Nordshine Seating - City Living Add-on



With The addition of the new EP, there was quite a few items that were nice........... but needed more variations and style additions. One of those sets was the NordShine Single and Double, an armchair and love seat respectively. They had a solid design, some nice colours, but as usual, there was no 'full set' of seating which does limit its usability. Well I went about fixing that with this add-on set where I not only added some more colours, but also 3 other seating options: a symmetrical love seat, 3 seat sofa, and a bench seat. This brings the total number in this set from 2 to 5. Very much an improvement.

Due to the length of these posts and for ease of updating, you can find the download and info under the cut.

Information you need to know:
  • REQUIRES CITY LIVING
  • The add-on colours are found under the original catalogue entries for single and double variants. Due to glitch however, the grey colour I added becomes the first swatch style instead of the original dark grey. No idea why and i tried to fix it to no avail. It is what it is but still easy enough to find. 
  • The add-on colours are completely optional. They are are a separate download for those that wish to have them
  • With the bench seat, sims will sit on the ends. I can't seem to get around this and it will need custom tuning. So just be aware it can happen. Once i figure out how to properly remove them without creating a script error, i will update. They generally sit on the front of the seat anyway.
Updates:
  • 14/12/2017: updated for the C+D and 12/12/17 patch that broke some surfaces
  • Update 01/02/2017: Updated for toddlers by updating rigging. I have also changed bech seat so it works as a loveseat now so sims don't sit through the armrests. Also fixed issue where sims could only use 2 of the 3 seats for the 3 seat sofa. 
The Build/Buy items feature:
  • Requires City Living Expansion Pack
  • non-default
  • 3 new meshes plus 13 new colours (ontop of original 11 colours) for each style including the originals
  • find items easily using phrase "Nordshine" in search bar (try this tutorial to easily find my sets)
  • custom thumbnails
  • Pricing  and polycount  for new meshes as follows:
    - Triple 3 Seat Sofa  ($625, 520)
    - Symmetrical Double Love Seat  ($480, 458)
    - Quadruple Bench  ($440, 424)

  1. As usual, a very nice addition to EA's stuff. I downloaded only the basic colours, and ended up downloading everything. Also, I didn't like the original NordShine double, it felt incomplete to me. Damn you for making such great stuff that fills up my mods folder to the brim, jaja. Thanks a lot for your hard work!!

  2. Don't mean to bother, and I don't know if you are aware of this (as it is not listed in the info), but the 3 seats sofa only has 2 usable places. I had several sims over to play videogames and two were seated in the left and the center, the other two were standing. When they left, I tried to sit my sim in every seat and he never sat on the right one. Just letting you know.

  5. I know you're very busy right now but I'm obsessively looking for the industrial pipe wall light you have there and haven't found it yet. Would love if you could point me the right way!

  6. Sorry if this is a silly question, I have no idea about the technical side of cc, but I was wondering what (Mirror) means beside the download links?

    1. Nothing to do with cc creating. Mirror just means and alternate (mirror) download that is exactly the same, but hosted somewhere else. It was there for when SFS was down.
