Summer at the Quarry 🏖️

I have for you today a sand default, pond bottom default, and a pond overlay. I made these for myself and figured I'd share. I wanted a beach sand that more closely matched the vibe of Michigan and Ohio beaches with all the shells and rocks. :-) I made the pond bottom rocky since I'm making a swim-able quarry in Haddock Bay, aaand needed an overlay to tie everything together. Happy summerrrr! 🐚✨

This is a default for the 'hood / lot sand.

I used two of @foxtronaute's terrain paints together.

You can use it with any default 'hood terrain you have, just remove the sand package that comes with your default first.

I've also included a terrain paint to match!

I used @criquette-was-here's guide for removing 'hood sand in my 'hoods, but keep in mind that the sand will still be present if you're in lot view by the water.

I defaulted on @simsantoinc's default.

I used a small stones terrain paint from @foxtronaute's terrain paints.

the pond overlay is jon119's mesh and @pforestsims pond tint. All I did was lower the tint's opacity a little bit and slap it on the mesh because it was bigger. I needed the overlay to cover a larger area for my quarry! :-)

There are two meshes, a small and a large, and you can find them both in plumbing > misc.

I thought that I uploaded the right files, but turns out I got them mixed around! If you downloaded before 06/02/2026, please re-download. :-)

Black Mold: Butterfly Crawler Recolors

I bring you... mold! I haven't seen anything like this around, so I whipped these up in PS. I would say have fun but... use responsibly? 🤨

These are recolors for the "Butterfly Crawer Wall Deco" which can be found in decor > wall hangings.

There's two versions. They both have five parts (center, left, right, top, bottom), and also thin versions for tight squeezes. You can pick and choose which of these recolors you want!

These work with any add-ons you might have. I use @cityof2morrow's add-ons.

Privacy Fence in Countryside Cabin Colors

Waaaah! Haiyooo everyone! I'm so happy to be back! :3 I really liked this fence when I saw it in a post of @polarmoon's, and he tracked it down (thank you again 💛). It turns out it was originally uploaded by @tony-veis! So, a big thank you to both of you! Now you can all enjoy this fence in @i07jeuu's countryside cabin colors. ✨

You can't have both this version and @tony-veis' since I defaulted my tan color on the original.

These fences are 'hood deco and you can find them in landmarks (that's where I put my fences at least)!

There are nine colors and three different pieces: a post, short fence, and long fence for each color.

I'm officially signed up for my fall classes! I met with my advisor and then took a tour of the campus. The art building has a pretty stained glass chandelier. It felt strange being on campus and seeing students because I'm a student now too? Huh? :-)

4t2 Walls and Floors 🪴

I converted almost all of @kirsicca's walls and floors! Yippee! ✨

There's 16 floors and 31 walls.

I made smaller versions of some floors ("S" in previews).

I separated some walls into two to preserve their pattern ("L" and "R" in previews).

There's two collections, one for walls and one for floors, so you can find everything easily! :-)

Individual numbered swatches are included in their respective folders.
