I'm so excited to present the update of my two wash stands, and wash basin! I have been working a lot on XML tuning lately: trying to figure out how things work, and how I can modify things to my advantage. As much as I love the washbasins, there were issues with the functions that annoyed me, and b

A lovely companion to the Victorian Caterpillar Incubator, and thank you to our friend J anon for suggesting it! I have adapted one of Remysa's cages to be the Butterfly and Moth Habitat for the Entomology collection! When you have hatched a butterfly or moth, OR if you have caught them in the wild,

Adding to my collection of gas lighting, I have just completed this bigish set of lights. I'm slowly updating all my lights' tuning; but at the same time I like to make new things, and keep busy editing things. One day, bored, I looked through the game assets, and found a chandelier I thought I coul

I don't know why EA made this such a big thing: my cats are always obsessed with the front door, and afraid/weary of fireplaces. Maybe I use too many mods that change behaviours, and not to mention a fireplace in nearly every room 🤣 I never understood why my cat was ALWAYS just hanging out near the

I collect daguerreotypes, so when I noticed that the Paranormal pack has a "Book of Silhouettes" which looks exactly like a daguerreotype case, I really wanted to turn it into an actual daguerreotype case (on my to-do list for a long time). from the Daguerreotype page on Wikipedia - for some context

This was an idea I had a while ago, and only just decided to try make it a reality! Tête-à-tête means "Head to head" in English, and in this context means to talk one-on-one. Alternatively I've seen them called "conversation chairs". The chairs became popular in the 19th century as a sort of novelty

If you bought Adventure Awaits, you may have noticed this post box in Gibbi Point. Of course, it's just street-deco and not in the normal build/buy catalogue. I thought I had seen it before, and it turns out that it is (almost) exactly the same as real post boxes installed in the UK during the Victo

Download Version 1 of the Small Piano-Forte (chair attached) here. Since I worked out how to make chairs snap to instruments, I knew I had to update this piano, so it doesn't have a chair permanently attached. I have learned a lot more in Blender since I released the first version, so I had to go th

Like usual, I decided to have my sims follow some new path in the game, and I couldn't really find existing cc which filled the need - so I made some new things! In the Paranormal Stuff Pack, there's a crystal ball and a séance table - they are separate items, but if you have the crystal ball on the

I haven't found any different caterpillar incubators, since getting Adventure Awaits; and the game one is pretty ugly, and definitely not appropriate for us historical simmers! So, I decided that I needed to make a new one. With the help of one of Remysa's birdcages, I have made a couple new incubat

This piano has been sitting in my WIP folder for a while now, and I decided to go ahead and finish it! This was a lot of fun to put together, and I'm so happy with the outcome! Today, we have two objects: A new square piano 21 different swatches Base Game Compatible Found in Activities and Skills>Cr

I recently got Adventure Awaits, and while looking through the debug items, I found a tree called "NewZealandChristmasTree"; debug items are not things you buy in build/buy - so it's sad that one has to go through the debug route in order to place it. Upon placing the tree on my lot, first I noticed

I have had so many projects on the go, sometimes I get a little lost with what I'm doing 🫠 I saw some pictures on Tumblr and realised I could make these! In the late 19th century, and early 20th century, weight-lifting really started to take off; thanks to the cast-iron process perfected by the Vic

Update 21/06/2026: Combined Bassinet Tuning Updated, download new file via Ingeli's Post here Last item from the Bridgerton pack that I liked the look of, and wanted to make base game compatible, was the "Bundle of Joy" bassinet for newborns. The original, EA version has just six swatches, and four

From thew new packs, the piano was one of the only things I was interested in - and I saw some potential for it to look really good, in a more customisable way. The original EA piano has 12 swatches, with various seat upholstery colours, and a huge spray of flowers &c. on top. Of those 12, there are

This is a lot originally by PlumbobKingdom, which I converted into a Victorian-style Police Station - for use with the Get To Work Detective Career. You will need my Victorian Gaol Set for for the gaol/jail parts; as well as many of my other cc (particularly the gas lighting and oil lamps). You can

A couple of weeks ago when I posted about lighting, follower Perfect Cyan asked about nightlights. At this point, I had never actually used a nightlight in game, and I couldn't find a candle or oil lamp which has the functionality (let-alone Off-The-Grid!). I decided to take a crack at it, and I wen

I have been very, very busy, and I didn't want to neglect you all! So here's a little mod I made when I didn't understand why only some people could nap on a rocking-chair - and it turns out only those with the "Lazy" trait were able to do it. With this mod, any sim from Child to Elder can nap every

Named for Sherlock Holmes, I have converted this fireplace from The Sims 2, and edited it to include brick backing, and tile hearth. There's nine swatches in total: three different mantle colours, and three different tile colours. Nothing else to say about this haha; I've been working on a hundred d

The "Functional Victorian Washstand" has been very popular, and I am constantly looking to find nice things to make functional. Another thing I'm constantly doing is looking at 3D models on Sketchfab - both for inspiration, and also to see if I can use anything for The Sims. I found a low poly washs

I have several Sims 2 conversion sets on my list to convert. I just hope that I don't forget to do one I have agreed to convert! This set was requested by @mrtri91 who had originally commissioned Nauka0 to make the set for The Sims 2. Based on the actual Salon of Madame Récamier - a socialite Parisi

I have been browsing SketchFab again, looking for inspiration and models I could use with Creative Commons. I came across this candle by Dumokan Art, and it inspired me to make a little set where the candle is about to burn out; really good for storytelling I assume! (tried to make the above GIF to

There have been loads of really nice chandeliers released that I've always loved, but hadn't actually used because they all had light bulbs instead of actual candles. Slowly, in between all the other ongoing projects I have, I have been looking at these and converting them! Today I present a set of

I've been really enjoying making things functioning! When I first downloaded this clothesline, I saw into my future and predicted that I would make it work! Silverlinings (A.K.A. BuildsByBarbara) made the deco clothesline as a part of the Windswept Linens collaboration with Baumgarten. Making this w

xsavannahx987 released lamps converted from TS3 quite a while ago, and I loved the wall lamp; I wanted to convert it to a table lamp, but I didn't know how to go about it: UNTIL NOW! I made the lamp overall smaller; made the shade transparent glass, and added the flame effects. With the help of one

Quite a while ago, when looking for stuff for my High School, I found a functioning water fountain, but it was modern. Where I live - at least when I was a child - we didn't have the American style fountains in school, which have a big sink - instead we only had outdoor fountains that you'd press a

I have had requests to convert items from The Sims 2, and I noticed this set while looking to see what the furniture was like. By ADELE, the Victorian Gothic set includes these pieces, plus some other items which I don't really like - so, sorry (not sorry), I've just done these three pieces. Living

Just a quick post today! You may have noticed a hanging towel in my previous post - this is by Felixandre, and actually didn't fit on the bar on the oven very well. SO, I have modified it so that it fits, and I've made recolours for you! There's 12 swatches: Two different versions - a bigger and a s

Ladies and Gentlemen; Servants, Cooks, Maids, and Kitchen Hands; finally we have the latest in Victorian cooking technology for your big homes, mansions, halls, abbeys, palaces (or, just busy kitchens!): The Range. IRL I want a range so badly. If I were rich enough (one day 🤞🏻) to get a Victorian

Short on space? Live in an apartment? Low ceilings? Cold‽ Fear no more; for, now we have the Petite Chambre Fireplace! This is a pretty standard Victorian-style fireplace, with the rounded firebox, and wood surround, tiles underneath. I see so many little fireplaces in old English flats, they sit in

By the mid 1800s, most city streets were illuminated by gas lamps - much before gas was reticulated into homes. There's quite a lot of street light cc out there, but none are gas - until now!! These go well in parks, streets, cemeteries, outside your businesses, or even outside your palaces: Today,

I love the Functional Rocking Horse mod by Pandasama, they have several very cool things for the little'ns! Naturally, I wanted a more Victorian-style rocking horse; and I found one by Destruam, in their The Witcher 3 furniture set. BUT, it's not enough to make just this one functional, I decided to

Your new favourite basin and jug! While working on some Sims 2 conversions, I found this deco wash basin by Parsimonious, part of their "Monte Carlo" bedroom set, and fell in love with it! So, once again, with the help of Serinion's "Ablution Chamber Basin", I have made this a functioning wash basin

Update notes at bottom of post! These are some well loved candle sconces in the Historical Simming community, and were initially made by Felixandre. However, players will also note that when using sconces where you must slot in candles, there can be issues when redecorating (changing wallpaper, or a

~Updates at bottom of post ~ Also, this is proving to be one of my favourite sets I've made, they just look so beautiful to me! THIS is the ambitious project I have been working on for a little while, and was an idea I've had for a lot longer. INDOOR GAS LIGHTS. Gas lighting was used since the late

Recently I was thinking about a new firescreen, and I was looking at historic screens - photos, drawings, paintings etc. There was an unusual shape I saw a couple of times, and thought about how I could make one for The Sims. AnniQ made this shaped frame for a painting quite a while ago, and it's pr

One of the items that attracted me to the Secret Sanctuary kit was this big chaise longue (A.K.A. "Chaise Lounge", "Chaise Long", "Daybed?", "Sofa", "Couch"???). But, it has two problems for me: the blankets that drape on the chaise are not available for all colours, so if you want a different colou

Update notes at end of post! Introducing The New Standard of slotting candles! Recently I mastered (gloat much‽) the art of making candle flames, working out all the numbers from extensive (really‽) testing, and learning how to make tuning. There are some good candles out in the market, but they all

Recently, AnniQ released this picture frame, which had a very small selection of paintings included - I love the frame so much, I decided to make a little set with my own selection of paintings! Introducing: Paintings of the Museum - these are a collection of some of my favourite paintings in the co

I have been sitting on this for a little while because I had no idea how to take good pictures of shoes O_Ou Thus; I don't have several pictures to accompany this post, like I normally would! I have liberated the swatches from the Vampires GP , and applied them to more Victorian-era shoes. These are

Update notes at bottom of post I am very excited to present a little set of candles! Two candelabras, and a candlestick. I have been wanting to try converting 3D models to The Sims 4 a little more. I found these on Sketchfab, and had a lot of fun converting them to use in The Sims; I even did my own

I know you've been waiting on this one!!! I have made three previously non-playable harps, playable - using JaneSimsten's Playable Harp mod. Two of these are by AnniQ: she had these set as radios; and I have added a stool, and converted them to be able to be played: The third is by TV-Sims, and this

This is a washstand by Kerrigan House Designs, and since released, I dreamed of it being a functional wash basin. I imagined how I could do it, but I lacked the know-how. NOT ANYMORE! With the help of Serinion's "Ablution Chamber Basin", I have managed to make this function as a proper bedroom basin

This lovely fireplace was included in the Secret Sanctuary kit, but I didn't like how modern the firebox looked, and I needed to put some WOOD there! So, I have modified the firebox, added brick, a little stand with the firewood, and recoloured it for you! It's base game compatible, so no need to bu

I recently got the Secret Sanctuary kit (and pre-emptive warning, this pack is required for this object) and was happy to see they included a gramophone!! The gramophone included in the kit has an open lid, and when checking in Sims 4 Studio, I noticed it had "states" in the mesh section, so one cou

I really like layering my curtains! Sometimes, though, annoyingly, they don't really layer well, and cut through each-other. SO, I decided to make my own! I call these Luscious Riches because they're pretty luscious, and pretty rich - for a rich person's house 😂 The curtains use four separate meshe

I have been determined to make an oil lamp that's simple enough that it will become everyone's go-to oil lamp. First, I tried to make my own lamp base, but it didn't go well; so, I looked for existing lamps to see if I could convert something. You may remember my post "Lamps! Lamps!": I have used th

[Update notes below post!] The second candelabra I mentioned, recently, which I've converted to candles! This is another one of AnniQ's which I cannot find the original post! She named it "The Golden Torch", with no other information, but after some reverse image searching, I found that the statue i

I am continuing to learn! I have updated this awesome fireplace! The textures have been improved, lighting is better, I have added more slots, and I have adjusted the fire slightly! Unfortunately there's no way, that I have found (so far), to actually reduce the size of the fire itself, so flames wi

by Bartholomäus Bruyn the Elder (1493-1555) in 1538/9 When it was posted in the "cc wishlist" channel of the History discord I am a member of, I remembered right away that I have a frame that would fit perfectly; so, I decided to make my first painting cc! Above is the original version as it stands
