[Build/Object recolours] Thousand and One Nights pt 1

[esperesa]

It's been only a bit more than a week since the Arabian Nights/Asylum theme started over at GoS, but I figured I'd repost what I posted there so far (plus one new set I didn't really find fitting).

These are retextures of the crown molding meshes that came with Apartment Life. I didn't post them because I don't find them all too Arabic, but they use the same textures as the doors and were initially made to go with them.
The thing with these is that they are slaved to each other. The top designs look shitty on the bottom mesh, so I made retextures for the bottom too (which look fine on the top mesh, just less ornate).




< Mediafire or Dropbox or Box.net >

These are complete retextures of a base game window called "Arch of Antiquity". I also managed to add a texture to the recolour package for the stupid blue glass, so that part has some new texture options too. Files are all Compressorized.




< Mediafire or Dropbox or Box.net >

This is more 'vaguely inspired' by Arabic architecture than anything else: Five retextures of the 'Open Sesame door by 40 Thieves Ltd.' door that came with the base game, for your... treasuries and throne rooms and such. I was thinking more of Aghraba than Marrakech, so to speak.




< Mediafire or Dropbox or Box.net >

These are 6 retextures of the Moroccan base game door called 'Doorway to a Distant Land'. The retextures for the frame are also picked up by the 'Archway to a Distant land' arch, which is slaved to it.




< Mediafire or Dropbox or Box.net >

This is a bit of a quickie: Three retextures of the base game Moroccan column called 'Up, Up and Away'. I wanted to make more, but unfortunately the mapping was a very special brand of Impossible. Files are compressed and everything.




< Mediafire or Dropbox or Box.net >

And lastly, a request I did for the Wishing Tree: A tabletop statue of the goddess Dibella from Skyrim. Looks a bit art nouveau-ish, I think. It's slightly shiny (but not obnoxiously so) like it is in the game.

Absolutely beautiful work, Yuxi (finally, I will actually use those mouldings). Thankyou for everything you do.

Thank you, and you're very welcome! :D Haha, I'd forgotten those mouldings even existed myself.

[maaron]

Marry me? <3

Thank you, that you are! Because for all the years of playing I have never seen such beauty that you are doing. Thank you.
No, it's beautiful. Very nice! No, it's all super cool! That's just something like that to me is just not enough! BUT (!) Tell me where can I get these cool shades??

Re: East is a delicate matter (c)

[esperesa]

Oh my, thank you for always leaving such kind words! :D
The shades, do you mean the lanterns from picture 3? They are from Vitasims2, the Casablanca bedroom set.

I just love what you do - it's beautiful and nice to use it.
I mean the white curtains in the picture with Moroccan column.

Re: East is a delicate matter (c)

[esperesa]

Ahh, the curtains! You can find those here.

Ah-ha, ha! I was about to ask you where you found that lovely white, transparent curtain. ;) Glad I decided to read the comments before I typed an already-answered question! :D Now I shall use them on my Persian palace. :) And did I ever mention that I LOVE your work? Because I do. ;) I am a complete fan! I am always waiting on the edge of my seat for a new creation...because it's such a wonderful surprise and mystery! Every download is absolutely perfect and amazing and makes my Sim world amazing and my Sims (both genders) stylin', hair and all. ;) Well done, friend, well done! *claps*

[esperesa]

Eee <3 Thank you so much for the kind feedback, that made my day!

[mjspice]

Thanks for sharing the awesomeness! :D:D

Actually you're quite spot on with those moldings. Most of the Modern Arab houses where I live have similar moldings like those. XD In fact, take a look at this :D : https://andyinoman.wordpress.com/tag/sur-oman/

[esperesa]

Ohh, I had no idea! I couldn't find any pictures on Google to be sure. That is such a gorgeous house! :O Beautiful doors and furniture.

I really like the lamps in your third shot, where did you get them from?
And you're just amazing in making screen shots, I wish I had your skills!

[esperesa]

It's from Vitasims 2, Casablanca bedroom. You can get it here. :)
And thank you!

[lagritsalammas]

Thank you very much. I particularly enjoy seeing those mouldings recoloured, for it is something I had wished for for quite some time. And the rest of stuff will come in handy, too. Thanks again.

[esperesa]

You are very welcome! It surprised me that I couldn't find any retextures of those mouldings - the mapping isn't very tricky.

[lagritsalammas]

Yep. Although EAxis did manage to screw something up and the outer corners don't pull the textures right. So who knows, maybe someone did give recolouring them a try but gave up soon after saw what the tricky bits look like.

I finally got a chance to see the door, window and column recolors in game. I like them all bunches, but those columns? Absolutely gorgeous! I wish the mapping wasn't such a pain so you'd make more. :)

[esperesa]

Ahh yes, those columns... All the parts are mirrored and I was just out of inspiration for them. Glad to hear you enjoy them!

[goldbrick]

I've lurked here long enough...time to tell you that you are seriously talented and to never stop creating for Sims 2 :)
Love, Goldie

[esperesa]

Aww, thank you so much ! Haha, I still love Sims 2 so much, I don't see an end to it yet! XD

[hellopanda]

I love the Dibella statue! I have a penchant for decorating my house with these in Skyrim. Thanks for sharing.

[esperesa]

They're just too shiny to resist! XD
