Old recolors will not work for this (anyone seen any?). There are these recolors by Michelle, semi-functional, just how it is in vanilla game. Please note the fix goes into CEP-Extra folder in Documents. The simplest way to fix this lamp would be to delete lightpattern subset from GMDC but I took a different route, removed lamp interior subset so the other one could work. That's why it looks less bright inside.
• Orbs Of Connectedness Ceiling Lamp [UNI]
Light fix & texture replacement (optional)
Also includes a fix for the Circle Of Light Friendship aka Groovy Floor Lamp.
Recolors for Bon Voyage EP sauna make the original electric heater invisible, so you can put the wood burning stove in its place.
⚠️You'll need to place the 'stove' on a walk through block OMSP, to avoid issues. Stove doesn't block Sims from accessing sauna when placed in a corner, but the sauna entrance may disappear at some point if a floor object is placed nearby.
*You can choose recolors without OR with envcube (shine) mask - a feature of Extended Standard Material Shader edit by @crispsandkerosene
*Stove emits faint reddish light (fireplace light) - if you'd like it to be brighter, you can easily change the settings using SimPe.
Thanks for giving me the idea to make this object @episims :)
*This is for The Sims 2
Stove can be found in Appliances/Misc for 350 S.
Decorative sauna thermometer found in Electronics/Misc for 15 S
Stove was cloned from CS stone moai lamp, it has fire effect playing when it's on, but it doesn't cause fires.
Sauna interior heater shadow is visible in walls-up view - I created a texture replacement for it. It removes the shadow underneath the heater:
Above, left - original recolor + shadow default.
Above - three recolors on the left use envcube mask. The effect is quite subtle, mask makes the shine grainy and resembles metallic finish. All recolors make use of specular map texture included with the mesh object, and I used the same texture as additional envcube mask.
If you use these recolors without shader edit, the shine is much stronger.
Specular map functionality has been 'rediscovered' by CandK, it doesn't require any mods.

Round table is also included but please note it's a purely decorative object.
Glowing H&M stair and fence replacements require Extended Standard Material shader by @crispsandkerosene /work without it, but will not look like they do in the preview/.
Floors featured in the pic: VTMR tiles (carpet 5 and 6) converted by @freezerbunny-sims2 , wallpaper is 'Fiery red' by Donnha, wood panelling is from Bon Voyage, I think.
*This is for The Sims 2
So this lot is more of a photoshoot set than actual building and I can't share that mess - but here's most of the CC / defaults I used in there. Also, please note this Reshade preset affected the colors.
Plant in the main pic is Bioshock 2 conversion by Misty-fluff anyone has a link? I've included it - it's actually my mesh edit with pot removed. Original conversion /with the pot/ is here.
Eventually I didn't place any grand staircase in my club - but I was going to. As my internet was down at the time, I made my own mesh edits without the stupid middle raillings. Mesh defaults for 'Sweeping Success Staircase' and deco staircase aka 'A Stair to Remember' (both are from M&G EP) - are included.
Defaults for these already exist - like this one by HL - but please note I edited Sweeping Staircase's railing posts and steps a bit. I also edited UVs, so my replacement does not require texture edits and is compatible with recolors for original.
There's also this default by simblrnova, which includes GMND fix, so the side panels change colors along the main subset (I think they also edited UVs).
You can use my texture replacement for 'Stair to remember' along any mesh default for these stairs. Please note I didn't replace side panel textures.
Matching texture / TXMT replacement for the deco fence 'A Fence to keep in mind' is included in a separate file. Obviously it will clash with other defaults for this fence, like "SN-RailingtoKeepinMind-TXMTFix" by Simblrnova.
/I have no idea if middle stair railing is used for sliding animations - if it is, anims will obviously look awkward. /
I gave Velvet Rope Fence posts a little makeover - you can choose between shape edit, or shape edit plus TXMT edit.
And in case you wonder about the microphone - it's a mesh replacement for "Small superstar microphone" (from Apartment Life, maybe?) with amplifier removed
Microphone dr is not included, I uploaded it HERE (SFS)
Steel support beam requires Apartment Life EP. It looks best in black so I recommend these pipe recolors too.
Round banquet table is a decorative object
It will pull textures from Roundabout table, which could be from Celebrations SP (?) . You can use some invisible 1x1 table to make it somewhat functional /I included invisible table recolor for the 'groovy' square table from UNI EP/.
Decor bits on the table are a part of the mesh, if you don't like it, you can open GMDC in simPe and delete unwanted subsets /FYI those plates are lower than default Eaxis plate/.
I've included small mineral water bottle that didn't make it into my bar decor set as it should.
Crystal chandelier aka Cascades chandelier is a TS2 preorder item, I've included the mesh /with edited texture, black 'circle' removed from the canopy top/. The other one is from M&G /I think?/.
Fancy planter is an add on for 'Off the hook egg" (maybe OFB?), has one placement slot. Recolors (2 in one) included - recolor says red and black, but I changed it to gold last minute.
2-story spotlighter was cloned from an ordinary ceiling lamp, and is not animated - 'light beams' are not recolourable, and are always on. It requires Night Life - I also included recolor for the other NL spotlighter, as I discovered later these are not texture-linked.
2-story curtains are an add-on for 4t2 Wondymoon Cycnus curtains converted by @deatherella - s4 original is here (T$R) - I included the required mesh and my recolors - red and dark purple.
Plumbob sign is based on a symbol from TS2 litigator podium (a career reward).
Stuff I'll share some other time: 2-story light cable extension, table lamps /also, chairs - maybe/.
And if you're up for some DYI, here's the texture I used for the club ceiling. This is based on Adele's sectioned wood floor texture, made dark brown.
New add-on for my Lobby Lights set. This is exactly the same shape as original sconce, but light patterns are colorized.
📦 Double Lobby Sconce & Color Glow
Download: SFS | BOX Polycount: 685
❗ This requires my Lobby Sconce - Double, you can get it here (SFS), or here (BOX).
Please note lampshade part is not repo'ed to Lobby sconce - it's linked with the glow and can be recoloured (it uses textures from original mesh though, aside from default purple).
Three new animated light chains AND three still light chains - left and right hanging plus short chain. Hanging chains extend beneath the floor level so 'cables' connect when placed one above another.
Required meshes are included (I've shared these at MTS once) -mostly unchanged but I removed mip-maps from lightpattern textures.
Here's edited version of my Lantern Pack if anyone's interested. Most textures are ~30% smaller*
Lantern Pack - resized textures
Download: SFS | BOX
Please note some of these lanterns require IKEA SP because of the light settings (but you can change it to something else).
*Texture sizes in original upload are not excessive, mostly 512x256 px (but back then I didn't know I could use non-standard size). I've removed mipmaps and resized most textures to 360x180 px because that's enough for these. Overall, edited lanterns look a bit better /more crisp/ from slight distance.
I needed some kind of ceiling lights that would match my panel ceiling and reminded myself of this lamp from Kitchen & Bath SP that I've never used. I gave it a little makeover.
'Four Square Lights' [K&B] - Default
& Add-on (same shape as DR mesh, warm light settings)
Download: SFS | BOX
Polycount is unchanged. Add-on ceiling lamp requires K&B SP /unlike original, it has two subsets - glowing bit is recolourable/.
And remember that you can change the light settings - if you want warm add-on to be brighter, try lightingceilingluxurybow_light (from Glamour SP).
