These sparkling new replacements are snazzy. Thanks for your creativity and eye for color.

looks good, however im a little confused as to what this does. Does the sports car that comes from the carpool get replaced? or the one you can buy and use?


also do these work with decorative parking spaces? http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=330492 , this mod? they change the cars to spawn on lots, so i was not sure if they conflict

This only replaces the expensive sports car from the carpool. The game sees the sports car from the carpool and the buyable sports car as separate, distinct objects, each of which has its own mesh and texture - well, textures for the buyable car. So, replacing the carpool's texture has absolutely no effect on any buyable car. (If you do want to replace any of the Maxis textures for the buyable, ownable sports car, look here.)

I can't imagine why they wouldn't. All they do is let you replace the carpool's pale yellow texture with a different color. They don't change anything about how the carpool works.

That is not Blue, That is LACK Turquoise, if you want to do Blue, refer to an artist's Color Wheel for Primary Blue, then make an actual Primary Blue color, otherwise people who aren't artists or are not educated in Color Theory or Design in general will not care from complacency!

Mmm... I remember that I took LACK Blue and noodled around with it in Paint.NET until I got a shade of blue that I liked and that wasn't in the recolor sets I had. No color theory, no color actions, no really definite goal other than "I'll know it if I see it". I called it "blue" because it's a blue (at least to my eyes), and because it's the only blue in the set, so that's enough to let people (including me, given how long it's been since I made that texture) know which one I'm talking about.
