Testers Wanted: "Sleigh" Furniture 5/31/05 Updated Toybox UV mapping

[SnowStorm]

:new:5/31/05 - I've uploaded a new version of the Toybox with the uvmapping cleaned up. It should now be mapped so that pictures can be put on all sides cleanly. Both this and the original version use the same guid, so you only can have one or the other in game. Download SS_Sleigh_Toy_Box_Mesh_UVMapFixed.zip to get the updated version.

Original Post:
Here is a new mesh for a toddler bed, "sleigh" style. This object is cloned from the Kinder Kontainer crib, and it should have all the animations of the original crib. I modified the behaviours to only allow toddlers, hopefully I did it right. The object is Colour enabled and EP ready. The frame is recolourable. The bedding is linked to the original crib bedding materials. I've included one frame recolour, and the Bob the Builder bedding shown in the picture.


Updated 3/23/05
I've made some small tweaks to the toddler bed. I also modified the Bob the builder bedding so it can be used on a crib. Parts of it do appear flipped, unfortunately that is a limitation of the way Maxis mapped the object. I've combined the bed, bed recolour and bedding recolour into on zip file.

Added 3/23/05
By popular request here is the matching Sleigh style changing table. I separated out the frame from the pad/accessories, so they can now be recoloured separately! Included in the zip file is the changing table, a cherry wood frame recolour and a bob the builder pad/accessories recolour.

Added 3/25/05
I've added a matching toy box. Included in the toybox zip are two recolors, the oak and cherry to match the bed and changing table. The toy box textures are linked to the original maxis toy box.

Added 3/25/05
By request here is a matching sleigh style crib.

Added 3/25/05
I've added a white recolor for the 4 items.

Updated 4/1/05
As requested here is the high chair. I separated the frame from the cushions/tray. The cushions and tray use the Maxis high chair textures. I've included the oak, cherry and white recolors for the frame. I also included a bob the builder cushions in the zip.

I've figured out how to retain the tray animation. Unfortuanately to keep the separate frame recolor I ended up loosing the groundfloor shadow. If you've never downloaded the high chair then download sleighHighChair.zip, this contains the highchair, the frame recolors and the bob the builder cushions. (the bob the builder cushions will work on the original maxis high chair also). The SS_High_Chair_With_Anim.zip contains just the high chair package for those who already have the recolors.

Added 3/31/05
I've added a single and a double bed in the sleigh style. Each bed's bedding is linked to the colonial bedding so can use all existing bedding recolors. Each frame has it's own frame texture. I tried linking the single bed texture to the double beds, but that made the single bed's frame blue in the catalog. Each zip file contains the associate recolors. All interactions and animations should be working.

Added 4/1/05
As requested here is an armoire in the sleigh style. It should have all the original actions and animations. I've included the white and cherry recolors in the zip file.

All objects have unique GUIDs and are EP ready.
Poly counts
Toybox : 1722 (original 1012)

Known Issues

Toybox: It is slightly wider than a square so if you try to put it sideways against a wall part of the leg will be in the wall. I'd have to make the toybox narrower to get around it, and I didn't like how it looked.
Toybox: Can't seem to put toys back away.
Changing Table: Back bleeds thru windows.
Toddler Bed: Toddler pulls them self up on a non-existant frame.
Crib: Frame doesn't move
High Chair: Texture doesn't turn dirty. No ground shadow


Please don't post my original object packages on any sites. Recolor to your hearts content. But please post links in this thread to share with others.

To recolor:
Toybox: maxis toy box (Rip Co Toy Bin??)
Toddler Bed: Frame - New package, Bedding - Maxis Crib (The Kinder Container)
Crib: Frame - New package, Bedding - Maxis Crib (The Kinder Kontainer)
Changing Table: Frame - New package, cushions/stuff - Maxis Changing Table (The Sanitation Station)
Armoire: New package
Single Bed: Frame - New package, Bedding - maxis Bed (Colonial Ironwood Bed)
Double Bed: Frame - New package, Bedding - maxis Bed (Colonial Ironwood Bed)
High Chair: Frame - New package, Cushions/Tray - maxis High Chair (Kinder Koddler)

A big Thanks goes out to Jem for helping me test my stuff :gjob:

[syion]

This is great! Thank you so much been waitung for something like this. Yeah I think I am the first to download it !

[toriamos]

Very cute, will test it out. I like the idea of the toddler bed, when I play I have aging off alot this kind give that little step up in age feeling to the toddlers before they grow into kids. Thank you.

[velvetrevolver1]

WOW, those are such a cute bed. Thanx so much it will come in handy :).

[Heids]

This is so wonderful. I havn't had a chance to test yet but if there is something bad happens I'll let you know.
Thanks for sharing!

~One quick question/ assumption: Will the toddler still need the parent assistance on getting in and out of the bed? I assume that they would, but...

[SimShady18]

awww soooo cute can you make a dora one?

[~Jessica~]

I was going to ask the same question as Heids did...*waits for answer*

[Jill]

That is SO ADORABLE!! I LOVE IT!! Thank you so much!

[mmmyrs2]

This is so cute! Thanks for sharing it.

[Fro99ie123]

i don't care if they still stand up! lol! you made the same exact bed that my 3 year old nephew has, even down to the Bob The Builder sheets. Thanks SO much! :)

[beckyboda]

perfect!

[claychick]

I could kiss you!

[sissybreezerboy]

[SnowStorm]

~One quick question/ assumption: Will the toddler still need the parent assistance on getting in and out of the bed? I assume that they would, but...

Yes they do. The putting to bed animation looks good with the bed though. And heck I sometimes still have to pickup my 3 yr old and stick him in bed! They never want to sleep at that age it seems:)

[SnowStorm]

alexandra rose in her new bed!!

Cute. And the mobile doesn't look too bad on it either. I did notice in your screen shot that the bed cuts into the wall. Didn't notice that when I had it in game. I'll fix that later today and post an update.

[carlydunham]

snowstorm i probably put it too close to the window iwas so excited lol

[helenaollie1830]

Thank you so much!

[carlydunham]

snow i hate to be demanding but could you do a changing table to match it that would be cool!!

[corvettewoman]

this is awesome!! thank you!!

[SnowStorm]

snow i hate to be demanding but could you do a changing table to match it that would be cool!!


Something on the order of this (http://www.babyuniverse.com/pro.asp?store=baby&lang=&id=40531&catid=648)?

I'll give it a whirl tonight.

[carlydunham]

oh snow yes please that would be awesome!!!

[lcuttingup]

This is very nice! Thank you so much!

[justmoi]

The bed is beautiful, you did an awesome job. Thank you. And if you succeed with the changing table my sim babies will have the most awesome bedroom. Again, thank you for your great work.

[NickelLover727]

Omg I LOVE it! Thanks so much!! It is absolutly beautiful-And same as Carly- Not to be demanding and all but it would be awesoem to get a changing table! And maybe somethings to mtchthis bed! And by the way.. Whered you get the mobile from? It is too cute.

[luvbuzz82]

:thumb: Wow, Snowstorm awesome job, looks great in game! :lovestruc

[africa666]

Could you make it zip? Thanks!

[hilmar]

you need an academy award for this one, this is exactly what I was waiting for, a toddler bed for my sims. great job.

[gypsylady]

Just wanted to ket you know this works great in my game and looks awsome thank you for a great object in a very needy catagorie

[poisonsilvi]

That bed is sooo beautiful in the game and works without any troubles and YES a matching changing table and stool would be great !!

[wily90granny]

Thanks!!! I've saved all 3 to my hard drive. They are so cute. I just went oooooohhhhhhhhh! when i saw it. Thank you so much!!!

[chandonsparkles]

This is great! As for the parent helping the toddler out of the bed, when they learn to walk, they can get out of the crib by themselves.(at least they have in my game.) Thus they will be able to get out of bed! They're pretty sneaky about getting out of the crib too! LOL!

[LiSim1980]

This is so cool, thanks!

[ShortyBoo]

Will you be making any girl bedding like Dora or Hello Kitty? Also, Blue's Clues would be cute, too! I love this bed, btw.

[doggwagg]

that is soo cute!! thanx!! ^.^

[idtaminger]

OMG. I love the mobile. Where'd you get that carlydunham?

[darter1234]

This bed is just wonderful, thank you so very much. I feel inspired to make some new bedding sets for the little ones now. :)

For those looking for the mobile, it looks like the one Rentechd made, which can be found here:
http://www.variousimmers.net/vsimforum/showthread.php?t=79

[RealHogsFan]

Oh, I just love this!!!

[Gem78]

Thankyou I just love it!!!!!!!!!

[pippi420]

this is so adorable! Thank you, I've been wanting something like this.. I can't wait to make some new bedding to go alone with my toddlers' new beds! :)

[rednotdead]

this is just exactly what my little one sleeps in now i just need some blue's clues bedcovers

[SnowStorm]

I will eventually make some other bedding. Right now I'm going to concentrate on making other "Sleigh" style objects. Here is a sneak peak at the changing table.

[Rythela]

SnowStorm, your stuff is looking great! keep up the good work, I can't wait for the Changing Table. I'll make sure I have it in my Sims. You're amazing! How are you able to make it? Any ideas because I always make to make objects and not really sure how.

[carlydunham]

omg i cant wait for that change table!!! keep it up

[SnowStorm]

SnowStorm, your stuff is looking great! keep up the good work, I can't wait for the Changing Table. I'll make sure I have it in my Sims. You're amazing! How are you able to make it? Any ideas because I always make to make objects and not really sure how.

Well I started out by reading all the threads and tutorials on object creation. Alot of it made no sence at first. But as I followed the tutorials things started to click. If you want to get into making new objects I recommend you start by reading the tech threads and tutorials. Selecting what software you want to use. Then get to know your tools. I use Blender, Ultimate Unwrap 3d and Paint Shop Pro. I've been using them on and off for about 6 months. I wouldn't suggest you try to make a Sims2 object until you have a good feel for using your graphics, 3d and uv mapper programs. Once you are familiar with them you can concentrate on using the Sim2 programs (Simpe & MeshTool) to import/export the 3d data.

Suggestions:

Become proficient at recolouring using Object Workshop.
Don't get frustrated.
Don't get attached to your initial objects because you may have to scrap them.
Save early and Save often:)
Start with a simple change.
Don't start with lights, mirrors or beds. Or anything you know has animations. Decorative stuff, like statues are usually a good place to get your feet wet.
Search the forum with questions. There is lots and lots of info here.
Be aware that most tutorials are somewhat out of date as the program developers are working on these programs quite often.
Oh and Scenegrapher is your friend when making custom objects!

[Rythela]

All right. Thanks :) I'll try that

[SnowStorm]

Ok added changing table, and put files up as zip.

[oh1sexymama]

This is just like my 3 year old's bed right down to the Bob The Builder sheets. Was wondering if you could make a Blues Clues one? Just a thought! It's terrific work.

[simsational suzi]

These are adorable thank you =)

[Sylvon]

Absolutely wonderful work, I love it, thank you very much.

[justmoi]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for making the changing table, knew you could do it. It's absolutely beautiful. Keep up the great work.

[mentalmissfit]

sorry i cant download it the sims 2 university doesn't work with mods

[SnowStorm]

sorry i cant download it the sims 2 university doesn't work with mods

I'm not sure what you mean by this. I have University installed and test my objects up in game before I post them.

[Phse]

wow :) .

[Jem]

I have sims2 uni and I test the items before Snow posts them. So I'm not sure what the problem is? I'm going to start trying to help Snow out by doing new beddings and the pad for the change table. Now it's going to take me a while because I'm just learning how to do this. But I'm going to try the Blue's Clue bedding first.

[german1200]

These are cute. I love them. Thanks for sharing.

[SJane3384]

I have 3 requests (because I'm greedy)....

1) A child's sleigh bed
2) A sleigh crib
3) A high chair

[mom23boys3girls]

hi there
when I first installed the toddler bed, I had no problems with it, when you released the newer version of it I downloaded it and then went to play my game, it crashed :( That was the only new download I had in my folder. I couldnt even get the game to start.
Oh I am using Uni EP
The bed is adorable and I would love to be able to use it, anyone have any ideas why the newest version made my game crash when the original version didn't?
Thanks
Tina

[Jem]

I have the bed installed and I have uni! I am having no problems so far. but try this find it in your download file and remove then try to start the game again. If it crashed it's not a problem, but if it doesn't crash it's the problem and I've no idea why? But I'm going to re-download and install to check it on in my game right now.


OK I just went in and removed both of her items the bed and the changing table. I then downloaded the newest ones she has posted here. I installed them and they both worked fine. No problems at all except for the bleeding thru the windows with the changing table which I told her about and she is going to see if she can fix it. But if you look at the ones from Maxis you will see that they all bleed thru. As to your problem all I can say is try removing them and re-installing.

[stormygail]

Thank you so much - its beautiful & my sim kiddies love it

[SimShady18]

Please Please Recolors!!????? Id be happy with one hello kitty or dora the explorer...PLEASE???
Btw-I have no idea how to use SimPe ..Im actaully scared of all those numbers....

[~Jessica~]

i second that recolor motion but i was thinking more like maybe recoloring the wood? i think it would look good with carebear, my little pony, or strawberry shortcake sheets too but I was mainly thinking about the wood
lol *shakes head*
i got confused by simpe so dont feel like you're alone simshady lol

[carol6552]

It is awesome, thank you so much. I am seconding the new sheets though. Would like some girly ones. :)

[JaciFFXI]

These objects are awesome, I love sleigh style objects!

[LavaBabe]

That's so awesome! Thanks for sharing :)

[stereotype_a]

Nice job! I just downloaded and I can't wait to use them tonight when I play The Sims. I agree with those who asked for recolors, though. Hehe.. I'd LOVE to see Hello Kitty, Care Bears, Strawberry Shortcake for girls, and maybe some others for boys [can't think of any off the top of my head.]

[shamansky]

perfect work! thank you.

[SnowStorm]

Ok Toybox added to the set.

What type of wood recolors were you looking for?

[Konecoshushi]

Ok Toybox added to the set.




What type of wood recolors were you looking for?

SnowStorm I want you to know that I love your set,(I love cherry wood too...) but I wouldn't mind having it recoloured in a white wood.

Once again thank you!

[~Jessica~]

thats what i was thinking...white wood you read my mind koneco

[AnnieBonnie]

Thank you so much ! Everytime I think of something I find this something here at MTS2!!!!!!!!!! :D

[justmoi]

Oh you wonderful person, you just keep adding to this beautiful set! Thank you so much for the toy box.

[SnowStorm]

As requested I've added a sleigh style crib and white recolors for all the objects.

[mistynix]

It works great and looks fantastic in my game! Thank you! Great idae to do a toddler bed! :D

[angel f]

I have a problem with the sleigh toy box. My adult sims can't put the toys back in. Is this a known problem?

[Jem]

Ooops! I didn't check for that I'll do so today. I laughed when the toddler got out a toy. At first I wasn't sure she would make it back out of the toybox, which is why I forgot to see about the adults putting back the toys. lol

[jay-min]

THIS is WONDERFUL! thank you so much!!

[curlygal606]

there so kewl, fanx. :D

[thesims2!]

carlydunham how did you get that bed with the butterfly thingys and how did you download it?

[Konecoshushi]

As requested I've added a sleigh style crib and white recolors for all the objects.

Thank you for making a white recolor Snowstorm! Your Fantasitcally great!

[SnowStorm]

I have a problem with the sleigh toy box. My adult sims can't put the toys back in. Is this a known problem?

Not until you pointed it out:) I tried it and the mom tried to pickup the toy but then just dropped it again. I did not modify any of the behaviours for this object, so I'm not sure what the problem is. I'll have to put this one on my list to revisit when I understand hacking.

[sissimoody]

Thank you very much for posting this and I love the new crib addition! I especially like the way you've managed to link your object to Maxis covers, etc.

If there is any way to create a matching High Chair please do it! hehe I was wondering if it were possible to have the high chair use the Maxis cushions as well? Or if not to just have a plain wooden matching highchair with wood covers? Pretty please hehe

[SnowStorm]

High Chair is in process:) I will most likely use the maxis cushions unless I run into a problem.

[pippi420]

The cradle in the picture.. which file do I download for that?

[pammats]

What a fun idea thanks so much

[bulldogzbabe]

i would love that but when i downloded it, it comes up saying "windows needs to know wat u want to open this file with". im not too good at this sort of thing, can someone please tell me wat to do?

[Jem]

Pippi420, the craddle is the crib here! So you need to download the SS_Sleigh_Crib.

bulldogzbabe, do you have WinRar? you need it to unzip and install the items. Onlce you get it install them into the download folder inside you sims 2 game.

[wendya2J]

Hi,

any chance anyone knows of some disney bedding to go on these really cool toddler beds????? pooh, mickey, nemo etc,,,thanks!!!

[quodlibetic]

Heck, just some plain colored sheets would be awesome!

[SnowStorm]

As requested here is the High Chair.

[Jem]

another problem with the high chair is this.

I have problems with the dad doing much of anything with the toddler. Mom put toddler into the high chair, feed toddler, and was able to remove toddler. But when dad put toddler into the high chair he couldn't give the bottle to toddler nor could he seem to remove the toddler from it.

I'm going to check this again tonight. I'll post if I find out anything more. It may have just been that dad.

[Emerie]

Toddler Beds are absolutely adorable!

[carol6552]

This just keeps getting better and better. Can't wait to check back again soon.

[sexierjess14]

Great job! Everything looks amazing! :beer:

[sissimoody]

Wow! *Hugging you!* Thank you for making the high chair! I'm running off to download it now! :)

[evilmotherinlaw]

Love your Creations. Thank you for all your hard work it is really appreciated.

[SilkStockings]

This is amazing, thank you! I can't wait for the changing table. :D

[Emerie]

The only problem is when the toddlers start getting cranky, and want to get out of their bed, and they start shaking on the sides of their beds'... But with the regluar crib there are sides to shake on, but this one there are none, so it looks like they are doing some odd zombie dance... :)

[IceAngel12891]

I love all of these! Thank you so much for making them! Have you ever thought of making a sleigh bed & dresser for children (or teens & adults...)?

[SnowStorm]

The single and double sleigh bed are done and in the final stages of testing. I should be posting them tonight. I've just started the Armoire. This may take a bit as it's trickier to do to retain the animations. I'm following a tutorial somebody posted so cross your fingers!

[simsjeanie]

Had the download some days ago, but today I had my first simbaby in your sleigh-collection.
It works perfectly fine and it looks so much better than the Maxis ones.
Thank you so much for doing and sharing!
(And I shall be one of the first to download your sleighbeds ;D )

[SnowStorm]

As promised here are the single and double beds.

[simsjeanie]

Well, here again with my first cup of coffee - and downloading *seemesmilebrighterthanasmiley*
Will try them this morning if possible. (facing a hard weekend with many guests *sigh* I would prefer hugging my sims)

[SnowStorm]

As requested here is the armoire.

I've also updated the high chair and the tray now moves again!

[Lyran]

I am a bit late into this fantastic thread :) There are 2 high chairs. Should I get both or choose one of them? If I should choose, what is the difference?

[simialicia]

awsome i love all of that, thank you so much for sharing that and i am already thinking bout doing a bedding recolour for the baby crib and the toddler bed, i hope that's ok with you snowstorm?

[SnowStorm]

I am a bit late into this fantastic thread :) There are 2 high chairs. Should I get both or choose one of them? If I should choose, what is the difference?

If you've never downloaded then grab the first zip as it contains the recolors for the frame and the cushions.

The second zip is if you've already got the recolors and just need the updated high chair.

awsome i love all of that, thank you so much for sharing that and i am already thinking bout doing a bedding recolour for the baby crib and the toddler bed, i hope that's ok with you snowstorm?

I have no problem with recolors. To do a bedding recolor you would actually create a recolor from the original maxis crib. As both my crib and the toddler bed use it. The toddler bed uses just the lower three panels on the texture for the pillows. I'd suggest linking to this thread if you post the recolors as lots of people seem to be intersted in some. As for the frames, if you wish to recolor those. Please link in this thread so others can use it.

[simialicia]

ok thank you snowstorm for that info and when i upload some recolours i will link it to this thread and thank you again.

[SnowStorm]

Can't wait:)

I've edited the original post to try to clarify the high chair files and add info to help people who want to recolor.

[Jem]

I was trying to do some other bedding but haven'ty gotten anywhere with it. lol All I seen to do is test items and build houses lol. But in here there were a few asking for new bedding sets I think I wrote it down even.

ok was chekcing the last ones lol right now
lol

[corvettewoman]

this set is so neat!!thank you for sharing!!

[giannaiansmom]

Love the sleigh objects!! Two problems, though. With the toybox, the kids go to put the toys away and just keep putting them back on the floor. With the crib, the parents just keep waking the toddlers up and putting them down, them picking them up and putting them back in!!! The toddler bed is great, though!!! They do wake the kids up in that too, but not half as much!!! Thank you for all the hard work!!!

[Jem]

giannaiansmom, when I tested it I found that if you have mom put the kids to bed they stay lol . just seems to be dad's that wont let the kids sleep. Even young master broke not the toddler leaves the kid to sleep. Also I made sure as soon as dad put the kid to bed he had to leave the room. Then he left the kid sleep.

[simialicia]

lol

ok well i have to go out shopping right now so when i get back i'll have a look and see what bedding sets other ppl would like and i'll see what i can do and thanks jem for saying ppl were asking for sets too!

[karrsareus]

This whole set is just beautiful. Thank yo so much for giving me the chance to try it. I have used the toddler bed...works great (dont care about how they pull themselves up), the toy box, same works great (dispose of those darn toys who needs 'um). I am thrilled to see the new beds and dresser...and especially the high chair. I am running off to install and play. Thanks again.
karrsareus

[simialicia]

ok well i just uploded my first bedding recolour i think it is preety basic it's a dora the explorer one plus im working some more recolours too.

[Lyran]

Thank you :)

[cheerleader_diva]

Awesome Job

[PKTrekGirl]

This set is beautiful!!!!! Love it!

[IceManHoran101]

I wish i could download but i can not do rar
Its not rar. its zip.

[JaciFFXI]

Haven't been on in awhile, so haven't had a moment to post, but this stuff looks great!!! Great Job!!!

[Heather_T]

This set is stunning !

I have always wanted a tdddler bed for my little ones....now if I could only figure out how to stop everyone from constantly waking up my toddler just to hold him all the time !!

Thank you for this lovely set!

Heather

[simsjeanie]

Well, I just want to report, that my sims (different sims in different houses) are not able to give the bottle or food to the toddlers sitting in the highchair. Just standing in front of the high chair and "freeze".
So I don't use the highchair now - but the other stuff works fine.

[ambernights21]

I am waiting for a few sets of recolors for the sheets before I download. Need more options. So once that is done I will get the toddler bed. Thanks and nice job on the object!

[SnowStorm]

There are a couple sheet options posted already. (Do a forum search on "sleigh". BUT the bedding uses the same as the Maxis Crib. So any bedding recolor you find for the Maxis crib will show up for the toddler bed and sleigh crib also.

[doozer123]

Thank U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[angellis21m]

This set is beautiful!!! Great job!!!

[KimT]

Thank you been looking for more baby stuff but, no one really makes new crib meshes or, I just can't find them. :)

[l83011141252002]

Love the new toddler bed and all the add-on goodies!
Thank you!

[Braelyn]

Thank you very much :)

[Writin_Reg]

Hi, I tested this set and found a few oddities. For instance once the kids take the toys out of the toy boxes they can't be put back in. When I directed my Sims to put the toys away, the toy box reacted like a dresser and gave me the clothing options to change my childs clothing.

In the high chair - my Sim mom had no problem putting her child in the chair and giving her food, but when I tried getting her to take the child out she just froze. I had the same thing happen with the toddler bed. In both cases I had to repeatedly tell the mom to take the child out. It reminded me of the problem I have in my Sims houses with nannies or dads in the house. Only problem this house has no nanny or other adult. The moms a single mother artist who paints masterpieces from home, and cares for her infant.

The beds and armoire work great and all looks great in the game, but I had to take the toddler bed, toy box, and high chair out, because my toddler spent over half her waking time unable to be removed from them.

Just thought I'd let you know. Your work is so nice to look at, I really hated removing them.

The beds and armoire work great and all looks great in the game, but I had to take the toddler bed, toy box, and high chair out, because my toddler spent over half her waking time unable to be removed from them.

Just thought I'd let you know. Your work is so nice to look at, I really hated removing them.


I've had a couple people report on the freezing. I'm not sure what is up with that. I know about the toy box not letting the toys be put away, but I haven't figured out how to fix that.

Now the toybox acting like a dresser is a new one on me:)

On the high chair which version do you have? Does the tray move on the one you have?

[~Po~]

kinda sorry to make a long thread even longer, but really want to add my thanks. I LOVE that toddler bed!!!!! LOVE IT! Also really like that the toys cannot be put away, what kid doesn't leave their toys laying around?

Don't suppose there's any way to make it so that textures for the maxis toybox are available for yours? That would be purfect!

Also, I appreciate the fact very much that from the way your post is worded you seem to be very organized, always a good sign. Have not yet done any research on those oh so mysterious polygons, but until some brainiac tells me it doesn't matter to my system, could you include polygon count? (just for my own comparision purposes. Let's say I can have 10,000X small poly objects, 1000X medium, and 10X rediculously high for instance and game still runs great. But I need to keep track of those last 10!) And to slip off topic just a tad, why does only a few people seem to care about polygon count? Anybody welcome to pm me with the answer or better yet post a new thread explaining why they're so important. *never mind, putting this in requests forum!

While usually I'm quite silly, I'm a utter freak when it comes to efficiently running processes, and being techno geeky/picky about good file management, etc. No excuse for uploading even a beta test until somebody's done all their possible homework. sorry I'm so anal, know not everyone shares my view (and I too am guilty of getting excited/impatient to do/ask something).

I just wanted to say how fantastic your objects are Snow Storm :D
I have the same problem with the original maxis crib as far as having to keep sending my sims there to pick up the toddler. I'm working on a complete house with pine furniture and have added yours HERE (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?p=399296#post399296)
I haven't completely tryed everything out, will have to get back to you.

Just thought that I'd let y'all know that there is a recolor of a lot of SnowStorm's objects on my site ... Yes, it's VERY pink!! Not all of them are there .. that would have just been waaaaayyyyy too much pink, even for me, and i have 3 girls!!!
Here's a pic and the set is on page 5 of the Sims 2 section!!! Link in signature :D

Great meshes. I really like the armoire...good job and thanks!! :)

[loryivey]

Hi, SnowStorm, I absolutely love your furniture and decor...However, I had to delete the crib and toddler bed because I have found that the parents will not let the toddlers alone if they are in either the crib or bed.

Not sure what is happening, but I have had this happening in two houses until I finally realized it had to be the bed/crib. The toddlers can't seem to get any sleep! This did not happen to infants, only toddlers. And only in rooms with more than one infant or toddler. In the house that I had both an toddler bed and a crib (even if the crib was not sleigh style), the parent/older sibling just kept taking the toddler from the crib to the toddler bed, back and forth. If the infant was in the crib or the toddler bed already they would leave the infant alone but take the toddler out and back in over and over, as long as the toddler was in sleigh style furniture.

I just wanted to let you know, and I'll keep an eye out for updates. Great work aside from my problems!

[chechelle1]

I feel odd spamming this thread with my link, but it says to if I recolored it, so...

I did a light wood recolor on my site that looks really cute with a farm bedding set I also did. You can check it out here (http://www.under-your-skin.com/roomsets.php).

I only did the crib, toddler bed and changing table though. Hope you guys like it :)

[Montana7903]

This is most likely a silly question but i downloaded it but i can't find it in my game.So where is it in the game Thanks in advance

[Sparkle_x]

I dont know if you know this,but if you have dont have Family fun or above,you cant put toys back into custom toyboxes. Numenor has a fix for this at http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=213506.
