Redneck Stuff

[SimsFan_1]

One of the things I've always loved to do is turn the premade Hick family from the game into more "authentic" trailer trash, lol.😋  I don't know if anyone else does it, but here's a list of items you can use to do it...

___________________________________________________________________________

First, you need to make their trailer look like an actual trailer.  And, luckily, I have a nice trailer build set:

However, most of the furniture included with my set is too "clean" for a redneck family, so here's some suggestions for decor.  If you don't mind using deco only stuff, then SpaceCadet's Wasteland Living and Grunge Collection sets have some great pieces:

Olena also has a wonderful grunge/trashy furniture set:

And, this really great grungy bathroom:

If you wanna have a little more of a Maxis-style look, I recommend Madoria's Numica Kitchen matches for that dowdy never-updated trailer kitchen:

Along with her Cheap Pine matches and Mirrored Sims' Recycled Living matches for the living room:

Check out my Cozy Plaid sets if you want a more 70s-looking version of the Recycled Living set (plus matching curtains):

7DS and 8DS also have plenty of nice trashy decor that I use all the time for redneck builds:

Now, let's do the outside decor.  Like any good redneck man, Elden Hick loves him some guns, so you will need some hunting sets.  Simtonic has a fantastic shooting range set:

And, a crossbow set:

And, a deer-hunting set:

And, a little gun rack that Elden can hang up in his bedroom:

And, there's Simnut1's "Reloader" set:

While Elden's out playing with his guns, Mama wants to throw a yard sale.  Aponee has her covered:

Now, how about some vehicles?  Elden also loves to work on cars, which means his yard is full of abandoned and rusting cars, lol.  Space Cadet has plenty of those here and here:

(As a bonus, check out this set if you want to build the place where Elden works.)

What about Elden's daily driver?  Space Cadet also has a 1966 Chevy and a 1981 GMC that he'd probably like:

And, of course, Elden also has a General Lee replica sitting in his yard:

Now, for the final touch... if you want some alternate outfits for Mama and Elden (or you wanna create Elden a girlfriend, lol), Sim Freaks has a nice set of redneck skins.

Hope this list was helpful!  I know it's kind of an odd theme, but it's always a fun one for me.😋  I'll add onto this list if I see anything else.

According to his bio Elden loves classical music.


Also, I was thinking of making a sim that lives at a dump so this will be perfect.

That's odd, lol!😄  I rarely read those bios, tbh.

Glad I could help!  I actually really love scavenger-hunting for these themes.

This is really cool, the skins and sets look like something out of a hillbilly horror movie😂 But seriously, it’s cool and original to have a Sims set of something working class people would have instead of fancy stuff, it’s unusual and interesting

Glad you liked it!👍  As I said, this has always been a fun theme for me to build.
