Sign of the Times


Who said 'if you build it,
they will come"?
What a load of malarkey!

To survive in the city,
your business needs to be noticed.
Especially in this economy!
What you need is a sign.
A big glowy neon sign.

Well how handy is it that
I just so happen to have a set for you.
12 new files* to help
your business light up the night.

I'll let the pictures do the talking.
Holy Hellcat Lounge
Spyglass / Boutique / Tattoo
Marquee Set (3 pieces)
The Pink Elephant
Salon (two styles) / Atomic Koffee / Psychic
To place, you may (or may not)
need the cheat 'moveobjects on'
depending on what floor
you decide to put them.

Oh, and the kicker is . . .
YOU NEED LATE NIGHT INSTALLED.

Sorry Bubbies. I tried and I tried,
but I could not get consistent results
any other method and still
get the look I required
read: four channels).
You can read about that nightmare here.

How about some more pictures?
The new Banal Outfitters has ruined the charm of Old Main Street
Have your palm read OR drink coffee and read people
Vitale Sesson's original minimalist salon
You'll want to pay too much at this salon
Back Alley Fun at the oldest Speakeasy in town
Old buildings get new life with a new business
Main Street East at night
Catch a gallery opening and go to a Whodunnit Dinner
Hipstah Square - Get a emocut, a tattoo, and catch a show!
Main Street Revitalized with NEON
So, because I know so many of you DON'T read the text,
to download, you're going to a warning screen first.
Be forewarned that you're about to be warned!

Some Notes:
These signs are also lights. They have been tested extensively
in other peoples games as well as my own. Light settings have been set to warm white.
I would recommend whatever main color you decide to have your light,
that you copy the RGB integers to apply as a custom color light setting.
You may need to brighten the light settings if you use a darker color
as you would with any light. It is also recommended that you use
World Adventure Tomb Lighting and Late Night Building Lights from
BuyDebug. Lights only light the floor that they are assigned to. If you have these
on the second floor - only the second floor wall will be illuminated. This is a game flaw
and not something that I can correct. Because all lights have different base settings
you may need to adjust the brightness of the BuyDebug lights to 'look correct' with these signs.

HUGE THANKS TO MY WONDERFUL TESTERS!
Jen, Amy, Susan, Marisa, Martine, Sandy, Sam, Alex, Heidi, Daniel, & Ruth
Their bravery and feedback have helped to provide you with the best possible results.

  9. You are the absolute bomb, Bau! And I was the worst tester ever - didn't even get around to sending you the pictures of the signs in my town (which look FANTASTIC, btw). Once again, I am in awe of your meshing skills. :)

  13. Huzzah I'm glad to see them released Bau! They're absolutely incredible and I can't wait to use the final versions in my new town!

    And hi Marisa! *wave* Are you playing (and perhaps creating) again? :D

    ReplyDelete
  14. Love those! Thanks :)
    Also good job on making sure everyone sees they are for late night :D

  15. Hey, Martine! Yep, still playing. Haven't created for a while, but definitely want to get back into it. :)

  16. Oh my god,those neons are awesome.Right now i`m planning a set of buildings with a more neon-lighted 50s Style and youe lights come in handy.
    Thanks alot!

  17. These are amazing, I wish I could play with these in my game. Would you ever consider converting them to the Sims 4?

    ReplyDelete
  18. The future of a conversion is unclear. Lights in S4 are a major pain in the butt - that said - when you can get them to work well, they are simply phenomenal. I will say my TOU is open for anyone to convert them - let's hope if they get to it before me that they do it with some love ....
