My CC Journal #01——Nest Collection (Entryway PART)
Welcome to my new series — My CC Journal! ✨ This is where I’ll be sharing some behind-the-scenes moments from my CC creation process, along with little WIPs. I hope you’ll enjoy this series~
For this first post, I want to talk a bit about my upcoming collection Nest, which will be released in three days. The first part I’m working on is the entryway area. One of the biggest changes this time is that I completely remade my wood texture.
I’ve felt for a long time that many ready-made materials (including the ones I used before) don’t look truly wooden in the game. After going back and forth about it 😵💫, I finally decided to paint my own from scratch — and honestly, I really like how it turned out (at least I think so🤣). Being a detail-obsessed person definitely increases my workload sometimes, but creating something better and more polished always feels rewarding.
I also added a few new pieces to the set. As shown in the promo image, the entryway consists of three main areas: the shoe cabinet, the bench, and the mirror. The main furniture items are already finished, and I’ll be adding two or three small decorative items to complete the look.
Lastly, about my promo image style — as I mentioned on Patreon:
If you’ve followed me for a while, you may have noticed my promo image style changes often. That’s because I’ve been trying to create a template that fits all my furniture sets. Sadly it's hard for me 😭 Graphic design is not my strength, and promo images sometimes take me 2–3 days to finish — time I would rather spend making CC.
This time I took inspiration from EA’s official style. It’s cleaner, simpler, and more versatile. Please understand this “borrowing” — it helps me save time for CC creation. I’m not trying to imply or fake any collaboration with EA, so I wanted to make this clear.
Thank you so much for your support and love❤️
