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 First I struggled to shade it, then it turned out I had an outdated version of CEP installed and I thought this table was just kinda broken.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!



The embroidery runs into some odd mapping problems on two of the corners (two of the front corners. The back corners, where the food judge stands, is fine, of course, because Maxis). However, the tablecloth needed SOME kind of detail; I tried to follow the shading from the original and found it only lines up with the tablecloth folds on the sides, I tried to skip shading entirely but the linen texture looked flat despite all the draping, I tried following the UV map to make shading of my own but gave up when it just looked streaky.



This is the same embroidery pattern I used on CTNutmegger's tablecloths, so they do coordinate nicely, at least! (They're not a perfect match, because darkening the embroidery enough to totally match would have drawn even more attention to Weirdly Mapped Spots, but they're pretty darned close.)



I do not have any indoor shots of this object for you. In fact I do not have any in-use shots where the sun is hitting the front of this object, because I am a fantastic planner. (Also, everyone at this table is weird somehow. The ones wearing normal Medieval clothes are secretly merfolk.)



Is this a Medieval object? ... No. No it is not. If you use my Eight Linen colors (Pooklet Time Bomb, CuriousB Milk, Aelia Eco Ecru, CuriousB Oyster, Aelia Eco Vanilla, Pooklet Primer, Aelia Eco Beige, and Pooklet Grenade), then as a covered table, it's... fine, but I'm pretty sure food contests were not a thing? Maybe they were and I know nothing?

But Sims with Cuisine enthusiasm roll wants to win cooking contests, which meant this needed recolors. It is my job to provide a full crayon box of 82-- 85, in this case-- colors for you, not to figure out how you might use a cooking contest judging table in, say, Fission.

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?'
