Tink's Fireplace ~ Functional Version
 

Tinkle at Black Pearl Sims made a decorative fireplace that I really like. I somehow got it into my head that a functional version might be wanted, so with her permission..here's the functional version of that fireplace.



There are 9 recolors included - five of those are Kim's original recolors for Tinkle's version, 2 are Maxis textures (as is the default red brick) and the other 2 random ones I picked out.

If you have Tinkle's version, both can be used in game at the same time. Since I remapped her mesh, added the logs and ten slots, I didn't reuse her GUID's. My version can be found in Appliances>Misc for 499 simoleons.

I've played with this fireplace for the last 3 weeks. The only issue is the animations (see attached pics)- they are off just a tad when lighting/poking. I tried to minimize the clipping as much as I could. The warm self animation is fine, and I have to say it's awfully cute when a sim is warming his/her behind.

Recolors are more than welcome, hope your sims enjoy their new fireplace! (Mine used to laugh at it, but he got over it eventually and seems to appreciate it, lol.)

A huge thanks to Huge Lunatic for fixing a light issue for me.

OK, so I've imposed a moratorium on myself for downloading custom objects, sticking to Maxis recolors instead. But I have to have this, especially since it has all those lovely slots. Thank you! I think...

Wow! I love this... Keep telling myself 'Must-Stop-Downloading' But... Wow! Just got to have this. Great Job.

*snags* These turned out very well. Great job! :D

Wow, they're here - loved watching the progression in the CFF. Thank you.

Very nice indeed Thank you.

What an appropriate download for a snowy day. (At least it's snowy where I am today. ) This is a beautiful fireplace and will receive much use in my game. Thank you.

Very nicely done!

That's what was missing in that lovely mesh! Great work! Thank you very much!

Yay, Thanks! Now I'm really tempted to finally use this fireplace

Thank you!
This fireplace is nice!
Thank you for making it functional.

Thank you (and Tinkle) for really awesome work! I love it!

(Well, so much for taking a nap, lol. It turned into a real sleep. Good thing I didn't have to work tonight.)

Thank you so much for the comments and you're welcome. Thanks to HL for the light fix and the queue mod for thinking it could be fixed, too. (You two are awesome!)

iCad- it'll still be a custom object, but f it makes you feel any better, I think there was talk of Maxis match stucco recolors.

MacApple- it's snowy here, too. And cold! It makes me want to crawl into my test sim's neighborhood. I'd much rather light a fire on a cooler night after playing on the beach than have to light one just to be warmer, lol.

Hi Mustluvcatz: Just downloaded your fireplace. I love the design of it. I looked at the pictures, in re to the animations, but I personally didn't see a problem. Even if they are a little off, the fireplace is still fantastic. Thanks so much, for making this a usable fireplace.

It's stinking hot over here in Australia, but I still want it!

Thanks so much to you both.

They are beautiful fireplaces! Thank you so much!

Functional + lotsa slots + pretty recolours = love. I just want to curl up in front of it together with my dog, especially since winter has finally remembered it's January and it's supposed to be snowy and cold up here in the north. Thank you!

Another brilliant item from you, thankyou so much

very nice, thank you well done

shahannah: thanks for mentioning the animations. Yes, they're off a bit- but that didn't really bother me too much. You're welcome & thanks!

NixNivis, Pomerani, allybaba, ekrubynaffit: You're welcome and thank you!

off topic: Brilliant..hmm..I just recently found out that my oldest & dearest thinks I'm wasting my talent making stuff for free for a game and should get a real job designing stuff. I'd hate to tell him this, but I like doing what I do and couldn't see HAVING to do it for a living. Ill keep the job I have and keep my hobby. Thankies for the compliment, ekrubynaffit.
