Getting started on the set from the poll ☺️🛒

Update: Some pics! I added some pastel swatches to the snack vending, I think they look pretty cute. They have versions for light on and off for each paint color, all done with the way the image is painted. I never saw that before and I think it's pretty neat.

I spent a lot of time editing the gumball machine. The items from Animal Crossing tend to have a chibi-type look, to match the characters in that game. So for The Sims, a lot of the items need to be stretched out in certain areas, and maintained shapes in others (like making the gumball machine taller without changing the shape of the round glass ball, and making the knob and coin slots smaller without affecting the entire mesh) I also added more colors to this item, because it just looks so darn cute.

Update: Added a pic of the drink vending machine. Still working on this item, the mesh, image, and mapping needed to be fixed. Now I'm making the swatches match. This one has a "lights off" option for each paint color as well. I hope everyone had a nice Easter!

Update: The image textures for AC items are never the dimensions they need to be for Sims 4 items and always some very off number, so when I can I upscale the images to provide more detail (sometimes the original image is too small and the upscaling just will not work, but I don't run into that too often, thankfully.) and then resize the image to one of the sizes it needs to be for a sims item (it follows the 128, 256, 512 format, in case anyone is interested in that.) This morning I did this for the grocery bag with food in it. Now moving on to more items ☺️

Update: More pics! The ice cream cases have their own unique swatches for each case color, for different kinds of ice creams. I made extra swatches so that all of the case colors have all of the ice cream options. Still lots more items to add, I'm excited about all of them.

Update: More images ☺️ I am about to start liberating the grouped canned food items so that there are singles of each.

Update: The cans have all been liberated. I've added many slots to the top of the ice cream case for cluttering needs, and some items for a fresh meat & fish section. There is a version of the whole fish without the board underneath so that it can be put in a display. I made a rainbow trout version because I think they are one of the prettiest fish. The packaged fish fillets have multiple swatches for the fish, with all tray swatches for each one. Still quite a few more items to go! It's going to be a large set, and hopefully lots of fun for everybody.

Update: The dessert case had a unique cakes swatch set for each case color, so I did the same thing here and made all the cakes swatches for all of the cases. There are slots for this item as well, and items that go on top of it (a dish of cake slices, and a card in a card holder.) There is also a picture of the coconut oil decor, the cans once again (I was using this image for a size reference) and a cup noodles. I need to make the cup noodles a little bit smaller. There is a version without the lid.

Update: The decluttered refrigerated display that I have the fish in is by one of my fave creators, SrslySims- if you want that item you can get it <HERE> Adding more images of items for this set. Getting closer to being done! 35 files are completed so far. There are just too many things that were too good not to include, and edits that I could do that were too cute not to add ☺️

Update: I am almost finished! More images added above. If things go as planned, this set should be posted tomorrow (April 14th) 3 weeks early access for Patrons.
