Barely Pediment Edgings

I'm chronically short of fences to use as edgings, something that looks like a natural border between outdoor tiles and grass.

Which is how this edging came to be. I gave it 9 recolors; two are repo'd to the University EP mini-pediment that I edited to create this new mesh. Perfect match!

Sims can walk over the edgings. Without stumbling, too. (The manufacturer is not liable for any damage, injury, or loss resulting from using this product.)

Please read and re-download as of Feb 10/11, 2022!

Alright! Third time’s a charm, I’m just making an entirely new post for this now and deleting the old one. The download links in the originals also won’t work anymore, so if you came across any reblogs of the old versions and found the download links broken, hopefully you’ll find your way here, to the final form!

Many thanks to @stinkyunicorn, @gayars and @balkopat for their help on these!

I see these pavers being used all the time in Sims 4 build videos on YouTube and I’ve desperately wanted them, so I finally converted them myself! I’ve got two versions for each shape of paver, depending where you want them to show up in your catalogue. You can only have one type for each shape! Also if you previously downloaded, delete the old meshes as the names have changed slightly to denote Build or Buy mode.

LS4S Wall Paneling Recolors - Part I - Aelia and Pooklet

Sorry if these have been done before.  I made most of these for personal use around 7 years ago.  I got back into the game recently and decided to complete the set and upload them.  I will be doing a Part II as well, with CuriousB’s colors and a few odds and ends, but I can’t stand looking at Photoshop anymore today, so that will have to wait.

Note: the_caaah was my personal journal on Tumblr and LiveJournal (both of which I no longer use), so all of the old files will be tagged as such.

4t2 Metal Roof Hatches

These roof hatches by Phaeton99 converted to Sims 2.

I adjusted them to fit the grid: the small one is 1x1 tiles, the medium is 1x2, and the biggie is 2x3. Each size has an open and a closed version. The footprint for them all is only 1 tile, so OMSP wizards can go crazy with these.

I made the top and the base separately recolorable and gave them a few recolors, including some glass ones for the top that make these look less of a hatch and more of a skylight.

All of the other meshes are repositioned to the closed medium one.

These do not work like real windows, so you will need invisible floor tiles to use them as skylights without the weather getting in. This is intentional, as combined with ladders or loft stairs, these look like actual hatches sims can climb through.

I also added a sleeker edit of the 1x2 open mesh that clips less with ladders (no closed version of this one). The preview is included with the archive.

Download (SFS) (alternate)

The files are compressed. The closed meshes are around 450 polys and the open ones are around 1040 polys. The texture size is 512x256.

Located under build/architecture, the small ones cost §250, medium ones §300, and the big ones §350. If you don't have either Apartment Life or Mansion & Garden, you can use the object relocator to move them elsewhere in the catalog.

Thank you @lordcrumps for extracting the resources and @gummilutt for ideas and support ❤️

Adele's Liam Fence Edge Hider

While looking for edge hiders to use with the roof hatches I made, I noticed that the fence from Adele's Liam build set has a pretty nice bottom rail that overlaps wall edges, though it doesn't completely cover them when used above a wall. Seemed easy enough to fix that and separate the rail from the fence, so that's what I did.

This edge hider comes in all 6 colors from the Liam set. I remapped them for optimization and enabled sims to walk over them.

The colors won't look exactly as in Adele's set because I edited the material definitions; these didn't make sense for me to be super shiny. I included a remapped edit of the original Liam fence that uses the same material settings and covers the wall edges properly, matching the edge hiders seamlessly. These fences won't override Adele's, so you may have both.

The files are compressed. The edge hiders are 32 polys with a 64x256 texture, and the fences ~130 polys with a 128x256 texture. Build/fences, costs are §1 and §13.

@curiousb

just fabulous! Please can I ask how you did the wooden ceiling on the sloping roofs?

Thank you! It's a default replacement for roof trims/undersides that I made after I saw some roofs that Criquette shared with Feverfew. Here's a crappy preview:

I uploaded it in case someone wants it. It replaces roof trims and undersides for all eaxis roofs except the thatch ones. There's also a dark variant included in the download if someone would prefer it over white trims.

Download (SFS) (alternate) - files are compressed. Conflicts with Phaneoh's white roof trim defaults, these are slightly greyer than those. All credit to @criquette-was-here as I snatched these from their files!

So @plumbtales blew my mind the other day when they used these ceiling beams in a build and mentioned they’re an EA item... wut?!

I’d been wanting something like these, and turns out they were there all along. But in typical EA fashion only in like, three colours. So I recoloured them in all 20 of iCad’s woods!

These bad boys can be found in the Build > Architecture section (probably why I never found them, I never go in there). One thing to keep in mind though that is a little annoying, these don’t disappear in walls cutaway or down mode. So you’d have to manoeuvre your camera around them a bit.

Thanks to @dramallamadingdang for the fab wood colours.

Modern Shingle Sidings in Anna’s Colours

I made a very small set of these shingle style sidings a long time ago, but it was only in a few colours and with no trim pieces, so I never got that much use out of it. I used those old textures to give it a refresh, in all 30 of Anna’s colours, with trim pieces for all. (I also threw together this house shell for the preview pic and I really love it and might need to make a real house like this now)

Enjoy!
