Bespoke Build Set
6/5/2022 Added 20°, 25°, 30°, 52° and 59° angle gable roof trim. Download HW_bespokeRoofTrimAddOns to get them.
7/17/2020 Updated the HW_BespokeBuildSet file. The new file includes updates to all of the objects with the rd prefix. (They should all allow person and roof intersection, be quarter tile placeable and not cast outdoor shadows now). The updated zip also includes the 6 new colors I added and Shastakiss's door updates for apartments.
5/22/2020 Shastakiss updated the 2 tile French Doors and the 2 tile arch to work with Apartment Lots. :lovestruc
Fixed 7/17/2018 Updated the files to fix a GUID conflict with the Oaktown Door.

BESPOKE BUILD SET
I like to build the mix of houses you'd find in the typical American suburb (often from house plans) so this set doesn't faithfully follow any particular build style. It's a nice, versatile set of windows, doors and miscellaneous bits and pieces suitable for the houses I like to build. I tried to keep the info as to the point as possible. Hopefully I conveyed everything you need to know but maybe not. If you have any questions please ask.
COLOR PALETTE & RECOLORS
The set comes with a huge palette of colors in a range of shades to mix and match. The colors may be familiar because I did my best to use existing build and buy objects to create the palette. I also used Shastakiss's pirate wood colors because they're amazing. :lovestruc I kept the color name the same as the source but keep in mind that I didn't use the textures so these aren't going to be exact matches and may look nothing like the original. Example: Oak is clearly not oak wood.
The recolors are tiny file and guilt free - just 5kb each - so keep as many colors as you like.

DEFAULT REPLACEMENT STAIRS
Steadfast Stairs Default Replacement
- 2 Recolorable subsets added to coordinate w/ the Colonial porch deco
- Tiny file recolors in the Bespoke color palette
- File Name: HW_stairsSteadfast__DEFAULT
- Catalog Sort: Stairs | Polys: 6552
Aboreal Ascendency Wooden Deck Stairs
- 2 Recolorable subsets added to coordinate w/ the classic porch deco
- Tiny file recolors in the Bespoke color palette
- File Name: HW_stairsDeckGreen__DEFAULT
- Catalog Sort: Stairs | Polys: 1880
USE: Place the stairs as usual and use the design tool to recolor each step.
CONFLICTS The Steadfast Stairs will conflict with Huge Lunatic's recolorable version and any recolors you have will not work with mine. There was no getting around that - the names needed to be changed to add the second subset and for the recolors to show in neighborhood view.
The green deck stairs have never been defaulted (as far as I'm aware) so you shouldn't have any issues with those.
RECOLORING: You can recolor these like normal or, if you want to use my templates for tiny file recolors, the texture names are:
##0x1C050000!staircasemodularbalustrade-hwbespokecolortemplate
##0x1C050000!deckgreenstairs-hwbespokecolortemplate
Credit and thanks to Numenor and Lunie for making these recolorable first. I wouldn't have had the first clue where to start if not for their work.
MAILBOX SHELF & RECOLORS
Name | Mailbox Shelf | Mailbox Shelf - Mail only by Pescado |
Catalog | Buy Mode: Shelves | |
Price | 25 | |
Polygons | 92 | |
Subsets | Wood | |
File Name | mailboxShelf | mailboxShelf_hackedPescado |
Function | A coffee table for the mailbox. Shiftable. | A coffee table for the mailbox that only holds mail. Shiftable. |
Requires | Slaved to the Maxis mailbox. | Credits: Windkeeper and Pescado |
- 34 Bespoke Recolors of the mailbox post - M&G Required
TL;DR Here's two new shelves that serve the exact same purpose as the existing objects by Windkeeper & Pescado (Hacked Windkeeperian) because I hate to recolor.
ROOF RECOLORS
- 36 Manor roof recolors
- Texture referencing so your default replacement roof trims will work with these too.
- Requires an expansion pack
BESPOKE FLOORS & WALLS
- Collection File
- Narrow Wood Plank in the Bespoke wood colors. | Wood 6
- Vinyl Wood texture in the Bespoke wood colors. | Linoleum 3
- Carpet in 6 Bespoke wood colors. | Carpet 2
- Clapboard Siding | Siding 8
- Foundations | Poured 5, Brick 6, and Masonry 6
RECOLORING INFORMATION
Everything is slaved to the Bespoke Build Set master file. (It's a package file that doesn't have an ingame mesh so no one ends up needing to keep an object they don't want.) If you want to recolor the set you'd use the Master File like usual. The set was designed with templates/tiny file recolors in mind and they're recommended. If you want to use my templates for recolors the texture names are:
##0x1C050000!bespokebuildsetmaster-woodtemplate
##0x1C050000!bespokebuildsetmaster-white
Note: The hardware is not recolorable - sorry!
EXCEPTIONS:
- To recolor the flowers use the Bespoke Window Box Master.
- To recolor the thresholds use the Bespoke Arch & Threshold Master.
- The stairs are default replacements and have their own textures. (Recolor the stairs.)
- The mailbox shelves are slaved to the Maxis mailbox. (Recolor the mailbox.)
TERMS OF USE: None.
INSPIRATION: So much about this set is the result of the Sims 2 community it felt wrong not to acknowlege that in a small way. I've used pheonix_pharie's Modern Georgian Manor set for absolutely ages and think it's just about perfect so this set was heavily influenced by theirs. Nysha and Raynuss both came out with really nice sets when I was actively making these so they had an influence. Not to mention Lee who introduced me to the wonders of centered windows and doors, MLC for her lovely porch sets, fansee who once wanted columns that hid in cutaway view, ekrubynaffit who was looking for blue roof trim once upon a time, and more recently Peni Griffin who's posts made me go back and make sure as much of this set as possible could be used without cheats.
Polygon Counts:
Generally low to average. The gingerbread and flower boxes are comparatively high and worth taking note of but nothing is outrageous. See post for exact counts.
Additional Credits:
Lamare, Chris Hatch and d4RE who offered help and answered my questions. SimPe, AGS, Milkshape and Photoshop. Maxis for the meshes and textures and MTS for hosting and the new tables.
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.
