"Bridgerton House" Pianoforte
From thew new packs, the piano was one of the only things I was interested in - and I saw some potential for it to look really good, in a more customisable way. The original EA piano has 12 swatches, with various seat upholstery colours, and a huge spray of flowers &c. on top. Of those 12, there are 3 where the flowers are invisible in game - but you still get a huge random shadow over the top.
My first desire was to fix this huge shadow, and then it was to liberate the upholstery - making it available for all piano colours.
In addition to this, it was pointed out to me that perhaps the castors (wheels on the piano), were not quite historical enough; so I replaced the legs with ones that are similar to the ones the seat uses. (in saying this, looking at photos online, it looks like the piano in the "morning room" on Bridgerton does have castors; but when looking at pictures from the 19th century, I only saw castor-less legs)
Some of the EA's original colours were cut--but this is made up for with the 72 swatches you get with the pianoforte!!
Eight piano colours, with nine different upholstery colours each.
And this is Base Game Compatible, so you don't need to pay for anything just one item 🙌🏻
I'm not supersuper at making new textures yet, but I think the resulting piano-tops look unique (they are, I did them one at a time, perhaps to my disadvantage 🫠), and could be real woodgrain! Just a teaser of the colours:
Considering the amount of time, and determination this caused me (not to mention starting from scratch again, more than once), I decided it would be good to release it publicly, so everyone can benefit from that hard work.
I also put heaps of deco slots on top, so you can add whatever you like to decorate your room how you want!
