The African Sim

A happy Simbr celebrating, collecting and reblogging African themed custom content (tagged as africacc) - I also make custom content (tagged mycc). I blog non Sims stuff sometimes (tagged nonsims) especially if it celebrates or supports African heritage and history.

Peace be upon you, enjoy the site and feel free to message me!

Ethnic Earrings - recolours by TheAfricanSim for The Sims 4

Needed some beautiful dangly earrings in bright, bold colours, so recoloured 5 some of my favourite ones using my West African palette + WMS’s Lipstick Punch pink (because… do we really need a reason to add pink?). I also recoloured the basegame medium round earrings and enabled them for males.

- Brass Dancer & Boho Enamel earrings by @chisimi here (x)

I use the “plain white” pure expressions wall a lot and wanted to have some exact matches for Kids room stuff. It’s simple but handy.

B & B Recoloured Victorian Dollhouse (Lighter and Darker versions) - for Kids & Toddlers

The original is too dark to match most kids rooms (based on the Kids Stuff pack), but now that we are getting Vampire Stuff, it would also help to have some even darker options. so you can get these recolours HERE (Dropbox).

Note: This package turned out to be pretty big (22 Mb) since I scaled up the texture to finetune it. I might make a more compact version later on but if it occupies too much space for you, I sugguest you delete the swatches you don’t want with Sims4Studio.

B & B Asiey Barbie Purple Paintings & Canvases

I was going to wait and add some more things to this download but we need something beautiful - happy - blackgirlmagic during these difficult days, so here are some basegame recolours in purple with the very awesome @asieybarbie’s artwork. This one I dedicate to @babyphatqueen1​ because she is so sweet and supportive, and asked about the set I was preparing with this (haven’t forgot about it, boo! Still going to happen!).  

No mesh necessary, canvases are buyable without cheats (it’s in clutter) and in 3 swatches; I featured 8 paintings with two choices of frame each (cream and lavender).  Standalone recolours, won’t override anything, basegame compatible, custom thumbnails.

TOU: As always, please do not claim as yours, do not re-upload and please give credit where credit is due (many thanks to @asieybarbie and wishing her much luck and fortune).

Download it HERE (Dropbox, no ads).   Keep cool & dream in purple.

I loved @onyxsims‘ Tommy Hilfiger collection for kids and wanted some of those iconic polo shirts to go with the pants and shoes, so here they are. Just 3 add-on swatches, disabled for random, for both girls and boys, colour tagged correctly, found under “Polo” (sucks that we only had 1, right?), basegame compatible, with custom thumbnails. 

You can download it HERE (Dropbox, no ads).

Credits: S4S, Photoshop, original design by Tommy Hilfiger

CC Credits: Pants, shorts, and shoes by @onyxsims here, girl’s hair by @onyxsims here, skin and skin details by @xmiramira here.

TOU: Use as you wish but please do not re-upload or claim as yours, and credit me if you use it for anything. I designed the textures myself (no cut and paste) but based on Tommy Hilfiger products seen online, so this is fan art from which I do not make any profit.

TheAfricanSim’s West African Wedding Dress (BGC)

It’s my most complicated recolour-retexture yet as every single fold and section was individually mapped/planned/tweaked/painted, but I would expect nothing less for an African wedding dress that so often is hand stitched and exquisitely designed. There are 3 swatches - “Jacqui” - dedicated to @pedanticbohemian who is a wonderful friend and loves fan textiles, “Danielle” dedicated to my lovely birthday twin @ebonixsimblr (our birthday was this week), and “Nkiru” dedicated to @nigerian373 and her upcoming wedding!! And a big shoutout to @lcsims who cheered me on to finish it, hopefully I am in time for her to use it in the beautiful Sims wedding she has planned!

El Potrillo Restaurant (no cc)

I live in Spain so eventually I was going to make a Spanish restaurant and here it is. It’s playtested, fully functional and build around my personal peeves:
- big open areas for routing/good pictures, fully decorated 
- an upstairs small apartment for when the owner needs to nap, shower or whatever. Fridge, stove, desk, shower, PC, the basics. There is a door leading to the stairs to this apartment which I recommend you lock for everyone but the owner.
- fridge on base floor for when the owner needs to eat
- 2 chefs’ stations
- waiting area with comfy seating and music to keep customers in a good mood
- three toilets on the 2nd floor (one has a bath too)
- live entertainment (guitar, microphone) and bar (both on 2nd floor)

Details: 20x15 plot in Oasis, 156.748 Simoleons, 3 floors.

Note: I played it for a few hours, the only issue I had was that low level waitresses would decide to go and have a bath or make drinks if there were no customers. Also, since I had multiple owners, one of them wandered up to the bed with one of her employees *sigh* when I wasn’t looking. 

You can get El Potrillo Restaurant from the Gallery (tallyx90 is my Origin ID) or here (Dropbox) (unzip and put into your tray). Please activate MOO before you place it too. Any issues let me know. No CC used but I used Dine Out and Get Together - I can’t remember if I used anything else major but if so I think it was decoration mainly.

TOU: Please do not re-upload or claim as yours. Credit me (with a link back here) if you use it for anything and tag me if you like, no obligation.

Basegame add-on for Movie Hangout/Day of the Dead (aka Boho Pack)

This is less than half of what I made for myself in order to make Movie Hangout Stuff “usable” for me (I wanted to stick to just a few wacky colours not have all of them at the same time) but I have rushed it out because it goes REALLY well with Day of the Dead (of course - vibrant hues, stucco and tiles) - and secondly, who knows if I ever will really finish this project? I used as the main reference the different combinations of the double doors and ended up with 13 swatches I have used for most things. This project I dedicate to @peacemaker-ic​  because I get the feeling that he probably stuck to the neutral swatches too since the others were so hard to match (if he ever got the pack at all!) and to the amazing @papa-plumbob who whipped up some great recolours for this pack too. 

To play with these little colourful presents, download link and info under cut.
