Hey, you know what? All those generous comments of yours really got me cracking. There simply is no better motivation to fire up SimPE than the encouragement of peers. So I got all the recolors done too, which means there is only all the zipping, uploading and making of new pages to do. With a bit of luck the whole set will be released at the very latest for next weekend.
I think these were some of the most complicated recolors I've ever done, but also the most interesting. I always find it fascinating how a recolor can completely change an object. Take a look at these:
The actual bookcases and the content (books etc.) can be recolored separately. 6 different bookcase textures and 4 different content textures - most of which work well together.
And while I'm in the proces of showing off: Here's a little shot of some of the actual dining part of this set. The colours and the quality of the picture is a little fuzzy, but you get the idea.
Soggyfox, I second what TapThatBooty said: Fabulous idea to make the seat cushions take their texture from the bedding. I really have a lot of respect for somebody who comes up with something so simple, yet so brilliant. Big kudos to you.
Missbonbon, I know exactly what you mean about Misc Deco! Mine is a complete monster. Over 1,800 files at last count - meshes and recolors, of course. The only way that anything is findable is because I re-price everything before putting it in, so that e.g. all fruitbowls are priced at 54, all pillows and cushions at 98, all towels at 121 etc. Only goes to show again how high maintenance this game is.
Paden, you mean announce the update over at InSim? No, of course I won't mind that. As long as nobody thinks it's rude that I just pop in to say I've updated and don't hang around to chat. I just don't have that much online time at the moment. Will that be okay, do you think, or will people take offence?
Edited because I can't spell ...Edited again, because I just thought of somethingThose wall cabinets in the MaryLou/Numenor kitchen, what placement height are they? Because there might already be an invisible somewhere that will let you clutter them up. If not, I'll be happy to make one. I can post it here or SoggyFox can offer it up with her(?) recolors. Or both. Just let me know.
