Deco Zoo Animals

This is a project that started small and got a bit out of hand…

TheNinthWave recently converted a number of animals from Zoo Tycoon 2 as deco for TS2. However these meshes contained all the mesh states of each animal, meaning each animal had several meshes overlapping each other, which looked silly and used unnecessary polys.

So I figured, I can fix these… To make a long story short, I dug out other Zoo Tycoon 2 conversions from years ago, by Hydromancerx and Tazmanoregon, and also found the original source for the extracted meshes, by valforwing at TheModelRescource. I’ll convert a few more while I’m at it, I thought…

So, here are 56(!) animals, re-using the GUIDs from Hydromancerx, Tazmanoregon, and TheNinthWave. So, if you have any deco animals by the above creators, please remove them before adding mine to your game- I have renamed mine! Some animals have been replaced with different animals as the creators had converted some of the same animals.

- TNW’s animals have had the extra mesh states removed, making them better looking and lower poly.

- Hydro and Tazman’s animals have higher quality textures, so they’re also better looking. Also some meshes have been re-converted from the originals extracted by valforwing.

- Many animals have been resized to be more in scale with the Sims.

- All animals have re-written and corrected descriptions, and some have recolours. They are are all found in Misc -> Pets, because that’s where I have deco animals in my game; I have re-priced them as well, since the prices were all over the place.

Criquette Shop Signs

  

I said I would do this back when @criquette-was-here posted these, so here they are: 20 shop signs by Criquette on Shakeshaft’s Victorian shop front signs. Meshes for the signs are included; for the rest of the set and recolors of it, check here: (http://decatsims2.blogspot.com/2014/09/diagon-alley-shop-fronts.html)

4to2 Ottoman Recolours

I like this 4to2 ottoman, but the colour combinations never work for me. So here are 34 recolours, 17 cushion colours with both wood and white stone legs. Thanks to Freeasabird for the white stone texture I borrowed, and some of the cushion colours.

Magic Rugs

I bring you rugs! Round rugs from TS4 Realm of Magic, and Flower-like ruges from TS3 Midnight Hollow! (textures thanks to TheJim07 at MTS.)

It is a new mesh, with 12 TS4 round rugs (including one as the mesh itself) and 14 TS3 flower rugs. it’s found under deco/rugs, obviously.

School Stuff

I had these items waiting to be uploaded, and realised they sort of fit a school theme, so I put them together! Here we have:

- Veranka’s whiteboard recoloured with doodles from TS3 (you might recall my WCIF about this), Veranka’s mesh is included, the wall add on is by 2FingersWhiskey.
- HCove’s TS3 Byron desk recoloured with woods by Shasta, again mesh is included.
- An end table and globe converted from TS3 with textures by TheJim07 at MTS, The globe is in Deco/Misc and the table is in End Tables.
- And, lastly, a TS4 backpack by Ellemant and Weoaty, found in Deco/Misc.

TS4 Realm of Magic Conversions

Realm of Magic Conversions! You get everything you see above, and many items have recolours. The three horizontal brooms are all one object, while the vertical brooms are separate objects each. The brooms and pictures are in wall deco. Most other items are in misc deco, except the bookshelf (Hobbies/Knowledge) the cabinets (Surfaces/Shelves) and the floating crystal with the stand, which is a lamp!

pufferhead Stuff

So, Moocha Muses posted their conversion of Mlys' Pufferhead set before I had even finshed my version, but I figured that I may as well post what I did get finished, and there are a few differences.

This Includes 16 deco items, located in Deco-> Misc, and Deco-> Wall. The posters are on the maxis mesh ‘Lady on Red’, shown here with add-ons by Curiousb. The books are on my deco book mesh (included) and will also show up on the slaved meshes, which you can here: http://decatsims2.blogspot.com/2016/08/deco-book-add-ons.html

I also ‘borrowed’ the clothesline art mesh from Veranka’s TS3 Aurora Skies conversion, but it’s a new cloned object, so doesn’t need the original.

Update 23/07- If you already downloaded the file, please delete the file 'Decat_DEFAULT_HenryPuffer_ChildrensBook'. It is supposed to replace the children's book in game with a Henry Puffer Book, but what it actually did was crash the game- I forgot it was in there! I have updated the zip file so it no longer includes this. Thank you!
