Everything Old Is New Again

[curiousb]

Just a quick thing today: some floors I made as a bit of light relief from working on my GoS 'Christmas in July' gifts (it's all good, but I think I must have chosen to make the most fiddly recolours in the history of Simming). Anyway, I love Adele's and my-mashup's vintage floor tiles, but I'm greedy and I wanted more, so I hunted down some suitable textures and made some of my own as well.

I'm particularly chuffed with the concrete tiles (especially the last-but-one on the bottom row); you really must download them to see how ace they look in-game. ;)

EDIT: thanks to sheelal, I can confirm that these are Mac-friendly. Yay!

These are gorgeous--I'm downloading them immediately, and I can't wait to use them! I also have a weakness for tiles. Thanks for sharing!

You're most welcome, and thank you for your kind words! :)

Thanks so much! I think tiles/wood floors add a bit more realism, and I haven't yet found a carpet texture that I think really works in-game.

[curiousb]

Hehehe! Thank you!

Hallo there! Oh, thank you - and I can't wait to see how you use them! :D

[curiousb]

Thank you kindly! I was really pleased with how they turned out. :)

[curiousb]

Thank you, Eva! I'm really looking forward to your giraffes, by the way! ;)

[curiousb]

You're very welcome, and thank you! :)

Thank you so goddamn much for these. I love it when people make high quality grunge floors and walls... I use a mac, and while SimPE works in a Parallels virtual machine, Homebuilder just will. not. work. And it's a pain in the ass to make walls and floors with SimPE only. And you make amazing stuff, anyway. (I am still utterly in love with the "Forgotten Town" neighborhood deco objects, still, after months.)

Thank you so much! *Blushes*

I hadn't thought actually, these do work OK on a Mac I take it? I understand there can sometimes be a problem with CC made on a PC not being Mac-friendly?

[curiousb]

You're most welcome, thank you!

[sheelal]

I haven't had a chance to put them in my game and test them out yet, but usually with cc walls and floors, the problems happen when the images are a non-standard size. Anything where the images are square and pixel dimensions are a power of two (256x256, 512x512, 1024x1024, 2048x2048, etc.) seems to work, though with walls it means distorting the image so it'll show up properly in-game, instead of squished. Not with floors, because they're already square.

...I honestly have no idea if Home Builder does this automatically or not. It's technically something that can be fixed in SimPE by replacing the textures, but with most downloads, I tend to be lazy and just delete anything that doesn't work.

Edit: They work! Screenshot proof:


Here's what they look like in-game:

[curiousb]

Oh, that's great, I'm really glad they work! :D

And thanks for the info too, which I'll bear in mind next time I make walls/floors.

Umm, actually, I'd like to ask a small favour - as the only Mac user I'm aware of, would you be willing to test out a couple of walls I've made?

[misstiikeri]

They look lovely! Thanks you for sharing! :D

[curiousb]

Hehe! No worries, and thank you!

[curiousb]

You're very welcome - I hope you enjoy decorating with them (I always love to see pictures of rooms you have decorated on GoS)!
