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 :)

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.

Before I get to the set, I want to point out what I think is a “must download”. The wood replacements by JaneSamborski at MTS, is what I recommend anyone who wants their wood furniture to actually look good, grab immediately if you haven’t already! I saw a pic of some of my furniture with default EA textures on it and I was a little freaked out, because my object didn’t look as good as it possibly could (I know I sound like a princess, but well, I get used to seeing the wood replacements as normal, and its weird to see the EA originals – which are ugly!). So if you haven’t already, I really recommend getting the wood default replacements from JaneSamborski at MTS.

I came across a picture of this sideboard while browsing Mid Century stuff, and it REALLY caught my eye. It is the “Paola” Sideboard designed by Oswald Vermaercke in 1959. Of course I immediately wanted one, but then I saw the pricetag. This is a $4000 sideboard folks, LOL. So once again, I live vicariously through my Sims. Once I’d made the sideboard, I threw together a few other pieces to complete a set for you, and I have made the a chair by Jens Risom, some decorative vases (the pattern is a Jonathan Adler one, not mid century but nice all the same!), a starburst mirror in large and VERY large, and to top it all off, a gorgeous Lightolier hanging floor lamp (I will also be releasing a pendant and sconce in this style soon). The sideboard is in the end table catalogue, and everything else in their appropriate sections (the ceramics are in misc deco).

Hey guys! I am updating today with 3 lovely lights for your Sims mid century homes! There is a 1960’s Rocket lamp for both the floor and the table, and a 1950’s french sconce for the wall. The rockets have 2 recolourable channels, and the sconce has 3. All lights are found in the appropriate catalogues. BTW, the table in the 2nd pic is from an upcoming set of mid century style tables, so stay tuned!
