AL Gear City window made closeable

Another day, another post! Got a backlog of things to post so apologies for the slight barrage this week :) I love the AL Gear City window! It's my favorite window type for apartments, but there's always the question of, do I go with the open one, or the closed one? I love the idea of my Sims getting a fresh breeze, but as someone who lives in Sweden, you definitely don't want a window wide open when there's a thick carpet of snow on the ground. And in apartments, you can't switch it out even if you have the patience to do that every winter. It's a dilemma! My good friend gayars once made a teddybear that changes clothes as the Sims play with it, and from her I learned how to change the appearance of objects through BHAVs, which lead to this creation :) It adds a pie menu interaction to the AL window that lets you switch mesh between open and closed, so that you have a way to make the window open or closed anytime you like without needing to actually replace the window.

Mod is a global add-on to the windows. Replaces TTAB, TTAs, Object - Model Names and adds two BHAVs. Would conflict with other mods that edit the same resources, but I think it unlikely. Four files total, for open/closed and the diagonal versions of the tow. Translated to english, swedish and spanish.

Fwaysims has two wonderful add-on sets to the Gear City windows, which are posted on MTS (Set One and Set Two). I imagine most people who like this window will have grabbed the add-on, so thanks to fway's generous policy I went ahead and gave the same treatment to them :) Please delete your original files, if you already had them. I wish I could have added it globally, but CC objects have all the code internally so have to replace the whole thing :) EDIT: I forgot to mention that prices have been altered slightly. I edited them to make it easier for myself to keep track during the making of them, and I quite like having them appear in catalog in order of size, so I decided to keep it. If you don't like it, I recommend Object Relocator for easy price changing. Original price was 105, my prices range from 96 to 107.

Conflict Notes: Because of how CC windows work, other versions of fway's files will conflict. Ladysilverwolf-sims uses versions by revolvertrooper that repo's all windows to the closed one. I am not interested in merging them, but I made instructions of how you can merge the two yourself, if it is important to you to have all repo'd to the closed version. Instructions here.

Victory Apartment - Watchmen & Valkyrie Recolors

Hi everyone! I'm so excited to share this recolor set today! I adore all of these meshes, and best of all, I finally conquered the repository technique! 🍾 So naturally I made a ton of recolors. XD Swatches, info (important!) and downloads below the cut!

I started this back in April, when I decided to recolor the seating from @kestrelteens' conversion of @awingedllama's Apartment Therapy and realized all three pieces used an identical texture, but redundantly. This seemed like a good opportunity to learn how to repository, so I settled in with a tutorial, got to work...and failed miserably for the next two months. But, after much cursing and wailing and wondering whether I might actually be A Moron, I figured it out and went to work finishing this set.

So! Meshes recolored are:

Couch, loveseat and armchair from Apartment Therapy (loveseat and armchair repo'd to the couch)

Coffee table and dining table from Apartment Therapy (dining table repo'd to the coffee table)

Fluffy blanket from Apartment Therapy

Eye of the Beholder Window conversion by semio (how this beautiful window stayed off my radar for so long I'll never know)

Triomphant Textile curtain conversion by @morepopcorn

Holey Moley Divider conversion by Michelle (right segment repo'd to left)

I apologize in advance for the enormous swatches. There are individual, numbered swatches in the downloads, but I had to combine most of them to stay under Tumblr's image limit.

The seating comes in Watchmen and Valkyrie:

There are also matching curtains, plus 4 with the floral patterns from my Spring Floral Wallpaper set in large and small sizes (these were made with icons from this Plants Icon Pack by Rudiyana over at Flaticon):

The dividers come in Watchmen and Valkyrie, plus 15 colors from The Woods are Lovely (the candles only come in Watchmen and Valkyrie). This is the two piece deco version; I only just realized that @shastakiss posted a functional light version to GoS, so there will be recolors of that in the future as well XD (I really adore this divider):

The tables also come in the same 15 wood colors. I used a new texture for these because the original was giving me a headache and it was easier just to redo it:

The Eye of the Beholder Window comes in Watchmen and Valkyrie:

And the fluffy blanket comes in Watchmen and Valkyrie as well:

Whew! Okay! So now for some 🚨🚨 important information! 🚨🚨 All the meshes are included, but if you already have the seating and/or tables from Apartment Therapy, or the Holey Moley Divider from Michelle's 4t2 Spa Day conversion set, you will need to delete those meshes to use these recolors! You can also delete recolors for the loveseat, armchair and dining table since they'll be redundant.

Lastly, since this is such a huge set, I'm offering separate downloads by color palette, plus one big 'ol download if you want the whole thing. The required meshes are included in each download, so be mindful of that if you're grabbing a couple of parts. Also, the curtains and dividers come with their original recolors since they're packaged up with their meshes.

If I messed anything up, please let me know! This is definitely some new territory for me, plus it's been a lot of files to handle. 😅

DOWNLOAD THE WHOLE SET (SFS) Recolors are ~36.5MB DOWNLOAD WATCHMEN (SFS) Seating, curtains, dividers, window & blanket ~14.5MB DOWNLOAD VALKYRIE (SFS) Seating, curtains, dividers, window & blanket ~11MB DOWNLOAD THE WOODS ARE LOVELY (SFS) Tables & dividers ~7.75MB DOWNLOAD FLORALS (SFS) Curtains ~1.75MB

Lots of love, Spacey

Got a bunch of stuff today, most of Tycho

He's turning into a teen soon so I thought up concepts of what if preteen and teen designs

[gummilutt]

What do you think?

I was on @teaaddictyt stream yesterday and she used a window by Shakeshaft, that I have a unreleased edit of, doing the same thing as I did with the AL window where you can open or close the shutters :) I hadn't planned to release it as it seemed a bit niche, but I guess people still like em, so I will try to get those posted eventually.

But, Tea also mentioned she loves auto open/close stuff, which is such a great idea that I just hadn't thought of yet. So now I'm planning to also implement an auto open/close feature on both AL, and the Bourbon set by Shakeshaft that has shutters.

For my own game, I'm thinking I just want shutters to close at night, and open in the morning. No seasonal changes, and add a pie menu toggle to turn off auto open/close. Possibly limited to open version, as if you picked closed you probably want it to be closed and having manual control in pie menu is enough. For AL window, I'm a little less decided. I'm thinking maybe edit only the open variety, and have it set to close in winter, and maybe if I can get fancy have it check temp in spring to be open or closed depending on temperature, and always open in summer. That way people can use the closed version when they don't want auto-open/closing, and if they have previously placed open ones in apartments those will close in winter at least.

If anyone has thoughts/opinion I'd love to hear under which circumstances you would want a window to open or close, and shutters open or close. I can't promise I will do it, but I'd love to get a feel for what people actually want so I can try to somewhat match that :)
