Since I first posted these at GoS a couple of weeks ago, I have fixed a small issue with the plain seating recolours (maybe no one else noticed, but it was bugging me), so please redownload these below. New downloaders please note that the full download has also been updated, so there is no need to download the fixed recolours separately. Plus, it also occurred to me that base-game-compatible meshes might be a good idea, for those without Pets (or any other EP that might affect the functionality of the objects) - these can also be downloaded separately below, and should work with the existing recolours.

Anyway... a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away (forgive me, my inner geek is showing), Maaron requested TS2 conversions of some TS3 sets originally by Nanu. Here, finally, is the first set, all done and dusted.

OK, herewith my last offering for this month's theme at GoS...

I have a thing about old maps - I think they're beautiful and fascinating (and I figured that I can't be the only one who feels this way?). So, when I recently came across some wonderful textures, I had to put them in my game. The problem was, so few Maxis meshes were the right size or proportions (why so many square pictures, Maxis, and so few rectangular ones?!), and I was too lazy to hunt down exactly the right custom meshes. And, call me crazy, but I actually prefer to use Maxis meshes whenever I can. Hence, this idea - stolen partly from Fantasyrogue and Graverobber - was born.

I ended up with 14 new meshes, which all started life as Maxis meshes and have now been stretched and cajoled into different and more useable, shapes, sizes and proportions, all slaved to Maxis textures. Plus my map recolours.

Of course, if you don't happen to be into old maps, you can just use the new meshes as a Maxis add-on set, and a convenient way of re-framing any existing recolors of the meshes to which they are slaved.

Some of the new meshes are slaved to Maxis pictures from various EPs and SPs, but for those who don't happen to have the packs in question, I have also created base-game versions of the Maxis meshes, so the EPs/SPs aren't actually required (just remember to download the extra base-game-friendly meshes if you need them).
