Public release: Dark Academia (2) - Millwork set

exemple in-game of the short wainscoting used in a bathroom


Hello everyone 😍

I'm SO happy to share with you today the Millwork set for the Dark Academia (2) in collaboration with the never run out of ideas and talented builder KateSimblr. As soon as I'll finish my 3D/CC part, she will come with a new Dark Academia-themed build which will be going to blow our minds 😱

This millwork set is surely the set I have spent the most of time on since I'm creating my own CC πŸ˜‚ It took more than 200 hours of work to complete 😱 I wish in project Rene they will give us an easy tool for measurements in-game πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

It's been a while now since I wanted my own fully modular millwork set with crown mouldings, baseboards, high and short wainscotings which will work for any kind of room shapes but I never had the opportunity before to spend so much time on something like that. I hope some of you will appreciate this day has finally arrived! 🀞

Initially, only the "wainscoting 1" you can see above with 9 alpha textures was planned, but KateSimblr and I were frustrated to see holes on walls or overlappings. That is how we decided to add an extra month to our collab for me to be able to figure out how many new meshes we'll need, their size, and how to create them. And while we're at it, a 51 plain colors and 28 maxis match swatches versions are planned for later.

The set is composed of 19 new meshes for a total of 171 swatches as follows:

  • 3 crown moulding meshesof 1 tile wide: one to use on simple walls, one for left corners, and another for right corners. You can overlap them to create a 1/2 tile-wide version if needed, we can hardly see it on the textures.

  • 3 baseboard meshes of 1 tile wide: one to use on simple walls, one for left corners, and another for right corners. You can overlap them to create a 1/2 tile-wide version if needed, we can hardly see it on the textures.

  • 3 high wainscoting meshes of 1 tile wide: one to use on simple walls, one for left corners, and another for right corners.

  • 3 high wainscoting meshes of 1/2 tile wide: one to use on simple walls, one for left corners, and another for right corners.

  • 3 matching short wainscoting meshes of 1 tile wide: one to use on simple walls, one for left corners, and another for right corners. Can be used under a window for example in combination with the high version.

  • 3 matching short wainscoting meshes of 1/2 tile wide: one to use on simple walls, one for left corners, and another for right corners. Can be used under a window for example in combination with the high version.

  • 1 matching column mesh: can be used wherever you want to fill holes between wainscoting and a door for example (playtested) or to add details

The set had been playtested on all shapes we thought about, on curved walls too, and in live mode. Your build will still be functional for your Sim.  While the result is not perfect on curved walls, obviously as it wasn't meant for that, we can still have a good-looking result with a bit of patience.

Description:

  • 19 new meshes made from scratch by me

  • Base game and HQ compatible

  • 9 alpha wood swatches each (171 in total)

  • All of the 19 new meshes are slotted

  • All LODs

  • Can be found in the wall sculpture and ceiling decor

I wish you all to enjoy this new set and thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your support without which this set would never exist πŸ™β€β€

With love,

MΓ©lissa

Dear! I'm probably asking a lot, could you add additional colors for these panels, such as in the game EA paint pastel colors.

Did you get a look at the lastest « news!Β Β» post? I shown there the two other versions already planned and one is with 51 plain colors I shown the color palette. You should find in them colors matching what you have in mind but I will not add more. Because those 51 swatches has to be manually created for the 19 meshes. So in total it’s 51x19 textures to create, so a total of 969 and doing so it’s already like πŸ€―πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«
