I have unfortunately spend the last two days resting with a terrible headache, & still feeling a bit weird today (but back to cc making!). Here are the first couple of items for the Elegant set (3rd in line from the poll): The dresser (functional), and the cloth that goes on top as a separate object. I already made the elegant mirror, it was included with the bath set since it looks very cute in a bathroom. Items have all of the swatches.
Update (just a bit later):
Added the living chair, and the accent table, which I made the mesh fit better as Sims furniture. Again this object's cloth has been made as a separate item.
Update (continued):
Added the rug & the table lamp. The lamp is giving me an issue with the illumination of the object as shown in the gif above. When turned on, it isn't lighting up. I am just messing with that for now trying to get it to work properly.
Update (continued):
Got the lamp working! 🥳 Now I just need to add the rest of the swatches. As always with my lamp conversions, they look best with the brightness turned down due to my vertex paint brush issue in Blender. In the image above, the color is set to white, and the intensity/brightness is turned down 2 clicks.
Update (Monday night):
I ran into a more time consuming thing with the sofa, all the items with fabric in this set need the part with fabric remapped (see examples above, as-is they look really crazy). The sofa is harder to do because it has so many overlapping dots in blender, and I have to select them to move them where we want on the image texture. I tried it one way and didn't like how it looked, so I'm doing it little bit by bit until it looks normal. I've gotten as far as the gif shows, it's the type of thing where my eyes get tired so I think I might set this item aside for last so I can finish the others.
Update (late Monday night/early Tuesday morning):
Added the bed, and I was able to use an EA mattress with just the fabric pattern from ACNH, so it is fully functional. Not all of the ACNH bed meshes allow for this due to unique things about the mattress section which usually includes unique things on the blanket & pillow meshes. I'm so happy about this one! I'm making each frame color its own package file so that it's not one gigantic file with every single swatch. Trying to make it easier for people to not overload their mods folder & choose which frame colors they might want to leave out of their game, if any (for instance, I am going to leave the gold frame swatch out of my own game after all is done, because it to me it is similar to the light brown swatch and I like that one slightly better). The above gif shows the gold bed frame swatch.
Update (Tuesday noon):
I added the gold place setting, with extra swatches, and liberated all of the items (also with the extra swatches) so that they can be mixed & matched, or used by themselves. Also included is a stack of the plates, & I also added glass versions of the goblets (not all swatches are pictured), I can see them looking pretty on a summer outdoor table setting 🌤🌺 26 items so far.
Update (continued):
Added the fancy tea set
Update (continued):
Liberated each item from the teaset so that they are each their own object. The cup has 2 versions, with & without steam.
Update (continued):
Between laundry loads I have finished the sofa. I am making this item like I did the bed, where each frame color has its own package file, otherwise it will be one gigantic file. The frame color is the color of the wood. I'm going to add the rest of the files/swatches, and I believe then the set will be finished.
