The Grays....Sofas

Of course when renovating you need new living room furniture. It started out as just some gray sofas & love seats but then I somehow ended up making a few other colors as well. And like the original neutral, beige, the "new neutral" Gray goes great with many other colors as well. I love the sophistication of Cashcraft's Metro Chloe Living Room, which is what I used for my Grays theme.

You will need Cashcraft's Metro Chloe Living Room Sofa Mesh for my recolors to work in your game. If you download the whole set, my sofa recolor will also work on the loveseat, chair, ottoman & coffee table. You can download her Metro Chloe Living Room Set HERE

I wasn't done with sofas - many modern homes have both a living room and a separate family room, and for that, I used one of my all time favorite custom created sofas - the Llando Sectional Sofa by Crystal Sims. Because Crystal Sims has been closed for a long time now, I included the mesh in the download for you.

Dining Room Mix & Match Recolors

Was working on a new house recently, and when I got to furnishing the dining room, I couldn't decide on one particular set, I liked a little from one set, a little from another. So I recolored what I needed from each set to make them all match up nicely.

The first set I started with was the Marazan Dining Room Set by Reflex Sims. I love using this set, because the tables easily connect without the use of the boolprop cheat to make a larger table. I recolored the whole set black - including the table glass to give it a solid wood look - however I felt the table came out a bit too dark, which is why I also recolored Reflex Sims Ferro Dining Room Set (i'll get to that in a minute). But I liked how the chairs came out - the cushions are black and the framing is silver. So for my particular use, the chairs were perfect for the head & foot of the table. In the download I did include both the chair & table recolor. Just remember to pop over to Reflex Sims to download the Marazan Dining Room Meshes (category downloads/dining rooms/page 1).

As I mentioned above I wasn't satisfied with the Marazan table results, so I recolored the Ferro Set - another Reflex Sims Set I use often in my Sims 2 dining rooms. This recolor has a grayish/black appearance, which I liked much better - it can easily fit into multiple style categories - goth, modern, contemporary (maybe???). The pieces I recolored include the table, chandelier, chair, & sideboard. Again, you'll need to download Reflex Sim's Ferro Dining Room meshes (category downloads/dining rooms/page 2). In my pictures I put multiple tables together & the Marazan Chairs are centered on the head and foot of the table - to do this, i used the cheats move_objects on and boolprop snapobjectstogrid false.

The last part of this set is a sideboard and a hutch/display cabinet. I love Eliza-37Sims Emile Set, and so I recolored her sideboard & display cabinet black for this purpose. You will need to download her Meshes for my recolors to work, you can download them from here: Emile Dining Room.

~ Voodoo ~ Dining Room

The next part of the Voodoo Set is the Dining Room. Currently its the last completed portion of this enormous set. I am currently in the middle of working on more decorative items for the set, but I have plans for a library and some additional rooms.

For the Voodoo Dining Room, I recolored Vita Sim's Victorian Dining Room Set. You will need to download Vita Sim's meshes for my set to work in your game. You can either get it directly from their website or from Paysites Must Be Destroyed.

Included in set: dining table, arm chair, dining chair, bar, bar stools, bar stuff(cabinet), candle, chandelier, buffet(china cabinet), curtains, side board, buffet & end table.

Note: To make an ultra long time the way I have in the photos, use cheat codes move_objects on & boolprop snapobjectstogrid false and carefully move them together until they appear even on all sides.

~ Voodoo ~ Living Room Set

The Voodoo Living Room is a fairly large set. I recolored Vita Sim's Amber Room set for this particular set. I used a mixture of blacks, grays, silver & a dark red marble texture I created. The marble texture I originally created to use for the Vanity Table Top in the bedroom set portion of this set, but I liked the look of it quite a bit and reused it in many pieces for the Voodoo Set.

You'll need Vita Sim's Meshes for the set to work in your game, you can either get it from their site at http://www.vitasims2.com/sims2.htm or from Paysites Must Be Destroyed - HERE. The objects I recolored include the end table, both coffee tables, the tea table, table lamp, wall lamp, ceiling lamp, the secretary, cabinet, bookcase, curbstone, the desk chair, the chair, the love seat, sofa, both lounges, and the mirror. I tried to create a recolor of the desk, however it wouldn't work no matter what I done to it. If ever I get it working, I will upload it.

To put the two lounges together to create a diagonal "fainting sofa" (as pictured above) use the move_objects on, boolprop allow45degreeangleofrotation true and boolprop snapobjectstogrid false cheats. Tomorrow the Bedroom Set portion of the Voodoo Set :)
