More Build Mode Items + Cozy Loft and Garden!
Hello everyone! Chloe here to bring you another item showcase.
I hope you all enjoy these showcases, as we are planning to share new items for the Build Mode and the Paramaker periodically. We hope you will look forward to them!
The Loft
For this week, we have created a little colourful studio! It’s so cozy, I am kind of jealous.
Recently, I’ve been creating a lot of bedroom items that we were missing, such as the bedside tables, dressers and beds.
We also have a lot of new living room stuff, like new couches (which are all resizable 👀) and armchairs! We have a variety of designs now, so we are able to create rooms with more varied styles.
New prints were also created to add a bit more variety in the decor.
The Garden
Lastly, Léa and I did some work on plants. We have a pretty extensive list of plants to do, so we have a lot of work ahead of us.
A little garden scene featuring items we recently worked on, namely new flowers!
A sunflower field, perfect for the summer. Sunflowers are some of my favorite flowers, so I was super happy to get to create those.
Here’s a lineup of most of our vegetation items currently in the game.
That is it for this week’s showcase! There’s quite a bit we haven’t shown you, but that we might showcase next: washer/dryers, anyone?
So far, we have a little selection of most item types in the game. For the upcoming months, we aim to have a bit of every item type so we can test out animations and features for the live mode. I will also be focussing on creating more clutter/decor items in the upcoming weeks in order to have new things to furnish the rooms. We’re a bit tired of seeing the same monstera plant and duck planter, even though we like them!
See you next time,
Chloe (´｡• ᵕ •｡`) ♡

I’m very interested: will the lighting for the inside stay like that? Like looking like the room is without a ceiling? What would be the visual differentiator to let the player know that a room is enclosed and not affected by weather?
omg I loveee the flowers you guys do such a good job and the lighting is breathtaking as usual
Items and clothes are both beautiful and realistic so far. Hopefully clutter will be sorted into different categories so it's easier to find things when decorating, as having just one 'clutter' category with hundreds of items to scroll through is, well, cluttered.
Can we change the size of the plants too?
The artstyle is so adorable! Would it technically be possible to create some sort of autofill or brush for flowers, bushes, stones and so on to create a garden scenery without putting down every single and so on flower manually. Maybe through modding tool? Keep up your awesome work! <3
in love with these
I love the art style so much, I don't know if I'll get any actual game playing done, for sitting there and staring at the cozy home and furnishings or the cozy outdoor vibes, sitting on a park bench and listening to the cozy music!! LOL I can't wait for all of the things!
Will plants also be able to be edited in the same way as other objects? Such as changing color, height, width? Will it be possible to upload custom graphics to the images?
Gorgeous as always. Cannot wait to see even more!
Wow great job on everything so far, I even love those peachy tones <3 As for washer/dryer, I think they do belong in game but, there truly should be an option to turn off/on animations for those who can't be bothered with laundry. In other words, one player might enjoy the full on experience as I do at times, but another player likes to play but feels the laundry can be a tedious frustration. But I think for purpose of realism, they do need to be in game.
I really enjoy the care that went into the graphics so far. The outdoor bench is spot on and I love sunflowers so this is a must in any game I play for sure
I love love love all the assets you've made!!!!! I can't wait to see other styles introduced, like gothic, retro, elegant... etc. Everything you guys do has so much love and passion put into it... It's been 2 decades since I've been this excited for a game.
The vibe of this game isn’t like any other! I love how cozy and inviting everything looks! Great job team ❤️
I am just so in love with the art style and the vibe of this game. It’s come so far, and just feels so warm and inviting ❤️
Really guys, i’m totally loving the art style, it’s all so cozy, clean and beautiful! Please keep doing this excepcional work
Totally loving the feels from all of this
I love this !!!!! Its so beautiful
I’m loving everything so far!
Yes! Colorful and relaxing! ❤️
I love how soft and relaxing it looks.
Gosh those interiors are cute! I can see the vegetation is coming along nicely too, but I do feel like the leaves blend into each other a little too much. It's hard to see separate leaves when the colours are similar.
The style is so pretty! I'm excited to build with this stuff :)
I love that round sofa chair thing!! I want one in real life. I also love the new flowers 🪻🌸🌷🌻 Just one question, are those apples hanging from that one tree? If so, they might be a little low-poly. I do love that bench though! Its juust big enough for two, but things look to get a bit more intimate 😏 Is the bench also resizable?
Soooo, beautiful!! 😁
I looove it all as always! A small detail that id really enjoy seeing in especially sunflowers but maybe also some other flowers would be if the flower head followed the sun and gradually changed their direction during the day, and during autumn they would be more still when theyre meant to be ripe with seeds. I dont know if its doable, but it would add just that little bit of detail that would make a big difference to at least flower interested people! You guys are all doing amazing work!
that would be incredible!
I love the plants, they look so vibrant, definitely gonna flower bomb my parafolk's neighborhood. And that cacti is definitely gonna be one of my favorites when decorating
I also love the lil spiky plant by the bed 👀
The furniture is beautiful! Washer and dryers are making me excited hahaha
The plants are lovely and I LOVE that interior aesthetic! Giving me Danish pastel vibes - you guys know exactly how to appeal to your Gen Z audience 😍
gen z devs looking out for their gen z audience 🥰
I'm not a garden person but I like the new furniture. Is the box with all the slippers new ? It's adorable ! You mention that the couches are resizable. Are armchairs resizable, too ? Specifically I'm thinking of fat Paras who might appreciate furniture with more room ! What is the "rule" of what is resizable and what isn't, actually, would make for an interesting post in the future.
Love the comfy and soft look of the furniture, awesome work !
love it
Just wow!😀
Omg I'm obsessed. Great work team!!! :)
Wonderful job guys!! I'm so impressed with all of the little details you are creating!
Thank you so much for your support Sarah! 😊
Will we be able to place items on our beds or couches etc in live mode?
Beautiful ☺️ You guys are doing an amazing job!
Thank you so much Bianca 😊
That studio is sooo cozy!! I love it!! And the flowers are amazing! I have never been good at building houses in Sims but I can redecorate the HELL out of something (and NEVER repost what I redecorate!). I cannot wait to use these amazing items to finally try my luck at creating my own cozy home.
I love the loft! It’s so homey. Also can’t wait to see washers and dryers!
It's so lovely to see, and it's so clear that you guys have worked hard and have put a lot of love into these items. The only thing I'm really not a fan of is the apples, and personally, if the apples can't be improved, I'd rather the tree not have any apples at all.
ouhhhh these are all so wonderful!!!! the flowers look so real! the armchair so soft makes me wish i could just plop down on it and the pictures are so pretty and colors are fantastic!! overall it’s amazing <3
Thank you so much, so glad you like it!!
Also my daughter would like it if I can recreate Peppa Pig's house LOL https://s1.dmcdn.net/v/8AHgu1TQjB9pMt8rC/x720
I love all these flowers! Will there be lilies added? Lilies are my favorite.
Yes, we're planning on adding lilies 😊
Can I suggest: British style combo washer/dryers that slot under a kitchen counter? Maybe my Para lives in a tiny apartment but I don't want to send them to the laundromat every time!
Wait combo washer/dryers are a thing?! I need to move back to Europe ASAP 😭😭
AHH SO COZY
WE LOVE COZY
Everything looks SO cute 😭😭
Thank you so much!!
That loft is everything! It’s giving, cozy animal crossing vibes 🥰. The new plants 🪴 also look amazing.
Aw thank you so much! Cozy vibes are exactly what we are going for 🥰
Looks amazing! love watching Paralives grow <3
Thank you so much for following along! We're so glad to be able to share this journey with you all 😊
this is a lovely amount of plants! would you guys be willing to make more desert-themed vegetation, like palm trees etc.?
Yes, we are considering adding some more dry weather vegetation items :)
Were those sunflowers individually placed? I was thinking how cool it woud be to have a brush tool so that they could be placed automatically and at random.
I would use this ALL THE TIME. I am very bad at being "random" on purpose.
This looks fantastic! Will you guys be sharing any news about when a potential release comes? 😬
We can't wait to share that wonderful news! However, we still need to do more work on the Live mode and other aspects of the game before we can be confident about announcing the Early Access release date. We're working as efficiently as possible to get to that point and share Paralives with you all!
This game is going to be so awesome when it comes out. I'm having so much fun just watching it progress
Aw so glad you're enjoying following our development journey! We can't wait to release it :)
That’s a loft I want to live in. Good work!
It's so cozy! Thank you for the kind words :)
I can't wait to play this game. Well done!
Thank you so much!
Looks so nice! Loving it.
Thanks Victoria, so glad you're liking it :)
Hope that the early access will come soon <3
The studio looks so cozy. The only thing that bugs me is the cactus by the TV looks too neon green
💖💖💖💖
Oh my, that cat poster is everything 🙌🏻😍 I want it irl so bad
me too!! maybe we should make prints 👀👀
Ah I want to be in there 😀😁
so glad you like it!!
I can’t wait for release 🤞🏾💜
Idk the last time I was so anxious for a game to release
That garden bench photo looks like an illustration. I'm getting so hyped!! 🙌
it's a beauty!!
I love that everything looks so homey
So glad you're liking it!
Beautiful! As a long-time Sims player I am very much looking forward to your game. Your whole team puts a lot of love into it and it shows.
Thank you so much for the kind words Jennifer!
