Talking Table/Simple Sit Chair Recolors -- The Alternative Version

Jun 13, 2012 17:15

Firstly, there are six recolored EAxis wood floors posted over here on MTS.

Otherwise...A little while back, I made recolors of the basegame Talking Table and Simple Sit chair in white+wood colors. They're posted over here at MTS. When I was making them, I also made solid-color versions of both pieces. In the end, I didn't like them as much, so I ( Read more... )

Do you need any help with the default meshing? I used to have hiders to block everything maxis, but I realized that it would be more productive to just replace them with things I like better. That's slowly been my mission lately, so I'm playing with simpe whenever I find another maxis mesh that's starting to irk me. I love the idea of man-ternity, I have the same "awwww" seeing a man waddle around pregnant. It's cute for some reason lol.

I think what I need is the uninterrupted time to really sit down and work through the tutorial I have, which I THINK is one that will do what I want to do. (I went through so many only to find that they were for replacing individual textures, not the meshes. I haven't done diddly with the textures, just the meshes.) But the first time I ran through the tutorial, things didn't go so well. *laughs* But then, I kept being interrupted. :(

So, maybe on Sunday I'll have some time to myself to go through it again and really focus on it with undivided attention. If I'm successful, I'll probably put the results up here on the LJ, probably just simple pics with links. So, if you want preg morphs for your YA/adult/teen guys and your teen gals, keep an eye on this spot, I guess. *laughs*

And yeah, pregnant guys are adorable. At least, I think so. But then, I'm an odd bird.

Call me an odd bird too then, because I agree!

Ah yes, I can see how that would make things a little difficult. It does seem that the days you really want to get something done, everything else is happening then too. I don't know which tutorial you've been using, but I had one from insim that was very basic. It talked about replacing textures and meshes, but I would imagine ignoring the texture part and just doing the meshing part should give you the right results.

I'm definitely going to keep an eye out for the meshes, especially for the teens since very little creators make them. Thank you for taking on this task!

Y'know, I always forget that Insim exists! *laughs* I'll go over there and see if I can find the tutorial you're talking about. It might be simpler than the one I have, which I got off of someone's Dreamdwidth. Simple is good for folks like me, who live in madhouses with lots of distractions. *laughs*

And yeah, part of the reason that I wanted to do this, apart from the hideousness of EAxis's man-ternity wear, is because I got tired of my preggo teens waddling around with no belly. It looks weird. There are some female teen maternity things out there...but precious few male ones. Hence, my mission. *cue "Mission: Impossible" theme*

Odd birds of a feather flock together, as they say. *laughs*

As always thanks so much for feeding my addictions of matching furniture and game object recolors

icads_sims June 14 2012, 19:41:02 UTC

You're welcome. :) I'm glad that people are finding them useful. I makes the effort of putting them together to share worthwhile. :)

Thanks for all the work you're putting into making EAxis furniture actually match... but just so you know, there was only one thing in the Chair Frames file when I downloaded it, the Fire Pit one. Just thought I'd let you know.

These are great-I've noticed myself that there's something fishy about the way the chair works in game but it's still a nice chair and these frame recolors are very welcome.However it seems that Mediafire has done something nasty to your folder so there's only one recolor in it!Would you mind re-uploading?

icads_sims June 21 2012, 21:39:50 UTC

Yeah, I don't know what the heck happened there. :( Sorry 'bout that! Unfortunately, I'm not at home at the moment, so I don't have the file on me, and when I get home later, my evening is going to be shot with "church," which is being held at my house tonight. *laughs* But hopefully I can re-upload tomorrow. *sigh*

It's an oddly-lit chair, indeed, and the seat lighting doesn't really match the frame lighting. I think it might be because with the original colors, the only seat option is that nasty orange wood that EAxis seems to think is "oak" or sometimes "pine" while the frames are all painted in "country" colors. So, it wasn't as if it was MEANT to match, and they probably didn't anticipate me and my obsessiveness. :) But it made it quite hard to get the seats to match the frames, and some of them (the darks, in particular) just wouldn't cooperate entirely no matter what I did. But mostly, they look OK. I think. I hope.

revolvertrooper June 22 2012, 23:09:09 UTC

Exactly,it seems that they never intended to make a single-tone version so they couldn't-or didn't care to-test the mesh properly.I still think your recolors look great though-thanks for the re-upload!

I have lots to repackage cheshirekatttt October 16 2013, 04:37:25 UTC

I was needing these so much this weekend. I'm always looking through the buy catalog and feeling confused when I don't find iCad colors. I never thought I'd find your colors in this set because the talking table always gets two tones. I've always thought a solid color would be perfect, but never found. Having them in your colors is the best. You make my game look better and better and I REALLY appreciate it. Thanks!
