Seasonal Flowers Collection

A collection of flowers that I converted from Sims 4, retextured and tweaked.

There are 9 meshes in total, all flowers are seasonal, can intersect with objects and sims, are quarter tile placeable and won’t have falling leaves in autumn. I also disabled them in hood view. They all have recolors (except for lavender) and some of them have additional flowerless recolors to be used as grass. Certain flowers bloom in spring, summer and autumn, while others get flowers only in spring and summer.

Polycount:

Forest flowers - 532 Forest flowers on fern - 416 Creeping flower - 588 Lavender V1 - 1968 Lavender V2 - 702 Lavender V3 - 268 Field flowers - 738 Big ground cover - 1104 Small ground cover - 688

All flowers:

All recolors:

Some combinations:

Compressed, clearly labelled (except for recolors, they are just numbered), pictures included.

Seasonal local flowers

I was coming back from the grocery store yesterday, saw these in bloom, and realized that hereabouts stella d’oro is a Cancer solstice bloom:

I don’t see a lot of them cultivated here, as green and gold happen to be the colors of our university’s main in-state rival….

The other flowers I see are wild sweet pea (a weed out here):

…and chicory:

Since I am heggaching away at the moment, I thought some flowers would be a good, soothing blog post for the day (not requiring a lot of thought or heavy-duty thinking). What’s abloom where you are?

I recently received an order from a customer who wanted a replica of the Halloween crescent I had made for display. She also purchased the large piece of teak I had in the shop. After finishing the crescent, I found myself short on hanging space, so I temporarily hooked it over the teak. To my surprise, the combination looked fantastic, and now I’m inspired to get more wood and hang crescent-shaped flowers on them.

I love the effect it created, even though it wasn’t intentional. I’m unsure how it will look with different colors - orange seems to really make it pop - but I’m excited to experiment with other hues and give it a try.

The Benefits of Choosing Locally Grown Flowers for Your Arrangements

In recent years, the relevance of sustainability has grown significantly across a wide range of industries, including the floral industry. As eco-consciousness grows, more couples and event planners are choosing locally-grown, seasonal flowers over imported alternatives.

some say the goat will end in fire some say in ice from what I've read on the Wikipedia page of past Goat-destroying efforts, I'm pretty sure none of us were reckoning on absolute swarms of hungry birds but birds are also great and will suffice

you know how some people are 'that kitten/puppy is so ugly, its cute!'? well i have developed that about flowers (and other plants) now, 'that garish colour combo is so boldy ugly! i just love it!'

i don’t think you understand

we have had aabria autumn on d20 since 2020, when she stole the show as myrtle in pirates of leviathan. you could feel her inhabiting that mermaid over a zoom screen. felt like i was watching a mermaid roll around in a life-size martini glass full of vodka with my own eyes.

then she changed the game with mismag in 2021, bringing kids on brooms, personalized props, lighting effects, and projections to the dome, after which she held it down as antiope jones. the reluctant leader, the late bloomer who is not late but merely arriving in her own time.

in 2022 she came back with kisses, with regency, with good society, with flowers and tokens and projections and a willingness to follow up on consequences that never stopped moving. wuvvy my beloved. kill me with the devotion of a life lived in service to the one you love why don’t you.

in 2023 she was the spiciest assassin. fit for the genre in fits for the genre. replacing skalds like she was born to do it. and then burrow’s end. a genre exploration with a splash of the violence of dnd and the tragicomedy of family. beautiful sets, incredible audiovisual effects, and horror both visceral and cosmic.

in 2024? she’s back with wizards baby. she’s taking a 4 episode jaunt of americans becoming wizards in britain and making an adventure of eleven episodes. planets move, the dm screen talks, and the wind is on the rise.

aabria adds such a fun, artistic, genre-bending, cinematic flavor to her time in the dome; it’s no wonder that the Q4 mid-length season is hers.
