STUFF PACK: References for Concept Artists
SimGuruKimmi
Posts: 43 SimGuru
Hey everyone! The concept artists are interested in seeing what kind of objects and CAS you would like to see around the Stuff Pack theme of ‘eco-living’! Keeping in mind of the country-ish feel, please post your wishlist/suggestions with references (we artists are visual people, and pictures are helpful).
If you are new to the forums and cannot post images, be as descriptive as possible! Style, material, size, etc.
OBJ: Object suggestions must be MIMICS. They have to be an object class we already have in the game. For example: sofa, table, bookshelf, shower, stereo, wood working bench, etc. Clutter objects are perfectly fine as long as it does not imply gameplay. It needs to still follow the same technical placement/animation rules as existing items, without holding alt or using cheats like moveobjects.
CAS: CAS suggestions can include hair, accessories, shoes, tops, bottoms, and body (one piece outfits like suits, dresses, overalls, etc).
Remember references help us see what kind of style you are suggesting. When you post an image, be sure to point out what you like about it. Is it the material? Colors? Design? Also think about the style of the furniture/clothing. How does it all tie in together? As a wholistic pack, how does this fit into the ‘eco-living’ theme? This is a perfect opportunity to share your vision of what ‘eco-living’ means to you in an artistic view. But remember eco-living as a theme. You will vote on the name at a later date.
All the references you provide will serve as inspiration for the artists and hopefully lead us into the right direction.
TLDR; Please go back and read it. Thanks!

Please do not suggest objects we do not have in game yet.
Objects with new gameplay, animations, or functionality are things

also hair ribbons for toddlers would be darling like these
https://goo.gl/images/DxGMqL
also I love the little girls dress in the pic
as for the adults I really want a peace symbol necklace from the 60s like this one

I would love to see some cute overalls that look like something someone would wear while gardening. A little messy, but still trendy.
I also would love a casual blue jean romper
As well as loose and flowing dresses that look boho but less bright and in your face than movie hangout colors.
And the last thing on my suggestions is long messy hair. The closest thing we have right now is romantic garden's long hair or the base games long wavy hair, but it isnt messy, just perfect wave. I'd like to see something more roughed up like this

and for radio I was thinking this

Whereas it doesn't have to be Boho, just feel like not that much thought was put into it, it should be simple. Also maybe some let down hair that could be a little messy, from like working. I can also relate to many of the items (cas and build/buy) could be old things that the familys for example have gotten maybe from a relative who doesn't need it. So it ought to look worn, maybe old, but not poor. I think also simple clothes. Maybe you should put in a second-hand store in the world! The other thing I Really want to see in this pack is probably DIY items. Now I know you said not to request items with new gameplay but just hear me out. I would like to see even more things the sims can craft themselves. They could collect and have a craft table where they have to fins specific items and then they can craft them! I also think you should add premade greenhouses. Where the sims can grow more things than before. I also think you should add in some kind of low-energy lights that maybe aren't as bright. I also think it would be fun to actually have some kind of recycling system. Like maybe we have not just new fecykling bins but like if you have those maybe like "the recycling man" could come and take the trash. It would also be fun if you added a new trait like in TS3 Eco-Friendly from Abitions expansion pack. And it would have sort of the same effect, they could get confident or happy when they recycled or crafted something. Anyways, hopw you reed and take my oppinion into account, bye!

I've been waiting for a male hair like this for ages now! With the right outfits I think it could fit the theme.
I really like this

When gardening, doing chores, putting in the elbow grease that hard work takes to live eco-friendly, it's handy to have your hair out of your face. Handkerchiefs are a cute and recyclable way to tie up hair in a quick fix. Cuts of cloth that look like rags or old shirts could really make it feel like it is part of an eco-friendly lifestyle.
Also no reason why some of these can't be used for kids or toddlers.
Would love to have more things for my handiness sims to make on the woodworking bench if its possible
From wood that looks reclaimed, re-used, re-cycled
I like the pink stool and bar set, I'd love a new bed in particular ...
question: will the furniture and deco pieces be specifically for a laundry/utilites room like shown in your picture, or has that not yet been decided and things like beds are ok to suggest?
I would love to have a modular set like this: bookcase, sidetable, coffee table, TV stand, desk, dining table, bench.
As for deco, I'm always desperately looking for small items I can place on the wall shelves in game. Re-used pot plants that dangle over the edge of a wall shelf would be cute
Would love to see something for CAS for kids and toddlers
I couldn't find what I was looking for in google images. So I went into the game and made them using MOO cheats. These were made by using MOO cheat and resizing the objects. They are herb wall clutter and a cabinet style I like. They are not perfect but examples using objects that are already in game to give you an idea of wall clutter and a cabinet style like the one in the B picture we voted on. I would also love to have a all-in-one broom, mop, dustpan, and duster wall clutter object like the garden wall tools object that we have in game. Part of the garden wall clutter is in the first picture.
First picture is the kind of wall clutter I use in my game without using the MOO cheat.
The next picture is the objects I used.
The rest are the objects I made.
mirrored armoire:
Open shelving full of jars, and an island, but obvs. would have to be a single-tile version:
the hutch in that is also charming
Cabinets and farmhouse sink:
Washboard decor:
Wallpaper:
rag rug:
bench that's basket/cubby storage:
plants:
- I would like some new sofas and chairs with warm green, yellow, orange and brown colour options and checkered patterns. I like the colours and pattern of this sofa:
- Brooms, dustpans as wall decoration, dishwashing brushes, sponges
- Wood with paint coming off, a bit like on this table
- I like this cabinet and I would love if it could come with matching kitchen cabinets and even a matching fridge:
- Different colours trash bins (green, blue, black and orange at least) to represent seperating trash
- I would love to see more plants, also some herbs for the kitchen, like a parsley plant, chive plant, rosemary plant
Curtains for @Cinebar !
