Illuminated Sign in Day time and Night Time
If you want your shop to stand out on the High Street, don't just have a plain ordinary sign - what you really want is an illuminated shop sign.
This base game compatible illuminated shop sign is designed to fit snuggly just above the top of your shop door and windows, and for this reason it is six tiles in width. If you would like other sizes, please let me know.
It can be found in Decorative/Misc, along with the various other shop signs.
Of course the real power of illuminated advertising happens at night time, after dark is when your shop will now really stand out.
Colour choices
This package has one very basic sign and two sets of recolours. I was asked to make both Simlish and English versions of the signs, but I do suspect that most people will only want one or the other, but not both. So there is a package of English signs and a package of Simlish signs to match. The base object has a single colour with no text - really it's just there as a place holder - but I had to make a design with no writing on it which was a little odd for me as I imagined these signs mainly in order to put big writing on them. Since the recolours are actually bigger than the object, hopefully this means you have less stuff in your download folder than if I had put both lots of recolours (Simlish and English) in the package and not bothered with the default sign. If you actually like the default sign then even better!
Each recolour package comes with the base object and four different sign designs - two of them designed to match pre-existing Maxi shingles. If you want both sets of recolours, you can safely delete the duplicate copy of the base object that you will obtain by downloading both.
Want your own signs - not learned to recolour yet?
First step is designing a sign - I'm no good at that. If you would like to see your own sign designs appear as recolours of these signs, grab the template sign from the download tab and "colour it in" using your favourite paint program keeping the design inside the border line. Send it to me and I will make you a recolour.
Cheers
