Mirrored AL Spiral Stairs + extra's
(sort of repost from a few days ago)
It always bugged me that the spiral stairs that came with Apartment Life were only winding one way. I also didn't like that sims couldn't walk under the highest part of the stairs, even though there's plenty of space under it. It would also be nice if you could easily place some objects under the stairs.
In short: time for a new maxis more functional set!
All 3 spiral stairs that came with Apartment Life have been mirrored - all correctly animated ofcourse. The stairs use the textures and recolors of the original stairs.
Aside from that, the 3 new and the 3 original spiral stairs have been modified to allow sims walking underneath them, and to place objects under the stairs. As you can see in the picture, it's a perfect place for a small dresser. Sims will be able to access it without any problems.
As an extra I've added a file that will remove the fading of all spiral stairs when you zoom in closely. No more watching sims climb up those stairs in thin air!
Please note that the modifications will only work with newly placed stairs. Have fun with these stairs!
Lighthouse set updated
(repost from jan 18, 2009)
The lighthouse build set has been updated on januari 18th. The newer EP's made the objects in the collectionfile to show up greyed out, and that made them unplaceable. This has now been resolved.
See earlier blogpost on how to build with these round walls. Have fun with it!
Victorian Streetliving unpublished
(sort of repost from earlier this year)
The Victorian Streetliving set is temporarily unpublished. A few of the files in that set had become corrrupt on the servers, and seem to have become stuck/not replaceable. The corrupt files could in some cases cause the game to crash, and since I don't want my files to cause any trouble in anyones game, I have unpublished this set for now.
The files causing the problems are the lamp version of the candle, and the fire. If you can click on them in the catalogue without any problem showing up, then those files are not corrupt and can be used without any problem. If you have problems with clicking on them in the catalogue, then they are corrupt and should be removed from your downloadfolder.
As soon as the problem with the files on the server are solved, I will republish this set. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Object rotators: 5 degree angle
(edited repost of dec 02 2008)
45 Degree rotation not enough? You would like to have more freedom in how to decorate your homes, while still having your sims being able to use the objects normally? This is now possible!
I have made an objectrotator that will allow most 1-tile objects to be placed at a 5 degree angle. Sims can use all rotated objects normally. You can also rotate sims themselves when you use moveobjects on. Ideal for storywriters and screenshotmakers!
As you can see in the pictures, chairs can be placed any way you want them, making it possible to decorate in a more realistic way then was possible with only 45 degree angles.
There are 3 object rotators: one for large floor objects, one for small floor objects and one to rotate objects that can be placed on (end)tables. The difference between the two floor object rotators, is that with the smaller one sims will walk up close to it (think about todlertoys for instance) and with the smaller one sims will walk around it (think about livingroom chairs for instance).
How to use the object rotators
Place the object rotator on the ground, and hover with the object that you want to rotate above it, just as you would do if you place an object on a table. Press M on your keybord untill you reached the desired angle, and then just place it. You can keep the M pressed down for quick rotating. After placing you can make the rotator invisible with the included invisible recolor.
Stacking enabled
The rotators are stacking enabled. This is a new technique, that makes easy stacking possible. So if you place an endtable on the object rotator, you will still be able to place objects on top of that table. Stacking enabling will only work if the object placed on the floor is stacking enabled: an objectrotator placed on top of an endtable will not allow stacking. If that same endtable itself is placed on top of an objectrotator, then you can stack as much as you want on top of it. I hope this makes sense ;)
Have a lot of fun with it!
How to build pyramids
(Repost of sep 20, 2008)
To make the pyramid walls go down for easy playing, you need to use a special (but easy) way of building. First of all, you need ofcourse the Pyramid build set, but also the invisible windows and doors (http://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/sims2/sets/objects/526475/)
Important: Make sure you have the (residential and/or community) collectionfiles of the pyramid walls. You will not find the pyramid walls in the normal catalogue, only in the collection files!
The reason for this, is to not clog up peoples already full catalogues with something that is not very often used.
The technique used for the pyramids is basicly the same as for building the lighthouse.
1 Make a square with the normal walls. The size depends on how large you want to make the pyramid (15x15, 11x11, 9x9, 7x7 or 5x5).
2 Place the pyramid meshes against the inside of the normal wall.
3 Use a pyramid wall with door opening on one of the sides.
4 Use the invisible door to give sims access to the inside of the pyramid.
5 Use the invisible window to hide all normal walls.
6 Use the invisible fence to prevent sims from sticking their head through the pyramid walls, by adding the fence on the inside of the pyramid, 1 tile from the walls. The invisible fence is not part of the collection file, you will find it in the normal fence catalogue. Note: in the picture an ingame fence is used to show how to place the fence. The real invisible fence is invisible (duh ;) ).
The pyramid walls and invisible door/window/fences are TSRAA and may be included in lots here on TSR.
Have fun building your pyramids!
Spicing Things Up
Hey, this is sweet_mocha.
And I have come to spice things up a bit.
I am a Sims 1 user, and I am proud of it.
If you have any creations, post the link in the comments section, and I will see if I like it or not. This is a great way to make yourself known.
Think about it.
I will be here.
Who's Next?
I'm finally here! I'm so excited to, I want to thank any one in the future who thanks me for a download, who bookmarks me, and downloads from me! I already submitted my very first download which was Hayley Williams from the band Paramore, and right now I am thinking who I should create next. If anyone out there who is reading this has any ideas for me, please don't hesitate to comment and share your idea!
Until Next Time,
