Title: retro kitchens: beachhouse and shannanigan (warning: big pix!)
Post by: nixy on April 10, 2008, 03:44:05 pm
Retro recolors of simtomatic's beachhouse kitchen, shannanigan's retro kitchen, the Seasons country counters, and the base game Maxis appliances, along with the useless but adorable stand mixer by cashcraft.

Because my mood lighting does not show the colors - especially the pink - to best advantage, here are samples taken directly from my photoshop files to give you a better idea of how they'll really look in game.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: The beachhouse sink file is a CLONE of the simtomatic sink unit and 1) is not necessary for the recolors to work, and 2) canNOT coexist with the original file. This file is to facilitate a recolor of the porcelain only; the base of the sink unit picks up its colors from the counter master file. I wanted a "worn" porcelain for my kitchens but didn't want to try to figure out how to make a stand-alone clone that would pick up the colors from the original repository files. Therefore, this clone uses the same GUID as the original, so you have to pick one or the other based on the following criteria: simtomatic's file: shiny white / my file: not so shiny, not all that white  :D

Of course, you can always remove my file and put the original back in your game, and all your recolors (including mine) will continue to work.

The pay files are NOT included. They are all easy to find in the TSR booty section.
