I like your carpets too, Neriana.
Although, whenever someone talks about how fast it is to make floors/walls, I remember the floor I worked on for over eight hours. Of course, once I was finished, I realized my mistakes and the next time I made a similar floor, it took me only a couple hours. But yeah, walls and floors are usually pretty easy to make. And sometimes the plainest walls look the best.
I just wish Maxis had put more trim on their walls. They did a lot of painted walls with no kick or crown trim and that irritates me, because I've never been in a place that didn't at least have kick trim. And even in my crappy ancient apartment we have kick and crown.
I know, I should just shut up and add it myself. But then it shows up as custom and sometimes it's irritating wadding through nine million custom wallpapers.
I always thought that if EAxis were smart, they would have done the trim as separate pieces that snapped to fit over walls. That way, instead of having to come out with so many of the same color wall, but with different trim combinations, they could just say, "Here it is. Flowered wallpaper. You want white beadboard wainscotting? You add it yourself."
I wish I had a nickel for everytime I have thought the exact same thing. I have a gazillion wallpapers that I never use because they don't have any trim. Most of them will only work in ultra modern buildings. I usually build fairly traditional looking houses and they require kick and crown molding.
I DLed Homecrafter, thinking I could just change them myself, but I can't get the damn thing to even start up. So much for that idea.
There are separate trim pieces (3 dimensional) that came with one of the EP's, but I can't remember which one. They're not very useful though. They're too bulky for most rooms and don't match well with very many styles. I think they're fug.
It seems to me that it would have been much simpler to make different (2 dimensional) trims an option on all wall coverings.
But what do I know? I'm only a player.
Actually, with the ability to be able to move stuff up and down the walls, and the way we can stick more than one object to a wall, if I had talent with meshing I'd do it. Make the molding to be just like paintings. Put them on the wall, raise and lower to your perfect position!
That is a fantastic idea. Someone, please do that!
