Back in action with Edie's outfit

[strangetomato]

Since homemadebird was able to supply me with a duplicate of Edie's outfit, I should be able to finish chapter 26 pretty soon. Edie is still missing makeup, but I might just have her go without, or give her something a little different. That's a pretty minor detail. Thank you for helping me out, homemadebird! I actually like your version of this recolour better than the one I used to have, since the jeans are less distressed. I'm quite pleased with it.

Edie: This new haircut has really done something to your brain.

Frances: Dance, dance, DANCE! I love to dance.

Edie: Yeah... you've lost it.



Edie's apartment is missing some of its cool wallpaper (I've looked, and can't find that same pattern), and I just noticed the blue vinyl blinds (eww) in the background where the wooden ones used to be. I'll have to redownload those, if I can figure out where they came from. Losing all of your cc is a huge pain in the ass, let me tell you. Everyone should back up their downloads folder. Believe me... you'll thank yourself later.

Wow, homemadebird did such a great job! That's so cool. :)

If you think of it, when you find the wood blinds could you tell me where they are? 'cause the in-game ones are kinda low-rent. ^_^

I think I got mine from Piggis:

I suspect it's the 'Maxi Alu Blind in 16 old Wood colours'

Cool, thank you!

I'm not sure if I've seen that recolour in action. Does it just recolour the Maxis blinds to be wood? The one I had was a different shape too. I'm pretty sure it's the one simgaroop mentioned below, but I haven't gone into the game yet to check it.

Yeah, it adds like twenty-something different shades of wood to 'em. It's at the point where I'm using Piggis stuff almost exclusively, since there's so many options but all are matchy. There's literally only one colour I don't like, too, which is unusual for my picky self. :D

I really should get those recolours for everything too (or at least the ones that I like). It's annoying how so few of the Maxis tables and chairs have matching wood.

I hear ya on the picky thing. ;) I'm so picky about cc.

I know. She really did a fantastic job on it. The jeans are much better, I think, and everything else is pretty much identical.

I think these are the wooden blinds that I used to have:

I have to check them in-game to be sure, but that's exactly what they looked like (with options for long blinds or short).

Oooo, those are really nice.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I really like them, and they fill a void in the window treatment department. The Maxis offerings are pretty poor.

The curtains are atrocious.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Even worse is how they only line up with certain windows. I can never seem to get that to work out for me.

I really like those long Holy Simoly curtains. They're nice and simple.

[pixelcurious.livejournal.com]

I'll have to look for those.

I almost always use snapobjectstogrid false to place curtains, or to place other stuff that sits in front of curtains. Otherwise, they intersect. It's so annoying.

I'd give you the link, but the site seems to be down. (Are any sim sites up right now, or what? *grumbles* I need that cc.)

What a great idea. I've never though of that, but it should solve that problem perfectly.
