The curtains that came with the Desert Luxe kit are everyone's new favourite build item, and for good reason. The neutrals they come in are great, and work in all types of rooms, but come on... they needed more swatches, right?

Once owned by legendary entertainers Frank Simatra and Simmy Davis Jr, The Solar Flare was THE place to be. Sadly, times change, and a series of scandalous (and grizzly) stories saw the famous hotel and lounge fall into disrepair. New owners have tried to bring The Solar Flare back to its former glory, but it can't quite shake its dark reputatio...

ThrifTea is actually two stores in one. On the left is the bubble tea shop, a cosy, intimate setting for good conversation and excellent beverages. On the right is the thrift store, a maximalist clutter heaven with everything your thrifty Sims need.
Above the bubble tea shop is a fully-featured apartment, and above the thrift store is an o...

I was building an art deco building with the new build-buy items from High School Years and getting frustrated that there weren't more wall options that matched the window colours. I decided I had to make some myself (I do love my walls), and that meant creating a palette that matched.
Deco Revival has 12 swatches that match the colours on...

The lighting in the Copperdale world that came with High School Years has very harsh, black shadows at midday, as well as a strong teal-green tint to the overall lighting. I've made a MultiLUT shader that tries to make the shadows less intense, and also neutralises that green tint.
This ISN'T a full ReShade preset. It is one shade...

Taking a quick look at what items have come with the most recent packs since I've been away, there was one in particular I had to recolour.
The Truly Fearless Wainscoting is perfect for adding detail to all sorts of walls, and considering I've recoloured so many in Image Spectra and Dream Pop I needed these to match.
I'm going to be ...

Thank you for your patience waiting for me to come back and update Shiftable Mirrors.
I've added the mirrors from Werewolves and Decor to the Max. I think those are the only packs since I've been gone to add new mirrors. If there have been any others, for example any that were added for free to the base game, please let me know.
I was asked over on my discord server if I'd ever recoloured the Sunlit Stone walls from Cottage Living, and I hadn't! So here they are.

I want to apologise for my quietness recently. I haven't lost interest in The Sims 4, nor in making cc, ReShade presets, or building. My PC has been getting more and more troublesome over a number of months now, and I think it is likely to fail completely sometime this year. I'm trying to do what I can to ward off that failure, which in part mea...

Drift was made for one of my lovely Patreon subscribers. My starting point was a handful of sample pictures they gave me that had a muted, sepia, dreamlike feel. The brief was something more for taking screenshots than for everyday gameplay, which is always music to my ears. The result is Drift.

I don't always take requests, but when I received one over at tumblr to recolour the floors from Journey to Batuu I couldn't resist -- first, because I love recolouring floors and walls because I'm strange like that, and second because they really are some of the best floors in the game and it's criminal they only come in 2 colours each.

It's been 5,000 years since I last recoloured a floor. I was unsatisfied with the range of wood tones in the Cottage Living wood floor. Thankfully, the Image Spectra palette has a nice range, plus a whole bunch of other beautiful colours too. And Dream Pop has the funky bright colours, because options are good.
