Anska's W.I.P. Thread

Sometime last weekend I got bored with the white dinner ware my sims use and started looking for a default replacement. Alas, I couldn't find any, so I started to fiddle out a mod which allows every override of the basic dirty plate to change the apperance of your sims' dinnerware. As you can see it seems to work quite well and my testing sim is enjoying her French Toast from lovely blue-and-white porcelain.

Oh I like the dinner plates too. I have to ask, what are wips?

Thank you everyone. Wips are indeed works in progress, though the tableware has now progressed to be actually useable and can be found in my studio. The blue white pattern I used for the picture above isn't included in the current set though. While I still like it, I went for a fancier version of blue-white with a large central ornament in the end. Delftware is a nice thought so ... how about a simlish V.O.C. plate? =)

For the time being I am working on some old fashioned texture replacements for the readable books. While I think the books orginal covers are very cute, they don't really fit the fin du siècle style I am aiming for in my game - and I assume some of those doing the history challenge might enjoy a choice of more old fashioned bookcovers too. Up to now I have edited the skill books but am not yet done in retexturing the little bookstand which appear on retail lots - which might take a while as their uv mapping is rather horribly complicated - but for those who are curious, there's a a first version in my newly established WIP dump. If you give it a try, let me know what you think.

The Pirate Queen's Bounty Set: Single beds and bedding added. Opposed to the double beds the single beds only have a wooden headboard as all my attempts to make coloured ones didn't look very nice. Also, thanks to Jools fabulous tutorial, I added another version of the retail display, sporting the laser effect of the original item. The set can be downloaded here.

The Pirate Queen's Bounty Set: Mini update, while most pieces of Princess Cordelia's furniture have a lightbrown/red and a darkbrown/red swatch, the ottoman has a white/red swatch instead of the dark option. This replaces the white/red swatch with a darkbrown/red one. Please note that this is a default override and will thus affect all previously placed items. The override and the rest of the set can be found here.

The Cookingbook: The doughnut recipes have been updated for City Living. Also I split the actual interaction tuning from the tuned object, so you can more easily add it to your prefered kitchen items. Pudding recipes are currently down until I have made them safe for Vegetarians. The mod can be found here.
