I guess that was part of the reason I made it. Now I guess I'll have to do a few other colors, before this one gets tiring.

I guess I got lucky... The cheap telescope isn't as easy to recolor. The tex map makes no sense.

I was thinking about doing other colors but, I need to figure out how to get the recolors to go under the same catalog entry. SimPE Wizards won't even touch half the stuff I want to recolor so I have to do it the hard way.

I'll keep working on it, any suggestions that might help are welcome.

I will keep that in mind... I still have to figure out how to get the recolors to go into the same entry in the catalog. I'm already working on new color ideas though.

The recolors were easy... Figuring out why SimPE doesn't work completely on my system is another story. It's a good thing that I have access to another computer that SimPE works correctly on.

I'm open for new recolor ideas, this one was something I haven't seen anyone do a recolor for.

I'll give it a shot...

***EDIT***UPDATE***
Well I gave it a shot and this is what I got. Amazing what one small square can change in a tex map.
***NOTE***
"CHR" in the file names are the darker colors.

I have this thing with colors... for some odd reason I can just make them work together. I have also seen some actual telescopes with most of these color patterns. I don't think I have seen one in pink though.

That's great. I wish I could do stuff with that, but I seem to be talented in other areas... As for telescopes, I can't say I've seen many along the lines of these.

And I love your signature. It's something my father says occasionally.

Thankyou. I've been searching all morning for something a little steampunky for my victorian sims & these recolours look fabulous.


Also, before I get carried away, I have used your telescope recolours in the observatory I am about to upload. If you would like me to not include them as part of the upload, please let me know(by pm as I'm notorious at not cehcking back on threads I'v replied to) & I'll edit my upload accordingly.

Thankyou so much once again. These recolours are gorgeous & add immensely to the look & feel of my hood.
