IKEA stuff is need yeah, Joy.

Thanks for the comments everybody.

Here I have recoloured both the HEMNES dressers that came with Ikea home stuff pack so that all the colours are now available on both.



Now you can have furniture that actually matches.

Please don't upload elsewhere unless it is as part of a lot upload to a FREE site. Then all I ask is that you link back here please.

Hello!
I was miffed that EA/Maxis decided not to make all of the EKTORP seating in the same colours so I recoloured the EKTORP armchair and loveseat in the sofa colours that were missing.
The colours I've done are white, beige and striped.



Now you can have fully matching livingrooms that are properly co-ordinated.

Known Issue: If you don't or can't play your game with maximum texture detail then the striped recolour may look blocky and blurry. I've tried my best to eliminate the problem but SimPE seems to compress the image just a bit too much on reimport even when using the 'Build DXT' option. This doesn't effect the plain recolours though.

I hope you enjoy them in game. IKEA stuff is required for these to show.

Please don't upload elsewhere unless you include them with an uploaded lot to a FREE site. Then just link back here please.

I might have to start one of these again. The site I host my current pictures at has decided to delete some and I don't have backups plus I've sort of lost interest in my current Fuglies, which I do play like any other Sim family.

DraculaBiscuits, do I want to know how you managed to deform his face so much? I'm surprised the game managed to get rid of it. Some of them turned out pretty good though.

I'm sorry to have to post again but it seems that the problem is still present in the updated version. I still have Sims who own the Yomoshoto that cannot leave the driveway. I haven't tried with the other cars again yet.

Cheers for the update.

Pointless if you use CEP as this is fixed in the latest version

I recently discovered that the textures on the university espresso machine do not change as they should when compared to the matching counter island.

As with the matching counters, and indeed all counters, the front of the countertop edge should change texture when you pick a countertop texture. Instead, on the espresso machine this changes when a base texture is chosen. This happened because it was meshed wrong.

Basically speaking you are very limited with which countertops and bottoms match successfully.

With this fix the mapping works as it should.

See pictures below for before and after.

I noticed a few days ago that there was a gender typo in one of the Education career chance cards from Seasons.
When I went to fix it I found there were quite a few within the Education chance cards and so I fixed them all.

As the nature of chance cards is random I have not been able to take any screenshots of the changes but they should work.

Here's a recolour of the Centrifun Roundabout from Apartment Life that I made to fit in with a park I have built in my game. I used the climbing tower wood texture as a base so it shouldn't look out of place if you use them together.

Great! Now I can have coat racks that will fit into houses not using the country furniture. (Which is most of them.)

I'm not sure but I may have discovered a problem with this.
I've only had a Sim with a garage use his car once since installing this but when he returned home from work he couldn't leave the driveway. The door he was aiming for (the only one) was on the opposite side of the garage and he kept complaining that the car was in the way. I told him to perform yoga to see if he would walk away from the car but he just changed clothes and continued to stand there. He started complaining again after I told him to go somewhere again, even within the garage.
I'll report back again if needed when I've played some more.

I have created these walls to fill a gap left by MAXIS/EA in the Celebration Stuff pack although Celebration isn't required to use them.

If you read catalogue descriptions then you may be aware that the existing 'The Regal Column Wall Décor' makes reference to the 'Regal Arch Wall Décor' that doesn't seem to exist in the game.

Thats where this download comes in. I have taken the existing Column Décor and used it as a base to create versions which include an arch in the design.

Below you can see them stood against their column counterparts to demonstrate how they match up;

The other links are individual pictures.

They cost 2 simoleons each which is 1 simoleon more than the plain column version and have their own description (even if its very similar to that of the column version).

I hope you find them useful in your game and that your Sims enjoy them.

Sims have been known to lecture babies for soiling themselves. Bit stupid if you ask me.

Hello Squinge! Great to have you back.
Would it be at all possible to make it so that non playable Sims can use the BV massage table and OfB makeover station (withouth actually changing appearance) on regular non-owned community lots?

I have a barbers set up with massage tables in the back. They all get NPC sims to man them but no visiting Sims ever use them. They arrive on the lot, attempt to show interest in the makeover stations but give up after having a buy bar appear over their heads and then disappear and just spend the rest of the time chatting. They never pay any attention to the massage tables at all.

It would be great for the lot to be functional without having to have a Sim own it.

The only problem I can see with that would be that the Sim animation would still make them reach into a, now non-existent, medicine cabinet.
