wof83g.jpg - width=1280 height=800
Wheel Of Fortune 1981 (Puzzle Board). Time to stun you with the poly count. Had lots of unnecessary faces and vertices removed, during testing.
wof83h.jpg - width=1280 height=800
Wheel Of Fortune 1981 (Puzzle Board). Yes, 8,656 faces for all 52 trilons, lights, and frame COMBINED.
wof83i.jpg - width=1280 height=800
Wheel Of Fortune 1981 (Puzzle Board). And 14,008 vertices for all the pieces COMBINED.

Wheel Of Fortune 1981 (Puzzle Board). You have to make the puzzles.
wof83k.jpg - width=1280 height=800
Wheel Of Fortune 1981 (Puzzle Board). Try planning it out in your head first, or plan it on paper instead.
wof83e.jpg - width=1280 height=800
Wheel Of Fortune 1981 (Puzzle Board). During live mode, click the lights for the pie-menu options.
wof83f.jpg - width=1280 height=800
Wheel Of Fortune 1981 (Puzzle Board). These trilons do not have a revolving animation. Don't know how to make animations.
wof83o.jpg - width=1280 height=800
Wheel Of Fortune 1981 (Puzzle Board). Should be all lumped together....but not in order. Something about how they're placed in folders make a difference.
wof83p.jpg - width=1280 height=800
Wheel Of Fortune 1981 (Puzzle Board). These lights have about the same poly stats as the frame in the next picture.
wof83q.jpg - width=1280 height=800
Wheel Of Fortune 1981 (Puzzle Board). This is considered the frame.
wof83n.jpg - width=1280 height=800
Wheel Of Fortune 1981 (Puzzle Board). Did you not read the messages on the puzzle board? There's nothing to see here!
wof83l.jpg - width=1280 height=800
Wheel Of Fortune 1981 (Puzzle Board). Check out my banner to see what NCI stands for.
wof83m.jpg - width=1280 height=800
Wheel Of Fortune 1981 (Puzzle Board). Yes, I do not want to see this on other websites. Understand?

EDIT 1 (September 5, 2015): Added support for Turkish Alphabet trilons.
EDIT 2 (October 2, 2015): Below is a list of places featuring talk or video of the Puzzleboard. Go check out the links to see what people are doing about this object!
EDIT 3 (December 14, 2015): The files were incompatible with the base-game, apparently. Adding the previous iteration of the puzzle board frozen your game on the loading screen. Now these files have been tested, thanks to recent MTS member, MineKarterX (appreciate your testing of the items). The files take up approximately the same amount of space on your hard drive. Enjoy the puzzle board, once again. Just overwrite your currently folders for the Disk Of Karma puzzle board.
From Youtube Video 1 (by Brian Fortuna)
Update 05/19/2016: The game now has its Prize Wheel to make this show complete. Now all you need to do is set up a studio with lights and prizes! Download the Prize Wheel HERE.
After many months of no uploads, one of many game show projects is finally done for your Sims to use (and for you to film, if wanted). From the fine folks at NCI, introducing a set piece replica from an iconic American TV show. It's...

This set piece occupies 7 tiles long, 1 tile wide (2 tiles recommended at least). It holds up to 53 slots for trilons (the triangular prism objects) & the lighting. Please consult the pictures for more information about the object.

Here are the object's limitations
______________________________________________________________________
1) Model/Letter turner is not included, make a Sim if desired.
2) No revolving animations for the trilons. Instead, use the pie-menu in live mode to interact with the objects.
3) No interactive animations from the Sim towards the trilon objects (e.g. no touching animations towards the trilon).
4) When placing an object onto the puzzle board with "testingcheatsenabled true", an error message will pop up saying the Slot number is out of range, unless the object is placed in the middle of the object's footprint. Turn off "testingcheatsenabled true" when placing trilons onto the puzzle board to avoid the error message from occuring.
5) When filming, the flashing lights can look speeded up. The lights are set for 12 frames per second recording. Use an external program to film the board rather than in-game, unless you configure the in-game video capture files to run at 12 fps.
6) You may only use the "M" key on your keyboard to move up to 6 slots further. I do not know how to make it so that you can freely move to other slots after 6 empty spaces.
Try these out, and enjoy making puzzles for your Sims to solve. The first slot occurs on the top left, and moves to the right, then the next line. Please the lighting after you place your 48 trilons. If you wish, add the 4 corner trilons after the lighting to fill up the board. These files were cloned from base game objects, and should be compatible from base game onwards. All textures & meshes were worked on by me.
Total cost ranges from $4,940 to $5,000 for this set piece.
The Trilons are located in the Decorative -> Miscellaneous section of the catalog for $15 each.
The Frame is located in the Electronics -> Miscellaneous section of the catalog for $4,000.
The Lights are located in the Lighting -> Miscellaneous section of the catalog for $220.
To see some of the action from a the puzzle board (with a previous texture), see how it looks here on YouTube:
