Nooo I am not dead. I was sick for awhile and got distracted. Here we are, my first usable object set... kind of. This has a table, a stool, and a dining chair... along with a decorative projector and clipboard with various recolors. Nothing major, just my first sort of test to see how to make things usable. All are cloned from basegame objects and should work for anything. Yeehaw!


Enjoy!

Been awhile. Here is a small decor set of three (and a half) items from the junkyard at Eli's lab. First we have the Beware of Dog sign, then the deactivated Rollermine used as a ball, and the old junky HEV plate. One version of the plate is a sculpture and lies flat on a surface, and the other hangs up on a wall.


This set requires Pets, the Dog sign is cloned from a sign from there. The Rollermine and Hev Plate sculpture are cloned from the Bowl of Fruit. The wall HEV plate is cloned from a basegame poster.

Enjoy!

I absolutely love aikea's half height wall overlay mesh! Here is a set of overlays from Left4Dead, consisting mostly of signs. This does not include the graffiti seen in safe rooms, since that will be a set all its own. But nonetheless, it may be useful to many people in their decorating.

My favorite are the X-rays and health posters.

Remember to download the mesh to make this work!

Here are some more L4D based overlays, taken from the Signs category. This includes the CEDA notices seen on walls, and some really nifty ads!


Again you'll need this mesh to make it work. Have fun spreading fear through contamination warning posters!

Hello! Something simple today since I was busy helping adopt two new kitties. These are the 'posters' seen in the loading screen for Left4Dead! They are taken from the game files and look badass on your walls. They are recolors of the 'Grilled Cheese' two-panel posters. Amazing clarity on them.


I will make the L4D2 posters as well, though I have yet to figure out how to rip the files from that since they never did make it compatible like they said they would...

My very, very first new-mesh object. This is an import from Half-Life 2, the photograph of Eli, Azian, and little Alyx seen in Black Mesa East (AKA Eli's lab). It is cloned from the Frutibowl sculpture and so is designed to sit on a table or desk. The back of the object isn't rendered well, but it is the same way in-game since you have no way of seeing it from that angle (without cheating!).


You may recolor this, and if you want, edit the mesh freely. I'd just like some credit for importing it, since it was hard work for me. Enjoy it! Expect more odds and ends, now, in themed sets, to show up from the Valve games. 

Hello! Last of my art stuff, this is a massive pack of HL2 artwork. All of it is cloned off basegame paintings, so take a peek through after you install it and see what surprises await you. Also included is a ton of concept artwork, so you don't JUST have the same art over and over again from the retail version. Neat, right?

Hello. Here are the promised posters and some other artwork from Aperture Science! This includes very recent art released with the announcement of Portal 2 (which sounds like a nightmare, but I'll keep my fingers crossed.) and other fun things.

HELLO and welcome again to Aperture Science. Since you're trapped, why not decorate the walls while you're here? These are recolors of Aikea's little 'shiftable' overlay mesh, though don't ask me how to shift them, since I have no freaking idea. BUT. Nonetheless, these are the various wall scribblings and dark stains found within Aperture's darker corners.


This shot is to show the actual detail, since it looks so small in-game. But it's still legible! Score! Though this doesn't include the mesh, you can find it by looking here! Just download that first, plop these in second, and you too will have graffiti all over the place.


Enjoy!

Hello there! Here are two recolors of the awesome Headcrab Accessory by The_French_Sim. I used the Beta version of the headcrab for one skin, and a 'cleaned texture' for the other. So no you can have ultra bloody headcrabs or squeaky clean ones.


Here you can see them in better detail. It should be obvious which one is the 'clean' version... I hope. In order to make this work you must download the mesh by The_French_Sim at Insimenator, just click here!

"The Citizens were originally to include children, to be seen working in the Cremator Factory in the Combine Factories area and as corpses in Ravenholm. Indeed, children are not present in Half-Life 2 and its episodes, which was canonically explained with the Suppression Field."
This is an outfit based on the cut Child Worker model from the Half Life 2 Beta. They wear the green, drab uniform that many other citizens in the beta wear. This uniform is unisex and requires Freetime.

This image compares my uniform with the HL2 Beta Female Child Worker model. While the meshes are very different, I like to think mine looks closer to what a 'finished' version would have looked like. Why would the Combine worry about making clothes in child size? Roll up the sleeves and get to work. Also the same idea about the shoes; adult shoes would cause tripping. So send them to work barefoot.

"The Combine Assassin, also known as Female Assassin or simply Assassin, is a transhuman enemy cut from Half-Life 2, the successor of Half-Life’s female assassin and a predecessor of the Overwatch Elite, who inherited her helmet."
It's not a secret among people who know me that I love love love the Combine Assassin in HL2's Beta. Though most people call her over-rated, I love her movements. Too bad she's a bitch when you're actually fighting her. Yeesh! Tough love.



Anyway, this is her outfit (I cannot make a helmet. No meshing abilities. WAH.) just without her heel-springs. Fun trivia: Chell originally had no heel springs. They were first to be seen on the Female Assassins, but when player testers for Portal complained it seemed unrealistic for Chell to survive long falls, they rescued the concept.

Read more about my most-favorite cut enemy ever.

This is a base-game mesh, and so will work well for anything.

Hello. This is Alyx's outfit from Half-Life 2. Her outfit was fun to make, especially with her Black Mesa shirt underneath the coat. Unfortunately she requires H&M Fashion Stuff, and I suppose you could get the mesh from the Sims Store. But if anyone wants to, since I'm unable, make a mesh and I'll toss over the texture.


I'm just proud I remembered the duct-tape on the shoulder. And if you want the Sim pictured, head over to the page on the Exchange for a download.

The backstabbing triple agent herself, Mossman, wears this outfit (unless freezing her buns off at the unknown Arctic Base.) It's a sweater and pants combo, with a nice gold bracelet that reads 'PROGRESS'. Don't you feel all warm and fuzzy inside? I rather hate her, but now I can torture her ceaselessly for her sins.
She unfortunately seems to require H&M Fashion Stuff, but the mesh was SO PERFECT. I think you could buy it from the Sims Store if you were really desperate.



And remember, if you want Judith, she's on my Sims Exchange page.
