WIP#107

Hey everyone!

Last checkup before this set's release. I'm sorry if this'll be a smaller set, I was working a lot on the playhouse.. And almost all of the other items are functional so I had to do a lot of testing.

I added a bird feeder to the set. It looks a little tall because I had to follow the birds animation so it almost looks like a lighthouse but I tried to make the design fit into this theme. This will only work if you have the Backyard Stuff pack but it should appear as deco if you don't have it too (I have to test that to make sure).

I added a little welcome mat. I always was in need of small door mats so I made a few more stylish designs too.

Also, good news, I could make the swing base game compatible! I had some trouble with it the yesterday, because I realized that although I deleted the second slot for another person, they could still use it so I had to delete some rows from the tuning. It robbed me some time of my schedule so I have to stop making new items and I rather finish everything by this weekend so you can finally download it!

Also, a little sidenote: I鈥檝e been getting quite a few questions on Tumblr about my workflow and how I make my CC. So I decided to switch things up a little on Patreon.

I don't know yet how much time I'll have or how well I'll be able to manage everything I have planned, but starting with the next set, I want to bring in some new types of posts alongside the regular WIPs. I won't promise anything just yet, but if I can fit it in, I'd also love to make some speed-modeling and texturing videos!

I won't be talking in them, sorry :D, but if that's something you'd be interested in, you could watch my process and see how I make things from start to finish.

I hope I can get back into my regular flow after this chaotic month because I'm really excited to do the next set!

This is too cute! And I love that the welcome mat has no writing. I have such a hard time finding welcome mats that are either in simlish or with just patterns and no writing and that one on the pic is so cute!

I made some simlish versions and a few with just different patterns on them so hopefully it'll be perfect for you! 馃槉

I love your work. You, along with a few other creators, are the reason I made the switch to MM. Thank you for all that you do.

That would be sooo Sims coded to have another sim swinging in a ghost swing next to the visible one. :D :D

VALIA 路 August 21, 2026

I mean you're not wrong. :DD When I thought everything was working fine my sim had to sit on nothing and swing in the air.

THANK YOU for giving us a new bird feeder! I can never use the in-game one because it looks too plastic and I haven't been able to find good CC ones. This is beautiful!

VALIA 路 August 21, 2026

They look so bad :D I never use them because they don't come in normal colors. I've been planning to do one for some time and I think it fits right into this theme.

The functional focus really shows鈥攎aking the swing base-game compatible is a great touch. I鈥檇 also love to see your workflow posts!

VALIA 路 August 21, 2026

Thank you! I realized the tuning is in the basegame and only the objects are tied to the various packs so I could create a base game object and use the swing tuning.

Looks amazing, as always! Try not to pressure yourself into deadlines. It鈥檚 more important you enjoy what you do. You do not need to apologise to anyone for putting your life first x

Thank you so much! I always try to deliver the sets in time because I don't want to disappoint anyone. Fortunately I learned to not stress too much when I'm in this situation but I like to inform everyone of the state of things.
