Quiet Corner - Book Display (Patreon)

Hey everyone!

I wanted to finish this set earlier but these last few days were really hard for me, it took a lot to work on this set and complete it.

Sorry, if I won't be that animated in this post, despite that I'm still excited to share this set because I worked a lot on it, especially on the book covers.

This part of the Quiet Corner Collection focused finally on the books and showcasing them in the shop. I wanted to create bookshelves, displays and a lots of books. As you may saw my posts on Patreon I tried to as many book covers as I could. They took a lot of time so I couldn't do everyone's suggestion but thank you for everyone who sent one. I handpainted all of them in small resolution so in general one cover took about 10 minutes.

Sidenote: I don't know if you like it, I have access to a new feature on Patreon called Quips and I used that to post the latest updates. I think it doesn't send out notification emails and it's more like a quick post. Also it doesn't show up in my post feed so maybe it won't clutter up the posts section and hide the download posts. Let me know which one you prefer, if I write the WIPs in full, long posts (with email notification) or this new Quips (which I think only show up in the app, but I'm not sure about that, I can only write one from the app.) I thought I could combine, and post Quips daily-ish, and the usual WIP posts once a week where I detail everything.

About the collection:The bookshelf is modular and can be placed next to each other seamlessly. I made some cabinets which snap to the wall and you can either build up a unit with them or put them above the bookshelf. They are 1 tile high so for medium wall you can place bookshelf+1 cabinet for tall bookshelf+2 cabinets. I was really inspired by the bookshelves in Livraria Lello in Porto, but I simplifed and changed the design so it fits to the style I was going for with my bookshop.

Both the bookshelf and the display shelf has a slot for a book genre sign, you can snap it on them and change the swatch.

I made the display shelf and the round display Businesses&Hobbies compatible so you can sell things from them. A slight disadvantage that you can't decorate them if you enable the sales because sims will buy the deco things as well. But on the display shelf you can put the in-game books and sell them (some of them have that thing when you put them somewhere they magically have a bookstand under them), and I plan to do some functional, readable books (hopefully) to have some trendy books in the game, and I'll use your earlier suggestions for that.

That's all. I hope you like this set, and I hope I can continue with the next part that I plan to be the last for this collection. Right now I'm a little overwhelmed and I have a hard time finding my motivation.

I just want to say, if you're here and keep supporting me by either subscribing or just following me, I am really grateful and I never once took it for granted. I respect everyone's opinion if they come with the same respect but I won’t respond to any hateful comments directed at me. I'll keep doing my Patreon as before, I won't post less, actually as I said in an earlier post, I want to post more often.
