Preview of first project for sims
So, here's a pic of what I've been working on the past couple of weeks:
It's not wallpaper, they're molding overlays! I absolutely love the molding on these walls by Holy Simoly but can't stand having to download a plain color, a molding only on bottom, a molding on both top and bottom, and for those double story windows, sometime a top only. And that's not getting into all the different colors you'd like the molding to be in. For awhile, I just had to live with that, and with molding I didn't care for on wallpaper I liked (or wallpaper with no molding at all). But when I saw CatherineTCJD's wall overlays here, I was inspired to create these. I cloned Numenor's one tile full height poster (that was handed out through Pixelhate's thread) and changed it so it had 2 subsets (that was quite a learning experience). This way, you can choose if you want the top molding, or just the bottom, or both (I added an invisible recolor naturally).
But that's not all I've done. The main reason I didn't just do recolors of Catherine's was because I wanted to solve a corner problem and some door issues, where when you placed them with no cheats, they did this:
So, I changed up my recolors slightly so that each color comes in 3 types: a full tile, left, and right. Those with M&G can just use the quarter tile cheat and with min. effort (read as: use the left and right recolors) do this:
(you have to layer 2 overlays on a corner wall to cover up the whole wall section)
Of course, those without M&G wouldn't really find the left and right recolors useful. And sadly, there's no diagonal mesh (I think the reason Catherine didn't do one was because she said it stretched the textures). But really, how often does one have diagonal walls anyways? For those, you'd have to resort to the move objects and snap objects cheats to place this on them.
Overall, it's pretty much done, I just need to take some nice pics. I'm going to upload here first though, as MTS2 takes forever (if ever) to get things up (I've yet to see the startup logo change I submitted a week ago). Not sure if I'd upload to GoS, as I'm not sure which area it'd fall under there.
