If you are able to, I would love to see these in Simlish :D
I refuse to have English (or any non-Sim languages) in my games, lol

Very nice

I was looking at a similar item at http://customsims3.com/forums/thread-870.html

I assume you are the author of that one as well

I am so glad you cut down on the Poly Count, as I maybe able to use this version. While 2,600 is way better than 11,832, under 1,500 would be more ideal.

For all my creations check out my blog

Yes I authored both

Those were older meshes made for CAW, The poly count is very high on them compaired to the new pumps. The new pumps have a totaly new mesh they now have a much lower poly count, are recolorable in game, and can only be used in game, not in CAW. I also use O-Decaff for a creator name mainly for CAW projects

Poly count

I tried for as low a poly count as I could. I wanted to keep as much detail without a high poly count. When I went that low it seemed to effect the quality of the image. Maybe as time goes on and I get more proficent I will be able to. Thank You leroy157 (O-Decaff)

There are a few choices that I know of for Simlish font. Personally I prefer the 3rd one but they are all well done.

Simlish Fonts

Thank you I will check them out: After posting I did a search and only found one but I found some American Indian fonts that would also work, In particular Sequoya

Thank you so much for this - (I wanted one, but hated the idea of getting Fast Lane for one item).

Oh wow! Being from southern Ontario and really close to the Southwestern Ontario Heritage Museum, I stroll through the "village" and see these at the gas station that represents yesteryear. Fantastic job on these and they bring back a lot of memories from my "kid years".

Are they usable or just decoration?

Phandoraz: They are just decorative. Simaboder: They do bring back memories I know as in the late 50s while in high school I worked at a Texaco Station and pumped lots of gas with similar pumps at .22 cents per gallon. In Canada it was a little higher per gallon but then you used the Imperial gallon which was also more volume than the US gallon I believe? Thank you all leroy157 (O-Decaff)
