Buy Mode Blitz: ATS Cat Cafe Cat Bed & Thunderwitch Yarn Ball Cat Toy

A combo post, because it took me so darned long remember that, for Reasons I Guess, the 'summon spectral cat' spell does not show in the spellbook, it's just... on the mage. "Oh," I says, "he must not have it yet. Oh well. Keep studying!" So once I finally got the danged cat, I was not waiting longer than necessary to line up the title card shot.



Both the Around The Sims Cat Cafe cat bed and Thunderwitch's Yarn Ball cat toy come in my usual deluxe crayon box of 82 Pooklet Project Mayhem naturals, Aelia Autumn, and CuriousB Any Color You Like actions, with the bed being done in a shaded Magpie Linen and the ball of yarn over a new wool-yarn texture. That I did not save in any useful-for-crediting way. Well done me. ( Read on! )

Behold the Tip Jar!

In case you feel like dropping me a buck or two, should you have a buck or two to spare. I don't do pay content and I can't seem to get requests done in a timely fashion, so donors get a link to the Super Secret Cat Gallery (you help feed my cats, you get to see lots and lots of pictures of my cats) and my to-do list Google doc, in case there's anything on there that makes a donor go 'oooh, when are you working on that one?'

Buy Mode Blitz: Sim-Ages Antique Dining

The Sim-Ages Antique Dining set was texture-referenced-- small chair to tall chair-- by the inimitable Darkmoon, and I will admit right here in the header that it is nowhere near the most historically-accurate piece in all of Buy Mode Blitz... but that is a fourteen-seat dining table right there. The only other way to do that is with modular tables. How could I resist?



Furnish the greatest of great halls with 20 Pooklet Project Mayhem Naturals applied to wood subsets, in a blend of the original textures and Piggi's Wood 03 (as this was before I started using my Piggy 03/SDA Kitchen blend), and the table runners and chair cushions come in my usual deluxe crayon box of 82 Pooklet Natural, Aelia Autumn, and CuriousB Any Color You like shades over a simple lozenge-pattern brocade suitable for MANY eras-- plus the original fabric color, too, as it turned out so nice. The table even comes with a bonus invisible recolor for the runner, because that seemed like a good idea. ( See more! )

Mua haha hahahh!

So there I am, looking at a bunch of stuff I've recolored that has gone Funky under indoor lighting, and I didn't notice until I was trying to take title card pics because my swatch lot is just. Walls on two sides.

"Man," I says, "Man, I wish I knew why the originals looked fine in the original screenshots, but in my game they look like a lowered wall item with a too-big shadow mesh. I wonder if it's my lighting mod or...

"... or...

"... Hang on a second."

Plonked one of the problematic items onto a shiftable OMSP, lifted it up a couple clicks, IT IS THE INDOOR SHADOW MESH. Which means a) Apartment Life shifting is to "blame" and b) the fix will be a lot faster than replacing 326 TXMTs and c) it's the sort of meshfix I may actually be able to fix myself. Possibly. By slapping HP's Placeholder Mesh in there.

This is very exciting! I may in fact be able to get all of Buy Mode Blitz shared by the end of the month!

Buy Mode Blitz: Exquisite Food Judging Table (FT)

The Free Time Exquisite Food Judging Table comes in 85 Medievalish tablecloth colors-- Pooklet's Project Mayhem Naturals, Aelia's Autumn, CuriousB's Any Color You Like, and to round out the linen look, Aelia's Eco Ecru, Beige, and Vanilla, all over Magpie's linen, with a tonal quatrefoil embroidery pattern and Piggi Wood 03 on the signage.



I had a LOT of trouble with this one! First I struggled to shade it, then it turned out I had an outdated version of CEP installed and I thought this table was just kinda broken. But! I did eventually get it to work! ( Come see! )

... Why are these like this. Why.

Why are you doing this to me, 8ksims objects.



How is this happening. Why is this happening. Every object in this image is wearing a Time Bomb recolor, and the only differences are where it is in relation to a wall or a window (and sometimes rotation).

I don't feel good about releasing them like this. Maybe it is a TXMT issue? Anybody know offhand?
