Title: Single bed version of this Exotic Elements bed
Post by: BlueSoup on November 23, 2013, 10:55:45 PM
Hey all!  This is one of my beloved beds in Sims 2, and I was wondering 2 things:

a: can someone please make this into a single bed?

(http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e90/BSoup/ExoticElements_WhiteBed.jpg)

and b: can someone make some maxis-matchy recolours of this?  I really like the wood textures from AL for the Smitty windows/doors (not sure if it'd look good???) or some of the K&B wood textures (like the bathroom counter).

How do you feel about the textures we're using in the default project? I have them and can do those.

They are Black, White, AL Light, Medium, Dark and  Cherry.

I'm not able to make it into a single bed - I'm not a mesher. But if someone makes it and repo's it the double bed, I can do the recolours for the double and they'll work on the single.

If you're willing to wait a day or two, I'll do the single bed. That's a very pretty bed and I wouldn't mind having it myself. (I'd do it right now but my game just finished loading and I want to build!!)

Oh I don't mind waiting at all!  I was worried no one would even reply!  As for your textures, celebkiridhel, I'd have to look. I just downloaded some yesterday but I've spent the last two days of Simming going through the catalog writing down stuff I want to hide, so I haven't had time to load my downloads folder yet!

Hey, I checked your textures, and they're great!  I would love you to use them for the recolours, that would be lovely. Thank you both so much!

Because I can't leave well enough alone - I ended up doing the 6 recolours I promised, and another 5 coloured wood colours that I seem to be addicted to at the moment.

Download EE Bed Recolours (all 11)  (http://www.simthing.net/blog-simthing/zips/Bed-EE-TFFBedroom-RecoloursMAS.rar)

The missing preview is a coloured wood called Twilight.

Textures credit to Amythestfenix and Michelle.

I'll do the end table tomorrow sometime.

Also - do you want the template for this? And if so, what paint program do you use? (Shasta, you want it for Gimp?)

Bluesoup, thanks for the link and the request!  :thumbup  Kiri, your recolors are just so pretty!  :love

Ha ha thank you for the offer Kiri! I actually don't use many custom beds but if I do use this one, your recolors will definitely keep me happy and spoiled for choice :love

Bluesoup, thanks for the link and the request!  :thumbup  Kiri, your recolors are just so pretty!  :love

Are you the creator?  I love this bed!  Thank you for making it in the first place!

Kiri, thank you so much!  I'm finally done my hiding-fugly-Maxis project so I'm gonna check these out right now!

actually, I think Sandy was saying thankyou to you for making the request, and providing the link to Heidi's bed. I don't think Sandy is Heidi.

Bluesoup - no worries, let me know if there are any other colours/woods you want. Now I have a template it's fairly easy to provide 100's of recolours. :D

Oh. Heh.  Whoops.

I think I'm personally good with these colours. I tend to use the basics most of the time anyway. Thank you so much :)

 :D  Kiri's right :)  Would be nice if I was a creator, but my heyday ended with Sims 1 ...lol

Looking forward to the end table  tehehe

Sorry for the delay with the single version. I forgot Thanksgiving was just a few days away (at the time and there were things to do!) and then there was the resulting turkey coma, lol. Anyway- part of the bed was refusing to play nicely with the mapping (just trying to scale that part cuz I like the scaling to stay the same!) and while trying to tackle that today, I noticed a mistake I made while resizing the whole bed. So I'm starting it over and hope to get it done today or tomorrow.

P.S. LOVE the recolors, Kiri!

Oh, no worry at all, I'm so thrilled you're tackling it at all..then I'll wait a bit to ask you for another of Heidi's beds lol (kidding. Maybe. If you say no.)  :P

Maria, I'm thrilled that you are doing this, too! I've always liked this bed and I love having single versions  :wub

Kiri, I'm so glad you've done the default colors and I love the painted colors a lot! It's amazing how many times I use furniture in that asparagus color  :)
Title: Re: Single bed version of this Exotic Elements bed

Kate - Asparagus has quickly become one of my favourite colours. I also adore the Lack Red on Doors. They are terrific colours. :D

So. Apparently the double bed needs Pets, which I don't have, and I don't want to edit it to be basegame. Here is the single bed- https://app.box.com/s/uw9hwoi7xmtcfnxkjqub (https://app.box.com/s/uw9hwoi7xmtcfnxkjqub). Could you (someone, anyone!) test it and see if it works? If not, let me know what doesn't work properly. It should be slaved to the double bed but you never know, I could've missed something.

It looks fantastic!  But it's not picking up the recolours. If you want to edit the double to be base-game, that's fine.  I can always edit both of them after that to be Pets-enabled, and then we can offer both here for download, if you want?
Title: Re: Single bed version of this Exotic Elements bed

I've got both pets and base game, I'll fix it for you MLC, if you like?

Just the frame isn't picking up the recolors? I had a feeling. :( (The bedding should be alright though.. I hope.)  Give this one a try:

Kiri - fix the single bed or the double? Hopefully the little change I made fixes the single bed.  The double bed- I was planning on making a basegame version of it soon instead of just editing it to be basegame.  But if someone else wants to take that over, that's fine with me. Then I can keep working on my Christmas set.

Nah - I just meant to fix the recolours on the single. I reckon its a pain to fix something when you can't look at it in game. If you've already done it - then that's perfect! :)

had a look at your new version in game - It's not picking up the selections for the frame at all - just the bedding selection.

(http://www.simthing.net/images/eebed01.jpg)

The frame is not in the tsMaterialsMeshName on the single bed, so that may be it, everything else looked ok to me. I had a bit of a look, and noticed that the double bed is using the tsMaterialsMeshName and only has the bedding in it, so that might be where things are going strange.

Is this where I hang up my creator hat? The frame isn't in the tsMaterialsMeshName? Really?  :erm  I missed that somehow and that would be why it's not picking up the recolors. I'll fix that as soon as I check something out in my game.. which is just about done loading.

The double bed only having the bedding in tsMaterialsMeshName is to be expected since the frame isn't slaved to the in game Colonial bed.

edit: Alright, THIS bed should be fine. https://app.box.com/s/xnitppfl70ww8wtog3wi (https://app.box.com/s/xnitppfl70ww8wtog3wi) - same download link but it's V2.

Thank you so much for making this, it looks beautiful!  <3  It's amazing how much of your stuff I have in my game since I started playing again!

Post by: mustluvcatz on December 04, 2013, 03:47:18 AM
You're welcome! Sorry about it not working the first 2 times, not being able to check it in game really didn't help. (And I could've sworn I checked for "frame" in the GMND.) Ah well, it worked in the end and that's all that counts. :)

Kiri- can I borrow your picture so the bed can be properly uploaded?
Title: Re: Single bed version of this Exotic Elements bed
Post by: celebkiriedhel on December 04, 2013, 12:43:58 PM
You can't borrow it - but you can have it for uploading :) i.e. I don't want the picture back after you're finished. :lol
