Introducing fourteen new pieces of furniture into the game primarily focused around natural looking variants of items that have functions; such as the calendar and the scratching post.
Hello my fellow modders! Here's the beginning of a mod I'm making that I'm choosing to call Natural Furniture Collection. My aim is to create furniture that looks more natural, like what a cat would actually be capable of, instead of stealing entire chairs and beds from twoleg nests and dragging them all the way to their dens in the Wildwood from who-knows-where. (Although Bob does say that he makes furniture himself, so...) Here's a preview of the first piece in the mod: the Treebark Calendar!

Update: So I haven't worked on this a lot recently - kittens in real life have been keeping me away from digital cats - but I did throw this together last night: Behold! The leaf bed! I made this out of the birch leaves, thinking it would be easy enough, and realistic to take the actual leaves from the game to make for an accurate looking pile of leaves. It (obviously) fits with the style of the game perfectly, and is a small enough bed to easily accommodate a singular cat, and to tuck in a corner away from the draft of your den's entryway.

Looking forward to the completed mod! It's nice to have more natural options for furniture.

And once again another piece of the collection: the Musical shell! I was wondering about how to implement a natural record player, since the only time I've ever seen cats and records together was in the beginning of Aristocats. (did anyone else grow up watching that movie?) I decided to make it a shell, since it's said you can hear the ocean if you put your ear up to it, but in this case, you hear something besides else - such as Spring 2. I think it turned out amazing! It's making me consider replacing the default conch shells found in the game with this sprite as well, that's how much I like it!

It's been a little while since I posted an update, but I was preoccupied with playing Sonic Frontiers to work on this a bit more. Anyway; here's yet another addition to the collection, which is a little hard to see, but if you look at the corners of the den, you'll realize that there aren't any! I took the leaves off the various tree sprites, and made them into a wall-hanging item to hide the sharp edges of the den walls, and to create a more natural and wild look. It's also seasonal! The leaves will match the walls in every season. Though it goes without saying that this is made for the grass wall type, and not the others. I think it would also look good on the stone wall as well, but I haven't done much experimenting with it.

Finally sat down and finished this! Here are the final pieces of the collection: the Scratching Log, the Scratching Stump, and the Prey Pile. The scratching stump and log function as the Scratching Post does. I was inspired by Brightstar's tree stump scratching post, since that one looks so good, but I did my own take on it with both a smaller and a full-sized log instead. Next there are the Prey Piles; which are what held me up the longest. Making it look like it was partially buried in the ground was difficult for me, but in the end, here it is half sunk into the earth. I also made another variant that isn't buried, because it wouldn't make a lot of sense with some of the flooring options. This, of course acts as a storage container. The last thing I did was I made some changes to the Tree Bark Calendar to make it look more like an old piece of rotting bark that a cat might easily pry off a fallen tree. And with that - here it is! It feels good to have fully finished all the goals I set for this mod, and to finally call it complete! I don't like starting projects and never finishing them, so I'm glad to put this on the list of projects that I saw through to the end. I could easily see myself adding to this mod in the future, but that remains to be seen. I would prefer to focus more on modding Scooter for now, but if I get the urge I might. Still; here it is complete, and is now up for downloading!

I want to download this, but the drive requires access. Is there anything you can do to fix this?
