Jealousy

So. Uploads. "Where are they?", you may ask.

Well, I still haven't taken those darned previews.

You see, I prefer to use my desktop PC for taking screenshots, as it's so much less painful to do on there (my laptop can barely run the base-game without collapsing in exhaustion after five minutes).

The problem is, the desktop is in the office upstairs, and while my husband just about tolerates me sitting on the sofa working on my laptop (so he can still chat to me, and see that I still exist), he gets a wee bit huffy about me disappearing upstairs to the office for hours on end for Sims-related stuffs (hence why I don't get much chance to take previews, let alone actually play my game). So, I can only do that stuff when he's not around, and he's around most of the time at the moment. I think I'm just going to have to negotiate an evening in the office though, or those previews are never going to get done.

In addition to fulfilled requests on Gos that you've probably already seen (conversions of TS3 base-game fences, retextured traffic lights and street ashtray, Leesester's sandwich board slaved to the BV poster), here's what's coming up:

1) Pinketamine's conversions of Tamo's cat's eye and 'mock mods' glasses in Pooklet's neons (lazy preview of my texture coming up):

2) Recolours of Evanesco's conversion of Pocci's TS3 accordion lamp, including the original rusty texture shown on the left here (picture nabbed from the request thread on GoS, and I'm not sure whose it is I'm afraid):

3) Ja's textures for her 'Opera' resized Freetime TV transferred to the full-size Maxis TV (picture by Ja):

4) Marina's gable deco (in-game shot from Marina), repositoried (yay!) and recoloured with various worn and grungy textures (just a small selection shown below), some to match Shakeshaft's 'Bourbon Street' build set - would anyone be interested in recolours of Numenor's deck stairs to match?

5) Simple white recolour of Nengi's 'Sea and Surf' shutters (the original blue is pretty, but white is more useful) - would anyone be interested in other colours too, with peeling paint, etc., maybe to match my recolours of Marina's gable deco?

6) In fulfillment of a GoS request, Awesim's TS3 cornices converted, and recoloured too with various slightly worn/grungy textures (picture from Awesims):

7) Conversion of Lisen's TS3 string shelf, as originally requested on GoS by MissTiikeri:

8) A wall tile originally by Chalipo, revamped to straighten it out a bit, make it look a bit more worn, and give it a skirting board (this is a resized version of my working texture, so in-game this is stretched out on the wall to make the tiles more square than they appear here):

9) Hat's textures for Cevic's male version of Maxis' 'Jeanette' hair, in Pooklet's naturals, copypasta'd onto the female mesh (picture by Hat) - would anyone be interested in neons too (I could rustle them up pretty easily)?

10) Simple Life's heavy brows in Pooklet's naturals, as modelled here by Miss Face-One:

11) Gua's 'Bean' eyebrows in Pooklet's unnaturals (naturals already done by Aquilegia), modelled by a cunningly genetically-modified Miss Face-One:

12) Various recolours from my 'Room with a View' entry at GoS - including nixy's brick wall edited to add a border, a grungified ceiling tile, recolours of Pheonix-Phaerie's 'Manor House' toilet (in Aviolina's 'Silent Hill' wood texture) and garden planter (dead-looking greenery), grungier recolours of Nanu's wood pile and BeosBoxBoy's cobwebs - seen (sort-of) in the pictures below:

13) If I get a chance, I'm also planning to dust off and finish up a couple of bits of 'hood deco, for psychosim. ;)

Oooh, lots of good ideas, and I think I will look into doing some - I have a ton more things I still need to finish off first though (including some windows I promised you about a year ago it seems).
