Inspired (ok, it was planned!!) by the lack of small objects to put on my new all shelf- 8 Maxis objects miniaturized. Only 6 will fit on the shelves, the other 2 are floor objects made table-sized. 
What got shrunk? The Wishing Jug, Daruma (wishing doll), Tray 'O Orbs, Beckoning Cat, Mystery Presents, the Teddy Bear, a Gazing Ball and the globe. The Gazing Ball and the globe are table-sized. The rest will fit on the shelves- the cat and the teddy bear are a bit taller and need to be placed on the top shelf. They've all had their polycount reduced to a more reasonable amount (still a bit high though) and the cost shrank, too. (The poly reduction didn't affect too much- the globe isn't as round, but I think it still looks alright!)
All but one of the objects (it's either the Daruma or the Wishing Jug) have proper shadows- so need to worry about that. The one that doesn't- has no shadow at all. That didn't get fixed and since the shadows are pretty small, I'm going to leave it as is.

Here's our latest:
I have to a confession to make, I just love the Sims3 CAST Tool. It seems the possibilities to mix and match are endless. So this time I went for a brownish / greenish and yellowish color palet. Jenny's House is the result, a spacious, fully landscaped house. Your Simmies will want to move straight in!
As always we hope you enjoy,

Have a GREAT Sunday!!

3 new meshes: wall shelf, bookcase and an over-the-toilet shelf. This set is meant to go with the dining set posted @ Mod The Sims, but you don't have to have it for this set to work. None of the stained glass textures were used in these- just the metal and wood textures.
The wall shelf is a clone of the Spherical Splendor painting and is shiftable if you have Apartment Life.
The bookcase is a clone of the Base Game Emptied Bookcase by joninmobile @ Mod The Sims..which was based on a bookcase by Leesester @ Mod The Sims.
The over-the-toilet shelf is a clone of Izzy's 3-Slot Spacesaver @ Sims Cave.

Just Another Sims Site - Sim3 Update
Good morning.
I hope everybody is doing fine today and that you will have a great weekend. Even though I have had a busy week, I luckily have found some time to build. I guess you can say building is my idea of therapy ;-)
"I wanna build me a house, on higher ground." - Bruce Springsteen / Leah
Today I bring you this Sims3 cottage, which will most likely fit a single sim, or maybe even a young couple. It was built by a stream, with an overlooking deck, perfectly suited for morning breakfasts and evening glasses of wine.

The Sims franchise of computer games is now 10 years old, but it’s still sitting at the top of the charts. The latest installment, The Sims 3, has been named the top-selling PC game of 2009 by the NPD Group, Chart-track UK and GfK. (The Sims titles have held number-one spots for six years out of the past decade.)
The success that the game has had in engaging users with online content is the mos

Sugah from Sugah's place pm'd me last night after I received the suspicious email I am sure all of you who are members on her site received as well.

Here's our latest little upload:
we are opting to recreate the Fairview sims3 lot for the sims2..and of course need to have similar siding siding for the lot. Well since there is no CAST tool for the sims2...which is unfortunate btw...we decided to made it from scratch. We hope you like this small set, and maybe you will at some point include it in your lots, who knows. What ever you do with it, just remember, siding like this needs a fresh lick of paint every 5 years or so....

Simple Kitchen Curtain Completer Set
Nengi65 made the Simple Kitchen Curtain, which is a lovely, simple curtain that I've used over and over again. Here is what I call a "completer set". There are 3 new meshes based on Nengi's original curtain: a valance, a lower single curtain and a cafe-style curtain. There are also 22 recolors (the base texture is pretty plain) of the curtain and 4 recolors of the rod.
