Look at what I made and om nom nom it! (Post your creations pt. 2)

[pinkyfriend]

I like having all the option for appliances, but it doesn't break my heart if they don't. If I like them I will dl anyway.

Off topic, would anyone else be interested in stairs with lattice for underneath/railing?  I've seen some aorund my neighborhood and I could make them recolourable and repository easily enough.

If you made them for the Numenor's 'recolourable wooden modular stairs' I will love you forever  (so the answer is yes)

[SoggyFox]

That is what I was planning on using as a base - since then they would also match my open wooden stairs and the lattice I've already made as well   It might be a few weeks longer, since I go in for [hopefully] my last surgery thursday.  I do get another plate and a bone graft this time, but with luck [and the sheer amount of antibiotics] I should be good this time, but it might take a little time before I'm off of pain killers enough to focus.

Another vote here for all EP options.  I'm really looking forward to this set!

[dstar]

Moune those are so pretty and I will definitely download since I have the rest of your Bayou sets already in game - even if they don't have the EP options since the only ones my sims use are the put away leftover option (none of this gen of Goths have a culinary hobby and no one runs a business either)

[Moune]

Thanks for all this response. It is really helpful - also for future references. 

Somebody just showed me how to make and all-EP fridge that is still basegame compatible - like Buggybooz's fridge - so I'll see if I can work out how to do that.

The stove will just be a regular. The 'make many' options that some people use are added automatically by the game, if you have OfB installed.

As for the dishwasher and trash compactor:
Let me put it like this: It would take me about an hour to put together two new EP version packages, test them, zip them, upload them etc. If I had all the time in the world I wouldn't mind doing that, even though maybe only ten people would ever use those packages. But I don't really have all the time in the world these days, so I'd like to know if those EP versions are important or if I shouldn't bother with them. Besides, I've wondered about this before - especially the OfB stuff - and it's nice to finally know. Also for any future stuff I might make.

Rissa, you have me perplexed. There are Seasons options for the trash compactor? I've never discovered those. I guess that shows you how creative my game playing is. 

In any case, I'm leaning towards making a Freetime version of the dishwasher and trash compactor. Not because somebody elsewhere told me I was lazy if I didn't do it  , but because there seems to be a certain amount of people who would use the tinkering option. And I think that would automatically include the Seasons stuff in the trash compactor.

[pickles]

The Seasons option is "Compost Contents" where your sim carries the trash out to the compost barrel. If the compactor doesn't have the option you can also have your sim take out the garbage, cancel as soon as they're holding the bag, and then have them compost the pile o' trash.


For what it's worth I use the "Make Many" from the fridge and store the food in the sim's inventory for use with Food Eats YOU!, and the stove I don't care as much.

[Moune]

Actually, I've just learned that it's possible to make Freetime/Seasons dishwashers and trashcompactors that are still basegame compatible. It's relatively quick and easy, so I'll do that, and everybody should be happy.

It wasn't entirely painless to find out about this, though. If any of you are a little low on drama, here's a small and probably boring hickup for you.

yay!! I am so happy you are adding to that set I use the rest so much too!

 So many times I download a kitchen set I usually trash the appliance because they are not all ep compatible, I just use recolors  of in game stuff from piggi's to fill in my kitchen, so it will be very nice to have a pretty custom set <3

[dietofworms]

Mini-drama indeed.  WTF is her problem?

Moune, I love the Bayou set.  My game is BFBVS, but I'll download it anyway.

[calalily]

Don't be so lazy Moune. Such a lazy bones - it takes a minute, but it's you who's lazy. I don't see why you can't email it to me too - I shouldn't have to click buttons.  *Tch* so lazy.

Also, if I was ever going to make a fridge, I intend to be as fucking lazy as it suits me. OCD peeps can fix it if it's important.

[BlueSoup]

I didn't fucking call her lazy - I said it would be lazy to not do it when she's got the resources and information, and the EP, to do it.

Why ask for opinions if you don't much care for the answers? 

Edit: If she wants to make the set base-game compatible, fine.  I can't fault her for that.  But she asked the question, so she must actually want to know the answers.

No, just implied that if she didn't do it, she was lazy. She asked for opinions on what people wanted - not what they thought of her character if she didn't do it the way they wanted.

[BlueSoup]

I personally don't give a damn how she does it - I won't be downloading it myself.  But I think it's ridiculous to not make it compatible for the latest EP when you're going through all the trouble of asking multiple communities which options she should include, especially considering she has the EP!

[SoggyFox]

Well, I for one don't mind adjusting anything for my EPs - the texture and mesh would be already done, and making an all EP version is as simple as cloning and replacing.

[Moune]

Cala, I’d be most happy to email everything to you. Do you want me to unzip it and install it all in your DL folder – in the proper subfolders of course – and serve you coffee at the same time? 

DoW, I’m at a loss. What does BFBVS mean? I’ve seen it before, but I haven’t been able to figure out the letters. 

... I said it would be lazy to not do it when she's got the resources and information, and the EP, to do it.

The resources and information which I didn’t have when you made the ‘lazy’ remark. But, of course, to see that one would have to have read and understood all the posts I’d already made, and obviously you didn’t find it necessary to do that before rolling out the rudeness. Talk about laziness.

You know, I’m beginning to think that you are either plain dumb or can’t read.

I stated in a rather early post over at Black Pearl that I would do three versions of the fridge. This was before I knew it could be done the easy way with Lord Darcy’s updater.

Then I said in a post here that I would do Freetime versions of the dishwasher and trash compactor. This was also before I knew it could be done the easy way with Lord Darcy’s updater.

What is ridiculous is that you don’t understand why I asked in the first place. Here’s a clue: If everybody had said: “No, I never use the tinkering option”, then I would NOT have made Freetime versions of those appliances – Lord Darcy’s updater or not. Are you able to work out the rest of the equation yourself or is that too subtle?
