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

I see, thanks CatOfWar, I'll fix that

There is probably a shadow at the wrists too.  Maxis shirts tend to have shadow at the neckline, arms, and waist, if its a belly baring shirt.  Just check anywhere the fabric meets skin, there's probably a shadow.  If you make your own textures, you can easily add shadows with GIMP's "drop shadow" function, in Script-fu, and/or with the black/white color gradient tool and transparancy tools.  Or just use a fuzzy paintbrush.

Right now i don't know how to make my own textures, I use the ones that come with Photoshop, thank you for the tips, hopefully next time i post a picture it'll be better

Pooki's Pookalicious Bed

The headboard draws it's texture from the main body of the spread while the skirt draws it's texture from the flipped over section.  I have to say that I was really blown away by the way some of them translated onto this mesh. Since the frame is the bedding, there is only one subset but all your custom bedding should show up.





Pookalicious Sleeper

The Ultra Blue Suede Set (sans buttons)



UltraBlueSuede Set

includes double bed, loveseat, modified wingchair and bench.

Still don't have a name for this set. Any ideas?


edit - whoops. forgot the links
also, I tested these quite a bit but if you have a problem just let me know

The set has a kind of 1920's Art Deco Art Nouveau type feel to it -  It has a really 20's starlet feel to it like it should be in a 20's starlets dressing room maybe  The Pickford Lounge Set, Or the Theda Bara Living Set

[SamanthaS]

I love the bench and chair soooo much.

Those are really great, I love the sofas, especially! I sorta feel like I'd see those in an upbeat apartment of someone who lived downtown. XD but I can't think of a name. Awesome job!

Snarky, the diet my download folder was on has just died a quiet death. Thanks! I am grabbing these now!

[Pooki]

I love them Snarky!!  Very clever name for that first one.  You make me blush.  Very very nice!

[mustluvcatz]

Thanks Snarky! I love the Pooki bed.

[paperbeth]

mustluvcats, those are awesome. I luv deco boxes, and they work as end tables too!!

I have even made a collection file for all my decorative boxes (and another one just for deco pillows), and these boxes are going in right away.

They're totally shiny, but why Simplan-x? Their sims 2 site is still pay you know. I guess this mesh you recolored is free but this site is pay. You're making them advertizing and comforting them in their pay policy. Your recolor is indeed lovely though.

You know, I didn't even think about that. So, pic and link deleted. Why Simplan-x? Because I like the meshes and know how and where to get them without paying- as does any regular here. Sure, the site is still pay- but my recolors aren't and never will be. I didn't mean to advertise for them- my post was more about advertising the recolors and the site to get them at.  (That site being SailfinSims- which is 100% free!)

Comforting them in their pay policy? Uh, NO. How comforting could it possibly be to know/suspect/find out that regardless of your policy, there's a way to get your stuff for free? And that not only can one get said stuff for free- they do get it for free. And once they have it, they'll do what they want with it and thumb their nose at you by posting a way to get your stuff for free- AND some pretty recolors, to boot? Every little bit helps...and I for one, would be "destroyed" if I were them.

[Dr House]

It is complicated to explain that - huh that reminds my cabal issue at old insim *painful memories*
Lambda users will follow your recolor trail and find a paysite. The problem comes from misinformed users that don't know about the paysites issue or don't even know about the booty. There's still people like that. They'll end up giving money for this paysite because they ultimately saw the other shines which are pay. So you are unvolontarily advertizing them and comforting their pay policy. For that reason recoloring, alpah-editing and cloning should be banned: it is unethical to fan support a paysite by recoloring their free stuff. Since they're a paysite all their stuff , even free, should be treated as pay.

I felt guilty that I've been snatching so many goodies from this thread.  I thought should give back somehow.

I shortened XM Sims 97, hacked at the bangs, and Nouked them.


            old length                                             new length

Final product:



Anyone interested?  It's my first alpha edit, so if anyone has critiques I'm all ears.

I think it looks a lot better than the original (just a more natural feel; and I think you re-textured it well) and I'd love to have it if you're offering The original is very nice, but I much prefer this one for my own uses.
