Here is the first item for our odds and ends set of ACNH items, the tension pole rack. All original swatches & some extras, and lots of slots added to the empty spaces. I will be making a decluttered version of the shelf as well, all of the clutter on it in the above preview (besides the statue of Bastet) is all one mesh. I can also make liberated clutter of the decor items. This item has improved image textures, and new bump & specular maps.
Update (Monday night):
Added the decluttered version, and I've separated the meshes for the individual clutter items. Above, shown as is, and with clutter placed from the ACNH Office set.
Update (Tuesday night):
Today I've been back and fourth from my computer, getting finished what I can. My partner isn't feeling so good today and has been needing some assistance. I've gotten the clutter items all finished, all swatches included with new image textures that aren't enormous with tons of area on the image that isn't being used. Now they are small but still the same quality image. New bump and spec maps, as usual. I added the iron garden bench, which only has 5 original swatches, so I added 5 more. It is a functional base game bench. And Added the zen lowboard. It has a slot for a TV, as well as other slots. I added all swatch combinations so that each frame/table color has each of the rice paper options (with and without painted trees), I also added a green table swatch for both because it looks nice with the peaceful vibe of the zen furniture. I hope everyone is having a nice day ❤️ The bath mat under the clutter in the preview (and the rest of the cat-themed bathroom stuff) is from a Simblreen set here.
Update (Wednesday evening):
Added the umbrella rack, and the TV camera. The umbrella rack has a fabric mesh group and image texture, and with most of the meshes that have fabric, the mapping was broken, so I remapped it to the best of my ability. I also spent some time today improving the image textures for all the items I have set aside so that they're just ready to go.
Update (Wed continued):
Added the rose bed. It uses the BGC cot as the base item. When sims get "into" the bed, their lower half sinks below the surface.
Update (Thursday):
Today I needed to clean the dust from the inside of my computer before doing anything too strenuous on the system. Took apart the whole thing, it needed it very badly especially with the high temperatures (we don't have air conditioning). So after that was done, I've made the cool chair. It's functional, though looking at it in game I still feel like it looks a bit too large so I will be adjusting the size a little more from side to side & front to back. I've added more swatches to the original ones also.
Update (Thursday late at night):
Fixed the sizing on the cool chair. Added the lawn chair, and the plastic pool. I removed the footprint from the pool so you can make your sims stand in it, but poses can also be used. I should probably make a version of the pool without the duck so that it's not in the way for posing. I've added extra swatches to the chairs.
Update (Saturday evening):
Hello everyone! I hope your Saturday is going well. My sincere apologies for the delayed update, our internet went out sometime Saturday in the morning. But I've still been working on our set. It's a big update since I've had nothing much to do on my computer but make CC (and play a little Sid Meyer's Civ before bedtime, does anyone else like that game?)
So for these "signal down" days, I've made the study chair, and the fabric mesh mapping wasn't broken on this one (probably the only item with a fabric mesh that i've seen thus far that wasn't broken and in need of a remap). I ended up going back to this chair also and making it not as wide from side to side and front to back. Also lowered the seat portion. I added another version of the plastic pool that doesn't have the rubber duck, so it can have more versatile use for poses. The rubber duck is a decor item that has already been made, you can find it in this set.
Added the vintage table, as both a coffee table item, and a dining table item. I've also added extra swatches for the wooden ones. There are also some metal swatches for this table. The stools around the dining table version are also from the Bath Set. Added the small covered round table, this one has a lot of swatches for the combinations, but not so incredibly many where it requires separate package files, so they are all in the same file. The fabric mesh was broken on this item, so it needed a remap, I*ve included a pic above from Sims 4 Studio to show what it looks like with the broken mapping, and a pic from Blender that shows the broken pieces on the mapped out section. The result is that the table that has the red under-cloth does not have the golden design on the fringe. (The rose vase is from the Antique Set, and the chairs are from the Valentine's Day Set.) Added the bus stop, it has a functional bench, and the stone lantern. I've done 2 versions of the stone lantern, the original one, and a smaller one for some fun variation. They both have slots for a candle. The candle that will fit nicely in the lanterns is the small candle <HERE> (second post from the top). 22 items so far!
Update (late Saturday night):
Added the broom and dustpan wall object, and 2 extra items of the broom: tilted to lean on walls as a clutter item, and a smaller wall object of just the dust pan and mini broom.
Update (late Saturday night/early Sunday morning 3 AM):
Added the rest of the pillars. I've made separate objects for the different types because they need unique bump maps, and I've added extra swatches to them. I'm taking a break for tonight but am hoping to finish this set up tomorrow.
Update (Sunday night):
Hey everyone, I hope you've all been having a nice weekend. Today my partner and I had to do a bunch of box rearranging in our cellar storage space in the basement of our apartment building. But I've been back to making items, and I think I'm on the last, we have above some previews of the hanging/hanger racks with clothing. There are 2, one is smaller and just metal framing for the rack. The other is larger and has shelves. I've added lots of slots to the empty shelf on the second one (the plant is another clutter in this set). I'm just trying to decide if I should make decluttered versions of these racks? I'm going to liberate the belts and the purse to make into clutter items, just unsure about the decluttered racks. I'm just also trying to finish this up so I can post it and people can finally play with the things. If anyone sees this update, feel free to let me know what you think! ❤️
