This is a new mesh recolour, and means that you will need to download the particular mesh itself in order for this to show up in your game. See the Meshes Needed section or read the text for more information.

Painting Recolors for the Grand Trianon Collection

Enjoy some paintings by artists from around the world. The falcons, for instance, are from India.

Paintings simmified by Tiggerypum

The paintings are named with the painters name in the filename
The actual paintings can be found at http://www.novica.com/
(except for Vincent van Gogh's)

You MUST HAVE the horizontal and vertical painting and the floor mirror
(yes 3 objects) from the original Grand Trianon bedroom set available at Mod the Sims2

http://www.modthesims2.com/showthre...?threadid=76172

Put the paintings into your downloads folder
Each painting is individual, so you can delete any that you do not like
and not effect the rest of the Grand Trianon Collection.

All woods colors that you have downloaded for the Grand Trianon Collection will be available as frames for these paintings.
I simply used the original light wood that came with the set in the screenshots.

New - Aug 28 - You can find KID THEMES here: http://www.modthesims2.com/showthre...?threadid=86859

Enjoy!

These are wonderful! You made some really great choices. I haven't checked all of them in game but quite a few. So far, I haven't found a single one that I would delete. Really great job! Thank you!

They are very beautiful, all of them. My favourites are the Van Gogh: they actually look better then the originals :D

Nice work!

Beautiful, they are perfect in my arts museum..........Question though....How did you do this? :confused: I have been trying to put art in the trianon frames as well but I am new to using Simpe, how do I get them to show up in my template? I have just been using the frames that are already in the game. I have downloaded the complete trianon collection so I have everything to make them work. HELP! :Puppy:

In short, I used Object Workshop in SimPE. I initally learned how to use it with this tutorial by RGiles: http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=34399

I use the NVidia DDS utilities, not 'import'. Numenor added a link to info about it in RGile's tutorial. I wish we'd have one tutorial with it all in place, maybe I'll have to write it.

Anyway, I told object workshop to make a recolor, and all I picked was the picture itself, not the glass. The picture is marked with 'put your photo here' or something like that.

Details, including how to change the glass on the paintings to not be there (I noticed little difference when the paintings were on the wall in my game, but the catalog pics look 'faded' in my game if there is glass on the picture)

I hope this helps. PM me if you have more questions.

How do you recolor new meshes?

Hate the player...not the game. :)
