Of COURSE you've been waiting! In fact, WOE BETIDE anyone who hasn't been waiting!!! Those fireplaces have now been lifted from the rotten pile of absolute crud bulging the seams of my hard drives, and is now due for release next Thursday (13th September).

A few notes on what to expect (otherwise known as 'lame excuses')...

(1) Where they will be found: Under Appliances/Miscellaneous (for fireplaces to appear in the build catalog, they would need specialist script installation, which is a total bore when you just wanna play).

(2) Larger fireplaces: Unfortunately, adding grid tiles to fireplaces doesn't seem to work. Any fire larger than 2 x 1 is still treated by Sims as 2 x 1 tiles, meaning they can clip through the brickwork if the fire is larger than 2 x 1. The solution is simple: just hide a small object inside each end of the fireplace or otherwise obstruct the floor tiles from irritating Sims who just love to stand in brickwork! You can also use Dr Pixel's wonderful DO NOT ENTER cones specifically designed for this purpose.

(3) The Tavern fireplace needs that window! I've also included a window in the set. This is for the double-fronted Tavern fireplace (to create a hole for the fire).

(4) Matching wallpapers have been included! Two of them to be exact - totally seamless in all directions.

(5) A bit of cheating! The chimney pieces would ideally like to sit on floor tiles. As you can see in my piccies below, I've used the 'moveobjects' cheat to place the pieces on each floor level. You might also need to use this cheat to place any chimny piece in the pitched roof space.
