I know I said I’d never make a kitchen again because it really is a complete nightmare, but I saw a pic of one I really liked, and it was all over. So here we are :P

Its not a huge or particularly complete set (I didn’t bother with appliances, there are plenty of usable EA ones!) but it includes:

Kitchen counter;
Kitchen island counter;
Fridge surround (specifically made for my favourite fridge – the late night one, found in the wall cabinets section);
Wall cabinet;
Full wall cabinet;
A vertically shiftable wall mounted credenza (found in display surfaces);
A soffit that works as a wall cabinet (it has a corner piece included), plus a free standing version in case you wanted some sort of dropped ceiling or something, I dunno, I found it useful :P
A simple halogen ceiling spotlight;
A deco bowl of oranges (found in misc sculptures);
A craspedia (aka billy balls) plant in a vase (found in plants);
A 1920’s industrial style pendant light;
plus I included a separate horizontal and vertical version the wood pattern I made specifically for this kitchen.

Kitchen counters must be installed via the launcher as far as I know, but everything else can be installed as package if you so desire. I’ll leave conversion up to you!

If you encounter a problem where the counters name appears to be blank in the catalogue, or the corner or end pieces of the counters seem to disappear when connected to another counter, try restarting your game, and if that doesn’t fix it, try reinstalling the counters. There should be no issues with anything else!

I hope you have more fun playing with this kitchen than I had making it! Hahah :D

There’s a bit of a trick to the sofa. I made the pattern specifically for it, but when I applied it to the sofa the pattern was a little small. So I reduced the tiling so the pattern appears larger, and I added another variation with a smaller tile so small patterns look better on it. The original sofa I modelled this off was super fuzzy, had almost a fur-like texture, and I wanted to sortof replicate that but I also wanted to be able to have patterns over the fuzz if I wanted, so what I’m trying to say is there is in total 4 variations (on the same mesh of course), 2 fuzzy (with different pattern tiling sizes) and 2 plain (with different pattern tiling sizes). You’ll get the picture when you play around with it in game, its not as confusing as I seem to be making it out to be. I just like options :P

I also Made a few patterns to go with it, the pattern you see on the couch (which is Marimekko) I am including separately, plus a couple vintage Knoll upholstery patterns which I figured I’d share with y’all as well :)

You get a platform bed (with actual legs this time, not a solid base), which looks great by itself or with the headboard/sidetable combo dealie (found in Misc Surfaces), the curviest table lamp I’ve ever made (lol) a matching dresser, a super sleek diamond shaped mirror, a channel back armchair, some fabulous Japanese panel artworks, and a decorative fitted bedspread (found in Misc Decor). ~ Please note that the bedspread covers the entire bed, so won’t be suitable for normal gameplay. But it’ll look fab if you’re just into taking pics! ~

In case you’re wondering, I made the bed and headboard separate so I could have the maximum of options – slots for the tables, the ability to mix and match headboards for the bed etc. You will need to use moveobjects on to place it at the head of the bed. So there ya go :)

Today I finally have a dining set for you. It is inspired by the work of Danish designer Hans Wegner, and my love for his famous Round Chair.

Included in the set:
2 dining chairs,
a 3 tile and a 2 tile dining table,
a sabre leg high board (it’s like a sideboard, but taller and thinner! found in Misc Surfaces),
a candlestick (empty, found in Misc Deco, and a version as a table lamp with candles in it),
and a lovely bent wood pendant lamp.
OH YEAH! I also included a bunch of mid century art on the mesh I made for the Living Sims Christmas gift, so I figured I might as well share it with you guys :) Oh and I also included a pattern I put together yesterday which will fit in beautifully with your mid century homes. You can see it in the room preview, on the curtains. Love that pattern!

Now, as in real life, so in The Sims.
These tables & chairs are not cheap for your Sims! Good design costs money, so your Sims are either gonna have to save up or cheat like hell to pay for them :D
I hope you all enjoy the set, I had a great time making it :)

Oh! by the way! Feel free to follow me on Twitter, I often post screenshots of work in progress, and other sims and non-sims related rambling, but please note that it is not always PG-13 :)

By popular demand I am dumping a few things here that have been released with Redcliffs, for those who want them, but don’t want Redcliffs.

Awesims Cornices

3 cornices that are actually fences. Found in fences obviously! Also included is a little deco end post (found in sculptures, by the gnome) that I like to place (I couldn’t make it work attached to the actual fence, so separate it is. Turns out it allows for greater flexibility of use anyway, so win!). Each cornice has 3 recolourable parts.

The Duncan Window & window decoration

I saw this window on a picture of a house and the rest is history. Fell in love – HAD to have it. So here you go. Its a single tile window, but looks great in groups of 2 or 3 or however many you want. It comes with 2 presets, one fancy, one plain. I also made a little er.. I’m not sure what it’s called, but it is basically just the top bit of the Duncan window, and as it happens it looks great over top of Madaya74’s classic windows, which I use *a lot*. The deco thingy is found in curtains, the window… well if I have to explain that…

Masonry Wallpapers

The geometric-y walls are inspired by a building across the road from my gym. It comes in 3 parts, a left, right, and single tile piece. 4 recolourable parts, found in masonry in the walls catalogue. The other one is just something I came up with from some picture online I guess, also 4 recolourable parts, also found in masonry :) Comes in the standard middle bit, and a left and right piece.

And now, the infamous Geneva Kitchen

Heavily inspired (pretty much copied) by Pam at Retro Renovations goooorgeous kitchen, this kitchen is my mid century dream kitchen! As it is now, well honestly, its messy. There are texture tiling issues, slight seams between counters at certain angles (though I have also noticed this in some EA counters, so you know), sink choices are limited, and yeah its generally in an unfinished but pretty workable state, and unfortunately I don’t have the motivation to finish/fix it up. But I am literally inundated with WCIF’s for it, and I figure I might as well release it as it is now and people can have at it. It includes: The main counter, 2 corner shelf unit counters (a left and a right, no slots sorry, feel free to add your own), a double wide counter for sinks, a soffit for above windows etc to create a seamless look, 2 upper cabinets (long and short), 2 upper corner shelf cabinets (left and right, sorry the lower shelves don’t have slots either – couldn’t do them with TSRW at the time), a small kitchen window border curtain, and a range hood wall light. Each counter comes with 3 recolourable channels – the counter top, the main bit, and the handles. I have found this kitchen VERY versatile, very cute and absolutely mid century cool. This kitchen is provided as is, and I have no intention at this stage to work on it anymore (I hate making kitchens now, lol). Enjoy :)

Hello everyone :)
This set is a danish inspired living set. It comes with: a low line armchair and loveseat (of course modelled off a real life yummy sofa), a coffee table, a sweet little puffin deco thingy (originally designed by Kay Bojesen in 1954), a tripod floor lamp, a hanging pendant lamp, and 3 wall panels which are actually paintings. One looks like a desk but I’m sorry to say it is not functional. Still, it looks good! The bookshelves aren’t functional either :) So really the wall panels are just pure eye candy. This doesn’t bother me, and lol, I don’t wanna hear it if it bothers you! It is what it is :).

I hope you guys enjoy the mid century goodness! I of course have enjoyed making it, immensely.

Just a quick small set for you, a conversion of my Simple desk from Sims 2, and a small chair to go with it. I’ve also included a wall sconce to match the floor lamp released in my Paola set. Great for placement in nooks and crannies, the Awesims Simple desk is just what it says on the box – simple. No bells and whistles, just a flat surface to do whatever the hell you gotta do on it. There are 7 additional textures for the top of the desk, a selection from the original desk from Sims 2. Not much else to say really! Thanks everyone for all your kind comments, ideas and everything else, I appreciate you all!
Just as a note, I’m gonna have to cut back on pictures from now on, because my bandwidth has gone over its newly increased allocation again this month and I don’t know if my host can accomodate the traffic. So my apologies for that :)
