I was bored half out of my mind and decided to give the Holy Simoly Phoenix Cushions a try and see if I could come up with something. I did this just to see if I could do it.

That's what being totally bored does.

But, it worked!

LOL, Ed! That's pretty funny, actually. Great job, too! You're getting pretty good at this.

Oh, hey. Not to spam your thread or anything, but I just remembered I was trying to find the basic kitchen set you used in Victoria's house. I wanted to use it in my Rainbow Legacy since it comes in so many different colors, but I couldn't find it. Where'd ya get it?

I got it over at MTS2.

BuggyBooz Basic Kitchen Set.

I tried getting you the link, but the site is acting up.

EDIT: Here's the link. I finally got through. Basic Kitchen Set

That set came from here.

You have to link back to the meshes.

Thanks, Ed. I've never heard of LaLunaRossa.

I won't use the mesh to create for Sugah's Place, as I believe in only using meshes I can INCLUDE with my recolors.
I think I'll just use it for my own personal use. Maybe I'll share the screenshots of my recolors here.
Then, if anyone likes them, I'll just zip up the files & meshes and send 'em thru email.

Sending through the mail sounds like a plan to me!

Here's the rest of the cushions I recolored. Michael I did last.

The nice thing about their Phoenix LivingRoom Set is, if you recolor the sofa, you automatically recolor all the rest of the seating in the set. Sofa, LoveSeat, chair and the diningroom chair also. This is their dining room chair.

Keep in mind, I only did the cushions.

BuggyBooz had her account hacked and files stolen......

This is over at Black Pearl

According to her, it may have been a Feature Artist over at TSR, but sure yet.

UPDATE: It seems like Thomas over at TSR hacked into her site at MTS2. Reason being, she uses the same password at both places. Catch up on all this over at PMBD. You don't have to join to read the posts.

That Thomas is such a jerk! I have nothing good to say about him. How lowdown and sneaky can you get? He runs TSR like a communist country. You're not allowed to say anything bad or you risk losing your membership, and then to stab your creators in the back? I know she's not the first creator he's had that he's done that, too. Prick. I'm so sorry for BB.

Anyhoo - your chairs look great! Nice job.

Thank you for the link. MTS2 wasn't working correctly yesterday - their downloads/uploads were offline, but I'll try again today. I'm so thankful for the 'download all' version - otherwise my head might start to spin at all the different things to download, lol.

Ari, why didn't you just ask me to email the set to you? I would've done it and sent everything.

I decided to redo Michael's loft again...Found this great bedroom set.....

I'm not happy with the floor. But, the design on the wallpaper matches the floor.

Get a load of this.......

Is that tacky or what?!!? It's a distorted keyboard. Found the picture online and said to myself, "self, that would make an interesting looking cushion."

It doesn't end there......This is the diningroom set.

Tacky, huh? Extreme? Way overboard? Too much?

This is his music room. Now, the picture was made for me. One of the ladies over at Black Pearl sent me a message with a link. She made a bunch of Michale McDonald pictures for me. I thought that was so nice of her. This is one of them.

I popped the piano on the other side of the wall. I did that so you could see the picture. I don't think I'm going to leave it there. Come to think of it. I've got that other one of Michael and Vittorine.

This is the other side of the livingroom.

You can see the piano.

Plus, I learned how to use PhotoStudio to make pictures. Two clicks and you're done. Don't have to mess with Wizards of SimPE and export then import. Copy or paste. Click picture, pick the new image you want to use, then save. All done. Fast, quick and painless.

Aw, thanks, Ed. But not a biggie. The download all button was a lifesaver, lol. I now have the kitchen set in use and really like it. However, if you could point the way to some recolors, I'd be most obliged.

Very nice! I really like the bedroom, floor and all. I think the whole set works together and makes a nice room. And I don't think the dining room is too tacky or overwhelming - I think it looks just great! Nice job.

Let me hunt down the recolors that I have and email them to you.

I'll do it later on today.

I read about Buggy's incident over at Sims Divine last week and posted my thoughts there.
It makes me sick to my stomach what this Thomas thinks he can get away with. This is going BEYOND crossing the line...simply DESPICABLE.
What I don't get is, how can he continue to get away with this kind of nonsense???

Anyhoo...I see you are at it again, Sir Edward.
I'm thinking I've liked previous decorating colors a tad more.
I think my fave was the masculine browns/blacks/neutrals. Really liked what you did with the whole place using that color scheme.
Of course, it's all according to personal taste.
Your seat cushions with the distorted keyboard are a hoot!
I really like those dining and living room set meshes. I do believe they're amongst my faves.

Congrats on recoloring using Photostudio. I've been recoloring paintings using SimPE.
How different is the process? It's pretty easy, as far as copying and pasting the image, like you'd do any recolor, right?

This is how it works:

In SimPE on top towards the right, you'll see a camera icon, click on that. If you don't have the templates, download them.

Then you'll get a box that pops up with the different choices of pictures (templates) from the game. Pick one you want to use, then hunt for the picture/image you want to use as a recolor. Always make sure you have preview checked. Then click on I think it's called finish. Let SimPE do its thing and when it's done, click on the png file and your new picture will show up.

It's already updated for all sizes, but I do it anyway. And, I click on, Commit. But, remember, you still have to save the file.

Somwhere in all that, you'll have to give your file a name. Can't remember at what part.

You don't even have to cut and paste. PhotoStudio eliminates that.

That Michael McDonald picture was done using PhotoStudio.

Sounds like a piece of cake! You did a good job on that Michael McDonald pic, btw.

Thank you for sharing this with me, Ed. I'm definitely going to explore the possibilities it brings to SimPE!
