WIP

Here is the first item for the vacation/travel/summery set, the retro gas pump. Someone wanted this item pretty badly so I'm super happy to finally get to make it for this set, since the first order of business before a road trip is the gas station ☺️ Here is a gif with all the swatches in Sims4Studio (I added a couple extra), I am trying to get a pic of it in game, but one of my lots keeps freezing in build mode & I keep having to replace everything 🙃 I'm putting it on a different lot, then. I'll have an in-game pic soon, and I was going to make a second version that was mirrored, but I realized the item is exactly the same when you turn it around, so it can just be rotated for some nice placement in game.
Update:
Here is an in game pic of the gas pump 💗
Update:
So what also goes with a road trip? I started working on one of the car vehicle items (it's really cute) but ran into a really annoying issue that has come up before (for those who remember, it was the hanging TV in the Coffee Shop Stuff set, where the UV mapping wants to revert back to a main size and placement even after I have edited, saved it, and imported the new version. I've posted a couple images and gifs above to try to explain it. When I run into this, I do try my hardest at another shot of figuring out why it happens & how to fix it. I've been messing with this car for a good while now tonight, I think I may have to resort to what I have found as my work-around for this and just use a different base item to make it on. It's so strange when this happens, because there is no consistency with reasoning as to why. I will figure it out one day, but I don't like one object to take up too much time when doing a poll set, so moving on for now. I may save the car(s) for last in order to mess with them just a little bit more at the end.
Update (4 am Sunday morning):
You can always tell when I've got pain insomnia when I'm making updates in the middle of the night 🙃💗 I did some image texture improvement for some of the object files, not all yet, and made the popcorn machine. It looks pretty cute on the beach. I added a few extra swatches for this item as well, some so that the tires are black, and I made a Halloween-looking one that is purple and black with green popcorn.

Update (Sunday early evening):
I added the popcorn snack item, a separate file for each type, there are salt & cola, salt & ice coffee, caramel & ice tea, salt & orange soda, caramel & melon soda, and curry popcorn with berry soda. They are all one object on a tray, but if I have time at the end of making everything else, I thought it might be nice to have the drink and popcorn container liberated. I like this item because it reminds me of food you buy at a beach or amusement park ☺️
Update (Sunday continued):
Added the lifeguard chair, and it is functional! The sim gets up there by facing forward and just floating up. Added a couple extra swatches as well.
Update (Sunday continued):
Added the plastic lounge chair, and used the base game lounge chair as the base item, so your sim can sit on it. When you choose for them to relax or nap, they will not lie all the way down like the chair is positioned, they will use the same animation that is attached to the base item. I'm going to mess with the mesh some more and see if I can move the back without it looking too strange. I added a bunch of recolors to this seat, and improved the coloring on the existing ones, they were fairly dull.
Update (Sunday continued):
Fixed the back of the chair so that it makes a little more sense when the sim is "relaxing" or napping.
Update (Sunday night):
Added the Parasol that was connected to the double chairs that look the same as the plastic lounger we already have here. The parasol is an item to stick in the ground to give shade for the seating. Added swatches to match the others I added to the chair.
Update (continued, late Sunday night):
Added the lounger that has cushions. I tried to make a brand new item with it and import the tunings for the base game lounger, but the sims do not want to do the sit action, only the relax, nap, and sunbathe. I am going to try to make a new image for both mesh groups (the frame and cushions) and make it straight on the same item I made the other one instead of importing the tunings.

Update (Monday early evening):
I made a new version of the cushioned lounge chair, and everything is working as it should! ☺️
Update (Monday continued):
Added the eco bag as a beach tote with a couple extra swatches, and an open book, same with extra swatches. I also added a slot to the lounger chairs because why not? Now there can be an object on the chair too.
Update (Monday continued):
Added the hammock item as decor. It has many swatches for frame and fabrics.
Update (Late Monday night/early Tuesday morning):
Added a magazine with multiple swatches, and a set of marshmallows on sticks: a group of 3 lying down for on a table or the ground, a single lying down, and 3 different single ones that go in the ground around the campfire. They have extra swatches to look untoasted, and another stick color.
Update (Tuesday 4:30 AM)
Added the shaved ice maker, added extra swatches, and liberated the little cup so more cups can be placed.

Update (Tuesday early evening):
Added the bathroom slippers and flower shoes as shoe clutter items. Added extra swatches to the slippers. I love all the cute little shoes from ACNH, and I really love shoe clutter for Sims ☺️ I hope everyone is having a good week 🌺
Update (4:09 AM Wednesday morning):
Added 2 decor hats (the outdoor hat & the tulip hat), and the curved reception desk. The desk requires Get To Work, I made it with the functional retail counter as the base.
Update (almost 6 AM Wednesday morning):
Added the hibiscus & plumeria flowers as decor. All swatches included.

Update (Wednesday early evening):
Added the Nintendo Switch decor, 2 versions. One up, with the little stand in the back, and one down. It has 2 original swatches.
Update (Wed. continued):
Added an item that I already tried once, I got it working this time, the frozen drink machine decor.
Update (Wed. continued):
I'm sooo happy to say that I got the car working! 🥳 I fixed the mapping, then exported my mesh to a .obj file, and imported it back in and that has fixed the issue. Added a pink swatch for fun. I also added a little "extra" item (liberated from a structure), this little papers holder for travel-related things.
Update (continued):
Added the compact car (1980 Fiat), all original swatches included.
