Simspiration - vol. 002

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.

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?
