🍽️ Day 6 - Holiday Table

Hey friends! Today is the last day of my Holiday Calendar Event!

Thank you to everyone who joined my Patreon or continued supporting me during this month of surprises. It was so much fun (even though some items were hard to create omg)

Today’s final surprise is a Holiday Table! To help your Sims celebrate the holidays with a grand meal, they’ll need a grand table!

You can find it in the Build/Buy catalog by searching for “Holiday” or “Arnie”. It’s a beautifully dressed table with a starry cloth and a glittery table runner! You can decorate it with candles, plants, or simply leave it as it is. The choice is yours! ✨

I hope you enjoyed this Holiday Calendar event, let me know if you'd like to see something similar next year :) You can download the file below!

🎁 Day 5 - Interactive Gift Boxes

Hey friends, it's almost Christmas and today I have a actual gift for your sims, because it's INTERACTIVE GIFT BOXES!

With these new base-game gift boxes, you can offer your friends and family presents in beautifully customizable boxes, and even stack them up!

To do so, simply drag an object into the box or place it in its inventory. You can also purchase gifts directly from the box, and even rename the tag to indicate who the gift is for!

When your Sim opens the present, they will sit on the ground in front of the Holiday Tree to unwrap it and react to the gift inside! There's also a nice confetti explosion animation :)

Hope you like it! And I hope your sims get LOTS of presents for this year's Winterfest!

You can download the file down below! See you on Tuesday (Dec.24th) for the last release! Xoxoxo🎁

🎮 Day 4 - Nimeeko Swift Console (and accessories)

Hey friends, we're getting closer to Christmas and today I have a great gift for you all! Introducing the Nimeeko Swift Console!

This is a base game-compatible console, and it works just like the other consoles in-game. Place the docked console next to a TV (or the Console Screen TV -- see below!) and play your favorite games with friends and family!

It even features a custom controller for your Sims to use while playing. Plus, it includes decorative items like the Deco Controller, which you can place around, and a decorative Stack of Games!

How to use the Console Screen?

In order for your sims to play with the Standing Console Screen, you must first place a Docked Console close to it! And make sure the docked console isn't linked to another TV. Put a seat not too far from the console screen, and enjoy!

You can download the file down below! See you on Friday (Dec. 20th) for the next release!🌟

🎄 Day 3 - Chocolate Holiday Calendar

[Dec.16th HOTFIX]: Omg I forgot to merge files in the export! So sorry! The DAY3 package file has been updated to fix this problem! Please download it again and remove the older version! See u tomorrow for the next one xoxo

It's DAY 3 of my Holiday Calendnar 🎁 And today I have a new surprise for you, an actual Holiday Calendar IN GAME!

This wall-mounted calendar, shaped like a Christmas tree, brings back so many childhood memories for me 🥹. It’s inspired by the classic chocolate advent calendars that were super popular (and still are!) when I was a kid. Each little window hides a chocolate surprise to enjoy every day leading up to Christmas 🎄✨

You can set up this holiday calendar at the start of the winter season in your game and enjoy a chocolate every day until Winterfest! 🍫 But be careful, you can only eat one chocolate per day, there is a cooldown preventing your sims from eating tomorrow's chocolate candy!

When your Sim opens a window to grab a beautiful Holiday Tree-Shaped Chocolate Candy, there's a festive Winterfest-themed confetti animation! 🎉🎄I hope this new item brings as much joy to your gameplay as I had creating it! It comes in several beautiful swatches with golden glitter sprinkled all over for that extra festive magic!✨

You can download the file down below! See you on Tuesday (Dec. 17th) for the next release!🌟

----------------------

▶️ Day 2 - Winterfest Loading Screen

It's DAY 2 of my Holiday Calendnar 🎁 And today I have a new Loading Screen for you all!

It features a clean look, without the tips, with a simple animated Sims 4 Logo I used for my other loading screens, and a gorgeous Winterfest scene (that features some items from my mods). I hope you like it and it brings you joy during this IRL WInterfest season🎄

Don't forget to remove any other custom loading screen from your mods folder since only one can work at a time. If you don't want to take them out of your Mods folder, you can also just rename them by adding "OFF" at the end of the file extension to turn it off. Example with my Gradient Stunning Screen, rename it to: "Arnie_StunningScreens(Gradient).packageOFF"

You can download the file down below! See you on Friday (Dec. 13th) for the next release!🌟

🛋️ Day 1 - Cozy Nook

For the first day of my Holiday Calendar, I'm happy to introduce a couple new items to create a Cozy Nook in your sims' homes: The Snowy Window Nook, the Cozy Nook Loveseat (bonus: the Window Nook without snow)

The Window Nook comes in 12 swatches, and the Cozy Nook Loveseat offers 13 swatches! To create a peaceful holiday corner in your home, place the window at the lowest level of your room and position the Cozy Nook Loveseat inside. It’s the perfect spot to relax with a good book with festive vibes! 📚✨🎄

The Window comes in two versions: with or without snow! Here is a look at the snowy window nook from the outside down below ⬇️

That's it for today's release, see you next Tuesday (Dec. 10th) for the next one!🌟
