Happy holidays!
Hi guys, I hope you've all had a great festive season. I have a little present for you all. Those of you who downloaded my gift for the lovely peeps at victoria_george will already have these, but here are the two parts that I think those of you not playing a Victorian game will get the most use out of.
TS3 Store Victorian windows converted to TS2.
From the moment I saw these windows on a TS3 house, I wanted them for Regalton. After more hours of swearing over more attempts and months than I care to remember, I managed to extract the meshes and textures. After more swearing and some help from mustluvcats at GOS, I had two working windows. Which I did nothing more with for seven months. Opps. Oh well, they are now finished and ready for you to use.
The wooden frames inside are textured in Sunni's rustic wood in Pooklet's natural colours, but due to the shading underneath them, the colours aren't 100% accurate to Sunni's original swatches. They are still very pretty though, and I kept the file names rather than make up 18 new ones.

EA for the original meshes, shading and stone texture.
Sunni and Pooklet for the wood textures.
Cait and Lauri for the title.
Now I'm sure you're all scratching your heads at this and thinking "but, aren't they Macrossi's plants?" And the answer is yes, but I've made them seasonal!
Let me back up a bit here. I create primarily for my own game, and every so often I get an idea for a big project in my head, an idea that will allow me to make my game exactly how I want it. So it was when I discovered Raynuss and Gwenke were making seasonal plants. Suddenly the fact that lupins were blooming in the middle of winter went from being annoying but something I couldn't do anything about to HUGELY annoying, and I could change it!
So here we have some of the plants I've finished. They are the Macrossi plants I use the most.
Aubretia:
Cleome:
Hexagonal Planter:
Irises:
Lavetara:
(Note I also made this mesh bigger, since I've always thought the original was too small for a lavatera).
Leocutheo:
Lupins:
Pedestal Planter:
Rhododendron:
(I made this mesh bigger too, and that's Gwenke's mesh for the winter state, since I thought it looked good for this plant).
As well as all the colours you see above, I've included recolours in all the colours I have in game, noticeably SimVeggie's recolours from MTS. This is because recolouring these meshes is more complicated than recolouring a normal mesh and I wanted to save you a headache. The two exceptions to this are the planters, which are made using a different template and I can't quite figure how to make the right bits recolourable.
Anyway, they are all to be found under plants > shrubs for varying amounts of money. if one isn't there, yell since it's possible I've entered a wrong number when categorising them.
Known issues:
The templates I used are based on trees, and as such, these do fade out when you get near them. I recommend using a mod or object such as this to combat it.
They are also not centred on the tile. Again this is due to the template, and I don't know which part of the file to tinker with to fix it. It doesn't really bother me since I use boolprop snapobjectstogrid false to place plants anyway.
Since the templates are for trees, you will need to use move_objects on to place the planters on any floor other than terrain.

Macrossi for the original meshes and textures.
SimVeggie for various textures.
Gwenke and Rayness for the inspiration.

Rayness for the templates and tutorial I used.
Well I think that's everything, all you need now is the download link.
Enjoy!
