WIP#83
Hey everyone!
I'm here with the next WIP post. There aren’t too many new items this time, because once someone suggested I should make curved windows, I just couldn’t let it go. I immediately jumped into converting the 2-tile window into curved variants. I was really nervous about this task because it seemed so hard to make everything seamless, but the good news is that I actually managed to do it pretty easily, even though it took quite a bit of time! And I still have to put into the game the other curve sizes. It's actually surprising that each curved window requires eight different meshes, so it's quite a big task to make but I don't regret doing them because it will make this set more versitile.
Other than the windows and doors I started to make some furniture too, starting with the bench. I'm goind to do a 1-tile version of it. I imagined this outdoor scene where you can sit in front of the bookstore and browse through the used books placed outside. I drew inspiration from gothic style again, something I think will appear in the interior sets too, but I wanted to keep it simple and not too dramatic.
The third object is still in progress because I have to texture all the dozens of books, but it will be the used-books cart that sits in front of the shop. I’ll try to make the swatches so you can place more than one next to each other.
Next I'm gonna do the store signs and I plan to make different swatches not just book shop themed so you can use them for other commercial lots. If you have something you would like to see, a specific type of shop, let me know in the comments so I include that as a swatch!
I wanted to thank you for all the nice, supportive comments on this set, it makes really excited to work on it!

OMG THANK YOU!!! I feel like curved windows are so overlooked/skipped with cc sometimes, and genuinely appreciate all the time and effort you put in for these <3
I know, I tell you always the same... but I love it!!

Gorgeous!
Thank you!
OMG YES thank you for your incredible work
Thank you so much! <3
Oops my bad for mentioning curved windows, but they are going to look great.
Haha, don't worry! :D I can't say no to a good idea. At least now I know how to make them.
I'm so excited!! 😍😍
Thank yoou! <3
It's stunning!! Love it <3
Thank you! <3
WOW! Love it
Oh my word! That is stunning! A bookstore is such a wonderful idea. I am very excited.
Thank you! I love bookstores and I've been wanting to make bookstore cc for a very long time.
I love what you are creating for us, I will have so much fun with this build set, thank you! x
Thank you! I'm soo happy to hear that, it warms my heart if people enjoy playing with my stuff.
8 different meshes for each window! That's some commitment! I'm so in love with the book cart!! I'm most excited for the book shop, but next to the bookstore I'm building in game, I also have a high-end jeweler, records store, art gallery, and kids toy shop, if that sparks any ideas for signage :)
Yes, 8 meshes 6 of them are curves and all of them have to be seamless. I was surprised I didn't have to start over 3 times :D I managed to do it quite easily. Thank you for the ideas, I'll definitely add some of them to my list!
Very cute so far!
Thank you! <3
i cant remember if there is a shop sign for your bakery set that would be awesome if it could be added 🙂↕️ thank you always
No, I didn't make one for the bakery set so I'll include one in this.
a bridal shop sign would be amazing! or something like a fashion/photography studio — can’t wait to get these pieces in my game regardless, thanks for your amazing work ♥︎
Thank youu! These are good, I'll try to add them.
Would you consider making a lift too or not really
For this bookstore I won't. In the future maybe, if it matches the vibe with the set I'm making.
