Hiya. I need some old-timey computing equipment, to wit: any sort of tape-drive computers like you see in movies from the 60s... or was it the 70s? I think 60s might still have been punch-card computing. ANYhow...
I'd have to believe that it would not be functional, since I don't think Sims can use computers standing up, and in fact really wouldn't even have to be an actual 3D object at all... some wallpaper-type thing - perhaps a photomural - would suit me just fine. If actual earthbound antique computing technology is not to be found, I would accept sci-fi, as long as it was clunky-looking, as opposed to overly glitzy. Think Doctor Who from the 1970s, as opposed to that thing they call Doctor Who today.

Picture example below (which is obviously of the earthbound-type) ...

So this one? https://gardenofshadows.org.uk/gard...hp?topic=9861.0 Files look fine to me, maybe you can take a screenshot.

That's the one, and it's in my downloads folder. I dunno, it's probably fine. I guess it might be a Mac thing: some package files have a gray "screen" icon, with the word "exec" written on them (indicating that they were intended for a Windows-based system?), and some just have the generic "paper file" icon. It probably doesn't actually make any difference... it's just that in my experience, the downloads that don't work mostly tend to have the generic icon... again, not that it's a direct correlation. ANYHOW, I cannot for the life of me find that terminal in my catalog. It's not with the computers, and it's not with the sculptures. I'll look again. I can't really recall whether it's actually supposed to function as a computer. Maybe it's really a table lamp or something.

@joandsarah77 - I think I know what the problem is: that fallout computer terminal object is only set to appear in residential lots, and I kind of want to use it in my public library, as a catalog computer. Growing up, my local library had a microfilm-based catalog, which was actually not as fast or easy to use as the plain old card system, and must've been a real pain in the neck to update, I'd imagine. Later on, we got some actual catalog computers, and they looked a little like the fallout terminal. I think it's odd that it's not community-lot approved, given the nature of some of the other stuff in that fallout collection. I don't have SimPE, or I'd try fiddling with it.

Try this

Thanks so much for that! This is just how I remember them. Still hoping someone will find me some more stuff like this. But I think they look pretty good.

Only needed a number changing. Matches to the 4t2 cabinets well.

I've tested most of the download links as I wouldn't mind having computers that don't look so modern for my PEC and BACC.

Should be checked if they are updated for FT/AL.

Edit: the "Sinclair" computer from Numenor is indeed everything it claims to be. The Ghostbusters game even has 80s-style video game music. Very impressive, and totally plug-and-play. Unreal.
