Maxis Mini Reno Challenge: Rules

I wanted to challenge myself to renovate Maxis’ original builds, but only minor renovations for major impact—a mini reno! Here are the rules: 

Base Game or Single Pack Only 

Use only base game or base game plus pack containing world being renovated. For example, if renovating a house in Brindleton Bay, items from the base game and Cats and Dogs expansion pack are allowed. 

Within 20% of Original Home Value 

Stay within 20% of the budget or house value of the original build. I initially came up with this rule because I wanted starter homes to stay affordable! 

Keep Some Original Character

This one is subject to some judgment! The new build should have some characteristics resembling the original build. For example, maybe a house stays the same color scheme but uses different paints, or the style of the house still matches the neighborhood (like, New Orleans style in Willow Creek), or a family house stays fit for a family. These are just some ideas and not all are necessary, but the old build should be somewhat recognizable in the new one. 

Keep Same Number of Beds and Baths 

For example, a 2 bed, 2 bath house should still be 2 bed, 2 bath in the end!

Debug Items Allowed 

I’m going to try not to use too many debug items, but they’re so tempting to use for landscaping! So, I’ll allow it!

Free Stuff Pack Allowed 

Again, I’m going to challenge myself still to use base game only, but if I need to dip into the free stuff, I’ll allow it! 

I’ll be uploading my renovations to the gallery under ID: meetcutesims - let me know what you think and if you try out this challenge, too! Happy Simming!

Sims 4 Snowy Escape - All New Food and Drink Menus for Dine Out Restaurants

Not gonna lie. Dine Out is one of my favorite DLC packs, and I’ve actually bought other packs simply because I wanted new foods in my Sims’ restaurants... 

I haven’t always been able to find a list of the new foods and drinks that become available for each pack though, so I thought I’d compile my own. This post will focus on the Snowy Escape expansion pack and I’ll link the other packs I include in the future.

The Sims 4 Snowy Escape, released in November 2020, mainly features canned drinks, Japanese and Japanese-inspired dishes, and healthier versions of foods already available in the game (they can now be made with chickpea, egg whites, turkey, whole wheat, or low-fat ingredients). 

Here are the new restaurant meal options I found in The Sims 4 Snowy Escape expansion pack (screenshot and list of all items below): 

Note: The screenshot above is missing the Beef Yakisoba from the Main Course options. Oops!

DRINKS (11): Grapefruit Seltzer Water, Lemon Seltzer Water, Lime Seltzer Water, Chilled Sage Green Tea, Hot Sage Green Tea, Lychee Soda, Melon Soda, Plum Soda, Chilled Chatter Coffee, Hot Chatter Coffee, Galactic Vita-Water

APPETIZERS (2): Chickpea Mac and Cheese, Onigiri (both appetizers are also available as options for your main course)

MAIN COURSES (2+25=27): Chickpea Mac and Cheese, Onigiri, Egg Whites and Toast, Whole Wheat Grilled Cheese, Beef Yakisoba, Avocado Maki Roll, Beef Ramen, Egg Ramen, Miso Ramen, Oden, Salmon Maki Roll, Scrambled Egg Whites with Turkey Bacon, Seaweed Ramen, Sukiyaki, Tamago Nigiri, Tuna Maki Roll, Tuna Nigiri, Yosenabe, Veggie Yakisoba, Whole Wheat Pancakes, Chickpea Spaghetti, Turkey Taco Casserole, Fish Yakisoba, Low-Fat Chili, Salmon Nigiri, Egg White Omelet, Pan-Seared Bass

DESSERTS (2): Matcha Tea Cake, Tri-Color Dango

I plan on compiling the menus for all the other packs I’ve bought, too. Stay tuned and follow me for more! Happy Simming!

Meet Taylor from Folklore and Evermore

Taylor Swift was the first celebrity I ever made in The Sims 4 CAS. When I first uploaded her to my EA Gallery, I dressed her up in outfits from past albums and award shows, but I was super excited to redress her for her new albums and play her while listening to Folklore and Evermore. <3 Such a beautiful mood.

I wish the Sims 4 CAS allowed you to custom select eye color (would have been helpful with Katie’s darker hazel eyes!). But I am pretty stoked about their recent update with new skin tones.
