Aurora Skies Makeover, Vol. 6 - The Dairy/Bread Bakery

For the Vinter's dairy and bread bakery, I just placed a 30x30 lot right next door to their house, put The Medieval Cottage by xNikki in the front corner, changed the lot type to community, did some rearranging inside, and popped in some cows. I decided to add the bread part on to the business just to try and spread out the baking for the town.

The wide view of the downstairs and upstairs:

All the shelves, displays and trays were changed into Savvier Seller ones using icarus_allsorts Transmogrifier or Debug Enabler. I've been into using trays lately. (:

Sunna seems to be more in a business frame of mind while Tinna just thinks about cheese.

I started to add things to this post about mods and running the bakery and ordering stock and unowned bakeries and all the rest, but it started to get really crazy. I'm happy to share, but it seemed a bit much for one post.

If you see any cc in the photos you want for your own game though, it's probably all on my pinterest here. Any shelves, displays, trays, etc., should all be saved in my Sims 3 Shop CC & Mods board, Shelves & Displays section. All cow stuff should be in Sims 3 Pets & Animals board. The ones in the photos are Danjaley's.

Townie Makeover Gifs!

I decided to try turning my makeover posts into gifs as I kept flicking the layers on and off to see the changes I had made myself sooooo here we go! The picture quality isn’t as good but at least you can see the more subtle changes now more easily

I tried to make Gunnar Hannes look more like a misunderstood artist who has an Etsy shop, but sadly he never sells anything. It may well be because he is more into conceptial art that nobody seems to get and he refuses to sell out by making something that appeals to the mainstream crowd. I may have chuckled when I spotted this in his bio: “Despite being an artist, he lacks any Creativity skill“. That chuckle died fast when I remembered that my art uni lecturer once rather casually said you are not a true artist untill you have been written about by professional art critics after exhibiting in a well known art gallery ಥ_ಥ

Yuri Apple is one of the many ex-wives of Lief Helgason (You can see his makeover here) whom she hates, they also have a son together who in return dislikes her very much. According to her bio Yuri has a fickle nature and she doesn’t like to be tied down, but in my game the story progression made things go absolutely wild and dramalicious for her. I guess she either did it out of spite or her marriage was truly so bad she ended up ditching men altogether and married an infamously cranky elderly lady Tinna Vinter. This game can be quite hilarious!

Aurora Skies Makeover, Vol. 5 - The Vinter Household

I'm currently still playing in the Vinter Household, which now has Tinna, Veronika, and Astrid Vinter, Gunnar Hannes, and little Sunna the Icelandic Sheepdog. This was their house before:

It had huge boxy rooms and felt cold. This what their house is now:

I put them in Little Farm by fanieb, which feels a lot cozier. It just happened to be a similar exterior color, which is fun. The main thing I did to the outside was to take out the big buildings on the right (horse stable and garage?) and put in the cow barn.

I take ZERO credit for the cow barn, that is 100% Tedhi aka @franglishetchocolat. It's attached to the house on her really neat Les Vergers lot that goes in her Vintage Champs les Sims world. I just loved the barn and rebuilt it on this lot and it fit perfectly.

More exterior pics of the Vinter house:

And the downstairs, upstairs, and basement:

I did a fair bit of recoloring, but I try to leave things generally as they are for a while when playing downloaded lots. I've lived with my own decorating for years in my game, so it's fun to play with someone else's for a while before tearing it up.

I also try to leave premade sims' clothing and hair and face alone for a while unless I absolutely hate it or there's issues like bad clipping between hair and outfit for instance.

I did redo the kitchen a bit with cc though, and because I can't leave things alone, I did do things like turn the hutch from the Frontier Finds store set into storage with the Transmogrifier.

There isn't much of it here, but if you see any cc you want for your game, it's probably all on my pinterest here, but feel free to ask.

Veronika is up there baking bread to sell at their dairy next door, which is coming along. She just needs to get her skill up so she can bake baguettes.

Tinna Vinter was actually the first sim in my hood to have the want to adopt a pet.

So I found her a little Icelandic Sheepdog and named her Sunna. They're sooo cute together, and I really like Tinna, so extra cute.

I found the little doggie here.
