike parking nearby!You'll find here everything you need, including decorative bikes, for adults & children. Then, y...
Sims 3 - Bike park
Tons of new options to park bikes in your game!I've meshed some bike stands (with sometimes a child bicycle alternative), but also awnings and even bike locks, and you can combine all of this as you like.Well, almost.... because I took EA base game bicycles as models, and some other models of bikes don't fit so...
Sims 4 - Pizzas& Pizza Vending Machine
No time to cook and it's so late that pizzerias in town are closed? No panic, your Sims can now buy a pizza at any time at the vending machine! (yeah, vending machines for pizzas are a real thing, at least where I live! :D)For this, I have create five new pizzas that can be bought from the vending machine, or even ...
Sims 3 - Pizza vending machine
Too late to cook? The pizzeria is closed? Buy a pizza at a vending machine! Yes, it's a real thing, there's one where I live, and it seems to be quite popular! :DAs you can guess, this requires Arsil's Food Maker, but also DarkShadow's buyable pizzas. I created the NMGPs to "call" the pizzas, an...
Sims 4 - Major update for clutter, food & drinks
It's been said September would be the month of the Major Fixes!For years, a problem has been driving me crazy in Sims 4: the need to use Moveobjects on to place some of my objects.For example, you put pens in a pot, and bam, you'd need to use MOO to place the pot with the pens on the desk, with the risk of seei...
Sims 3 - Major update for ALL food & drinks
I had told you about that project some time ago, I began to work on it in June and keep working on it all summer long... I remade all my food & drinks!As you know, I'm a BIG fan of Arsil's food maker and I wanted to make its use easier for all because I can't say it enough: it's a GREAT mod. Imagine, yo...

Sims 4 - For tea lovers
More items for tea lovers! The Gong fu cha set is decorative because its cups are so small that Sims couldn't handle them correctly, it comes with 2 different tea boats with many slots, so you can arrange them as you enjoy, hopefully! The Gaiwans come in two versions: decorative AND drinkable (as cup)Last, the Toko...

Sims 3 - A collection file for teapots & cups
A collection file gathering all my teapots and cups (filled or empty, so it also includes old objects); I put each time the teapot near its matching tea cup.Reminder: a collection file does NOT include the objects themselves, it's only a catalog.
Sims 4 - Cheap & tiny old TV vs Expensive big curved screen
I've been requested to make a cheap TV like in Sims 1 (it's a new mesh, it's not a Sims Online conversion though it's indeed directly inspired by Sims 1 model), it's a standalone TV that you can put wherever you want, including on its very own Sims 1 inspired stand! I know there's already one co...

Suggestions - Around tea
Is there any tea amateurs, here? :)I'm going to make one or two other updates about tea in the next weeks/months. Is there anything you'd like to see? A teapot you had always dreamt about? Tea accessory? For example, the next update will include tea boat(s?)
Sims 4 - Functional teapots (Updated 2022, Sept 4th)
I hope you enjoy tea because I have a couple of updates for this thema in the future! :DI've remade all my decorative teapots as functional teapots, offering a tea in a cup matching with the teapot (except for the elephant one, based on my very own teapot and mistmached mugs!). With these teapots, you can serve one...
Sims 3 - Functional teapots
I hope you enjoy tea because I have a couple of updates for this thema in the future! :DSims 3 are luck, they have different ways to get their favorite drinks! They can get a tea from a Food Maker, requiring you to enter the name of the drinks you'd like to get from a certain teapot. To make things easier, for each...
Suggestions - Stationary
For September (don't worry, other updates are planned for august!), I'd like to make something for the start of the school year and to "celebrate" High school pack. I have already a list of items I'd like to have, but if you have anything you'd like to see, please mention it here!
Sims 4 - Industrial cookies
You might remember that long time ago, I had asked you which industrial cookies you'd liketo have in game... and because I'm slow, you probably thought I had given up the project, but nope!Here's a collection of industrial cookies for our Simmies, directly inspired by real cookies, but in simlish!Each cooki...

Babble... :)
It has something good to be slow!When I first heard about the EA policy, I was about to catch a train to get my man and his broken shoulder to Paris for another x-ray, so I hadn't the time to read seriously about that, plus I had found that the Sims 4 beds were broken, and I really wanted to fix that (partially fai...
Sims 4 - Updated beds #1
I might be a bit too optimistic by naming this "#1" because I don't know if it will be possible to have a #2, actually.I've updated all my "normal" beds: single, double and bunk beds (I wasn't sure these ones needed to be updated, but in doubt, I did it)But, so far, I can't get any doubl...
