Smaller Desks Part 2

Another batch of desks made smaller, this time ones that look a bit more "unusual" than the standard fare. The Little Princess's Little Desk presets match the Animal Friends Tall Shelf from HERE.

More smaller desks HERE.

Issues: if you use the PC with the CRT monitor, it will clip with the shelf on the Ode to Distraction desk. The desk footprints also look 2x1 but have an actual 1x1 footprint, and you can place objects to the side of them without MOO.

Several items, repurposed into incense holders

For the newest iteration of "what can I repurpose these meshes into?", we have incense holders! They will give sims moodlets according to the WA incense holders they were cloned from.

"Neuronic Synergy" (Chinese): Illuminator of the Illuminati, Jack O', Tasty Fruit;

"Love is in the Air" (French): Bridal Bouquet, Le Petit Eiffel;

"Totally Mellow" (Egyptian): Triple Pumpkin, Tropical Water Lily;

can be found under Accents, Indoor Activities, and Misc Entertainment for $350;

most have 3 channels, some have different stencil variants;

they are smaller than the incense holders that come with WA;

they all require the World Adventures EP.

If you want the incense holders to give off different moodlets, you can change their script classes manually or using the Transmogrifier.

More Planters Part 3

How many planters does one game even need?

These can all be found under Decor \ Plants; most have 3 channels and have a footprint of 1x1, but can be Alt-placed closer together without requiring MOO. All come with recolorable soil.

Issues: plants will clip with the handle of the Handle on Luck Planter. I lowered the soil as much as I could, but it's inevitable.

Don’t require the Supernatural EP, just being at that patch level. Many thanks to @sims3thingsbymd3434/marydehoyos for her findings on how to enable planters for trees! These planters are, thus, tree-compatible.

Also see more separated planters: first set, second set.

Forbidden Vampire Tomb

Do you dare approach the mysterious tomb forgotten by time underneath the ivy? Is the possible reward worth the risk? Note: does not apply to vampires. It's perfectly safe to sleep here. If you are a vampire.

Remember my first vampire bed? Well, you can now upgrade your vampire's bare-bones pine box (or uncomfortable slab) to the premium Forbidden Tomb from the Grim's Ghastly Manor Store set!

This went through four stages: first I used the original unrecolorable ivy overlay for all stencils; then I made it into three unrecolorable stencil variants; after that, I made the ivy into a 4th channel... and finally, I figured, why not make a plain version as well?

Details:

both versions require the Late Night EP;

3x4 footprint (compared to the altar's 1x3);

3 presets, found under Beds for $5500;

with ivy: 4449 polys, 4 channels;

without ivy: 4106 polys, 3 channels.

📌Issues (visual only):

there is some clipping with the bottom rim of the pedestal when vampires get in/out of bed. If your sim is wearing large accessories (like wings), they may clip through the tomb mesh.

The candle and smoke effects still happen but only the smoke will show up, coming out from the lion heads in the front and back.

They Don't Build 'Em Like They Used To Desk (Smaller)

A surface you can write on, without any bells or whistles. Well, maybe some bells, but absolutely no whistling!

This has been in the "will get to it eventually" folder for ages. It's not perfectly 1-tile, just slightly over that since the mesh looked awful if squished even more than that. I had to make the top smaller to match, anyway. You could probably squeeze it within one tile, between other objects, and be OK routing-wise.

Found under Desks, $170, 3 presets.

Does not conflict with the Store desk.

Recommended: Other smaller desks and 1-tile dressers by me.

Smaller cribs

This time I bring you smaller cribs for use in more cramped spaces. Unfortunately, due to their designs and toddlers being fairly long, the cribs don't fit in a 1x1 space perfectly but can be Alt-placed within 1 tile and have other objects placed next to them.

Issues: toddlers will grab the air while shaking the crib gates, and sims will also rest their hands above the gates after putting toddlers inside. Haven't found a solution for this, the bones seem fine so I suspect it's an animation issue. In some cribs, there is also some minor clipping between the front posts and the gate, when the gate is up.

Store Pauper Pedestal as dining chair

It's always annoyed me how this stool is fine as a chair, yet EA only provided it as a surface to place things on. So, here you have a dining/desk chair version of it! It has 3 channels and comes with 3 presets (the first one matches the dining table, which is pictured above).

Some Store shelves decluttered

For a long time, I've poked and prodded at shelves in an attempt to add container slots to them, until recently when I figured — why not take the easy way out and just clone coffee tables? Some of them, I went as far as separating them into pieces to make them more versatile...and because it's fun to take meshes and textures apart.

Available under Displays and Misc Surfaces.

The wall shelves are shiftable and go down with the walls.

The slot types differ. All of them support small objects, but placing medium or large objects on some slots will disable the slots next to them (normal behavior).

Store Arts and Crafts Desk (1-tile version)

Not much to say about this. It's another 2-tile desk made 1-tile. It has 3 channels and 3 presets. The only issue is that the mouse and mousepad hang a bit off the side of the desk.

Addons to Store Forest Curtains

Since the vampire bed wasn't bad enough, I decided to take on this project: making 2- and 3-tile versions of this Store curtain. This time I got to figure out diagonal states, so that was fun 🙃 And I ended up making a slightly wider version of the original 1-tile version anyway, since it clipped with any window that touched the edges of that 1-tile space, and I hated that. You can see how all versions look above, against the basegame 'Back to Basix' window.

This set contains three curtains — 1x, 2x and 3x. They all come in 3 presets and 3 channels; the third channel (the rod) isn't the greatest in terms of pattern tiling. All curtains can be shifted on the wall, and cover the same number of tiles diagonally (e.g. the 2x curtain will cover two tiles in both the normal and the diagonal version).

Polycount: 358 (1x), 422 (2x), 486 (3x)

⚠️ Since the curtains don't snap to walls (intended behavior, not a bug), you will have to use the < and > keys to rotate them before placing.

For future reference, I used these TSRW flags to make the base mesh and the diagonal mesh shiftable:

Normal mesh: ObjectTypeFlags: HideWhenWallDown, AllowWallObjectOnGround; WallPlacementFlags: WFMinZ, WFOnWall, WFApplyCutoutDiagonalShift, WFCanBeMovedUpAndDownOnWall.

Diagonal mesh: ObjectTypeFlags: HideWhenWallDown, IsDiagonal; WallPlacementFlags: WF01To10Diag, WFOnWall, WFIntersectsObjectsOffWall, WFCanBeMovedUpAndDownOnWall.

Several items, repurposed into functional hampers

While digging around my to-do folders, I came across this "maybe" project that I decided to try my hand at. There was a bit of a learning curve, since I haven't had to deal with geostates in years, but I eventually got the hang of it.

All three hampers come in two versions:

regular: these collect clothes only from the rooms they're in.

super: will auto-collect all laundry on the lot, so only one hamper is necessary per lot. These require NonaMena's Super Hampers script!

Both versions require the Ambitions EP! You can have both the regular and super versions installed at the same time, if you want. They all come in 3 presets. Readme file included in archive.

Issues: some hampers' textures may look blurry while you're recoloring them/in CASt mode, but they look fine in Live Mode.

Store Hunger-Inducing Sushi Pillows, separated

Packed with nutrition, eating just one Sushi Pillow will more than meet your daily fluff dietary requirements!

I got an ask a few days ago from someone looking for these pillows, separated. I have no idea if anyone's done it before, so I figured — why not take a crack at it?

The pillows are decorative items that can be found under Misc Decor and Kids Decor for various prices. They all have 2-4 channels and 3 presets, and some have texture variations too. As a bonus, I've included three sushi-themed dining chairs cobbled together from these pillows.

ETA: the pillows are all floor-level, so you will need OMSPs (see below) to raise them on beds and other surfaces!

Concerns: the nigiri sushi pillow floats above the ground, so you can have its tail hanging off a surface. Sims will push the air above the dining chairs, but that's only a cosmetic issue.

De-coffinated Vampire Bed

Some rate it an "uninspired piece of Halloween chintz", others - "not the worst bed I've floated above". One thing is certain: it is, undoubtedly, a surface one can float above.

I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am to bring you this! It all started from a coffin-shaped coffee table that came with a Halloween set from September 2011; I thought it'd make a nice bed for an actual vampire, so I set off to work on it. It's not 100% the way I envisioned it — the coffin directly on the floor, and then every box being recolorable individually —, but it's Close Enough™. You could argue that no self-respecting vampire would put their bed directly on the floor.

I owe a lot to this discussion between Nilxis and Bloom, for helping me fix distorted textures (who knew one puny normal map could cause such frustration?). The UV map isn't amazing and I recommend using vertical textures, but I hope that the pattern tiling makes it look alright-ish 😅

Requires the Late Night EP.

4 channels, 3 presets. 2x4 footprint.

On a separate note, if anyone knows how to do away with the candle effects, I'd love to make a version without the candles. They didn't seem to be attached to any bones or slots in TSRW.

Ultramodern Expanded!

Another project I kicked myself into finishing. This one was mostly started because this was an easy mesh to experiment with, a little more complex than a box. The originals come from the Ultra Lounge set and are not required.

Contents:

the original dresser (2-tile, added 3rd preset) + a 1-tile version;

the original end table (1-tile, added 3rd preset);

coffee table (1 and 2 tiles);

desks (1 and 2 tiles).

Each of these can be found under their respective categories. All objects have 3 channels and 3 presets (all the same).

Store Theo's Contemporary Set expanded

A handful of objects to complement the dining table from the Ultra Lounge set. I figured that the mesh was pretty nice and versatile.

Included items: a dining chair, a bar stool, an end table, a small coffee table. All have 3 recolorable channels and the same presets.

Issues:

if the other slots of the end table are occupied, it's difficult to put an object on the SE slot (the ivy colored in red). I recommend putting the object on another slot and using M to move it.

sims will grab the air when moving the dining chair. It's inevitable.

Plants separated from planters

This is a project I went for on a whim, while working on the previous set of planters. Most of the plants have 4 channels, because I wanted them to be as customizable as possible. The only unavoidable overlays (flowers) are in the Sun Cacti object, and I tried to provide acceptable variations.

It was difficult for me to decide where in the catalog to put these, because most wouldn't expect recolorable stuff in Build. Therefore, you will find these under Buy Mode \ Decor \ Plants, and Outside \ Lawn Decor. They aren't Speedtree objects, so they don't sway in the wind. The Cleaned Branches are also under Decor \ Sculptures, and only have one recolorable channel.

The pots are available as planters HERE and HERE.
