Sculpting In Ice
I wanted a set of all possible sculptures in ice and the topiary and metal sculptures too.
I ended up using a sculpting mod available at MTS to get the final 5 sculptures as I was tired of the endless repetition of already found sculptures.
The mod enabled my 8 sims to find all but one sculpture and make it in ice that won't melt. They did it in an afternoon (real life afternoon). The one sculpture they haven't found yet is Sleeping Gnome McNulty.
I spent about a week (real life) trying to do this without mods. I got lots of sculptures to keep but was still 5 short of having them all.
I placed all of the sculptures in a single room and lit them. Some additional sculptures (duplicates of what's indoors) I placed outside. Here are the pictures.
Some leftovers (extras) stashed outdoors just after the sun went down.

When I'd finished making the sculptures a few of the sims started doing their own thing and one of them made the fountain in wood. I think this is the only instance I have of it in wood. I have hundreds of versions of it in ice.

This fountain is one of the two items they can make but they have to do them autonomously as they don't appear in any list.
The other item they make autonomously is the magic gnome of sculpting. This group never made it. But I do have lots of them from my previous groups. Only this group used the sculpting mod.
I haven't let them sculpt for real life days though. Not all of them know all of the sculptures. They will continue learning as they continue to sculpt. But I think I've got enough for now.
Here are a few indoor shots. I've got the glass gnomes from the store indoors too - as they haven't found Sleeping Gnome McNulty yet. I'll probably have to go on without that one.
The good thing about this activity is now I have a group of 8 sims who can make all (but one) of the sculptures I don't need to have the mod in my game as I plan to use this group as a resource to make whatever I want.
I also have huge numbers of most of the sculptures saved in a few other games. I'll gather them all together later and place that lot in my library to be used as a resource for when I need sculptures. Unfortunately it isn't complete as there are 5 sculptures I didn't find without the assistance of the mod.
Here are the indoor shots - I'll continue to play around with lighting and include other objects when I get into a real game with this lot.

When I finally get my new computer set up I'll be making a new series of videos on the McFluff story. I wanted these sculptures available for that story and videos.
