Here is the first item that I've finished for the next set! Textures have been upscaled. I tried to use decimate on this object, but it caused many areas to become mis-shaped and not matching up correctly (window corners sticking out the sides of the vehicle, for example).

The in-game image shows the size compared to some deco sims. I put a sitting one inside the excavator. The dirt pile is from a gardening set I made awhile back (scaled up in game with the keyboard cheat), and the little barricade/sign is a conversion by BrittPinkie (one of my fav retired creators) and you can find that item in the Fast Lane conversion set that she made.

I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend!

Update: I've messed with the sizes a good bit, to make sure things match. I am going to try making the bulldozer plow gray on all the swatches instead of being the same color as the entire machine, and see how it looks. I have a feeling it will just look better overall.

Update: Added more previews of finished items ☺️ The scaffolds are also part of the set. A note per yesterday's idea about the bulldozers: making the plow piece of the bulldozer did not, in fact, make it look nicer. I googled some IRL ones and it seems that it is typical for the front end to be the same color as the rest of the vehicle, so I will keep them this way.

Update: More preview images added 💗

Update: (early in the morning may 10th) More preview images added, the shelf and tool cart have slots. 25 items so far! Still a few more to go ☺️

Update: currently at 31 items, images for preview.

Update: (May 10-11) I spent most of my free time today upscaling the rest of the images for this set, resizing them to the correct proportions (Sims 4 object textures need to be in the 64-126-256-and so on, format if anyone is interested in that. The Animal Crossing item images are incorrect proportions 90% of the time 😄) Object meshes that looked odd due to their being meant to fit with the chibi-style characters of AC have been edited. I finished one more item for this set, and am hoping to make a few more swatches for the wooden ad sign (the one to the left side of the most recent image) it was a little test item, but I think it turned out pretty cute, so I would like to add just a few more. I hope everyone is having a nice week 💗

Update: Swatches added to sigh (see new gif) and am testing one more of the items in game. Should I liberate tools from the tool boxes?
