details in the ekko page of the official art book is making me incredibly ill as it is confirmed that the words and doodles all over the book are in fact, jinx’s thoughts and feelings
best boy. a crown over his head. the aggressive scribbling over their held hands. hearts drawn all around him. discreetly writing her own name on his arm. making his hair partially blue to match hers. and do not even get me started on the “would you dance with me?” GOOD FUCKING BYE
I keep seeing complaints about how the Hexgate/Anomaly polluting the undercity, specifically poisoning the Firelight tree, subplot and Ekko and Jayce’s conflict over it, never got any payoff or resolution.
But…uh…yes it absolutely did: Ekko got to blow up the two guys who built the Hexgate, using a miniature replica of the anomaly to do it.
The guy who saw firsthand how much better things would have been (specifically for the undercity) without Hextech got to literally throw their magical bullshit back in their faces. And the fact that the device he used to do it had a design reference to Powder’s monkey bomb is just *chef’s kiss*
Honestly, for me, that was actually the most satisfying “Zaun takes vengeance on Piltover” moment in the entire show.
Have you ever wanted to own a record store? Now you can! Well, in game at least (lol). I always had this vision of what I wanted my store to look like- and I have finally created this set that kind of brought that vision to life. Dusty wooden furniture, neon lights, record players and records scattered everywhere were just some of the things I had in mind but I hope this set will bring you so much more.
To download everything and get some more info on the items + the monthly Patreon's gift set, CLICK HERE to visit my Patreon page (the set will be public on 4th May).
Fun fact: I wanted to add functionality to this set so the records can be sold & bought (when placed on the Stairway To Heaven retail shelf) at your small business (requires the Business & Hobbies EP)! Once your sim buys them, they can be found in the Household Inventory. What's a better b'day present for a sim than their favorite record? There's also a magazine/comic book rack so that your customers can entertain themselves while listening to their favorite artist. 🎵
Special thanks to peacemaker for the stunning wood textures; myshunosun, nucrests, helgatisha and trillyke for various textures + simlish graphics <3

Hi Valentina, I love your work and really looking to learn how to make sims 4 maxis match furni. Do you have any tips or tutorials? I create in second life so I'm very familiar with blender, mostly looking for help with the spec maps and texturing as i feel my stuff always comes out so shiny. Thank you in advance <3!!
Hey! Thank you! I don't think I'm an expert but I can give some tips I usually do to achieve a MM look (although I think my objects are not exactly MM in style).
I think it starts with the modeling. MM items don't have too small details and too thin parts. I like to think about this as if I would have to craft miniature models in real life. No matter how hard I would try, there are some things that are too small to knit/sculpt/draw etc. You can always tell these are miniatures. So I try to start with this in mind and skew the real life ratios of an item to give them a slight cartoony look.
For texturing I can suggest that use simple, stylized textures, not too dark shadows. Try handpainting simple details on you textures. For the specular map, I usually search for something similar in material from the in-game items and export their spec map to see what colors I should use. My best trick yet is to use Gradient Map in Photoshop to match the colors to the in-game one's. I always reduce the alpha layer so it isn't too overpowering. But you have to test a lot to see if it looks good or not.
I hope I could help you! Best of luck with your MM journey!

Around the Sims 4 | Computing
So I haven't advertised for any of my future sets yet? It might be because I usually use my laptop for this, that died just when I released the Computing set on Patreon. Ironic, huh?
It will be released on Around the Sims 4 the 20th of January. It’s available in early access for Patreons right now.
My first little recolor pack! I decided that the wallpaper that had the most swatches needed... even more swatches. I wanted a few more saturated colors and a larger variety of swatches for the wainscoting, since it is my favorite from base game. Also I put 2 different purple swatches because we don't have nearly enough purple in this game! The screenshots show the swatches under a warmer light and under The Super Subtle Saucer Light - no reshades were used so people could see the very base of this recolor. ✿ Free CC ✿ Base Game compatible ✿ 32 swatches total You can download it through Google Drive [here], since I haven't figured out the other places I can make CC available. If you have any issues, let me know!
Hey Simmers ! I was so hyped by the new Sleek Bathroom Kit by @syboubou ! This kit is insanely good. Buuuut as I'm one of few (or many IDK) who likes to have functional objects though, I've made the basket from this kit functional with Laundry Day Stuff Pack !
