Green Man

After last years tree fall, I wasn't thinking much about the garden.

But something magical happened. 

It came back like gang busters.

There are not words to describe the feeling
when you realize that
while I had given up on it

it had not given up on me.

Therein lies the inspiration for this set.

Gardens are a lot of hard work

and the results can be years in the making.

Exotic Elements and I agree

that your sim shouldn't need to suffer any longer.

That's why we've created a few things

that we love to see in a garden

either public or private or even secret . . .

Today, I have for you 16 17* items that are inspired by the great outdoors.

Exotic Elements has 10 more! MOAR even!

So buckle up your overalls, get those shovels ready,

and get ready for a truckload of pictures.

A bird bath, a fountain, a gazing ball

Sweet Woodruff Plant, Purple Oxalis Seedling, 2 Garden Cloche, A specimen Plaque

A working glowing clock, an Art Deco Lantern, a Star Lantern

Large modern sphere sculpture (glowing), A broken WA statue, A small Picasso-inspired  Steer  Head

2 styles of Obelisk, and an over-sized garden 'finial' 

Most of these items also have a mossy style

For that gently forgotten look.

(Where did I put my garden again?)

So go ahead, make a

Conservatory with a starry sky,

Grow things and observe them up close,  

Enhance your Gothic manor  

Enjoy your garden at night 

Mourn in style, yo 

Eat your lunch in style in the office courtyard

Work too hard and enjoy your dinner in the courtyard at night, too!

Make a Santa Fe Zen Garden. You're so cutting edge!

Just garden already! It's fun and rewarding!

PHEW!

That's a lot of looks bubbies!

There are a couple of notes about this set:

The Sweet Woodruff is a little higher 

than the recommended poly count at about 1600 polys. 

Oops. It won't crash your game, but I am compelled to mention it.

The clock - if you place it indoors on a single level,

 the ceiling will cut off the top of it. 

This is shift-able, so just drag it down a little 

while holding the 'alt' key - all better!

So go ahead and

DOWNLOAD sim3pack

or

and get yourself some green fingers!

*OH - a big DUH for me - neoscat found that I had not included the steer head
(a thousand thanks neoscat!) - the above links have been updated.

Many thanks to Exotic Elements, AlexPilgrim, and Lemon Jelly for testing these items

A HUGE thank you to Mutske for explaining how to add slots to an object that has none

and as always a massive hug to Exotic Elements for being a continued inspiration
