I forgot to share this here!
I'm working on a special set with my bestie @obigem, who has wanted West African representation in the game since its release. This is a small preview of what we have in store.
We decided to put together some looks that would've been perfect for My Wedding Stories and hope to get the set out at some point this month 💙

WIP - West 70th
1880s-1910s row of Upper West Side townhomes.
Been working on this row of late 19th c. brownstones on and off for the past year now, so needless to say when I heard about For Rent I was hype.
Download Here
This initially started because I was homesick for NYC during the pandemic. Specifically for the area of the upper west side my dorm was in while I was a student. I mainly blame this experience for my obsession with historical architecture - walking along central park west past the Dakota on the way to the subway, smoking on the stoops of the brownstones late at night, going to classes in the wedding cake that is the Ansonia - it was just everywhere, and so, so beautiful to look at.
Except a lot of it is faded glory - buildings subdivided, details chipped or covered in the thickest coats of grime or paint. So I wanted to replicate some of the old New York from around the turn of the century. The one I read about in the Luxe series and saw in the Samantha movie lol.
The basement or garden level of each four-story brownstone will be dedicated to the original purpose as the main workplace of the service staff. Unfortunately no room for the actual garden, so laundry lines and planters are on the roof. There are bedrooms and bathrooms for a cook and a housekeeper/butler, along with the staff dining and the kitchen. The butler's pantry is directly upstairs from the kitchen, and the top floor is almost exclusively made up of staff bedrooms and washrooms.
I usually do the service areas first because they're the most interesting, and there was nothing more interesting than a full edwardian brownstone kitchen. Lots of exposed piping, beadboard, subway tile, and shelves of clutter. Has a separate scullery, pantry, and stairs down to a basement storeroom to keep your best champs-le-sims nectar in. There's also a servant's bellboard in the kitchen and the staff dining room. It along with the "boiler" system are made with tool and CC-free.
The main entrance and parlor are doing their best to continue the gothic revival theme of the exterior. The library and dining room follow in the enfilade starting in the parlor. Since this first house is a corner lot, it has a bit more width and space than a true brownstone. The only actual brownstone I've been inside of is Lady Mendl's, so ofc I had to have an extensive tea setup. Def took a lot of inspo from these two pics alone for these rooms.
The main stairwell and picture gallery lead to three large bedrooms on the second floor, and then up to the children's room and nanny's bedroom on the third floor. I really like skylights. I learned the importance of decent lightwells in staving off depression one semester when my window looked out onto a brick wall
The master bedroom and the children's room above it both have their own private sitting rooms and bathrooms. All rooms have either fireplaces or cast iron radiators.
There's no way this is going to be finished by the time For Rent comes out, so im just going to release it in whatever state it's in when it does come out. The exteriors and interior room layout for all the townhomes will (hopefully) most likely be set by then anyway.
Now available for download!
Also the anniversary of Chez Cromwell is coming up! Ive been gone for the better part of the year due to starting a new job, but I havent been idle. C.Cromwell has been updated for infants and ceilings, which led to me redoing the exterior and almost every room, so a rerelease is coming v soon! Sneak peek below. Happy Thanksgiving!

HAIR Nº167 / WIP PHOTOS
I'm thrilled with this new hairstyle and wanted to share it with you all by posting a work-in-progress picture. You might have already seen it in my latest release: "Cappuccino Cropped Cardigan (V2)".
Let me tell you, this hairstyle has quickly become one of my all-time favorites! It's gorgeous, and I can't wait to hear your thoughts.
I've even created a second version for more options (it's featured in the post I mentioned earlier).
Now, let's discuss the technical details. Here's a brief rundown: it has about 14k polygons and is hat-compatible!
As usual, comes with 119 color swatches from the EA/Maxis and Candy color palettes.
I've done my best to keep the poly count low without compromising on its shape. Unfortunately, it was the lowest I could get.
When it comes to the release date, I'll drop it as soon as it's done, which is what I usually do.
However, I am confident that I will be able to release it sometime this month, and if everything goes as planned, it will be released next week!
A reminder that it's a wip, so a few things may change when finished.
All the photos are straight from CAS, without any HQ mods or edits (except for text).
For now, that's all; I see you guys soon with the finished hair.
Love you all, XOXO.

SAN MYSHUNO | FREE MARKET COMPLEX 01 - WIP
Here's another WIP! I just finished the Coffee Shop (and hopefully no one will scream at me for building another one...), and I'm starting to decorate the bookstore. However, I'm stuck with the two in-between stores and have no idea what to do with them...

This set looks like it's from one of those goverment-founded costume dramas about a one-sided representation of an over-romanticised historical figure.
