The yachts was the first picture I thought of doing something with - it's an image from one of those phone picture games I was idly playing to pass some time a little while ago while waiting for an appointment.  I thought when I finished the puzzle: 'you know, that's a pretty nice image.  Looks like a nice watercolour.'  So I used that image and then decided to make a small set of it - the pictures are unrelated but are ones I have collected in recent months that I liked.

There are six paintings in all; two for each painting ('cos I'm a bit tired of having recolours for just the blue one).  They are, from r-l, top-bottom: Sweet Peas; Sea Yachts; Sun on Landscape then Wild Women; Lily Pads and Lake Eyre Coastline.

So my prompt was My Way or the Highway – a tricky one and I finally gave up on trying an imaginative metaphorical interpretation and went for a literal one instead.  I decided to add something to my attempt to ‘British-ise my game’, in this case: British Road Signs.  I have only made six here but made a new CC mesh for the sign itself.  It’s alpha-channel controlled head means you can make different shaped signs for it.  So we have British road signs for: Give Way (Yield, I think, for American drivers.  This is probably the most common sign on British roads), Stop, Crossing, School, Traffic Lights and No Entry.  There are more to come.  They can be found in Misc>Misc and cost $70. 286 polys.  They are visible from space (or the neighbourhood and other lots).

The new mesh was the ‘My Way’ part of the project as it's available on lots, the ‘Highway’ bit was that I also made a version of the mesh for a neighbourhood version of the signs but have not mapped this mesh yet.  There was also supposed to be a new set of road tiles too but, as I said, this is going to have to be a work in progress.  If you are interested in the set, keep an eye on the thread at tflc (my site) as I will update once I get stuff done.

My prompt was Shadow From the Past which made me think about past events and their effect on the present and future.  Old sins have long shadows...  However, that's a hard thing to mesh or retexture so I started thinking about the passing of time and ... timepieces.  I thought about wandering through a beautiful garden and finding a sundial marking the hours passing through the day.  So that's what I did.

First of all, I did some work on the garden sundial by SimArchitect over at MTS.  This was originally posted in 2008 and is a nice mesh though the textures are not so ... modern.  To be fair, it was made in the days when we didn't have such high quality video cards and screens and nobody then noticed the fuzzy textures quite so much.  


.jpg   SundialGarden.jpg (Size: 304.66 KB / Downloads: 4962)

I did quite a bit of work on the mesh.  It was originally based on the giant knight statue (from OFB) and the textures for that are quite complicated AND there are four main textures in the original package which SimArchitect replaced with his own all still in one package.  So, I removed some unnecessary LIFO textures (which are huge) and thus dropped the file size considerably, adjusted the bounding mesh and, more involved, added a new recolourable subset so the gnomon texture can be changed in game and recoloured as well as the face of the sundial.  I also adjusted the price, making it a bit cheaper and changed the way the value drops after purchase.  I left the original base texture in place but extracted the original recolours (because, to be honest, I don't really want to keep them myself).  So I include here, a new version of the mesh file, the three original recolours (called now RC1, RC2 and RC3) and added three more recolours of the face of my own and also now, four recolours of the gnomon.

I was inspired by MogHughson's postal system mod (here) to upload my first CC to MTS back in the day - I eventually made nine sets of cards.  The mod itself is quite old now but is still very much a goody and I'm still using it.  It's a great little addition to gameplay.  So I thought I'd upload all these files even though they're quite old now.  Go over to Mog's thread to understand how to use the mod and download the needed base object for the card system.  My files are below and then I've included, at the bottom of the page, pictures from the upload threads so you can see what you like and what you don't.

I made cards for: 
  • Bereavement 4
  • Birthday 13
  • Christmas 22
  • Engagement 1
  • Friendship 6
  • Get Well Soon 1
  • Graduation 4
  • Retirement 4
  • Valentine 1
  • Wedding Anniversary 6
  • Wedding 12
Most of the files have self-explanatory names but the first two uploads I made were mixed collections consisting of some Christmas cards and other cards.  If you have a look at the pictures, I've noted which zip/rar files belong to the collections.  

So, these are various card sets for use with Moghughson's Postal System Mod with which your sims can bother their friends in your neighbourhood. Sims will receive a small positive boost to their friendship levels when they read the card.  I claim no particular artistic talent for these - the images came off the net. I fiddled about a bit and there is some creative input on my part (it's fun, what can I say?) but let's not overstate things, eh?

Each card has its own verse but be warned: I'm English, I don't do sentimental so they're not squishy and sweet but tart.

You will need the postal system by MogHughson which you can find here. That thread also contains all information about how to use these cards. You can even make your own cards for yourself with different categories.

I was making - a few months back now - a pet bed for the Pets Theme at MTS and, well, life got in the way. I'm still not finished but I wanted my pet theme sticker so I thought I'd post these which are some recolours for the Comfy Pillow Pet Bed that came with Pets. My new pet bed is slaved to the Comfy Pet Pillow and I was going to release them together. But nevermind - look out for that coming.

There are two sets of recolours
  • a plain set - blue-green, light green, pale blue, pink, yellow, orange, dark gray, plum cord, red (dark pink really). I wanted some alternatives to the bright (and sometimes garish) original colours

I was in the MTS TS2 forums a while back swapping ideas about favourite picture sources when Amura mentioned Luiza Vizoli. Lovely art. I wanted to make something for the seasons theme and I whipped up a long narrow picture mesh to take four lovely paintings by Luiza Vizola called Seasons which can be seen here.


.jpg   VizoliPaintings.jpg (Size: 207.52 KB / Downloads: 872)

These are gorgeous paintings and Vizoli seems to be fond of making triptychs, quadritychs and more - so the picture shows how the paintings are ideally displayed - going winter, spring, summer and fall - though each one is lovely on its own.

This was my contribution to the Maternity and Beyond theme at MTS. It's a set of 10 recolours of the painting Albert's Discordia which came with Apartment Life. It is found in Decorative>Wall Hangings and is priced at $1400.


.jpg   PetitCollagePosters.jpg (Size: 280.44 KB / Downloads: 945)

The images are from a website called Petit Collage which is a company which makes delightful wooden toys and decorations for babies, toddlers and children. These images were from their 0-2 years range of wooden pictures for nursery walls - though the company no longer sells them. The images are so cute though.

The pictures are in two groups. The first has a theme of transport with trains, planes and boats etc.

The second has the theme of natural world (though how natural a mermaid is is debatable).

So this is part three of a set of things for my Arcady Ice Cream Parlour. I made these so that there are some useful recolours of objects which might fit a shop selling my ice creams. There are four sets of recolours here. Please read down the page for information about required meshes and items included.  The other parts of the set can be found here:


.jpg   ArcadyIcesEntranceAwning.jpg (Size: 159.77 KB / Downloads: 1150)

Awnings
I have created a set of four awning recolours matching the wallpapers for my Arcady Ice Cream Parlour. These are recolours of Windkeeper's Awning Superset which can be found here. You must have the original meshes from Windkeeper to use these recolours. It's TSR unfortunately.

Pictures
I have created a set of four recolours of Shoukeir's Painting 36 which can be found here. I have included the base mesh with the recolours here so you don't need to go to Shoukeir's archive to get it but the set of recolours for that painting are very nice and you might like to have them.


.jpg   IceCreamParlourPaintings.jpg (Size: 57.95 KB / Downloads: 1164)

Shop Signs
There are two recolours of the plain OFB shop signs to match the paintings and bucket design of my ice creams (the wording colour is picked up).

Bistro Table and Chairs
To be honest, I am not sure about these recolurs. I, personally, don't think the design gells well with the rest of the set but I finally decided to include them in this upload because, in a technical sense, the recolours came out well. It was a new technique/process to me for recolouring and I like the design - I just don't think they quite fit. But you might like them anyway. Maybe I'll make myself some nice plain recolours instead.

Additional Credits:
Windkeeper and Shoukeir for the meshes of course. Most of the images and textures were created by me but I got the textures for the tables and chairs off the net and then messed around with them in Paintshop Pro.

I wanted to contribute something to the Performing Arts theme at MTS, so I went back to some lovely images I had collected a while back and made them into some recolours for the in-game Nightlife Pineapple Posters (I've made quite a few of these now!).


.jpg   Ballet.jpg (Size: 80.08 KB / Downloads: 907)

Please note - recolours of the Pineapple poster need the CEP and you will need to have Nightlife - the Pineapple poster came with that EP and was not originally recolourable.

The Pineapple poster costs $850 and is found in Decorative>Wall Hangings

There are six posters: two for dance; two for music and two for theatre.

The images used are from the following brilliant creators:

Ballerinas - are from one of my favourite commercial graphic artists Eleanor Grosch. I don't quite know why I love her work so much but it really speaks to me. I think these two ballerinas are very pretty,

Piano and Violin - are from The 1Gallery. I love that random, rainbow colours silhouette effect.

Theatre Masks - the regular theatre mask image is also from 1Gallery (as above) and that looser intriguing, emotional and stylish interpretation of the comedy-tragedy theatre masks is from Marion Bolognesi.

All worth your time to go and have a look at their sites - some lovely images there. I recommend strongly.

I hadn't planned on making any more poster recolours for the Pineapple mesh(es) - well at least just yet. But then I read about these lovely poster designs and saw the pictures and, well, I got waylaid on the way to doing something else.


.jpg   ExtinctPostersOffice.jpg (Size: 118.04 KB / Downloads: 923)

They are from the travel firm Expedia who commissioned the art works from Matt Lindley, a London-based marketeer. This is from a short article about that project which can be seen here

Quote:When travelling in New Zealand, Matt Lindley started thinking about the flightless moa bird, which was endemic there until it became extinct around 1300AD. This gave him the idea for the series Unknown Tourism (link to the expedia site given above), which commemorates lost wildlife with vintage-style posters inspired by 30s to 50s air travel ads. The project, commissioned by the travel site Expedia UK and illustrated by Jon Barmby, includes the dodo as well as bringing to light the unfamiliar galliwasp. “Hopefully these posters are a fun, visual way to convey that information to a lot of people,” says Lindley. “We felt many of these animals weren’t getting the attention they deserved, so this was a way of paying tribute to them.”

There are six lovely graphics about extinct animals in six countries: Alaska; Jamaica; Mauritius; Costa Rica; New Zealand and Tasmania (well, strictly a mix of countries and states). I set the graphics on the Pineapple poster mesh from Nightlife and Simlished them. So you will need Nightlife and the CEP in order to see them.

I've made lots of posters with vintage style images and in my internet travels found these pussy cats running around unattached to our sims. I thought I'd better fix that.


.jpg   HallCat.jpg (Size: 153.54 KB / Downloads: 1055)

As before, I used the Nightlife Pineapple poster to make recolours. There are twelve in total. However, it's not quite that straightforward. Five of the images are quite long and narrow and I thought they'd look better on a narrower mesh. As I wanted them to make a set, I made a new mesh based on the Pineapple poster but slimmer and more elegant. Hence there are three files attached to this post - I separated things out so you could choose what versions you'd prefer to download.  Please note - recolours of the Pineapple poster need the CEP and NL.
  • Pineapple recolours - these are the seven more regularly shaped images on the Pineapple mesh (so appear as recolours). They are the pictures by El Gato Gomez, Grosch, Munn and Mibus
  • Narrow Pineapple Mesh - new mesh - with recolours - five images in total by Moldonado and Beary
  • Pineapple recolours of the narrower images (five), on the standard mesh not on the narrow mesh (Moldonado and Beary)

.jpg   NarrowCats.jpg (Size: 123.52 KB / Downloads: 972)

So, you can download the straight Pineapple recolours and have a very nice set of seven cat images with which to decorate your sims homes. You can add a further five cat images to that by either downloading my new narrower Pineapple mesh or, if you prefer not to add yet another new mesh to your game (and I understand that, believe me), you can have the alternative version of those slimmer pictures on the standard Pineapple mesh. I hope that's clear. It's envisaged that you'd have either the narrow mesh and its recolours or the alternative setting on the standard mesh.

Please see the swatch pictures to match names to images - the files are named accordingly.  The new mesh was cloned from the Pineapple poster and I didn't change the catalogue settings - so it is the same price and in Wall Hangings.

The images are not original vintage cat images but modern interpretations of that style. I have used some advertising images from several artists who produce this type of material (and I think you would agree they are very lovely). The artists are as follows and I have provided links so you can go and have a look at their online pages/sites for yourself:

These are in a more traditional (Turkish or Oriental) style than my previous recolours for this mesh. The images came from around the web but, as before, I also got a lot of good quality images from the John Lewis website.  See this thread for copies of the mesh files.

So why a more traditional style? Well, there are plenty of rug recolours around in this style but I wanted to get some not just on Nengi's rug meshes but on Huge Lunatic's larger room-sized versions of the mesh which are slaved to Nengi's mesh. You can find Huge Lunatic's larger meshes here. Because, after all, if you are building stately homes, you need big Oriental-style room-sized carpets. Well you do, don't you?

There are 24 recolours in total (I couldn't choose and whittle them down further). I thought this was perhaps a bit much for most people so I have divided the files into four collections of six rugs apiece (see pictures). That way, you can choose the collection you like best and download that.

Here are some more recolours for Nengi65’s great rug mesh (lots and lots: 18 recolours in all)! This is my third set of rug recolours using textures taken from the John Lewis site (though I’ve had to do some work with them to make them work with the mesh properly). Why so many collections based on the rugs there? Every time I go back to the site, I find another rug I really like. Sometimes I think I’d like to carpet my entire house with John Lewis rugs (expensive!!!) – they make some gorgeous rugs. But being able to carpet a sims house with these rugs is the next best thing and I so hope you like them too.

Additionally, if you download these additional slave meshes from Huge Lunatic you can also have these lovely rugs in full room sizes too.  See this thread for copies of the mesh files.

I have stuck the files in one (large) zip. I have named them all carefully and also the pictures on this page. If there are any rugs you don’t want, you should be able to delete the relevant files easily.

More recolours for Nengi65’s great rug mesh! These textures are taken from interesting things I’ve found on the web or that have been sent to me and that I have adapted for the mesh. They are mostly geometric in style: spots; stripes; circles; squares, though there is one nice oriental flower graphic too.

These are six recolours for the 3x4 master rug from Nengi65's Rug Collection (the recolours will show on all other rugs from the collection as they are slaves to the 3x4 master rug).

This is a set of recolours for Nengi65's Rug Collection with the textures taken from John Lewis's site - they have some really good quality pictures of their wares on their site which translate very well into nicely detailed textures for the game.  Unfortunately, the original meshes for these rugs are no longer available.  BUT..... See this thread for my version of the meshes and information about where you might find expansions on the meshes and, possibly, the original files.
