WIP#76
Hey everyone!
First of all thank you everyone for all the nice comments on my last set I really appreciate them! Before I start talking about the next set I want to apologize for the messy updates yesterday for the Wisteria Whisk 1 set. I realized one of the tray's file was crashing the game after I uploaded the updated set and quickly I corrected it but couldn't do it without creating a new file for it. Which means this particular item will disappear if you placed it earlier because it has different data. But the others should be good and working. I really hope so. I feel so bad about it, I was focusing on the testing and the tray was working fine and then it didn't. So if you experience any issues download the zip again.
Now onto the new stuff! I started working on the first appliance for our Sunwoven kitchen which is a stove. Basically two. I feared they would be too fancy for the laid back vibes I'm trying to give to this collection but I love these kind of stoves, I just couldn't resist going with this italian inspired style. I combined elements that I liked from multiple real-life stoves. These were my main inspiration:
I'm hoping to finish and texture this item in the next couple of days then I want to make matching fridge, microwave, coffee maker and hopefully more smaller appliance.
Lastly, I want to mention one thing I'm sure you've heard about already. EA was sold to private investors and the news came out a couple of days ago. Honestly, I read some articles and watched some videos but I won't try to explain this because I don't know enough about it. I just know I feel sad, frustrated, worried for the game I've been loving for so long. I just hope the changes won't affect this community and the safe place it created for me and for many others. I don't want to worry too much too early because I don't want to stress myself out but please know, I understand your worry because I feel it too. I hope I can keep doing CC and create things people enjoy.
All these things, the error on my part yesterday and the new about EA has left a bad feeling in me today, I felt a little down. But I opened up Blender and worked on this stove so I could forget the bad things at least for a while. Please, know how thankful I am for all of you for being here, supporting me or leaving comments!

awww I didn't see this post, and I'm sorry you're feeling down. Has the board of investors agreed? Sweden sold a horse competition to a Saudi Arabian wealthy women last year or so and the protests were loud enough (they renamed it from our town's name to an arabian name, after like... 40 years of this competition - what a way to make enemies of the costumers!) that they actually had to go back on it! people were TOO angry. especially, I think, because these rich people just buy companies as an investment, whilst the seller has gotten rich from actually CREATING something people love, I think that upsets a lot of people with sales like this. we're having the same issue as formula 1 fans at the moment as well, really infuriating, drivers have gotten fined for swearing, which is so silly, they shouldn't have to adhere to societal rules that has nothing to do with the sport. anyway, long rant! sorry! my POINT (I lost it lol) is that I am SO grateful for people like you who enhance the gaming experience, no matter what happens <3 I've had 5 rough years with chronic pain, grief x5, stress, hair loss, more pain ugh, I'm genuinely surprised I'm alive (my cats help, the one's who have survived these "series of unfortunate events"-years...) and I have honestly had days where creators like you are what has kept me alive, where just one fun CC post or some kindness (some sent me a download link earlier, or made CC just for me, I tear up thinking about it) has made me stubbornly stick to the life of the living for ONE more day, because you guys have made that day easier for me. so, I thank you, whatever happens with the sims, the community has saved me many times, and if it wasn't for the creative and kind hearted people like yourself, this world would be a whole lot duller. thank you.
Thank you for sharing your feelings. I'm sorry you had to go through many bad things in your life. I'm such a small part of this world, I just feel honored to be able to receive your nice words toward my work. I feel so out of place, one day I decide to create CC and 1,5 year later I get to read comments like yours. I appreciate it so much! I hope you'll feel better and if I get to be a part of that, I won't take it granted. I also have a cat and it's so true they are there for you (even if they only want the food you give them :D) but they are there! As for the company being sold, honestly I have no idea how it will affect the game. We still have time to see. I just hope we can be here and doing what we love the most.
I still have issues with the set. I think it's the refrigerated Display. Every time my Sims start to drink coffee in the shop with this displays my game crashes.
Hey, can you specify how this happens? I've just tried out with the displays+business and hobbies coffee bar and they bought coffee, drank it without crashing. Did you used another setup?
I feel that. I deinstalled the Game a few days ago and wanted to quit. the new DLC ist the first I didn´t buy. But I download the game currently after seeing all the pretty autuum DLC the Creator released the last few Days. so i don´t come back for EA - I come back ´cause I love this awesome and creative Community. But sadly I have a lot of Issus with my forever savefile (save corruption) and that took a lot of fun for me. Let´s hope for the best...
Well if it isn't the first time I've heard a stove uplifting one's mood! <3 But I am glad it did. I too find the EA news troubling but I am hoping for the best.
No need to apologise. These things happen. Just know your creations are so appreciated, as are you.
I understand your concerns. It is indeed a bit anxious to not be able to judge whether the future will be good or bad. For me, I insist on playing SIM4 because of excellent creators like you. Thank you very much for providing such excellent modules to players. I hope you have a good day.
Thank you so much! I couldn't play without mods and cc so I know what you're saying. I'm just thankful I can be part of this group.
I think as long as this private company doesn't DRM us like others have with other games (ie Ubisoft and The Crew), we'll be fine. Truly the game can't get much worse than its current state. Speaking as someone who plays very regularly.
I agree on the game's current state. There are so many bugs and they are bigger and bigger with each new expansion pack. But I think they could ruin it even more so I hope they won't. I think they went for EA's bigger titles but that could mean they don't wanna put money into the Sims. I don't know, I just try to be positive because I don't wanna loose this community.
As a new player to the Sims I am going to try and stay positive, because I have not had enough time playing this game 💜 The progress looks amazing so far!!! 🤩
I've been playing Sims for 20 years and still don't feel like I've played enough. :D So I really hope we can play in peace in the future.
Ouuuuh love it ✨💜
Thank you!
I think this sentiment is shared amongst many, myself included. I'm just happy we have creators like you that bring beauty and joy into the game
Thank you! I hope they won't ruin our game.
thank you for all that you do, and don’t worry!
Thank you for being here and using my items. <3
I just wanted to say, your work is incredible! Like 15/10. <3
Thank you so much!
