I am an inveterate organiser, a prolific downloader and a lover of decorating Sim homes. I was sick to death of spending HOURS looking for just that right cabinet or vase I *KNEW* I had somewhere. I use every single one of these icons and could possibly use more but I made myself stop. The decorative section in particular gives me a real pain in the ASP - now I only use my collections (yes I HAVE put every item in a collection - sick ain't I?)
They are descriptive and each has a uniquegraphic to make flipping through collections easy and its much clearer in game than the pics. Categories are:
animals
art stuff
barstool
bathroom furniture
bathroom deco
bath towels
bedroom deco
blinds
bookshelves

About Me
Use my recolours/lots/hoods whatevers as you like. Fondle them, love them and call them your own - upload to any free site in lots - if you upload to a paysite the Universe will KNOW and get you back - paysites for game items are aberrations and do not reflect the spirit of gaming. I've been ranting about this since TS1 and will continue to do it until TS435 =)
