22 years later, give your Sims 2 kitchens a pantry.
As I hinted at with my club counter mapping fix, I've been invested in a long-term-want-to-do-this-one-day project the last week or so. Pantries. ALL the pantries.
Dusting off my very meagre and rusty Blender skills, I have made some things for you all.
All pics and details below.
The value kitchen gets a pantry at 2 heights - lower (for more generic cupboard vibes) and ceiling height.
Quaint kitchen looking cute. This one is ceiling height
One of my favourites, the Epikouros set, also ceiling height
The "blue ribbon" seasons country kitchen gets a non-ceiling height pantry cos I wanted the pretties on top.
Chiclettina Fjord, at ceiling height (get yourself a non-blue glass default though, it looks better I promise)
The University Industrial Steelate kitchen also gets 2 height variations because I could see these cupboards being useful in a variety of different settings and thought options might be nice (medical cabinets maybe?)
Forbidden fruit, just ceiling height
The club kitchen, also just ceiling height, and make sure you grab my counter mapping fix cos it makes these counters look SO much nicer
The "Fat City" kitchen, ceiling height only. This is actually a really nice kitchen set with some nice recolours.
Castanoga, only ceiling height. This one was the bane of my existence and definitely the hardest one to get right.
Mission, which I wasn't gonna do cos I NEVER use this kitchen, but I thought others might like it. That pantry is at ceiling height.
Surfaco, probably the most underrated Maxis kitchen IMO. Ceiling height only here.
Neo Quartzo which again... I was gonna skip, but I thought, maybe some people use this kitchen sometimes? idk lol, not me... Ceiling height only.
Romantic wood 😍 I love this one. Not quite ceiling height, again for the pretty loopdey bit on top.
And Chez Moi, also a really tricky one to get right. Ceiling height.
These counters did not get a matching pantry:
Sorry 🙈🙈 If you REALLY DESPERATELY need one... yeah, nah, idk. Maybe I'll do a tiki one, but the others, nope. lol.
All pantries are located in surfaces / misc and cost the same $$ as their matched counter. They are all decorative only. I would love if someone smarter and more capable than me could turn them into functional "snack cupboards" but I lack the know how. So if you're inspired to do it, please be my guest!!
Some of the pantry meshes still have some small issues with normals (MY NEMESIS!!) but I want to give a huge shoutout and thank you to @gummilutt and @morepopcorn for fixing some of them for me, and Poppy particularly for helping me understand how to actually deal with normals in Blender. I really tried and I did improve the meshes a lot as I went.
All pantries were cloned from CTNutmegger's set of upper cabinets, so credits to them. These were occasionally a little "interesting" to work with, but again, I tried my best. And if you need some upper cabinets, you can download those and they should match fairly well. Otherwise, I recommend @nixedsims's Counter Completers and Mutske's kitchen addons too.
Oh, and it should go without saying that these are all repo'd to the Maxis counters so will pick up any recolours you've got 🤗
With that said, if you'd like them, here's the link!
