It Will Last Longer

Finished and working, finally. Yeesh.

I wanted a simple modern frame that I could devote solely to photos of my sims. I wanted it in a bunch of sizes, horizontal and vertical rotations, on walls and surfaces, with two different matte options, and all slaved together. So this is 40 meshes plus two master objects that do not show up in the catalog. You can delete any of the meshes except the two Master meshes and the set will still work, so feel free to mix and match sizes and matte options. I'm also including 58 recolors of the frame. They are frames in Aelia's Jewel tones with white mattes, and white frames with mattes in Aelia's Jewel tones.

You also have the option of downloading 505 recolors of the photo featuring sims from my game. I'm not sure why you would want this, since the whole idea is to put your own sims in... but I know some people aren't used to SimPe: so have at 'em.

Last but not least, a photoshop template for making your own pics.

So that's the important info, but I want to share two other quick notes about these frames. First, they conform to the Down Low project. So the wall versions are not super useful unless you can shift paintings around. The surface ones should still work fine though. I intended these for photo collages, so I've lined up all the meshes so that the bottom edges are even. Like so:

I have also placed them so that if you move them down one click they will reset a height of 1/2 click. If that sentence didn't make any sense, have a picture:

The left frame has been moved up 3 clicks, the right up four clicks, but the center frame went DOWN 1 click then up 4 clicks. See! It's right in the middle of 3 and 4 clicks. It works that way for all of the wall hanging meshes. In order to make that happen for all of the sizes, I had to get rid of the shadows. I thought it was a small price to pay.
Well I think that's it. Enjoy!
Edit: I thought of one more thing! If you make any recolors please let me know. I'd love to both have them and link to them from here.

Date: 2011-09-16 10:33 pm (UTC)This is the tutorial I followed to make my first working recolor: http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=102356 I found it pretty easy to follow. The only change you should need to make is in step 1. Hit open instead of start, and select the appropriate file (one of the two that ends with MASTER depending on the orientation you want). Did I answer the question? If not blame it on my long day at work. If you want more help, I'd be happy to help you with a more step by step tutorial. I just can't do it right this second.
