It's completely typical of a simmer isn't it to be intending to make something else entirely and then end up with a set of street name signs? I was doing some more work on shop signs, following up some ideas I had from doing the Victorian Shop Facade recolours, when I was distracted (sigh) by a sudden idea that I needed road signs for Little Carping. So here they are - I actually made about 40 but I've selected 18 plus a 'Way Out' sign (based on a British Rail Way Out sign because who doesn't want one of those?) for upload.
I made them on AikeaGuinea's height adjustable wall painting which is shiftable so you can have them at a variety of heights on a wall (mesh included though it's a very common and useful piece of CC so you might have it already). They are in simlish but the basic texture is based on a real British street sign. You'd need to use moveobjects on to place it over other things also hung on walls. The picture is found in Decorative>Wall Hangings and costs $45. I also designed the texture so they'd sit on my exterior Victorian Pub Tile walls.
The names are as follows (l-r, top to bottom):
High Street; Station Road; Oak Avenue; Wood Lane; Sparrow Street; Lancaster Gate; School Lane; Market Street; Beech Road; Nonsuch Place (spelt with an 'e' but whatever); Beaumont Square; Church Lane; Richmond Road; Bridge Street; Park Avenue; Lark Rise; Lime Grove; Buckingham Road plus the Way Out there to the right.
The selection I made was based on what I thought the most common or generic-type names were - Little Carping has themes for it's neighbourhood roads including (British) trees, birds and vaguely aristocratic names, hence some of the names. I'm going to add flower names next. Incidentally, I included Sparrow Street because, although it's not common, it's my favourite road name in Little Carping (it's actually in Carping Magna - the shopping district). I could write an entire book about Sparrow Street...
I do sometimes wonder if I'm the only simmer that is bothered by this stuff. I suspect no-one else has missed street name signs.
