This is all George R. R. Martin’s fault. 😛 I’m currently re-reading A Song of Ice and Fire, and suddenly I realised I had to do something about the thinking caps in my Westeros ‘hood (that resides in an AnyGame that otherwise has been default replaced within an inch of its life). I mean, a lightbulb, really? A lightbulb?? Gods be good!
So I made some lightbulb-free default replacements.
Over at SimTrek (forum is gone now), Dominie wanted ears for her Vulcans – proper Vulcan ears, thank you very much, that angle forward like Spock’s. My Vulcan Sims and I thought this sounded logical, so I took her up on it. 🙂
During 2013, I plan on updating all my old body and accessory meshes. But I’m going to jump the gun a little and start with my Starfleet rank insignia already – they really needed help.
I haven’t just updated the meshes, though. I’ve updated… well, everything. 🙂

As a storyteller, I sometimes want some extra light in my screenshots, but that doesn’t necessarily mean I want some extra lamps in my screenshots. So I made a couple of invisible ones.
This is all Shane Peltzer’s fault, you know. 😛 The green recol of my GAVIK table lamp reminded him of a plumb bob and he wondered why there aren’t any plumb bob lamps. Me, I thought a plumb bob lamp sounded like a great idea, and me being me, I of course had to make one.
So here it is: the one and only Plumb Bob Lamp. It comes with six recols: green, green yellow, yellow, orange, red and platinum. When turned on, it rotates counter-clockwise (like, you know, a plumb bob), and of course it also has the plumb bob glow. You can only get it at leefish.nl, though, so hurry on over there right now! 😀

So I saw this adorable little lamp in the IKEA catalogue and could tell right away that it wanted to get simmed. So I did. 🙂
For us in the northern hemisphere (and especially here in the northern northern hemisphere), the days are getting shorter and the weather colder. Me, I always wear warm slippers at this time of year, since I really don’t like it when my feet are cold – so I thought my Sims should have something to keep their feet warm as well.

So, a certain Sim of mine needed a nightgown. Nothing fancy and certainly nothing with frills or bows or lace; just a simple, full-length nightgown with slippers (’cause she’s on a starbase and it’s very cold… in space). So I made her one.

Don’t look at me like that; I can too make clothes that aren’t sci-fi related. 😉
I’ve always liked the trousers on the female landlord in Apartment Life, but I couldn’t find them as separates anywhere. (I think I know why – the UV map wasn’t very separation-friendly.) So I separated them and turned them into untuckable bottoms for AF and EF.

I had originally planned to have this finished for Christmas, but that obviously didn’t happen – so you’re getting it as a (slightly delayed) New Year’s gift instead.

A three-tile wall lamp that emits a green light, inspired by the wall light in the Zócalo in Babylon 5. It’s base-game compatible, but it can be shifted up and down if you have AL.
The mesh is all of 10 polys and 22 vertices, which I think is fairly decent for a three-tile object. 😉
(Oil lamp by Parsimonious, potted plant by Ohbehave, other somewhat repetitive deco by Maxis and me.)

Sometimes when I’m watching a film or a tv show, I come across something I know I’ll just have to make for the Sims. That’s what happened when I spotted Kirk’s black-and-chrome bookcase/display case in The Wrath of Khan – the thing was just screaming to be simmified. So I made like the Borg, and complied. 😉
Over at leefish.nl, Cmo made a great retro bookcase for TS3. He was kind enough to allow me to convert it for TS2 – so I did. 🙂
The Goin’ Retro bookcase, with fifteen slots and four recols, can be found here. Go get it! 😀
Another guest upload! 😀
Michelle @ leefish.nl has made no less than 29 recolours of the Werkbunnst Tek chair from Apartment Life, that match my Anna recolours of the IKEA lamp LAMPAN.
