simspiration - vol. 005

11/9/2023

FROM THE CURATORS DESK...

Oh how I am excited for all the potential that comes with the Sims 4 For Rent. The pack, offering so many new elements to our gameplay (see blog post to learn more) is coming in December and this edition of Simspiration is chock full of multi home ideas, future tenants, and even some layout designs to help you designing your next shared living space.

The collection will be as varied as your imagination may direct you Some traditional some fantasy and I can not wait to see what and who you create next.

Dear maggie...

I absolutely adore our Dear Maggies series, and this week we are inviting you all to share your questions for Maggie. We invite you to share with her the most bizarre stories that your Sims experience and ask for her seasoned advice.

Drop a comment below, email us t [email protected], or look for our Dear Maggie Post this weekend on any of our socials

Our Muses...

I do fear that I may be overwhelmed with the countless idea of a continuous stream of interesting and unique Sims all ripe for moving into your new multi family dwellings, and this week, I want to see ALL of these muses become Sims and I want them in all of my saves. I absolutely adore seeing you take these stunning photos and art work and transforming them into our tiny pixel people who bring joy to our games.

If you have created a Sim bases on one of our posts, please tag us when you share it in the gallery or on your socials so we can also add these beautiful Sims into our saves as well as showcase them

Build fodder

While I often enjoy dreaming up the stories of each home I feature in our Simspiration post, this week I thought it would be more suited to allow you to absorb the images without the interruption or guidance of my words and stories. In this way I hope to give you more imagery and allow your imaginations to soar with the imagery.
Please enjoy...

Inner spaces

I will be the first to admit, layouts of home are difficult, and matching the style and design of the outside of a space can be tricky. With the upcoming release of For Rent, I can say that building multi-family homes/apartments/etc is a daunting task, so this week I am hoping to inspire your inner architect b offering a variety of both stunning imagery along with functional designs for your spaces.

Simspiration - vol. 004

10/31/2023

From the curators desk...

This week the dappled light sneaks through the kaleidoscope of ever changing leaves dropping from their branches to pile in golden heaps on lawns, streets, and pathways.

Fall is here, and I am here for it.

The theme you'll see throughout vol. 004 is chock full of autumnal bliss, from cozy sweaters, to warm hearths.

We are also pleased to introduce you all to Inner Spaces, a place to find inspiration for the interiors of your Sims homes, apartments, vacation lots, and beyond.

Enjoy, create, play.

Dear Maggie...

Our Muses...

This week I feel the crisp fall air wrapping it's chilly embrace around me and while I find myself in layers, there is nothing quite like the joyful feeling you get when the sun pours it's golden warmth onto your chilled face.

Our muses this week bring that very feeling to the digital pages of vol. 004, and their cozy attire makes me even more excited for that cold nip in the air.

May our muses inspire your next Sim or even just changing up your current Sims outfit.

Build Fodder

The Cozy River Cottage

Nestled in a secluded clearing among towering trees, the cozy river cottage is a haven of peace and tranquility. Its weathered wooden walls and rustic charm blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape, creating a feeling of harmony and belonging.

Will your Sim find this place perfect for writing their next novel or perhaps settling down roots and running a small sustainable ranch, the story is yours to tell.

Baked Bliss

Blanketed in the dappled light of fall, this cozy cottage stands as a beacon of warmth and comfort in the autumnal landscape. Its rustic charm and weathered walls are perfectly complemented by the scent of fresh baked treats.

Will your Sims find their baking bliss here or perhaps they may just unwind and relax in the beautiful gardens.

The Autumnal Oasis

A meandering path of auburn leaves leads to the home's inviting porch, where a rocking chair awaits, beckoning you to sit and savor the moment. The air is infused with the enchanting aroma of cinnamon and sweetened dried leaves, creating a symphony of autumnal scents that will transport you to a realm of pure bliss.

A perfect get away for any Sim, or even a place to raise a family, what will your Sims make of this piece of heaven?

Sea Foam Town Home

Embrace coziness and comfort in this charming red brick town home. Set against the backdrop of falling leaves, the sea foam green accents on this residence echo the lush colors of the season. As you ascend the small stoop and open the wooden door, you're welcomed into a warm and inviting sanctuary where your Sims can create their own story. With its rich colors and urban charm, this home is the perfect place to celebrate the changing seasons in style.

Inner Spaces

The latest addition to our Simspiration spread. I hope the rooms are a satisfactory feast for you imaginations and that one or multiple of the scenes set below ignite the sparks of your creative process and invite you to dream up the perfect parlor, lounge, library, or simple cozy nook. shape.

Simspiration - vol. 003

10/24/2023

From the curators desk...

You have arrived at vol. 003 which I must admit, has been a weekly drop of joy in my day to day. Collecting faces, homes, and feeling out their stories has warmed my creative soul, and I only hope it also does this for you too.

This week I felt a pull to explore older homes, and older sims. Each tell a story, each exposed to time and each with their own tale which has still yet to come. I hope you find the face of your next elder Sim, or perhaps even feel inspired to make these muses young in game and play out their life story or perhaps build the most perfect home for one or all of them,

The potential for it all is in your hands, and imaginations.

Dear Maggie...

Our muses...

This week, our muses are here to help inspire you to create stunning, creative and interesting elderly sims.

Each line on their face, tells a story, history to be shared and passed down to any willing or interestd to learn of the amazing life they had, and the continued joy they get from each day.

I hope one of these many muses helps you find joy in our elderly life state in game. If so, be sure to tag us and tell us about your sims creation, their back story, and what they do now.

Build Fodder

Cloves and Cinnamon

This enchanting image of a red brick building with green and yellow trim evokes the feeling of a cozy gingerbread house. The warm colors and intricate details create a sense of whimsy and wonder, as if the building is straight out of a fairy tale.

This home may just be the perfect place for your Sim to relax and indulge your newly found love of baking, or perhaps it is simply a cozy abode with a large library to get lost in, only you and your sims can decide that.

The Tall Shoppe

This stunning image of a black and white building with a vibrant floral facade is a feast for the eyes. The bold contrast between the dark exterior and the colorful flowers creates a sense of dynamism and energy.

Who lives here, do they run a small flower shoppe below, and above host home to 4 cats. Perhaps they grow and sell catnip and herbs in the store below, or even maybe a potion or two? The story is their for you to create and add to, and we can not wait to see what you create.

Aged Bricks

This towering red brick building stands tall and proud, its many windows reflecting the sky above. It is a sentinel of the city, a witness to its history and its growth.
Who has lived here before, who lives here now, and do any of the former residents still haunt this home, and if they do, are they helpful ghosts, or horrible haunts?

Hidden Comfort

Nestled among the towering trees, this enchanting brick house is a hidden sanctuary. The warm glow of the windows invites you in, promising a place of comfort and solace.
As you step through the door, you are greeted by the gentle scent of wood and flowers. The living room is cozy and inviting, with a fireplace crackling in the corner. The kitchen is filled with the aroma of freshly baked bread and coffee.

The Old Carriage House

Tucked on the end of the line of buildings, apartments, and shops sits this unique carriage house.

Once a place for tack, saddles, and horses, now the space has been transformed into something much more.

Will it be a warm and welcoming home? A place of excitement and adventure? Piles upon piles of books? The possibilities are endless.

What will you make of this lovely lofted home, and what life will you make for the Sims hat occupy this old home?

Simspiration - vol. 002

10/11/2023

From the curators desk...

We're excited to share the second volume of our weekly collection of muses, build fodder, stories, and more! This week, we're feeling inspired by the cottage core aesthetic, which celebrates the simple beauty of nature and everyday life.
Our muses are inspired by the complexities of people photographed in black and white. The dappled light and various shades of gray accentuate each unique feature, leaving your imagination wanting for more.
We hope you enjoy this week's selection! Be sure to keep an eye out for our "Ask Maggie" posts across all of our socials. We would love to hear from your Sims and answer any questions they have.

Dear Maggie...

When you and your sims just need someone to help, there is always Dear Maggie...

Our Muses...

In our first volume of Simspiration, we introduced you to our Muses. Each week, we will bring you a new set of Muses to inspire your Sim creations. This week, we are captivated by the play of light and dark on our Muses' faces. The lack of color in black and white photography forces the viewer to focus on the details, which can be easily missed in bright and vibrant photos.
We hope you find inspiration and joy in this week's stunning Muses. May they help you to create new and unique Sims that tell your own stories.

Build Fodder

Sand Castle

This gothic house on the beach stands alone, a solitary sentinel against the storm-tossed sky. Its dark silhouette is etched against the horizon, its creaking timbers and weathered shingles whispering tales of a bygone era.

Who once lived here? Who now lives here?
You tell us, or even better, show us.

Thatched Paradise

The thatched cottage nestled in the valley is a picture of coziness. Its thick worn roof absorbs the warmth of the sunlight, and its whitewashed walls invite you in. The wooden fence that surrounds the cottage is adorned with climbing roses, and the garden is filled with colorful flowers and a wide variety of magical looking herbs.

Will your Sim test their luck at brewing their own potions here or perhaps it is the perfect little cottage for starting a family?

Pine Forest Retreat

In the heart of a lush, emerald forest, there stands a charming cottage, its thatched roof nestled among towering pines. A winding path leads to the door, inviting you to step inside and discover a cozy haven, where the gentle rustle of leaves and the songs of birds are your only companions.
Imagine your Sims waking up to the dappled sun streaming through the windows, casting warm rays on the rustic wood walls and furniture. The air is fresh and crisp, scented with pine needles and wildflowers.

Will your Sim stay here forever, or is this just the perfect retreat they needed to recharge and prepare for their daily grind?

Build Fodder

The House in the woods

Deep in the heart of the forest, there stands a house. A gothic house, with dark, pointed towers and spires. Its windows are narrow and arched, like the eyes of a sleeping giant. Its door is heavy and made of wood, and it is always locked.

Who dwells here, and why do we never see them leave?

Iron, Glass, and musical notes

The row of tall buildings with balconies is a symphony of glass and steel. The balconies are like musical notes, each one unique and yet part of a larger whole. The sun dances on the balconies, creating a kaleidoscope of colors.

The people who live here covet the arts both musical and the macabre, what will their curiosities and skills bring to the world you create?

The house on the hill

The haunted house on the hill stands tall and proud, its creaking timbers and rattling windows a testament to its age and mystery. The trees around it seem to whisper secrets, and the wind carries a hint of chill, even on the warmest summer day.

Will the ghosts that inhabit this home cause terror, or bring the unsuspecting residents a bit of interest to their typically dull lives?
