I’ll just jump in with a little anecdote about AngelamvEliza who was mentioned as the creator of an ugly set with strangely placed vertices over on page 176/177.
Last summer she released an outdoor set over at Reflex Sims Forum. It had the most ridiculous poly counts. (When reading this remember that 1,000 used to be the recommended poly count per tile for a Sims 2 object. With new systems and all let’s raise that to 2,000. In any case SimPE on normal settings won’t let you import a mesh with more than 2,000 polys into a package).
AngelamvEliza’s Classic Outdoor Set included:
A chair – with 39,404 polys
A table – with 19,776 polys
A parasol – with 19452 polys
I’ll just repeat that, shall I. 39,404 polys for a chair.
AngelamvEliza did say that the set had very high polys when she first posted it. When asked what exactly that meant here’s what she responded:
Begin quoteOK looked it up in Milkshape for you.. (because i care more about how it looks rather than how many poly's are in there and since i don't play sims, it's not bothering me either..
)
Here goes:
Chair: V (verticals) 20069, T (faces) 39404
Table: V 9926, T 19776
Parasol: V 9742, T 19452

Incidentially, there was a one point an ’Insanely High Poly Count List’ going around, but I think it died out. It was extremely interesting, though. Would anybody feel like starting a new one here?
