Piggi's Sims has a whole bunch of recolours here http://www.piggis-sims.net/ (downloads, maxis recolours, hobbies), and over on MTS there are some fancy Steampunk recolours by Musiquefille, found here http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=307063.

I share your frustration, I was beginning to hate that blue colour myself

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

Fanseelamb at MTS has made drinkable Tru Blood, which comes in bottles and can be gotten from the fridge as well as the AL vending machine.

EDIT: there is also a version of Tru Blood right here on the forum, by sunni9676: http://www.insimenator.org/index.php/topic,106888.0.html

When building a house on a foundation, there are few things that bug me more than having to build an extra square of foundation to place the columns for a balcony on. Has anyone ever seen a column (maxis-match or otherwise) that has the height of a one-storey wall plus a foundation?
Now, I know it might not be possible to create a functional column in this way, but I have a hunch that technically it would function as a two-storey column. But I'd be happy with a purely decorative column as well. I'm rambling. Excuse me.
I'm really hoping someone can help me!
