LES BÛCHES DE NOËL

Les pâtissiers ne manque jamais d’inspiration lorsqu’il s’agit de ré-inventer chaque année la bûche de Noël. Tour d’horizon de quelques créations à déguster durant les fêtes.

Peut-on toujours parler de bûche ? Pas toujours. Il serait parfois préférable d’opter pour la dénomination : «  gâteau de Noël »,  plus proche de l’apparence des créations des pâtissiers les plus imaginatifs. Ensuite, même si les réseaux sociaux poussent à l’esthétisme, il ne faut jamais oublier l’essentiel : le goût. Harmonies des saveurs mais aussi de textures, rien ne doit être laissé au hasard. Les exemples ci-dessous sont quelques unes des créations les plus inspirantes de cette fin d’année. Élégante, succulente, seul le prix pourrait vous dissuader de céder à la tentation.   

SURPRENANTE POMME DE PIN

Maxime Frédéric, le chef pâtissier du Four Seasons George V, propose cette année un dessert à l’allure surprenante. Son gâteau de Noël et d’un graphisme impressionnant, doublé d’une grande technicité. C’est certainement l’une des créations les plus impressionnantes et les plus réussies de la capitale. Des écailles en chocolat noir de Madagascar à 75 % au nombre de 210, composent l’extérieur de cette superbe pomme de pin, dont le cœur renferme quatre assiettes en chocolat contenant chacune une part de bûche aux notes boisées. Assurément le voyage gustatif le plus réconfortant de Noël entre pignons de pin, caramel onctueux et bois fumé.

CABOSSE DE CACAO

Jimmy Mornet, pâtissier du Park Hyatt Vendôme, est bien loin de l’esprit de Noël, mais il ale mérite de l’originalité. Sa cabosse de Noël est épatante. Il s’est appliqué, avec beaucoup de minutie, à reproduire le fruit du cacaoyer, façonnant la coque en chocolat avec un impressionnant réalisme. À l’intérieur, le mucilage est une délicate mousse au parfum de cacao, les graines sont en chocolat. Ce dessert, par sa légèreté, trouvera toute sa place après un copieux dîner de réveillon.

Pour 6-8 personnes – 82 € – Commande au 01 58 71 12 34 

Disponible dès le 21 décembre

UN NOËL AUTHENTIQUE

C’est incontestablement la bûche que l’on se voit manger au coin du feu. Et pas seulement le soir du réveillon ; tout autant le 25décembre à l’heure du goûter. Bryan Esposito, le nouveau chef pâtissier de l’hôtel Le Collectionneur à Paris, a su concevoir une bûche à la fois originale et authentique, avec un élégant jeu de texture et de goûts. Sur une base de biscuit, dense et savoureux, composé de noisettes, noix, noix de pécan et brisures de marrons, il est venu déposer une mousse de pomme de pin abritant un délicieux cœur de confit d’églantine. Une totale réussite, soutenue par une fine couche de marmelade de kumquat dont les saveurs réveillent les papilles.

8 parts – 75 € – Disponible jusqu’au 25 décembre – Réservation lecollectionneur@thegatecollection.com ou 01 58 36 67 97

Superbe bûche de Bryan Esposito

L’ÉLÉGANCE

Pierre Hermé aime les parfums délicats de la rose, et se plaît constamment à jouer avec ses parfums. Dans sa bûche « Pomposa », il l’associe aux marrons dans une composition de sablé à la farine de ch��taigne, d’un biscuit moelleux aux éclats de marrons, d’une crème aux marrons glacés et d’une crème mascarpone à la rose.À la première cuillère on reconnaît le génie du maître dans le travail des saveurs. Rose et marron s’entremêlent, se font écho, se rejoignent à nouveau dans cet entremet, riche et généreux, parfait à déguster durant les frimas de l’hiver.

LA TRADITION RUSSE

Nina Métayer, pâtissière créative du Café Pouchkine, cligne de l’œil en direction de Moscou.  Cette année, sa bûche prend la forme de cigarettes russes. Il y a bien entendu le graphisme et l’élégance particulièrement soignés de ces cylindres qu’elle superpose, mais il y a également son remarquable travail des textures et des goûts. La talentueuse pâtissière associe un biscuit moelleux à la noisette torréfiée et le croustillant de la pâte filo, mariés avec grâce à une mousse noisette, un crémeux chocolat-noisette, un praliné croustillant et une ganache montée au jus et zestes de bergamote. Cette buche est un total moment de gourmandise.

L’OBÉLISQUE DE LA CONCORDE

Pour sa bûche, Pablo Gicquel, jeune et brillant pâtissier de l’hôtel de Crillon, rend une nouvelle fois hommage à Marie-Antoinette, s’inspirant des colonnes cannelées présentent dans la suite qu’occupait la reine. Son entremet prend la forme d’une élégante colonne dorique de couleur blanche. Cette bûche associe harmonieusement les parfums du cassis cuit au feu de bois, des notes de myrtilles et des amandes du Languedoc pour un dessert tout en fraicheur et en légèreté.

6-8 parts – 120 € – Disponible jusqu’au 6 janvier – Réservation crillon.restauration@rosewoodhotels.com ou 01 44 71 15 17

L’INCONTOURNABLE BÛCHE CHOCOLAT

Difficile de faire l’impasse sur le chocolat au moment du dessert… Y compris en période de fête, c’est un incontournable. Florian Oltra, le pâtissier de la Boulangerie de la Tour, à Paris, joue, pour notre plus grand bonheur, la carte de la tradition. Il a travaillé sur un biscuit viennois, ultra moelleux, roulé, après avoir été généreusement nappé d’une qu’il a garnit ganache montée au chocolat et d’un praliné feuillantine. Avouons que ce combo là fait toujours son petit effet auprès de nos papilles, affichant ici, équilibre et gourmandise, pour une bûche, qui, c’est sûr, fera l’unanimité.  

5-6 parts – 38 € – Commande en boulangerie ou au 01 43 54 62 53

LE SÛR-MESURE

Pour les fêtes, le glacier Meilleur Ouvrier de France David Wesmaël offre la possibilité de créer soi-même sa bûche glacée. Sur une base composée d’un socle de meringue, d’un praliné croustillant à la noisette et d’une glace vanille au cœur coulant de caramel, sur laquelle sont déposées des boules glacées aux élégantes associations : glace pistache, sorbet acidulée à la griotte ou glace marrons d’Ardèche, sorbet clémentine corse et confit de cassis noir de Bourgogne par exemple. À vous de choisir vos alliances, avec bien l’ultime possibilité de ne choisir qu’une seule boule glacée sur votre socle.

MORE HIGH WAISTED PANTS FOR MEN !!! NOW !!!

^ I screamed into the void, so I did it myself... More coming!

These are stolen from a full-body store outfit, with essentially the top cut off & the UV map and textures resized to fit within the pants UV space only. THAT part was easy. Then I got to making sure the higher-than-usual waist acted normal, and now we're two days later.

Download SFS/ Mediafire

Everyday, formal, outerwear, career

Young adult & adult male

High waisted version (grey and green flames) and slightly lower waisted version (dark pink floral and turquoise baroque)

2-channel plain version and a 3-channel ombre version of each

All morphs, as shown above

All LODS for both versions:

HLOD: 656 Verts, 988 Faces

MLOD: 322 Verts, 482 faces

LLOD: 182 Verts, 240 Faces

Custom Thumbnails, these:

Imperfections:

Mild clipping at the waist in more extreme movements at max weight/fitness. Trust me, I tried, I learned weightpainting in blender for this bitch.

The high-high waisted version clips with some croptops, the slightly lower high waist still has a slight gap with some. As all tops are different, it's the best I could do.

Anything else, let me know ASAP!

Made with:

Blender 3.6

Meshtoolkit

Smugtomato’s Geom tools

TSRW

S3PE

With thanks to @blamseastore where I got the OG storefile I stole the pants from

With roundabout thanks to @sim-songs whose Rusty Urban city set High waisted pants I used as a ref somewhere along the way, it was a spur of the moment try-out so I forgot to ask.

Nucrest Cocoa Hoodie V2 4to3 conversion

My Castable version of the Cocoa Hoodie (version 2) by @nucrests.

I made 4 castable versions: Fullzip, Fullzip ombre, Halfzip, and halfzip ombre, each with 4 channels (see below). They're presets of one item.

Sorta-collab with my friend @geminipixels, who preferred converting the original overlays instead. I didn't plan to have this released so soon, but I got sucked into it :P I have a headache now... (I started on this ~2 days ago)

Everyday, athletic and outerwear (with accessory turtlenecks)

Young adult & adult male

Polycount: 4543 HLOD, 2852 MLOD, 1073 LLOD

All morphs, manually edited with Geom tools

4 Recolorable presets

Custom Made specular map to give the zipper justice

Custom thumbnails

Disabled for random

I had fun with the pre-made presets which I made with my sims in mind. Of course, the point of these is that they're *very* castable so I don't expect people to actually use these hyperspecific presets!

Download SFS / Mediafire

^I apparently had halfzip not-ombre selected/lightened up in CASt, but you can still see the channels: red - yellow - pink - white

Issues:

As you can see, their is a slightly weird fold at the armhole at the highest weight

Might have waistseam issues with some CC bottoms. In the pictures cc bottoms from 4 different creators are being worn. (Virtual-Hugs, MeochiCC, Peacemaker-IC and Nectar-Cellar)

Any other issues, please let me know ASAP!

Edit: i forgot to compress and the file is somehow 13 MB ... I merge & compress everything myself, but I will update with a compressed version tomorrow.

Made with:

Blender 4.2 and 3.6

With big thanks to @thornowl for helping me with the colorchannels (having 4 channels work in TSRW requires and extra step, apparently) and @geminipixels @simlicious and @elvgreen and more for general encouragement :)

Sleeveless blazer with poet Blouse

A frankenmesh of my Sleeveless Blazer from before (which was based on an ITF mesh) and a top from the store.

I made a custom normal map & repainted a lot about the specular and multiplier map, as well as retroactively doing boneweightpainting after I learnt very recently.

Regina Raven Dusk Dress 4 to 3 conversion

Conversion of the Dusk dress by @regina-raven. I have wanted this dress since late november/early december (don't know when exactly), and was actually my motivation for wanting to learn to create/convert clothes but felt intimated by it. @bartoszsims3 did an attempt at first but he lost all his files at some point, and I had learned a lot in the meantime, so here it is! The gorgeous scandalous Dusk dress by Regina Raven.

Download SFS / Mediafire

Everyday, formal, career, is revealing

Young adult & adult male - It's inappropiate for teenagers and it would have to be a very confident 70 year old.

The original has a female version, but I found this unnecessary. Feel free to convert, tho.

4 Presets with different masks

Fat, Fit, Thin morphs

All LODS:

HLOD: 2268 Verts, 3811 Faces

MLOD: 1116 Verts, 1735 faces

LLOD: 601 Verts, 841 Faces

Masks

@lwillowlthewicked for these divider thingies

@Regina-raven for the original texture & part of mesh (top part is painted-on texture)

Made with Blender 3.6, Meshtoolkit, The Sims Resource Workshop and Affinity Photo/Designer

It's a conversion, but I did quite a bit to it - i.e. I repainted how much is sequin and "flamy" on the legs, making it cover more of the leg, as otherwise skin texture would be on the dress where it would be empty between legs space in real life, and I also had to redraw a lot about the neckline, abusing the clonetool for the sequin texture, to make it fit the UV Lay-out of the ts3 torso. I also did manual boneweight painting & morph editing and ofc painted the 4 different masks.

No female version as previously established because there are more than enough slutty party dresses for female sims & of a lot of unisex TS4 items, only the female version gets converted if it is on the femme side.

Intimate Convo - Poseset By Gitte

Another dramatic story pose set, in this case my character Finn (Pink) talking about their past to my MC Florian (Green), and having a hard time doing so. What's being told is chapters 29.1 - 29.2 of my story and those are chapters I made a giant CW post beforehand, so...Yeah.

There is a time gap in the poses - between 3 - 4 and 5 - 6, I used pictures of what was being told in my own story. 3 - 4 is Pink starting to tell it, while 5 - 6 is pink being totally broken after telling it.

Download PoseLIST SFS/ Mediafire

Download Non-poselist SFS/ Mediafire

(Non-Poselist is a big file because it includes all the crisp PNG images shown below)

Pictures & codes Below the cut

Some small details were edited once more after taking the pictures. Mainly the hands.

a_Intimateconvo1: Pink - leans against green on the couch, staring ahead, knees raised a_Intimateconvo2: Green - sits on their knees on the couch as pink comes sit next to them, gently holds pink

a_Intimateconvo3: Pink - Tells something to green, looks at them a_Intimateconvo4: Green - Looks at pink

a_Intimateconvo5: Pink - Tightly holds onto green, crumbled up like a baby, crying a_Intimateconvo6: Green - Gently holds pink trying to wipe of their tears; stares ahead, shocked by what they were told

a_Intimateconvo7: Pink - Still crying, sitting up a bit more a_Intimateconvo8: Green - Kisses pink on the forehead

a_Intimateconvo9: Pink - After being proposed to do something "fun", like watching a cute movie or something, pink starts kissing green's neck because that's also fun ;) a_Intimateconvo10: Green - Surprised at pink starting to kiss them, but doesn't matter, as long as they're happy.

These poses were VERY hard to make - they kept looking funky due to the intimate positions, clipping with themselves, the other sim or the couch - they went through 5 rounds of blender.

As usual, the use of alt and omsp might be necessary.

Because it's the couch my sims had, the poses are made with the "Expensive Camel Back" couch (BG). This couch isn't particularly versatile, but none of the poses lean on the back or side in a particular way so they should work with most Couches

I also used @aroundthesims' Seat height Deco cushion

If there are any issues, please tell me.

A Very Gay Wedding pose set

Gay couple, one half of which has two moms and they're also non-cis. Aka how gay can a wedding be? Very gay.

Some clipping depending on clothes & bodytype is unavoidable, though I make my blender rigs mid-weight and max-fitness, so should work for relatively buff sims.

Use of Alt & omsp might be needed but they're made in such a way it technically shouldn't be, though not all poses are in the same spot relative to the centre (i.e. you might have to replace your sims between 4 & 5 and 4b & 5b)

Green poses require bouquet, Original is by BEO creations but version enabled for male sims is here

Zip file includes List Package and non-list package, text file with posecodes, and collages seen below.

a_Finnianwedding1: Green (left) - Sim staring ahead at lover holding bouquet a_Finnianwedding2: Blue (right) - Female sim giving away child, looking menacingly at in-laws (Used in story) a_Finnianwedding2b: Blue - Female sim giving away child, lovingly looking up at child (The less niche alternative)

a_Finnianwedding3: Pink - sim waiting at the altar staring at lover

a_Finnianwedding4: Green - sim talking to mother at the altar a_Finnianwedding5: Blue - mother of the broom telling child something/encouraging child

a_Finnianwedding4b: Green - broom looks at partner at the altar a_Finnianwedding5b: blue - mother of the broom backs off

Florian lives In Switzerland, a trilingual country, and their family is originally from North America, resulting in:

English, fluently, communicates in English only with some familymembers. I can imagine their aunt and uncle's German being mediocre, as well as their grandmother's when she still lived.

Swiss German, fluently. Swiss German and English are in a way both their native language. I can totally imagining them switching up mid-sentence with the other familymembers of their generation, as they and their sisters & cousins are all fluent in both.

French, not fluent-fluent but will become fluent quickly if triggered

Basic Italian cus it's a national language + a pretty language and Flo likes pretty

Notions of Spanish due to travels to Isla Paradiso

Notions of Mandarin Chinese through Finn + travels to Shang Simla

Finn, on the other hand:

Mandarin Chinese, native language

Fluent English, which he spoke with most people for the last 8 years

Moderate Spanish due to living in Isla Escudo and then Isla Paradiso for a while, but in Escudo he wasn't allowed to leave the house/private island and Isla Paradiso is very international.

Beginner notions of Swiss German but not too bothered to learn it fluently cus everyone in Flo's family speaks fluent English anyway.

can your oc speak several languages?

[toadifylackoffantasy]

ANYWAY who's interested? Who wants green/blue/red/purple/yellow/black/white/actual skintone accessory freckles? They were soooo easy to make I could do it for all lifestages!

I will alter the placement a little, you can't see painted-on accessories in tsrw so I just kinda guesstimated based on the vanilla skintone multi I got from skininator on MTS
