It’s the little things

I love the ability to raise and lower objects using CTRL + 9 or 0 in The Sims 4. It’s a very cool little addition to using MOO. I used it on the shelf of plants in this picture because they couldn’t all be placed properly: As soon as I used the higher wall heights in building I thought how cool it would be to add stuff on top of the cabinets. In my kitchen in RL my kitchen cabinets have wicker baskets stored on top of them and they look so lovely. I started adding objects using CTRL + 9 but when you zoom in and out some objects look like they’re floating in mid air which just annoyed me. I tried placing shelves just below the top of the cabinet but couldn’t get them to place properly either. And then today I saw a thread in the TS4 Build/Buy Custom Content forum showing a mod which could add placeable slots to the top of cabinets – Yay!

I don’t use any CC in my game and only have one mod, Shimrod101’s No Blur in the Distance one for getting rid of EA’s stupid blurry backgrounds. I like my clean and hassle free game. But I couldn’t resist this cabinet one and got straight to work adding trains, cars and boats to the top of my cabinets: I think they look great.

I’ve loved building this so much. It is classified as a Retail Lot as it has a Parisian style bakery and a Tuscan inspired farmhouse built on the same 20×30 lot:

The gardens are lavishly planted:

And there’s an established vegetable and fruit garden to supply your bakery:

With a lovely peaceful seating area:

The upstairs terrace has beautiful views over the gardens and bakery:

The bakery has great curb appeal and will attract a lot of customers:

Now for the interiors. The house has two bedrooms, one double and one twin. An open plan kitchen and sitting room, two and a half bathrooms, a study and a workshop in the basement:

The bakery is all ready to stock and open:

As always I’ve fully play tested it and there is absolutely no CC anywhere in the build (I have none in my game). Don’t forget to select the lot you want to place it on and enter build/buy mode BEFORE you place it as I’ve used MOO and enlarged some objects. If you place it in town mode these items will be lost. The only problem with a home business at the moment is your customers wandering around your residential area. As soon as EA introduce lockable doors you won’t have this problem but for now, you could just place an object in front of the gated entrance to the house using MOO. Don’t forget to remove it after you’ve closed up for the day!
