I need some help finding some recolors for
Simlogical's/Inge's Auto Drapes. 

Mermaid Cove used to have a set of about 50 different colors for the drapes, however, it appears she has closed up shop.  I have searched at MTS2 and have found a couple of recolors by Alias and lots of recolors for the shades, but I'm needing more colors for the drapes themselves. 

My Google searches have also come up with very little results, and I'm hoping someone from here can help me out with some links to some recolors they've come across.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for everything guys and gals!  It's good to be home again. 

Here's the main site:

2157 Green Street

Just wanted to make sure if I was doing some deleting or not.  Thanks!

Please, can you tell me, do these overwrite the other ones or do they have a different guid?

Press CTRL, SHIFT, and C keys on your keyboard at the same time.  This should open your cheats area across the top of your screen.

Have fun!

Glad you're all enjoying them.


youzaihaiyang,

If you're asking if the mesh is included, the answer is no.  You will have to register and download them from here:

Reflexsims Forums

Sorry =(

I was hoping I'd find some already made ones and here they are.  Thank you!

This was a request from Lewisb40 here.

You will need to retrieve the meshes from the Reflexsims forums here:

Figaro Black

The link provided in the request thread was working for me but now it's not.  If you have trouble, try waiting a little while and try again.

The recolors come in two flavors.  One is a floral print and one was an attempt at something more masculine.  But...I'm liking it in the feminine setting.  :-P





~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes, I'd love to share what I've done at other sites.  Please don't take it for granted, if you would like to upload my items to other sites, ask me.  It may take a little while to get back to you, but you've got a 99.999% chance I'll do it.  Just don't take it and upload it without asking first.  That ain't cool.

Hmmm...  The code that was given appears to be the correct one as shown here:

MTS2...Game Help:Cheats

Do you have the University EP?  If not, that may be the problem.  The link I gave above also gives a link to an object that will allow you to use the cheat even if you don't have the EP.

Hope that helps.

This house was requested by: Farklemeister .  One thing I forgot to mention with my last upload…my bad!  I have all EPs through Seasons.  

House Specifics:

Cost: 132,706 Simoleans
Lot Size: 5X6
Baths: 4.5
Bedrooms: 4 Suites
Two Garages
Pool
Billiard Room
Laundry/Utility Room

The house is completely unfurnished and is not landscaped.  Therefore, it is merely a shell of a house with windows.  Time to let your imagination and your custom content take over!

Required Custom Content:

The windows & door items are required as they contribute strongly to the overall look of the house.

Included Custom Content:

ModTheSims2:   Tiggy027 Metro Windows Set.  Special thanks to Tiggy for making this very versatile set for free & for allowing it to be freely distributed with lots.  Thanks!

Auronette (me):  Putty Stucco with Faux Garage Doors.  Set includes 5 custom walls.

Auronette (me):  I've included another file in this thread.  It is a Photoshop file with layers for the Faux Garage Doors that I made.  Since many of you will want to use an alternate color than the one the house is downloaded with, I've given this file so that you can change the paint color on the Garage Door surrounding walls to match the color you need.  Feel free to redistribute this file with any houses which utilize the walls.  

Custom Content NOT Included but Required:

sims2graveyard.com[/URL] FORMER PAY Items from Sims2Luxe.  This site has now closed but the items are available for download from the graveyard.  The Graveyard site was down at the time of this documentation, however keep trying as it comes and goes.  You’ll need the following items:

Sims2Luxe Arch001, Arch 001 & Door 001 and recolor for arches and doors.

The Sims Resource: PAY ITEM Cyclonesue…Alpine Loft Window Set

MTS2: Invisible driveway and extension by:  roddyaleixo
REQUIRED...Invisible Driveway & Extensions

Known Issues:

The house was play tested for about 3 sim days, and the issues listed here are ones that are common with this type of housing design.  If you should happen to find any other problems that I did not, please post here so that I can fix and update the file.  Thanks!

As with all sideways driveways and extensions, the animations for the car leaving and entering the lot will be a bit jumpy.  The garage on the right side of the lot is a faked garage.  When I tested the lot, the cars were still able to come and go from the faked garage even though the doors did not actually exist on it.  

A couple of the walls in the kitchen area are diagonal and when I tested the lot I did have some Sims yelling about the angling of the countertops.  To avoid this you may want to make sure the fridge is directly next to one of the slots that are not diagonally placed.  This should prevent their incessant wailing. =D

The method used for linking the garage to the house is one that does leave the walls warped in places.  The Stucco paint I used was easily suited for camouflaging the areas, however, if you’re thinking it’s as fugly as I find it to be, you’ll undoubtedly wish to change it.  You may wish to try paints or wallpapers that are not strongly patterned or you may get some decorative plants large enough to cover these areas.

This house was requested by: RedRoseTea.  I saw it and I wanted it for myself so I decided to give it a shot.  This is the result of the attempt.  

House Specifics:

Lot size: 5x5
Cost: 297,000 Simoleans  (Unfurnished is 75,000)
Bedrooms: 4
Baths: 4.5

It comes in two versions:  

One is fully furnished with just about everything your sim needs for studying and having fun.  There is NO custom content actually included, but there are three custom items in the house.  The washer & dryer set, the recolor for the set (this one by me and included), and an invisible recolor for the driveway.  See the credits for links to these items as, again, they are NOT included in the download here.  Everything else is by Maxis.

The second version is completely empty.  For me, 99% of the fun is decorating the place yourself. Finding just the right look for you...  So I offer you the unfurnished version so that you can experience that joy yourself.  

Known Issues:

The house was play tested for about 3 sim days, and the issues listed here are ones that are common with this type of housing design.

As with all sideways driveways and extensions, the animations for the car leaving and entering the lot will be a bit jumpy.  The flowers I planted on the driveway gave me no trouble with the cars being used, however if you have trouble with your sims being able to leave the lot while using the car, try removing the flowers and see if that corrects it.

Due to the shear number of countertop surfaces and fridges, and the way sims loose their minds, you may want to check out Simlogical's "Eating and Serving Controller" located here: Eating & Serving Controller by Inge_Jones.  It is a mod that allows you to set which room the sim should eat in and at what time they should be using the room.  That way you can set the breakfast meal to be eaten in the nook in the kitchen and the dinner meal to be eaten in the formal dining area or even make it so that they will serve their barbequed meal on the porch out back.  I highly recommend this product and have never had any difficulties with it.

Since this is a home with very large bedrooms and these bedrooms have seating surfaces, you may find that your guests will invade your living spaces.  This activity irritates me, so I usually just set all the doors to "Allow Household Only."  You do need the Open for Business expansion to set the doors, or you can try one of the mods available at Simlogical for that as well.  Inge has several specialized doors that will allow for you to specify who is allows in the room and who is not.  Get them here:  Keyed Doors

Conversely, you may want to check out the folks at More Awesome than You...commonly referred to as Maty.  JM Pescado has another mod called "Authorized Personnel Only" which also allows you to control who enters a room.  Get it here:  Authorized Personnel Only  

These two mods will conflict with each other as they control the same behaviors, so make sure you read about them thoroughly before you decide which will work best for you.

A couple of the walls in the kitchen area are diagonal and I had to use some cheats to place counters along the walls.  Since the items overlap, there is some bleeding, but it doesn't seem too awful.  Especially at the angle I play at.  If it bothers you, try removing the offending counters and running the kitchen without the counters on those diagonal walls.  

The method used for linking the garage to the house is one that does leave the walls warped in places.  I have covered these warped areas with some creeping vines.  If you prefer not to have the vines, select another wall pattern that is less noticeable.

Recommended mods:

As mentioned above I highly recommend Simlogical's Eating & Serving Controller.

As far as the doors, I've used mods from both of these great modders and have had great results so, it'll be a matter of compatibility and preference for you.

Christianlov has put his/her All-in-One mod back up at Modthesims2.  Yay, yay and yay again! :-P This is one of the best mods I've ever tried and am so glad to see it is once again available for download.  This mod will allow you to have a 24 hour maid and or nanny.  With a home this big and with sims rich enough to afford them, you'll want to have them to deal with all the messes.  There is even a capability for them to handle broken items and do the gardening. Get it here:  All-In-One NPC by Christianlov Please be aware that at the writing of this read me file, Christianlov has marked the file to be "unsupported."

Thanks BBB for the sticky and for referencing it in your post.  

PiperK,

If you check out BeosboxBoy's thread What is SecuROM? it lists a removal method for you to try.  I myself had my computer tech do a complete reformat, but I wanted to be absolutely sure the thing was gone.  The choice is up to you.  

Good luck!

This is absolutely stunning!  Thanks!

Unfortunately, steamover is the only thing that happens during woohoo when using the sauna.  To woohoo, try clicking on the bench itself and not on the sims.
