WURK Cabinetry - 13 Modular items for TS4

I get inspired by different things, whether that is things i see when out and about, Pinterest, or in-game items. This time I was looking through the catalogue and saw the work bench from Restoration workshop kit and thought "that would be great if it was modular." Modular items tend to be better made from scratch, so instead of an edit I decided to make a kitchen/workshop cabinet based on the design, and this is the result. Although envisioned predominantly for workshops/man-caves/garage storage, i think this would work in an industrial build as well, a style we don't really have much of.

would you consider making a matching gate for the snowy escape fences? love your stuff!! <3

I have honestly never made a gate before 😖😅

These sorts of things really depend on 2 factors:

how much usable texture there is; this determines if it can be turned into something else (O has room on the texture to add new things while keeping it close to matching)

if not enough texture can it be replicated easily so it's close to matching; this is the tough one and often i can't easily replicate a texture so it's reasonably close to the original

So in this case, I honestly couldn't say as I have never worked on a fence or gate before. If I go back to Snowy Escape for more addons, I will keep it in mind though

I am absolutely in love with all of your expansions of the build buy that is in the game so we have all the pieces. Are you were planning on doing that for Royalty? And if so, could I request that all the swatches have both the teal blue color AND the hunter green? All the items in game have one or the other! I have had a Royal Family save since 2020 and have so many different color-themed families. I was shocked that there was no royal purple or royal blue in the swatches too!!!!

I honestly haven't taken a good look at the items yet. But generally, recolours fall out of the scope of my addons (unless it really annoys me). I do plan on looking at the items soon and play around with them, so I will keep it in mind, but no promises

Adventure Awaits Buildmode Expanded

It feels strange that the last post here was back in October. Life sure has a way of, you know, getting in the way. But I can't think of a better way to start off with an addon that has royally kicked my ass because I couldn't say no to adding to every item. That is Adventure Await. I really love the concept of the items, but personally I think there were too may styles. My motto is if you need to be able to build a home with just one of the styles, and you could only do that with one of them. Away, that should be fixed now.

ayyy me again, small idea but if you revisit businesses and hobbies, the dormer and chimney that are matched to the roof texture could use more colors, maybe in the eco lifestyle metal texture colors? fully biased in suggesting this, i adore a copper roof and eco lifestyle has 3 great coppery colorways for different stages of patination

I tend to stay away from projects that are just recolours, but if it fits into a build addon, i will keep it in mind. I always like when we more more usability

Happy holidays!! I am obsessed with your content, especially the Hinterlands collection! I use it in, quite literally, all my builds. I know you’ve been asked about making a bathroom for it before, but here’s another ask begging for one 🥹🙏 I’ll find you inspiration for it myself if I must!! It’s just so perfect 🫶

I really do need to make more bathrooms. I will definitely keep it in mind

Is the Hinterlands bedding based on any real bedding? I LOVE the purple floral swatch and want it in real like so bad haha

The base pattern was purchased for the project but all the colours were custom, so i am afraid not 😅

Hey, do you have any plans to adapt the sliding doors from the HBD collection - for example the large ones (4 panels - only available in a medium wall version) to the "cha-cha" sliding door style for any height of a specific wall (for the entire wall)?

I really should look at those basegame items that got patched in and see if they can be expanded. I really haven't had a decent look at the sliding doors at least. I really do love the modularity of the windows though. So no current plans, but it's possible if i see room to expand and get the time

Any chance you can make clean versions of the Everlasting Windows/Doors?

Probably not, they would need completely new textures which is not something I can do after the fact (at least not easily).

This might be pretty out there, but would you ever consider creating some addons based on the door(s) that came with Laundry Day? I adore that one but it doesn't really go with anything. :( And the build set you made from the Nifty Knitting door is absolutely epic. ❤️

I have thrown around the idea of turning the bay window into a set, but honestly, i can't even remember what the door looks like 😅

Hey, I'm sorry, this is probably the dumbest question you've gotten. I downloaded Lofte Living because I really wanted to use the brick arch, but when I try to use any brick on the wall in game to match, your arch is so much lighter that it doesn't match at all. I don't know if I'm just straight up doing something wrong or what. Maybe because I tried to place it outside? I haven't built much in TS4 so maybe that's a thing that can happen.

Unfortunately, this is a shader issue which I don't have control over. I tend to get around issues like this (and designed the set in a way to do this) is by using the solid pieces, and between floors use a visual break like a frieze. It's just a game quirk with all the different shaders so if we ever get a new sims, I hope all the shaders are streamlined because it kills me too 😭

Hi, I was wondering if there's any chance you might make an enchanted by nature addon at some point? It's a really cool pack, but pretty much nothing in game game goes with it style wise.

At the moment, probably not since i am working on an Adventure Awaits buildmode addon, but i do believe @illogicalsims has made one. It is still on my to-do list tho

Hi, I’ve been following you for many years now and I really appreciate your work. It’s a real asset to my game and I’m sure for many others.

I’m starting to get into the recolor world and I was wondering if you might be able to point me in a direction for some tutorials on how to recolor build items to match existing build items? For example, I’d love to add more swatches to the new Adventure Awaits windows so that all of the swatches match across the build items. Same for cross pack, like adding wood colors to Life and Death to match Cottage Living swatches. I can’t seem to figure out how to get the shades to match in photoshop. There are so many tutorials for clothing and hair but I feel like we’re severely lacking when it comes to maxis match build and buy. Anyways, I’m sure you’re busy so feel free to disregard, but I figured if anyone truly knew how to do it, it would be you. Thank you!

Most of the texturing tutorials you see should be universal. You make a greyscale texture (highlights brighter, lowlights darker, and average is 50% black) and either apply a gradient map or solid colour to it. Gradient maps tend to work better but are harder for novices to use, while solid colours will get you mostly to where you want.

Once you master how to take an in-game texture and adjust it to be greyscale then apply a colour to it, you should get more consistent results. However, since this is not a skill limited to the sims community, I would start looking outside it for tutorials. Sims tutorials can be quite niche in a way but a lot of the basic skills are universal, not only to creating assets for gaming, but just general use of photoshop. So although I can't point you in the right direction (I do always recommend looking at the Sims 4 Studio forums for tutorials) you are going to have better luck widening your search to outside the sims community.

I recently got into your cc and holy cow is it amazing. I'm wondering if there is any way you could modify the Seasons pack so they all have the same wood swatches? There's one light swatch that is only available for I think two windows and two doors and I wish it was available for all of them!

Thanks! Colour overhauls are not really in my wheelhouse though, or something I like doing because it's hard to match the colours and textures Maxis makes. So not really something I am interested in doing as it would involve a lot of bashing my head against a wall out of frustration 😅

You can disregard if asked, but have you thought about making a single bed from the enchanted by nature pack? I can't believe they didn't even bother making one!

I have no decided on a addon for Enchanted By Nature yet, but if I did i will look into it. However, i think @illogicalsims has made an addon, and if I recall, it included a single bed
