Lantern Pack [Updated]
here are some Far East style lanterns I've made - and the rope set to place these on!
All base game compatible.
If you have IKEA SP, you can pick alternative light settings,

that use IKEA candle light (very warm, reddish tones).
I recommend it for the Festive Set and hanging lanterns.
The base-game friendly meshes use yellowish light -
IMO it's better suited for medium and large wooden table lantern,
if you intend to use these outside, on green lawns etc.
Update 02.01.21: Corrected Large Lantern Rope pole lenght.
Update 11.08.21: Fixed Lucky Shrine Garden Light - now it can be recoloured
- if you have old version, you can see two recolours for base game Swing-arm Floor Lamp that shouldn't be there.
Versatile Lantern Rope Set
Outdoor cords for ceiling lamps:
Buy Mode/Lighting/Miscellaneous
Versatile Lantern Rope - 29 S - The required mesh. Has five placement slots.
Slant Versatile Lantern Rope - 30 S - 6 slots
Large Versatile Lantern Rope - 31 S - 13 slots, cloned from Bayon coffee table by
Moune999
Wall Bracket for Ceiling Lamps (and other stuff*) - 11 S - includes a few recolors, 1 slot, shiftable with AL.
- with this bracket you can 'hang' ceiling lamps on outside walls, trees, poles..
*When I tested it with UNI+NL only,
hanging plants didn't move into the right spot.
All these are in fact 1-tile objects. To "hang" ceiling lamps, you always move it to the area where the green square shows up:
After you've filled the slots, you can place it on shiftable OMSPs to adjust the height -
and remove one or both poles by picking a right recolor.
Indoor Use:
There's one issue: objects placed on cords or brackets usually look too dark indoors,
that happens because the actual placement slots are located below the floor level.
Sometimes that can be corrected by placing the whole object on a shiftable OMSP shelf,
and moving it down to where you want it.
Festive Lantern Set:
Buy Mode/Lighting/Ceiling Lamps
Festive Lantern - 175 S - the required mesh. Includes five color options.
Round Festive Lantern - 173 S

Chinese Riddle Lantern - I've included a few recolors for this base-game lamp.
Wood & Paper Lantern Set:

Tiny Andon - 130 S
Medium Andon - 132 S
