Ts4 Build No Cc - Tumblr Posts

I’ve been experimenting with photography in game and discovered that taking photos through windows creates interesting effects (I’m loving the dreamy and serene feel).  Only thing is, I feel a bit like the pervy peeping Tom of the sims world - I’m just waiting for a sim cop to come along and chastise me.

The trials and tribulations of building and decorating homes without using custom content...

So I’m back to building/decorating my converted warehouse home, which I intend to share soon.  My design inspiration is luxury industrial - sort of Restoration Hardware meets urban townhouse.  I’m attempting to do completely cc-free builds whenever possible and luckily there’s a fair amount of industrial content in the game.  So with a bit of creativity and ingenuity and a whole lot of cheats (thank god for MOO and hidden objects) it’s actually easier than I thought.  

Uh oh...who can spot the “magical” floating boxes?  Sometimes I love MOO and sometimes it drives me mad.

Kashaya Allen has recovered from being the first eliminated from @mamalovesnuts‘ Sims Next Top Model challenge (yellow really is the bane of her existence).  She quickly booked a photo shoot with Ravasheen magazine and treated herself to an extended stay in Oasis Springs. 

Barn shop at the Snowflake Day Tree Farm

Snowflake Day Tree Farm 

Snowflake Day Tree Farm 

Snowflake Day Tree Farm offers the quintessential country Christmas tree farm experience.  Enjoy the fresh air and scenic views while finding the perfect christmas tree.  Afterwards, shop for presents and holiday trinkets in the quaint barn shop, sample farm grown produce, grab some grub from the holiday food truck, or be entertained by festive live music or with a game of horseshoes.  Bring the whole family for a merry day!

More pics of my makeover of 18 Culpepper House, which I’m calling the glamourista apartment because it’s designed for a glamour girl or guy (I was imagining a social media star).  I want to thank everyone who liked/commented on this build (shout out to @wafflekone, @shysimblr, @kilra0, @earthtomarvel, and @peanutbutterjay for their nice comments) and because it was requested that I share, I thought I’d show my appreciation by making it available for download soon.   

After struggling with a couple of weird glitches (a random black window and curtains turning blue or disappearing all together...ugh) I think this apartment is finally ready to share. 

the Glamourista Apartment

Perfect for a social media maven, fashionista, or beauty guru... only the best will do!  Built for 18 Culpepper House, this apartment may be small but it packs a lot of style.

What’s your poison?

I just now found some pics of the food market that I forgot to post.  I feel like I’m spamming pics of this build but I already edited the photos so I figured I’d share them.  I promise I’ll be posting lots of pics of my new builds soon.

JM MCM Home (Replica Challenge Build #4)

I told myself that I didn’t have time to do this week’s challenge but @redhotchilisimblr chose a beautifully designed midcentury modern home (my weakness) so how could I not?  

The JM MCM is perfect for a family looking for a little luxury without totally breaking the bank.
