OFB Craft Objects Collections

I made two collection files for all Open for Business craft objects, the ones that you usually make at a craft station, like toys, robots, flowers. With these collections you can just buy those objects from your game catalog. Since those are modified files, I posted them at MTS2. You will find the files and instructions at this link. You can also go to Downloads section at MTS2 and do a search for "OFB Craft Objects".

Custom objects on OFB shelves

Thanks to Numenor for discovering how custom objects can be changed to make them placeable on Open For Business shelves! Numenor actually created a global hack for that, but if you are not going to use that hack, I've modified several of my decorative objects to work without the hack. They can be downloaded from this page.

Quick fix towels

I liked the towels that come with OFB. There was only one problem, they did not match all my bathroom mats and accessories. Problem solved, lol! I made new towels based on OFB ones but linked to my original towel for colors! The set of four towels will be published tomorrow, March 9. These modified towels will use all the custom recolors you might have. They don't require expansion pack. The rack towels also modified to stay visible at all times, even when the walls are down.

Update - fixed Magnolia tables

Both Magnolia tables were just a bit too high. Parts of the table were showing through the dinner plates. I missed that during initial testing but corrected the problem now. You can download both tables from this page .

OFB and mailbox cover

I finally got my copy of Open For Business, yay! Testing all the objects for this new expansion pack. So far there is only one problem - mailbox covers. You can no longer place mailbox covers on top of the mailbox. There is nothing wrong with the object itself, Maxis has changed the moveobjects cheat code so you no longer can place ANYTHING on a curbside. The only solution so far is to move the mailbox but the results are unpredictable so I would not recommend it.

Work in progress - new hair and earrings

This new hairstyle will be available for adults and teens. Its a simple updo hair. Maxis doesn't have anything of this type so I'm making one :). The mesh is almost ready, still needs additional recolors and a few touches. I also made new earrings, mostly to go with the hair.

OFB compatibility

I have received several messages already about some of my objects not working with a new expansion pack. None of that has been confirmed so far. Before sending me a message please make sure you actually have a problem. Try to sell and buy the item again. See if it works in a different house. Download the object again from this site, perhaps you don't have the latest copy of it or your copy is corrupted. I will be testing each single one of my creations. If there is something wrong with them, I will post a notice in my blog and attempt to address the problem. Thank you.

Simceramics

This will be a set of pots, vases, amphoras of different sizes. I'm targeting March 11th as a publish date. The round pots designed to be placed on top of a potted plant without a cheatcode. To cover up Maxis default pots :). One of the large pots acts as a small table. If you use my plastic shrubs to place on top of that pot, you will get a nice looking planter. All the smaller meshes are linked to large ones for colors. I got carried away with making recolors, again, lol! So there will be plenty of files to download.

My first hair mesh

My first attempt to create a new hair mesh for the sims. Something I picked up from "Last Exile" anime - a little girl there had these interesting hair clips. Decided that they shouldn't be difficult to make. Silly me! lol! I've been working non-stop for several days already on this project! There are just so many little things to deal with when creating a hair mesh. I'm in the process of tasting the mesh. Wish me luck! :)

Work in progress - Waterfront Windows

I had this idea for a while, a new type of windows, somewhat similar to Lafenetre but with wide outer frame. Finally got to work on them, got a couple of arched windows already. The frame will be dual color, a bit more flexibility there.
