Its a HUGE set, and I will post it in 5 parts, this weekend.

Part 1 - Big Barn Build Items

In addition to WFS 5 original wood colors I added @zx-ta s 10 woods, and another 3: Grey, Falu Red, and Grandma Lisas Blue.

Falu Red is the traditonal red paint used in Sweden. It was actually a bi-product of the Falu Copper Mine, and became a standard color from 17th century and onwards. This is the origin for the classic Swedish Cottage painted red and most often with white deco. The Lisa Blue is inspired by my Great Grandma Lisa (1864-1945). I never met her, but grew up with the story about her blue cottage. She loved this blue color, which was not at all common at the time in the Swedish North where she lived in a small village. She shocked the whole village using this blue color. I had a playhouse when I was little painted Lisa Blue.

In the Big Barn Build Set:
- Two updated wood floors (new swatches) (first posted with the Winery set)
- One new floor
- One ground cover (terrain paint)

- Four wall variations - vertical, horizontal, with corners, and with deco colored corners.

- Three windows - 1-tile, a small version of the 1 tile, and a big barn window Three doors + three door frames

- Three fences - low, medium and tall

- Two gates - I made these from the door meshes, because the fences needed gates.

Part 2 - Big Barn Furniture

I know I promised to post during the weekend, and then I decided to include the counters in the original set... lots of counters. My very first modular counters, included. 40 swatches.

But let's start with the beds.

The original set included a single bed, done with comfy straw and an old blanket. I think its perfect as a base for bunk beds, so these beds are included:

- Single bed/Bottom Bunk bed

- Double bed (adapted for bunk beds)

- Toddler bed

- Top Bunk Bed

- Deco frames. Can of course be used for my other beddings. UPDATED 2023-01-09

- Dresser, adapted for bunk beds

- 1x1 desk, adapted for bunk beds

Also, a floor bed for toddlers, based on @pandasamacc s fantastic bed. (You need that one for this to work.)

Then we have the tables.

- 1x1 dining table, seats 4

- 2x1 dining table, seats 6 (not in pic)

- 3x1 dining table, seats 8

- 5x1 dining table, seats 12

- 6x0 dining table, seats 12

- dining chair (the classic 3-legged stool)

Lights - candles with extra safety. Ceiling, wall and table model. Works off-grid.

The Counters

- Modular wall cabinets. some withd deco

- 1 deco counter with deco, non-modular

- 2 special counters for sink, with drawers or cupboard

- 1 non modular counter with shelves, with slots

- Kitchen sink. Does not work with cutout, if I solve that I will of course update - works with the 2 special counters, though.

- Modular island counters

- 1-tile bar, which works with the island counters

- A wooden larder (fridge)

- A small wooden larder (mini-fridge, needs University EP)

Part 3 - Big Barn Deco

Included in the original set for Sims 2 by Wood for Sims was also a lot of deco items for your Big Barn.

- Deco Corn (plants) - they sway in the wind! 3 variations.

- Deco Sacks, 5 variations

- Wood Cutting Deco

- Milk Canisters

- Straw Rug, Straw Bale, Straw Roll

- Rain Pipes for all wall heights

- Standing and hanging ladder

- Wagon wheels, wall and floor models

D- Cabel crane - you might think this is a modern thing, but in Stockholm Old Town you can see these on several houses, good thing to have if you have your valuable wares in the attic.

- Dung Hill

- Deco columns for all wall heights

- Deco wagons - 4 variations. With barrels, with sacks and one with or without hay. (The without hay is a swatch option)

Part 4: Big Barn additions and matching recolors

Building the Big Barn lot (will upload tomorrow) I realized I needed some matching stuff. I mean, the Barn must match, right?

In this set:

- 2 barbecues, use together or separate, from the original set for Sims 2 by Wood for Sims

- Planting soil - using texture and edited mesh by WFS, a planting plot a little different from the ea one - plant less square :P

- Soil floor, matching

- Soil terrain paint, matching

- Outhouse - edit and recolor of the EA public toilet, use on your lot or place elsewhere with T.O.O.L by TwistedMexi

- Chicken Coop, matching

- Animal Shed, matching - edited to be less modern and more versatile

- Animal Shed NO SHED-version to use inside the barn I edited away the shed and left now is the hay through. Click on that for actions - buy animal ect.

- Two buffet tables matching the Big Barn counters The bigger one matches the normal counters and can easily be combined with them. The smaller one matches the island counters and can be combined with them and the bar. Slot for cake on the cake stand.

The big buffet here shown with two side counters (get them by using the normal counter with "auto-modular off" and pick the shorter end versions) which you can use to place tea/coffee brewer or punch fountain. Lots of slots!

- and finally, a Jump Hay Pile, which uses tuning and animations by @pandasamacc - go get their kids trampoline for use inside, you need that for this to work.

Peasant kids also need fun stuff to do!

Part 5: Three lots

1. Big Barn Farm (the lot).

2. Tiny Swedish Croft

2. A Tiny build - 32 sq m. A bed room and a kitchen, small outhouse, a chicken coop and a cow.

3. Cordelia's Wedding Barn

The perfect venue for your sims Romantic Wedding. I used the awesome tree from Plumbob Society's Rustic Romance set as a wedding arch.

More WFS sets will be converted :)
