Cottagecore Kitchen Collab

Published: January 14th 2025, 11:35:46 am

Hi everyone :)

I collaborated with a good friend of mine on this set. We're beyond proud of the outcome and I hope you all love it as much as we do!

Your Sims can now sit on counters and finally use kitchen cabinets!

This set comes with new and functional counters and cabinets. The cabinets work as storage boxes so Sims can keep all their kitchen supplies in one place! If you prefer cabinets without storage, separate cabinets that only function as shelves are available too. The counters come with an additional separate piece that functions as a seat and can be placed among the other counters. Your Sims can now chat with other Sims, read books, knit, practice singing or just browse their phone all while sitting down on a counter! Unfortunately, to avoid conflicting animations and script errors, Sims cannot use the counter seat for cooking. You will also have to turn on the bb.moveobjects cheat to be able to place the counter. I suggest using bb.moveobjects to place the cabinet shelves as well since they won't snap into place automatically. Holding down the alt key will also help you to position them the way you want.

Default replacements!

Additionally, we created a few default replacements for more realistic cooking. The blocky base game cutting board, spoon and saucepan have been replaced with more realistic meshes in a rustic style to fit the cottagecore aesthetic.

Please note that the overrides will conflict with other custom content that replaces those same objects. To avoid too many pack requirements and make the set more accessible for everyone, we've only included overrides for base game recipes so the unlockable City Living recipes will still use the old default meshes and textures.

Cute clutter:

Of course, we also included some decorative objects in this set! Decorate your kitchen with beautiful cottagecore themed clutter.

Known issues:

There are some slight clipping with the counter and the Sims' legs when they sit down, especially if they're wearing skirts/dresses or wide legged pants. The functional teapots have a few issues with the animations and one will clip slightly through the top of the counter when the tea is being prepared. Unfortunately, we couldn't fix those issues but the items are still perfectly functioning in game so we didn't want to completely remove them from the pack. We hope that you can look past those small imperfections and still get a lot of joy out of this set! If you discover any other bugs, please let us know!

Details:

• 26 items in total
• all meshes are base game compatible except for the strawberry cooking pot which requires the cottage living expansion pack
• all items have a reasonable poly count. The highest poly count is around 15k-16k for the apple pie and the floral teapot. If your PC can't handle high poly items feel free to just delete that .package file from the folder
• All items have been play tested

If you come across any issues, please let us know!!
