Hey, friends! I found black representation lacking in the Sims 4, so I built an entire legacy challenge based on it! This challenge is my love letter to my community. And it is meant for anyone and everyone to play, but I want to showcase how rich, beautiful, and powerful we are. It follows a story that has a beginning, middle, and end to it. Every generation is based on a different soul food dish.
I did make a YouTube video reading out the rules, you can find that here: https://youtu.be/jurfsgDStuU?si=qlT6yq_l7D95I-zl
Below is the link to the challenge! If you post your sims I would love if you'd tag me! Or used the hashtag #SoulFoodLegacyChallenge

Sims 4 Functional Alo Yoga Mat Recolor CC (7 Swatches)
Hi everyone! I’ve been obsessed with “that girl” content on Instagram and TikTok lately and kept seeing these Alo Yoga mats everywhere. Since I can’t justify the splurge in real life, I decided to recreate them as cc objects so I can live vicariously through my sim (cries in broke). This set includes a functional yoga mat recolor (it works like the regular one from the Spa Day pack) and a decorative standing yoga mat. You’ll need the Spa Day pack for both items to work since both meshes are from this pack.
I’m planning to recreate more popular items from social media soon, but for now, I hope you enjoy these! 💖🧘♀️
With great excitement, I'm here to show you the next part of the Sunwoven set! This one is all about gardening infused with a Mediterranean vibe.
I originally planned to make more plants, but then I had the idea to create a Vespa-like scooter that could function as a plant stand (since, sadly, it can’t work as a vehicle). It was definitely a bold move on my part, modeling it took quite a bit of time, and I wasn’t even sure it would turn out well. But I desperately wanted it in my game (and hopefully in yours too!), so I sacrificed a few plant-making hours for the great Vespa. And let me tell you, I have zero regrets. I love how it turned out, especially with the little plants sitting on it. I renamed it to Valia in simlish. :D And I will do more plants for every room I'm making so no worries.
I wanted to include something functional as well. Although I made two types of pots, the only other gardening-related object I found with gameplay function was the flower arranging table. I thought it would fit nicely with this set, so I created a tabletop version of it! You can place it on other tables too, making it more versatile. There’s just one small bug I noticed: when a Sim finishes the bouquet and places it in the middle of the setup, if you move it, you won’t be able to snap it back to that spot, unless you place the entire setup on the ground. This only becomes an issue if you want to add the sparkle effect (or whatever it’s called) afterward, since that interaction needs the table surface. But overall, it works perfectly for arranging flowers, so I hope you’ll still enjoy using it! This one item from the set requires the Seasons pack!
Other than uploading here the tray files, I uploaded (and will from now on my other past and future sets) it on my gallery as well, which is thevaliasims, you can find the rooms there as well.
For the next set I'm not sure which room comes next because finally we're gonna move inside the house! So I maybe upload a poll in the next couple of days for you to choose from!
Lastly thank you for being here and for reaching over 30 000 followers! Our community is growing so quickly I can't keep up with the numbers!

Finally I'm here with the next part of the Sunwoven Collection which would be the Entryway. I have to admit, creating this set wasn’t quite the experience I had hoped for. I really wanted to make doors for this part, and I’ve been working hard on them for quite a while. But since I didn’t have enough time to finish all the variations, I decided to include them in the next part instead. I never really know how much work I’ll have at my graphic design job, sometimes it’s manageable, but other times, like these past few weeks, it gets really hectic. That’s why I had less time to finish this set. So sorry for being a little absent, this was the reason. But to make up for it, I made three plants instead, something I wouldn’t have had time for if I’d finished the doors.
About the set itself, I think it kind of speaks for itself. It includes furniture and decor objects for the entryway. My initial idea with Sunwoven is to add plant to each set I'm releasing. That was my first inspiration and I'm happy I could do the 3 new plants. I want to get better at creating plants and honestly I love plants in real life, I love taking care of them and I feel proud every time a new leaf appears. It was so much fun to browse plant webshops to search for references, and let me tell you I have some new plants on my wishlist to buy and also to transform to CC.
As I mentioned earlier, I added two pieces to this set that I actually own in real life. I love seeing my own things in the game. :D They are the round bag and sandals and I think they add a cozy, lived-in feel to the space.
I hope you'll like these items because although I had less time to do them but I really loved bringing this entryway to life.
I think I’ll post the poll sometime in the next few days so you can help decide which room comes next. Thank you everyone for all the nice comments and feedback, it feels really good to know you like using my CC!

Author's Note:
This story has been a labor of love, writing is a hobby and so is gaming. Combining the two has helped me in ways I cannot put into words. I am thankful to you for enjoying this hobby with me. Writing urban fiction using the sims, for me, will forever be inspired by mochasims, rest in paradise, dear friend. Mocha created a community for Black storytellers where one didn't exist anywhere in the Sims Community and paved the way for other Black writers to follow with her epic tale of Men and Stilettos and of course Kasim's adventures!
I will be forever grateful for the safe space she created to tell real, Black ass stories. Much love sis.
