I originally intended to have this be an even larger upload than the rocks ones from a few years ago. I couldn't sustain enough motivation to work on this anymore after working on and off for years, so I just made it a smaller upload. I made or modified a handful of meshes and made a few dozen recolors. I also edited some of the nook folly garden grounds and borders to remove shine and outdoor shadows.

Meshes:

Floor edge hider straight and corner pieces, cloned from Honeywell's bespoke build set so these need to be placed on the same level of the floor edge you want to cover

Outside wall corner, also cloned from and based on the one from the bespoke set

Shelf beds based on and cloned from igne's shelf beds.

Pet bed, top used edited cushion from dark moon's niche crib and is also repo'd to the maxis bedding like the changing tables and cribs in that set. I fixed the issue with the niche part of the mesh being dark after I did the preview. From what I've tested, this can be used as a pet bunk bed with shiftable everything and moveobjects on.

Tudor support from Cyclonesue. I removed the floor part of the mesh. It's in the columns section but doesn't function like a true column. Has a new GUID.

Retaining walls and wall tops that are a mashup of both versions of tbugett's retaining walls

Walls used for Recolors:

4t2 corrugated walls from the eco lifestyle EP. I don't recall which conversion for these I used, but there's at least 2 versions of these around.

Poppet's plain jane stucco ~~half of the files for this are older than my simblr, I just added the other half recently~~

A handful of Feverfew walls

Lifa's plain GLS wood wall addons

Shasta's BV and AL chimney walls

2 metal panels from MellySim's 1t2 walls

LS little hexagons tiles. I used Corax's wall addon for the blue one and made my own addon wall for the white one, which is included in the download

Known issues:

Shelf beds clip through the floor into the below floor if the built in setting to make them floor level is used. Though it's still above the AL ceiling level and should only be an issue in some situations without a ceiling. It was a tradeoff between this and having the beds clip though the bottom of the was when in use.

The retaining walls are dark looking unless a significant portion of them is above ground.

All files are compressed with included swatches, the main niche mesh, and preview.
