OK, now... Proudly presenting the Curvy File Keeper:

This item is specifically made to be a companion piece to the Curvy Desk, which also serves as the repository for the textures. In other words, you can't see the textures on this file cabinet unless you have the Curvy Desk in your downloads folder - because the textures are in the desk file and not this upload.
Since there's really no interactions for file cabinets in the game, they just kinda sit there, looking pretty. Not good enough for my File Keeper! My File Keeper needs to do a little work to earn its place on your lots. That's why I added LOTSA SLOTS. There are twelve ( yes, 12) slots on this baby. They aren't all just deco slots, either. In strategic locations, there are table and counter slots, so they will accommodate things deco slots won't, like phones and lamps and big waving ceramic cats.


And, even though I'm biased, I still think it sits there and looks pretty with the best of 'em.

Some technical info:
All textures are EAxis, manipulated in GIMP 2.8.
GUID-D586C154, face count-1486, in-game price-303, Catalog placement- Surfaces>End Tables
Known Issues:
You may need to press "M" key to toggle through the slots, and will probably need to put some placeholders in the lower slots in order to access the higher slots.
.
If you put anything in the slots that is usable by your Sim (eg., a phone), the animations may be a little off. The heights on this object's slots are nonstandard, so the original end table slots didn't quite match the animation. I experimented with a few other types of slots, but none were exactly the right height.
Tools used:
SimPE, Blender 2.78c
Polygon Counts:
glass- 184
desktop (drawers & supports)- 928
base- 364
shadows- 10
Additional Credits:
I'm extremely grateful for the MTS Community(thanks, Delphy) - if it weren't for all the great tutorials and helpful comments in the forums, I don't know if I could have figured any of this out
Thanks to Quaxi et al for SimPE.
HugeLunatic for the slots tutorial
This is a new mesh, and means that it's a brand new self contained object that usually does not require a specific Pack (although this is possible depending on the type). It may have Recolours hosted on MTS - check below for more information.

About Me
I don't mind if you include any of these meshes with your lots**, as long as you provide a link to the original MTS page for the mesh. Posting my mesh on any site by itself, or claiming it as your own work, would be considered rude and a breach of my trust and love for you as a fellow simmer.
**Above policy does not apply to Remote Control Thing - it contains an NPC that could possibly corrupt a neighborhood when removed, and I doubt that downloaders would appreciate something like that hidden in a downloaded lot.
