Antique table oil lamp

I have been determined to make an oil lamp that's simple enough that it will become everyone's go-to oil lamp.

First, I tried to make my own lamp base, but it didn't go well; so, I looked for existing lamps to see if I could convert something.

You may remember my post "Lamps! Lamps!": I have used the floor oil lamp I modified, from Kerrigan House Designs' Antique floorlamp, and shrunk it down to be a table lamp!

(also remember I made my own lamp "The Gesner", used as the bedside lamp in these pictures?)

I've made three different globe shades - plain, roses, and an etched Victorian pattern; and, there's four different base colours - gold, old brass, silver, and black!

This is off-the-grid, but requires Cats & Dogs for the flame to work.

I really hope EVERYONE will be able to use this compliment any room!

And don't forget you could change the colour of the light, and intensity, to further customise!

Enjoy! Happy Simming!

Summer's Last Hurrah par Marcus Rodriguez Via Flickr : The sun's put in an all-too-rare appearance, today after what seems like weeks of unseasonably cool weather. The days are drawing in, the harvest's gathered and thoughts turn to preparing for the long dark days of winter.

"The Gesner" - Oil Lamp

In 1854 Abraham Gesner invented kerosene (or "paraffin"), considered a much "cleaner" fuel, in comparison to previous liquid fuels at the time. It is a clear liquid that has a low scent when burned - and with a proper wick, there should be no smoke.

I have a couple Victorian oil lamps in my own home: one has a globe over a chimney, the other just the chimney (or "flue"); so, I have desperately wanted similar oil lamps for my Victorian Sims.

Using the main base from @vampireloreskill's Keroseeing lamp, I have fabricated my first oil lamp: The Gesner.

There are two versions, Transparent, and Opaque; each of these has an etched globe (very similar to the one I own), as well as two different flower decorations. Each design comes in a golden brass, silver, and wooden base; and the transparent version also features frosted variations.

(pictured above are just some of the swatches)

The lamp is Off-The-Grid; however, you must have the Cats & Dogs Expansion Pack.

I also recommend you take advantage of the light dimmer/intensity tool in Live Mode, to adjust the brightness of the globe to your desire.

Transparent: 15 swatches - three etched transparent, six with flowers; six translucent/frosted with flowers. Opaque: 9 swatches - three etched, six flowers, all opaque/translucent with glow.

The flame inside flickers, just like a real lamp!
