I’m back with some more behind-the-scenes content!
I know I’ve been suspiciously quiet these past few weeks, but hear me out, I had a very good reason and I think you’re going to like it 👀
Over the last few weeks, I’ve been working on my next set and this time we’re taking a little break from the Nancy Collection to kick off summer with a bang!
What makes this project even more exciting is that I’m collaborating with a creator I’ve admired for years. Honestly, it still feels a little surreal and I want to thank all of you for your support because none of this would have been possible without you. ❤️
That being said... I’m going to keep the identity of my partner-in-crime a secret for just a little while longer. Can you guess who it is? 👀 We haven’t exactly been subtle and if you pay close attention, you might spot a few WIPs that look suspiciously familiar. 😏
Now, let’s get down to business!
For this summer set, we’re heading to Greece, more specifically, Mykonos and Santorini! Think crystal-blue waters, whitewashed stone, sun-soaked terraces and endless shades of blue.
For some reason, whenever I think of Greece, I think of two things: relaxation and unforgettable parties. So naturally, we decided to combine both.
One of the first pieces I tackled was the DJ booth. The in-game version desperately needed a makeover and after spending way too many hours in Blender and the warehouse, I finally figured out a way to make it fully modular and customizable.
The booth is divided into three parts: the controller, the stand and the façade. The stand and façade come in both stone and wood finishes, allowing you to mix and match them however you like. But the real star of the show is the controller.
Drum roll, please... 🥁
You can place it almost anywhere!
Put it on the custom stand, on counters or even on high tables. As long as you create an L-shaped setup, it remains fully functional and your DJ will keep the party going all night long. I’m also ridiculously proud of the metal finishes on this set, so please appreciate the countless hours I spent drawing all those details by hand. 😂
To complete the DJ area, I created a large backdrop featuring a glowing circular centerpiece that stays on day and night. It can be paired with matching stereos on either side to create the ultimate audio setup.
The backdrop is surprisingly versatile, too: it can even be used behind beds as a custom headboard. (You may or may not see that in an upcoming build... 👀)
Finally, I created a collection of matching counters inspired by the same organic shapes found throughout the set, along with two sinks, one of which is a slimmer design perfect for bar areas, just like you’d find in real-life venues. (this is a big hint hihi 😉)
And trust me... this is only the beginning!
There are still plenty of exciting pieces left to reveal, so keep an eye out for future WIPs and, of course, the official release of the set!

Hi friends!
Today, I’m thrilled to present what I consider my masterpiece: Villa Maria, a stunning Italian villa nestled in the beautiful world of Tartosa. The villa stands out for its 18th-century architecture and the vast, picturesque land that surrounds it.
On the property, you’ll find a spacious greenhouse that has been transformed into a luxurious wedding venue. Bathed in natural light and adorned with white flowers, it offers a breathtaking setting where your Sims can say “I do.”
Inside the villa, there are seven elegant guest rooms, including two presidential suites. The amenities are just as impressive: a full restaurant, swimming pool and relaxing massage area are all included. Near the greenhouse, you’ll also find two special rooms designed as bride and groom glam suites, perfect for those final touches before the ceremony.
Please, get your invitations ready, this is a wedding you will not forget! ♡

Hi friends! Today I’m so excited to share this super fun build with you! This time, your Sims can attend public or private classes at the most esteemed Institute of Architecture & Design. With the B&H pack, or simply your own imagination, Sims can follow different courses in one of the classrooms and level up their skills in specialized spaces for painting, handiness and photography, all while enjoying refined modern architecture. When they need a break, they can relax in the cafeteria or hang out with friends on the mezzanine levels along the grand staircase while getting their projects ready for finals! I hope you love the idea and have fun with it! ♡

This month’s set is finally here! We are heading back outdoors for Part 3 of the Nancy Collection, featuring a full set of windows, doors and decorative items to help you create the perfect coastal entrance 🥰
I originally thought this month was going to be a difficult one and that I wouldn’t be able to create as many items as I wanted… but somehow I ended up making almost 60 💀💀
I finally figured out how to create the cutout for windows, so you’ll find plenty of variations included in the set. One of my favorites is the angled version, which lets you create beautiful two-story rooms or even a cute greenhouse like the one shown in the pictures! For the larger windows, I also wanted to create matching door versions so everything could look seamless when building full glass walls and I’m really happy with how they turned out.
I had also been wanting to create my own curtains for a long time and I tried my best to give the mesh a soft fabric effect. I hope you like them! They come in multiple heights and I also included striped swatches that make them unique and perfect for this collection.
I also experimented with roof tiles because, honestly, I really dislike most of the ones we currently have in-game 😭 I genuinely think I’ll be using these in every build from now on! They strike a nice balance between modern and traditional and they come in several neutral tones alongside browns, blues and reds.
Finally, I really wanted to create a customizable porch area. To make it as flexible as possible, you’ll find separate roof and wood pieces that you can mix and match with different swatches. Alternatively, you can use the standalone versions featuring my original swatches.
I think that’s pretty much everything I have to say about this set, since I can’t possibly talk about every single item individually. I really hope you all have fun with it and let your creativity run wild! I can’t wait to see your builds! 🥰
The set contains a total of 58 items:
Wall Paneling
Metal Sconce
Curtains + Rod (all heights)
Flower Planters (1&2 tiles)
Shutters (6 variations)
Roof tiles
Porch standalone
