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

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

(Read about and download the original versions of "The Gesner" here - but really, the new one is much better) I have been working on an updated version of this, my first oil lamp, for quite a long time now. The game doesn't like glass within glass - not only that if you want it to look right, each l

This was quite a big update, so I wanted to post separately as well. 16 different files - chandeliers and sconce candelabras: All now have Off-The-Grid candlelight; with interactions to light and extinguish This, Room, and Lot, automate This, Room, Lot, and change colour and intensity of light for T

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

One I teased a little while ago, that I'm just bursting to release - I know you're going to love it!! When I was making my Police Station, I started with typewriters as the computers - but pretty much all of them had some animation issue that I didn't like; then I changed to book computers and Jane'

I recently decided I'd try out the Active Careers that come with the Get To Work expansion. I started the Detective Career, and quickly found the need to update (or backdate?) everything at the Police Station. Sadly, I found very little custom content that filled my little Victorian niche, so I deci

I'm currently playing the Detective career for the first time, and naturally I wanted to deck out the police station and prison into a more appropriate style for my gameplay. I have been wanting to make these gas lights for quite a while now, and now was the perfect excuse! As gas was first reticula

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

This one has been requested by several people, and turns out was on my list, and downloaded in my WIP folder for a little while!! Introducing, Cashcraft's Regency Collection, converted to The Sims 4, for your enjoyment! It's a very big set, and I was in two minds as to whether I wanted to do more ch

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

Another candelabra I have converted from light bulbs to Off The Grid candles!!! This is another one of AnniQ's meshes. Unfortunately I am having trouble finding a post to download the original, so I don't know if it's a part of a set/collection! Here's a before and after: (excuse the annoying inside

A beautiful set by Natalia-Auditore, the Monsdstadt set was converted from Genshin Impact. Originally the candelabra and chandelier had flame shaped light bulbs, and the desk was a table that could not be sat at. SO, as is my way, I have converted the light bulbs to Off The Grid candles, AND I conve

I fell in love with this candelabra from the moment I first saw it! Unfortunately for me, as I play Victorian, and they don't have electricity, I technically couldn't use it - It was run by LIGHT BULBS. Well, I cheated and made it Off-The-Grid, hoping one day that I would be knowledgeable enough to

Today we have two lamps edited for my Victorian Sims: a table lamp by xsavannahx987, from their "Regal Living" set; and a floor lamp from Kerrigan House Designs' "Antique" set! When I first started playing The Sims 4, I found it hard to find Off The Grid lighting, and I generally only found candles

(Please see changelog at bottom of post) Download the latest version, which is BGC here! In 1854 Abraham Gesner invented kerosene (or "paraffin"), considered a much "cleaner" fuel, in comparison to previous liquid fuels at the time. It is a clear liquid that has a low scent when burned - and with a
