Hey everyone, I hope that you're all having a good Friday 💗

Here is the first item for our poll winner (more witchy decor), The Green Man wall decor. I've tried to make one of these before in a strictly Maxis Match style, this one is inspired by one I saw irl. He has 4 swatches for different levels of sort-of MM to alpha texture. See above gif for the swatches and in-game.
Update (Friday early evening):
Added a "magic" suitcase, it functions like a dresser so your sim can change their clothes. I gave the straps a bunch of swatches.
Update (Friday 9 PM):
Added a "witches brew" cauldron wall decor sign, also inspired by one I saw irl. I also made a Maxis Match, simlish swatch. I mapped the back so that it isn't backwards, so it will look cute and correct hanging in a window.

Update (Saturday afternoon):
Added 2 geodes, 1 bigger and 1 smaller, with 8 swatches for the inside quartz crystals. Added a jeweled spider decor, also with lots of swatches. I thought they'd look so pretty in the sand, and they pretty much are blending in, I'll get a better preview pic once I'm back in game testing more items. I hope everyone's Saturday is going well! This morning after making the geodes I walked to the supermarket, it's such a pretty day.
Update (Saturday early evening):
Added some potion stuff: A potion bottle, a bowl with a spoon and potion in it, and just a spoon. As you can see above the glass texture has something weird going on but I will fix that. The bowl has a steam & non-steam version.

Update (Sunday early evening):
Here is a pic in game of the issue I'm trying to fix on this potion bottle. I didn't want to have to replace the entire glass texture with one of my own, because I like the detail it has, but it keeps having these "holes" in game. They aren't showing up in Sims 4 Studio. If I make the layer I've added too opaque, the glass looks dirty, and well, just too opaque. I've included a pic of the potion with my own glass texture above. I think this one will do, what do you think?
Update (Sunday almost midnight):
I have been messing with this jar night light for sooo long now. It's still not right, see above. What it's supposed to be, is a night light jar, with stars floating inside. The self-illumination shader is lighting up too bright, so I need to figure out how to make it dimmer, as it's drowning out the stars on the inside.
Update (Sunday 12:15 AM):
I keep messing with the shaders in Sims 4 Studio for this item, and this is what it looks like now. It's still not supposed to look like what it looks like, and I believe I've done so much to this file that it's become corrupted (no glowing at all as shown above), so I'm going to import my work to a new package file. I am going to have to give my eyes and brain a rest and go to bed soon, I haven't been feeling very well today so I hate to burn the candle at both ends. But I'll be back to this item tomorrow. It's supposed to be a cute, glowing night light. I hope everyone has a nice rest of their day 💗

Update (Monday early afternoon):
I finally got this item to work properly! 🥳 I remade it again in a different way. It has 5 swatches for the stars.
Update (Monday continued):
I added the rest of the swatches to the package file and looked at it in game, and realized that I have to make a new package file for each color. The glow has a setting with a color, which is set to match the stars on the inside so that it makes sense. With the yellow light, the yellow light color drowns out the color of the stars. Above is the purple swatch made as it's own item with the correct color glow.
Update (Monday 2:15 PM):
Added all items for colors. Preview image above.

Update (Tuesday early afternoon):
I've been working on a shelf for bathtubs, because I feel like there is a shortage of this type of item and I personally love using them to decorate. I've added lots of slots, and so far just 1 swatch (with some kitty and bat embossing) while I made it fit/the correct height, etc. The item itself has a deco slot size of 0 so it will not snap anywhere, it can easily just be moved over the top of the tub (bb.moveobjects ON). I've included a pic of it in game above, now that the item is made I'm making more swatches with cute, witchy imagery. If you like the bath bomb water in the pic and would like it, you can download that here (it has for both regular and the large, triangle -shaped tubs).
Update (Tuesday continued):
Above is a gif of the swatches I've added for the bathtub shelf 💗

Update (Wednesday 5:14PM):
This morning I added these dropper bottles, shown above. It has lots of swatches. In the preview image I have them sized down once in game with the keyboard scaling keys. Does anyone have any suggestions for witchy decor items for this set? If it's something I can do, I'd love to add it 💗
Update Wednesday 11 PM):
Added 3 more potion items, shown above. 2 contain plants, I've given the 3rd one with liquid multiple swatches.
Update Wed. night/Thursday morning 1:30):
I've been going through some files trying to decide what more to include. So far we have 20 files, 5 of them are the jar of stars so that each color can emit light of the same color. So I want to add a few more items so that it is 20 unique items not including the extra colors of the jar. If anyone has anything they would like added to this set, please let me know, I am hoping to get this wrapped up and posted tomorrow. I'm also trying to come up with something fun for after the poll items, since I feel like this month's poll was kind of a bust. I hope everyone is having a nice Wednesday! Remember to be good to yourselves
💗

Update (Thursday 5 PM):
Added 2 stacks of books. One has a slot on top so they can be stacked. There are 4 swatches each.
Update (Thursday a bit later):
Added another couple of book items, it's an open spellbook, 2 versions for face up and face down. The original EA mesh didn't have a back on the book as shown in the above gif, so I did my best to add it.
Update (Thursday early evening):
Added 3 versions of a ceramic artisian mug: with & without steam and a drink inside, & empty. 15 swatches for this item. I am going to get started on the preview pics for the post, this should be up a bit later 💗💗💗
