Hi again! :D

So, Victor had a new vision.



Victor is the kind of serious (freak?) sim, getting his maximum pleasure with all the things stimulating his Logic skills, and the recent dartboards were a little stretch for him, so he felt like making something closer to his style for set #5 : chess tables. And he also wanted special outdoors seating, and a little coffee table for the player's refreshments. As he enjoys spending whole evenings at playing chess with his wife, comfy in their pjs, they like to have something to sip nearby.

There's already a whole Maxis set for that. But it's an opportunity to broaden Victor's collection of nice items. Have a look!



So the whole set here consists of 13 items :
4 Patio Plastic chairs,
4 Chess Tables (called "Chess Boards" on the picture in the bin),
and 5 Coffee Tables.

Maxis recolors, Basegame stuff - no EP needed, no mesh needed. Simple stuff, like Victor likes. Soft on your sim's wallet too, cheap stuff looking good.

Find the Chairs
Comfort -> Dining Room -> PatioPlastics Dining Chair §80

Find the Chess Tables
Hobbies -> Recreation -> King for a Day Outdoor Chess Table §399

Find the Coffee Tables
Sufaces -> Coffeetable -> Simple Structure End Table §60

Chess tables are all made of wood, with a dark metal leg, and a cute little accent on the bottom of the leg.
Chairs seats and backrests are made of wood, chairs' frame is made of metal, either in tones of iron or gold, with anti-rust.
Coffee tables are made of either wood or metal with anti-rust. Feel free to consult the picture bin for more informations.



Victors colors match with Maxis stuff :
(This information gets less and less important since this collection of 7 sets, once finished uploading, will contain enough items on its own and won't really need any additions...)

Walnut matches with a lot of medium wood Basegame outdoors items, plus my medium wood Asian Project walls.
Cherry Wood matches with a lot of red Basegame, red OFB furniture,
Dark Oak matches with the darkest UNI furniture.
Ironical Dark Grey matches with the black OFB furniture.

Our uploads (Victor and I, gotta include the old man) are regrouped for your convenience. You can pick them by color, by type of item, or pick them all at once! Files are tiny, don't worry about your precious disk space. This set has an awesome disk space/quality ratio.




I hope you like. Feel free to leave your comments on this set or the whole "Victor" collection.
Enjoy!

Wine and glasses is a decorative item made by Mango Sims. If anyone is interested in getting it, check their "Valentine" set ("Livingrooms" page 3).

I am completely loving Victor's sets, but this batch no matter what file I try to DL gives me a 404 error. It may be related to the recent downtime, so I'll try again later. But all five sets so far look very nice billielith.

EDIT SEVERAL HOURS LATER: Still getting the 404 error. You might want to let the mods know.

Thanks people, I'll check that.

EDIT(10 min later) : FIXED! Everything seems to work now - please re-download.

Thanks a lot for your compliments people! You're really cool, and I will soon upload my 2 last mini sets for this collection!

I love all your sets so far and I can't wait to see the other two

Thanks toniad31, Victor will be happy. :P
There's some extra parts to this set that I'll post in some other places, when all is ready I'll link you to them.

These are so gorgeous, but they don't appear to my game :/ maybey I should re-download them

Did you install the latest CEP? Object recolors don't appear the way they should if your CEP isn't properly installed. The objects here should be hidden under the cheapest Chess table and cheapest chair

Update. If you recently installed any part of the Sims 2 game, or SimPe, or whatever that interacts with the game content, you might have to reinstall your CEP, even if you did it before. It happened to me this week.

While I did thank you for this collection of items eons ago, I wanted to leave a comment of thanks as well. I've used a few of your recolours in several of my lots (especially the wood ones) and I wanted to thank you for sharing them. And of course all things pirate are welcomed in my personal download archives. I've always been a huge fan of well done Maxis recolours and wanted to thank both you and Victor for the generous donations to our Simming community!

I appreciate that you stopped by to leave a comment. I am glad that you like my 'Victor' furniture items enough to use them in your lots; iCad makes awesome wood recolors also, but our palettes are different so mine can still be useful. Victor will be glad. ^^ I think you're a generous creator as well. Your 100 lots must have been a lot of work!
