Work in progress - fake baked goods
I picked this request from the forum, working on a set of decorative baked goods extracted from the game that can be selled at your sim stores in OFB. Special fridge case will also be included, allows you to place decorative items inside without a cheat code and doesn't create restocking problems. All the items will be recolorable, including plates. One object, cheesecake, holds the texture for plates, the rest will be linked to that one. This means one plates recolor will work for all objects in the set. Estimated publish date - June 20th.![](/previews/scaled/w-575h-398-1029847.jpg)
Work in progress - new garage doors
I'm working on two new garage door meshes. One is a glass door, the other is simple flat door that would be easy enough to recolor. Default Maxis garage doors are limited to one style only, that's what I'm hoping to overcome.![](/previews/scaled/w-575h-228-1029848.jpg)
Major computer problem!
I apologize for the luck of updates, my computer died, I'm waiting for the new computer to arrive (they say about two weeks). The temporary one I'm currently using is limited on tools and resources. There is one set I managed to complete, decorative piggybank, publish date - June 1st. Oink!![](/previews/scaled/w-502h-476-1029849.jpg)
Tutorial - BodyShop tips and tricks
Another tutorial from me, BodyShop tips and tricks, from basic to advanced. Some you know, some you forgot that you could use, and some you didn't even know :). Check it out!Tutorial - cleaning up hair recolors
This tutorial will teach you how to remove unwanted ages from the hair recolor file quick and easy way. Get rid of all those duplicate hairstyles for kids and toddlers for example that you couldn't delete before because they were part of the new adult hair mesh.MooMoo Family
I wanted to thank MTS2 site for my recent MooMoo award so I made a MooMoo Family set, my first body meshes, lol! The set is going to be published at TSR as well, you can see it on the calendar already :). It includes the cow mascot outfits for the whole family and a bonus plush toy. I included that toy to the current FA theme, it gets published tomorrow (May 18), while the rest of the set comes out later.![](/previews/scaled/w-575h-331-1029850.jpg)
New tutorial - Replacing Default Clothing
I uploaded new tutorial that teaches you how to replace Maxis default clothes with your own custom texture. Currently it does not cover replacing bump map texture or replacing mesh, only the clothes texture. Why would you do that? One reason for example would be that random generated sims will have custom clothes by default.I Got MooMoo Award!
Unexpected but very flattereing! I got official MooMoo Award at MTS2 site for my "outstanding hacked objects and meshes"! It even comes with a little moomoo statue for the game, lol!More for OFB
Made a couple of mostly harmless hacks for OFB. They are default replacements but still considered hacks, posted them at MTS2. OFB flowers shadow fix replaces dark shadows under OFB crafted flower bouquets with better looking light shadow. OFB nanny outfit replacement will change default nanny clothes to new elder clothes that come with that expansion pack.Barrette hair and a bow
Replying to a comment left for toddlers barrette hair, yes, I am making barrette hair with bangs for girls as well :). Dr Pixel made similar one before but the bangs are different plus my version is going to be fully animated. So I decided to add girls version after all. Girls mesh and recolors will be separate downloads, this way people can skip them completely if they only want toddlers hair. Another addition to the same set - a large bow (accessory) designed to fit girls and toddlers barrette hair. I plan to make several recolors of the bow, should make a nice addition to the hair :)![](/previews/scaled/w-514h-341-1029851.jpg)
