Lee, have I told you lately that I love you?

(I totally do.)

All this because of a silly suggestion! I should be ashamed, making you go to all this effort... but I know you enjoy it really =P

Terrific job! Thanks!

You have suddenly caused me to start playing TS2 again.

Thank you :3

aww, now if I just had ikea stuff. This is so brilliant!

If I had the Ikea SP I'd download those bookshelves but I'll happily take the deco books. My game always needs more clutter especially of the book variety. :D

Er wow and thanks for the thanks and comments. I thought that as these were sims2 I would upload them and they would live in a dark little corner of the site doomed to oblivion.

I will do a repo emptied version of a base game bookcase too as there appears to be call for it

EDIT - see below - joninmobile has volunteered! Yay Jon!

Amazing...thank you.

Oh I love it Lee, I began playing ts2 again just to have this thanks so much! I may make this for the other bookshelves if I can learn how to do it.

That's an awesome idea Jon. These base game book cases really are base - the only reason you need IKEA is because they are repository technique colours linked to an SP item. If you put them in a base only game they would flash blue - but not crash.

You are WELCOME to clone these and use them as a base. (Thats applicable to everyone who wants to make them). This is what you do:

Clone the bookcase (the one in this file)
Get a mesh, and swop it in
(If you empty a maxis item you may have to remap a little - they were lazy and painted the shadows on the bookcase)
Apply repository colours (or add in your own texture files - you will have to edit the object quite a bit though)
Open the mesh in your editor (I use milkshape) and carefully line up the mouse pointer on a shelf.
That will give you the xyz coordinate
Go into the bookcase clone, edit the slot file and CHANGE the Z coordinate to match your shelf heights.
Save, test in game.
Upload to MTS. (link to this post not necessary).

There is already a lovely set of bookcase slaved to the base game one, that is emptied with slots.

So they work just lovely with your deco books. Thanks Lee, luv them lots!

That's a cool set indeed. Glad I'd already posted mine in my journal or people would be thinking I'd pinched em.....We want more MaxisMatch - Go OOOON Jon!!

It's a great set and more reminiscent of the real range (at least I think they offered a half-high one at one stage). I have always wanted a half-high bookcase after the convenience of the ones in The Sims (One).

Wonderful Ikea additions. Thank you so much for this set!

Amazing! :lovestruc And superbly executed, too! Thank you so much, Lee!

Oh Wow! And I just got IKEA SP for Christmas - Such good timing!

Nifty idea! They are so much more useful now, thanks

Why do you rock so much? <3
*hands Lee a plate of cookies*

What a wonderful and very useful idea! Thank you so much :D

Brilliant! I love the screenshot most of all ... now to make a residential bookstore in-game. :D

This is such a brilliant idea Lee!! i didn't see these before because i rarely check sims 2 downoads, but this looks a million times better than the normal ones, you can actual make something realistic now!

Awesome. Thank you

Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

Thanks-Button does not work, so on this way: Thank you

thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!! OMG, i can't actually believe I've finally found something like this... you're a star!!!

Fabulous!

Thank you.
