Here are six two-tone window recolors for the Bespoke Build set. I meant to make some of these years ago but I forgot about it until this weekend when I found the old PSD file.
I didn’t have anything specific in mind for these so just went with a few high contrasting dark/white color combos.

Do you use the Better Bath set? Here’s 36 recolors for the shower curtains if you do. The pics are uninspired but the curtains are pretty and fun to decorate with!

CC Updates: The Bespoke Build Set & Silver Moss Cape (Bespoke Lot Pack II)
Sims weren’t able to enter the attic bedroom because of some roof trim so I fixed the house and updated all of the rd objects in the Bespoke Build Set while I was at it.

P.S. It was easiest for me just to upload my files/folder so the update also includes the door fixes@shastakiss made for apartments and these recolors.

Creator Resources - BioShock Infinite Tree Meshes
Here are the meshes and textures (obj. & png) for some trees from BioShock Infinite. The meshes and textures themselves are beautiful but I don’t like how they render in game (they photograph better then they look).
I’m not interested in putting in all of the time needed to convert these but it seems like such a waste just to throw these away so I thought maybe someone else could use them. As an afterthought, I uploaded the test package I created too if you want to check these out really quick ingame but please don’t clone or redistribute it – it’s for testing purposes only and doesn’t have proper GUIDs etc.

300 Followers Gift
Add a realistic touch to your scenic lots and give your sims a new activity with these Coin Operated Telescopes from BioShock.
- $10 Charge
- 2 Subsets - 3 Textures
- Available on all lots - day or night.
- + Logic - A community lot skilling mod is needed for commercial/vacation lots.
Catalog Sort:
Hobbies / Knowledge $550
Terms of Use:
None. You’re welcome to use this however you’d like and the PSD template is HERE if you want to recolor these.
Poly Counts:
2492 Faces, 1852 Vertices (Roughly 500 polys less than the Maxis telescope.)
Additional Information:
These were cloned from a telescope so the animations are not going to match up exactly but I think they look pretty good considering. You can watch a short clip of them in use on YouTube.
Everything but the logic skill gain (and the look through interaction obviously) has been stripped out so you can’t be abducted, summon aliens or anything like that and you won’t trigger irate neighbors if you use it during the day. It’s not exactly realistic to gain logic or to be able to use these at night but that’s the way I wanted them. Let me know if you absolutely hate those features; if enough people do I’ll make another version. I hope you enjoy and thanks for following! :)

Simmer’s Expectations Unreasonable: Studios get the time they need
Peter Moore, COO of Electronic Arts, “is one of the few big executives that isn’t afraid to speak his mind.”
Q: “Where’s everything in Sims 4?”
Peter Moore: “I got all this stuff,” and they forget, “well it’s taken me years, to accumulate this.” Then you ship Sims 4 - now we just did the expansion pack and everything’s starting to feel good about Sims 4 now - but it takes a long time to do that and we always totally underestimate that when we ship a Sims game. You forget what most people now are living with.
Q: Vampires, dogs …
Peter Moore: Everything! They’re on their fifth relationship! The Sims players…They’re a hard-core bunch, a very hard-core bunch.
Toddlers and swimming pools! Think of that and all the furore that was.

This pack features several interactive objects, including a new massage chair and the mud bath! Another new addition to help your Sims wind down from their daily stress is building their Wellness skill by taking Yoga classes or learning to meditate - the higher their Wellness skill the more Yoga poses they will be able to do, and the more superior Massages they’ll be able to give.“ –Rachybop

- Video: The SIMS - Embarrassing moments in the vocal booth!!
“Watch me sing SIMlish…or slowly learn how to sing SIMlish. I wrote a song that’s going to be in the next The Sims game, I’m super excited!! But therefore, I must sing a version in Simlish…the language of The Sims.” –Lindsay Ell
For those trying to predict a release schedule for The Sims 4 content it might be a waste of time right now. According to Graham Nardone they’re experimenting to see what sells:
“To me, Sims 4 feels like a different approach to studio/team management and development timelines. Things may change as we learn what players respond best to between SPs/GPs/EPs. I wouldn’t comfortably place a number on a routine cadence of releases at this point while we continue to experiment with different ways to deliver content.” –Graham Nardone
