I've been a little more scattered on what I'm working on next. Of course, the pack is coming out right at the busiest time of the year at my job. Still making some progress though. Neck collars and boots are my next goal to complete and honestly probably what I'll end with before pack is released. With luck, I'll get a simple halter or Akhal-Teke bridle or two in queue as well.

Sims 4 horse CCSo the Sims 4 is finally adding horses. As some may or may not know, I used to create equine CC for Sims 3 under the stable name Morning Star Equestrian. I was unsure if I ever would have a desire to do it again. Well, to my own personal surprise, I got the inspiration to do 3D work again after seeing the trailer and announcement. Before reading more: the expansion is not out yet! Any process work is using the Sims 3 horse model with assumption there will be little to change once the Sims 4 one is available. Additionally, don't expect my work to be available day 1 of release. Meshing and texturing is only part of the process. Making it work in game is the second part and often, in my experience, the part that can be the trickiest.Some general information below:I will share WIPs on here of my 3D work. I do NOT work with textures so none of my WIPs will likely have textures. I am partnering with @minervamagicka who is a magician with texture work and general game modeling. I do not take requests. I may run polls, but I don't take direct requests. I did this back when I made Sims 3 CC and it caused me to burn out very quickly. I like working in a 3D space. I will make what I want to make and if you want it, too, that's great. Trust me, my own to-do list is exceedingly long and constantly growing. My focus is English tack, mainly bridles and bits. I don't have plans to do hair as the Sims 4 hair art style is much different than I used to do. I will be exploring fantasy/costume options. I don't really care if it's silly, niche, or unrealistic. These are things I'm interested in making. I don't think I can convert any of my previous work since a lot of my fantasy content relied on transparency properties of the mesh which I just don't know if it will work the same for TS4. Don't invite me to your RP communities. I have no desire to join one again. If I stop making content or if new content is slow, please do not pester me about it. I have a more intensive work schedule than I did back in TS3 days as well as working on other creative pursuits.Lastly, all content myself and @minervamagicka create will be freely available. We may set up a ko-fi or Patreon with optional donation (tbd), but nothing will be gated behind a paywall or community requirement. I acknowledge both that this is a hobby and that Electronic Arts is the ultimate holder of anything created for their game. However, please be a good human and not steal or fail to give credit. See all you horse simmers in late July

You can see a progress list of planned CC here:
