2014.04 - Good Old Days

Lunie just informed me I can slave the fences, so if there's interest in having a completely slaved set, I can see if I can add those too?

That would be quite the cherry on top of that already awesome idea

Here is my contribution for this month's theme and also my first contribution to GOS. As a mid-late 1990s object, it just makes the cut.

This totally rad stereo system was converted from a 3d model at Turbosquid. Base game compatible and appears under Electronics > Audio. Polycount is 1410 faces/1629 vertices. I tested it in game and didn't encounter any problems but please let me know if anything is wrong. Just as a heads up, the catalog icon shows the back of the stereo. I'm unsure how to fix that. I hope you and your sims can enjoy listening to some tapes on this thing. A big thank-you goes to Shadowfell-sims for their help exporting the model.

... we just finally replaced one of our stereos - it was like that exact one, blissful-indigo. There are two identical ones around the house, too. Very well done. (Now it can plague my sims like it did my childhood)

Oh man,i can`t remember a single household from family or friends that didn`t had one or more of those black monstrosities.Remember when their manufacturers tried to spice them up with lots of flashing and blinking LED`s,flashing in a gazillion patterns towards the end of the 90s.
Thanks for bringing back a blast from the past.

Blissful-indigo, oh what fond memories! We had one or two of those bad boys growing up. Man oh man how I miss them. Thanks!

[Laura_Columbia]

I still have one of these!! This is great, thank you so much! 

[blissful-indigo]

Fluteless, Jessy, and Laura_Columbia - Thank you so much! I'm very happy you all like the stereo 
Chris W - I definitely remember those! So many of my family members had those giant stereos with the colored LED bars that moved with the music and other random mess that scrolled across the stereo even when it was turned off.

Something to tuck your curls away while you're riveting a spitfire.

I had a couple more things to make for you guys this month, but this is the only one that turned out okay, so I hope you like it. It's an AF 3t2 conversion of modishkitten's Rosie tie-front bandana in 7 colours with spots.
I was going to convert the hair too, for reasons related to clipping, but I didn't get round to it, I'm sorry! So, obviously they don't look great with all hair, but the short styles I tried worked fine.




You'll find them under glasses. I hope your 1940s housewives like them!

LIFE IS JUST A BOWL OF CHERRIES

Cous: oh my god, thats great! thank you! 

[couslandd]

ah thank you guys, I'm really glad you like them!

[blissful-indigo]

Couslandd - I agree with everyone else. The bandanas are lovely and they were a great idea to convert.
