December 14th - CrabOfDoom's TS2 gifts I've learned two important (to me) skills in the past year - making defaults and swapping shoes on meshes - and they kind of got the better of me.
Please be sure to look at the file names for the defaults if you have FT
or AL, but
not both. Maxis made the exact same mesh in two EPs under two different file names. The defaults can be used together, but you don't want the extra if you don't have both EPs installed.
Mesh contains fit & fat morphs. Polycount: 2,540.
AM does have a mesh with two boots, but I couldn't resist adding... another option, shall we say. Age and gender conversions used by permission from yagami-sama. Teeshirt texture by Trapping / jeans texture by Amaryll / coat by Maxis, with an overlay from my stock texture stash.
Not outerwear enabled for maximum compatibility - I can add a separate download of enabled files, if desired. Polycounts are all around 2,650.
Aw yess.
Cloned from the basegame airplane mobile and found in Decorative > Sculptures. Slightly remapped to allow for smaller texture images.
Polycounts: diner checks: 142 / pot rack: 586
Found in Decorative > Sculptures. Polycount: 117
I thought these could be useful. I'm not sure why. They work best with moveobjects on and snaptogrid off. Found in Decorative > Sculptures.
Polycounts (double/single): diner: 191/160 - mountain: 625/429 - tropical: 2,003/1,538
This was the first time I'd ever actually used the AL hotdog stand in my game. I hated that car butt overhang that much. I gave the AL stand an awning cloned from the countertop just because I didn't want to lose the cute checks and pot rack. Then I made the checks and pot rack into separate deco. Eh, well. I can make an equally naked version, if someone wants it, but the one included is as pictured. All other stoves have had their backer removed to allow for more decorating options. Otherwise, the stoves and counters weren't touched, and as you see, still work. All tools and animations are still available to the NPC chefs. Oh, and I replaced the photos lacquered onto the AL countertop with a slab of slate. Shiny!
All four will still use any existing recolors, such as the invisible ones that hide the counters. No mapping changes were involved. I do not know if the BV Asian file will replace AL's Asian stand, and assume no responsibility if it does not in a spectacularly violent way.
Polycounts (all less than Maxis original): Asian: 4,272 / Hotdog: 5,795 / Mountain: 4,120 / Tropical: 4,438
>>DOWNLOAD Your Stocking Here!All downloads are in the above folder, but sub-foldered for neatness. Any required EPs are labeled on the filenames and defaults are clearly marked.
You may do whatever you wish with any textures and meshes here, with the exception of the trenchcoat meshes -
yagami-sama's policy requests that you ask permission first. The root of the mesh is a hidden Maxis outfit for AM, but the age and gender conversions are their work.
Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah! Happy Kwanzaa! Merry Yule! I'm outta here!
