CHATEAU Part 5 :)

Hello Hello Hello :),

I swear it's a coincidence that EA just published a Book Nook kit, maybe they have seen my hint from last month :D, joking.

I am thrilled to show you this month's items, a 40-piece modular library. The bookshelves are traditional in style and perfect for a chateau setting, in my opinion :) The Bookshelf can be made from six pieces: two single-tile bookshelves, a 2-tile version, a rounded inside corner, an outside corner, and an extra decorative piece for separation. The bookshelves are full height and you will get short, medium, and tall versions. You will get ladders for the medium and tall versions to spice up this library.

Now let me reveal a little secret, I made functional secret book doors matching the shelves, I included arch versions too :) People have been asking me to make them for years, but don't ask me why it took me so long to create them :D, I loved watching my testing sims walk through the book wall.

To fill up all the space I created 14 clutter items, 9 book pieces in two different styles and various sizes, 2 sculptures, 2 vases, and a box. I matched the slots to the dimensions of my items and everything can be mixed and matched quite well :)

Thank you again for all the support I hope you enjoy using this set!

Happy Simming and lots of Love,

Felix xxx

Okay, THIS. I already have one CC set for a full library, but this is BETTER. I have a Sim that is going to remodel his library now, because he NEEDS THIS LADDER. LOL! Plus his stepson will love the hidden door (he already had to hide from a bad guy once in his life.)

Hey - the books are not functional, my sims can't click on them to read? I've got move objects on but it's not working? Am i doing something wrong?

I know this project is old but I hope you can help. When I use the 'chateau bookshelf extra' on both sides of a bookcase, no matter which swatch or which size or how much lighting I put into the room I use, one of the pieces will *always* change colour. Usually blue. It is totally bizarre and it happens on every build I use them on and it only happens when I use one on each side of a book case. Replacing the piece does nothing and the swatch panel still shows the correct one but the colour is very different. Do you know what might be happening?

Do I need to download any textures because they are missing in my save.

I love love LOVE this set!! I use it in literally every single build. I download every new CC you release, and they are always beyond amazing. I’m currently trying to make a library with shelves on all four walls, and I can’t quite get it to look right. I was wondering if you’d ever consider creating a window seat that aligns with the shelves? For example, just the bottom part continuing without the top (1-tile middle, 1-tile left end, 1-tile right end). It would also be incredible if something similar could be done for the top portion of the tall shelves (the top 3 shelves above the rail), so the shelves could continue above doorways and feel more connected and harmonious. No pressure at all, just wanted to share the idea because I adore your work so much!

Thank you so so much Katie 😘 Hearing that you use my sets in every build is the best compliment ever. And wow - your library idea is FANTASTIC 📚✨ A window seat and 'over-the-door' bridge pieces to connect the tall shelves would look so incredibly high-end. I’m definitely adding these to my design notes for future updates/add-ons. Thank you for such thoughtful suggestions! Happy building ❤️🏛️

These books don't work in a way that sims can read them. Books are found in decorations or something like that. Moveobjects on is enabled, what can I do ?

Ashley Zarzaur · August 18, 2025

Every build I've done lately, has had a library with these shelves.

LOVE the bookshelves, It would be cool if there could be double doors and windows, or that there were ones you can place above windows. The new EA kit has some but they are not as great as your CC. Also, EA's occasionally disappear when you go back to the lot when you stack them. AMAZING CC!

es wäre noch schön gewesen wenn die option mit einer weißen und braunen ausen seite der tür vorhanden wäre- denn sonst hat man im haus unterssschiedlich farbige türen. aber sonst finde ich daß set sehr gut - endlich mal secret doors in einer bibliothek die nach was aussehen! weiter so!

koyo · June 28, 2023

specifically i mean they place but they don't work s in game bookshelves? i think you've misunderstood me s meaning they dont place

J
Jillian · July 9, 2023

There are books you can place on the shelves that work the same as a bookshelf

koyo · June 25, 2023

F
Felixandre · June 26, 2023

I LOVE this set! Seriously, the dark blue is amazing and the secret door? *chefs kiss* The secret door the creators made is hideous but you have outdone yourself. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Jessica Darhower · June 8, 2023

Hey, Felix... I don't know if it's possible, but could you maybe add a swatch to the door with the different color books? I've been building a black & white mansion and it's killing me that the books on the door are in the earthy color tones instead of the muted more gray/white tones. If not, it's totally okay... just thought I'd give it a shot :)

It's really beautiful! I have been looking forward to this type of French bookcase for a long time. I was wondering if your French castle combination has considered manufacturing a cloakroom series, such as modern makeup tables and combination wardrobes

Felixandre · June 8, 2023

I will keep it in mind 🌸
