Just a Little Somethin’ To Enjoy

Link:SFS     

I am pretty excited for tomorrow’s release, even though I didn’t pre-order it this time I will be getting it as soon as I wake up. I am most excited for the familiars, which will very much help to satisfy my longing for something akin to the Holopets from Sims 3 ITF, and am thrilled that one can have them all to select from, and not be forced to make any kind of agonizing choices between the myriad selection that they have made for us to enjoy.

That said, this effect from the portal is truly one of the most Beautiful effects that I have ever seen in a video game. It is so very mesmerizing that I found myself simply staring at its gentle flow of colors and ignoring my Sims… This is cloned from the BG reward Zen Garden, and is too tall for a Short wall so fits in a Medium or Large room (or simply outdoors), two tiles wide, and available in five swatches. No custom tuning, and of course is BGC (as long as one is current with the latest patch…).

Found under Decor | Misc., and can be found by searching ‘minimo’ (I am now using the amazing name-hiding trick so that I myself am no longer annoyed by having my screen name on all of my own CC).

Cheers, and Have Fun!

A Stranger Alien Garden

Link:SFS [Folder]          

I re-visited my fascination with the EP01 Sixam plants with the new options that we got with Strangerville. This is the result…

There is one plant that is part of the Strangerville plants that has additional recolors (seven), which I then took and applied to the rest of the Strangerville plants as well as the Sixam plants, for a Huge possibility of color combinations. All of the SV plants have been de-tuned into ‘regular’ houseplants, and given slots in case one wants to place then in any pots or such. They require Strangerville (GP07) to use, as the Sixam plants require Get To Work (EP01) to use, naturally… The number of swatches range from 8 - 23 (EP01 plants), 7 - 9 for the SV plants. I also minimized the size of their footprints to make them all easier to place together.

Additionally, I tweaked the Tentacle Sculpture from GP07 by removing the inner ‘support’ of the mesh, and gave it an extra 15 re-colors to go with the original 3 swatches (not shown above). Also available are 5 BG rock clones that I made to give the gardens some 'extra FX’ (all BCG) - one for the fairy, one for Sixam pollen floating upwards, one for Sixam pollen falling downwards, one rather noise-some one with the orbs that appear with the alien abduction event, and lastly one with the ground-based 'aurora’ light rays.

In continuation of my additional heat-lamps HERE, I made clones of the Cats & Dogs (EP04 - required) Training Hoops, and turned them into 'Heated Plasma Lamps’ (I believe Dine Out [GP03] is required to use - no outdoor heat sources included with Seasons, of course… SMH), fully functional & upgrade-able, and each of the three heights have 9 swatches including the original white-only one.

Lastly, I took the Geometric Club Door from Get Together, halved it, and then cloned a divider from Bowling (SP10 required) and made two single-tile 'dividers’ or whatever you may wish them to be… Eight frame choices each with a choice of four lighted colors, for a total of 32 swatches.

[I really should have made a short video for this…] Thank You, and Have Fun!
