Hello Everyone 🙂

This month continues the deVELL Kitchen from last month, with a focus on appliances. I wanted to create a seamless, built-in look — but that comes with a technical challenge called shaders.

Here’s a quick explanation: most objects use the “phong” shader, which responds to all the light sources in the room and supports animations — like when fridge, oven, or dishwasher doors open.

Seamless items like counters and cabinets, however, use different shaders that get their lighting from the floor or wall. This makes them blend in beautifully, but they don’t support animations.

And that’s the tricky part: the two shader types look slightly different in-game. But to create a kitchen that’s both functional and seamless, I had to use both — one for animations, the other for that smooth, connected finish.

I managed to create a built-in fridge and dishwasher, but for the best look, you may need to play around a bit with lighting and placement in the room. There’s no perfect solution — just a bit of creative adjustment.

You’ll also get a few oven options this month — the AVA series includes both a single-tile and a two-tile version. If you prefer something sleeker, there’s also a built-in double oven (needs Dream Home Decorator) and gas hob.

To round it out, I’ve added matching cabinets for standalone fridges, a plain counter for the dishwasher, and a tall cabinet for the double oven. And to accessorise, you’ll find the deVELL sink and a decorative pot filler — perfect finishing touches for your kitchen.

I hope you enjoy these new items! I’m not quite done with this kitchen yet — next month will focus on all the little things that truly bring it to life.

Thanks so much for your support — and as always, happy simming!

Lots of luv,
Felix xx
