🕑 Added 2025-07-19 16:11:10 +0000 UTCHere is the first item for a set of witchy todder and kids' items, a request set from a lovely patron (with specific request for bed recolors!) I recolored this base game toddler bed, with 8 bedding swatches & 4 bed frame swatches, for a total of 32 swatches. I will be recoloring a child bed also. I hope everyone is having a nice weekend 💗
Update (later):
Added 3 more bedding swatches to each frame color, 44 swatches total. I'm about to get started on the child beds now.
Update (Saturday after midnight):
Added a children's version of this bed frame. I took the toddler bed mesh and edited it to be a single bed, and it works like normal. Added all of the same swatches. Since the mesh was edited, I had to go back and edit all of the swatches to get rid of painted-on shadows that were showing on the larger bed. It looks good now!
Update (Sunday afternoon):
Added the first of some wall art items, this one is a cute little witch in a square frame. I've added a ton of swatches for the look of the witch and the frame colors.
Update (Sunday early evening):
Added a second square wall art with various images, and the same 4 frame colors as art 1.
Update (late Sunday night):
Added a 3rd wall art item, a rectangular frame with botanicals in the image. There are 12 images and 4 frame colors, 48 total swatches. I'm quite loving the fuchsia flower swatches!
Update (Monday late):
I've been working on this item for the past while, a box of crayons. I will also be adding a coloring book.
Update (Tuesday morning):
I've been working on these little items all night, here is the coloring book. I've made 2 versions, both are open, one face up and one face down. The cover has 1 swatch. The face up version showing the pages has 14 swatches, 7 are just the pictures, the other 7 are the same pictures but with some coloring on them.
Update (Tuesday early evening):
I've been working on a set of wallpapers (pictures and gif above, apologies for the way the window I've been using looks, the item must be broken), and collecting resources together for an item that is a bit ambitious, but I really want to try to make it. I will post a pic of the inspo and a work-in-progress once I see if this isn't something that would take absolutely forever (process will be similar to making the butterfly breeding project in the School set, but more complicated).
Update (Tuesday evening):
Added a functional toy witch doll.
Update (Tuesday night):
Added a new version of the dresser that was next to the bed, I cleaned up the chipped paint, added moons for the drawer handles, and extra swatches.
Update (late Tuesday night 2 AM):
Added a little wall bookshelf, with 3 decor books (in Simlish!) on it. These are the swatches I have so far, I will be adding more sets of the same shelf swatch colors with different books.
Update (Tuesday night/Wed. morning 3 AM):
Added 2 rugs: a round one and a rectangle one. hey have the same pattern swatches as the bedspreads. (I think) I am going to take a break from our project for tonight because it's quite late, but I have more things to make tomorrow! I like the way it's coming together.
Update (Wed. early afternoon):
I got 5 hours of sleep last night, woke up and made coffee and got back to working on things. I've added a kid's size reading chair in the swatches that match the bedspreads and the rugs. Added a decor book with all 9 of the books that are on the shelf.
I also want to reiterate for new patrons that these types of sets (ones that are not just general conversions which most of my sets are as of now, from Animal Crossing) take me a bit longer to make. Especially items that are "franken-meshed" like a lot of the things in the Band Merch Set. It involves taking parts from both the meshes of various items, and the image textures and putting them together like a puzzle (and the bump/spec if applicable, otherwise new ones are made). I just want people to know the difference between the types of processes so there's no confusion about the WIP updates!
Update (Wed. night):
I've been working on the planned item that I previously described as "ambitious", an item inspired by the Little Tikes Magic Workshop IRL toy. Here are a couple pics above of the work-in-progress. I'm currently making the new image textures that contain all of the pieces. I'm having a bit of a hard time tonight and keep having to come back for a few minutes and go back to the couch, I have a terrible stomach ache. I'm excited about this little item, though! I will be giving it steam and non steam versions.
Update (late Wed. night/early Thurs. morning 2:45 AM):
Still working on the play table decor object. Above is a preview in Sims 4 Studio, with the image textures added to the package file. You can see it has the cauldron & shelves, the beaker, a mushroom, some seashells, a frog, and a grimoire on an iron holder. I was planning on recoloring the book, but I can include the swatch shown above because it looks pretty and it's fitting. I'm still adding things to the table, and trying to find something to use for the table legs, sides. I hope everyone likes how it's coming along! And that you're all having a nice week.
Update (4 AM):
Just another update pic added of the play table, you can see many more parts were added. I still need to add some branches for the attachments for the shelves, and a holder for the beaker (you can barely see it in the Sims 4 Studio screenshot because it's glass, but it's there on the left side). I'm getting close to finishing this item, then I can add some swatch variations.
Update (Thursday 7 AM):
Well, I have been working on this item all night 🫠Here is a preview above in game. There are 2 versions, one with steam from the cauldron & one without steam. The lower left shelf has 1 small deco slot, I am going to try to make a little toy candle that can go there. I need to rest a little bit now, but I am hoping to finish this set today (Thursday).
Update (Thursday early evening):
Added a little toy candle that can go in the slot on the lower left shelf of the toyset. It gives off a soft glow.
Update (continued):
Added a little crystal potion bottle, with lots of swatches. We have 20 items in our set, I'm going to start getting in game images together for post previews! I hope everyone is having a nice day 💗
