Update 7/11/2012: New compressed rectangular pennant file. Also, verified that pennants are compatible with 1.36 patch.



Add a little pizzazz to your Sim's environment with these decorative pennants. With Six Flags Over Your Bedroom Wall, every day can feel like an amusement park!



Cloned from the oh-so-useful set of non-recolorable racing flags (from Fast Lane) with the perma-checkered pattern, I changed the shapes of some of the flags and made all of them recolorable. The pennants and rope now have three customizable color channels.



No expansion packs are required. Playtested with a fully patched base game (patch 1.34) and with a game running patch 1.33.

Six Flags Over Your Bedroom comes in three pre-set flavors:
  • Day and Night
  • Surf and Turf
  • Death and Taxes



Okay, so I can hear some of you saying, What do you mean, Six Flags? I see only FIVE flags, and I say, technicalities, technicalities!

About the shadow: the mesh uses a special wall shadow that I could not change without breaking the mesh. I am including an all-rectangle version of the pennants if the shadow annoys anyone. Or if you just, you know, have a thing for rectangles.

Six Rectangular Flags Over Your Spare Room comes in 4 flavors:
  • Hell and High Water
  • East and West
  • Guns and Roses, and
  • Moo



They are not either/or, but standalone meshes and fully compatible with one another.
You can find both Six Flags Over Your Bedroom Wall and Six Rectangular Flags Over Your Spare Room in the Deco--> Miscellaneous section of the Buy Catalog. It's also in deco --> paintings/wall objects.

Tools used: Milkshape, Blender, TSRW, S3PE, Sims 3 Pack MultiInstaller, Photoshop 6.0 and The Gimp

Cost: 50 Simoleans
Environment: 2

Caution: Do not place these pennants in your Sim's bathroom, as it would make the bathroom entirely too much fun.
