Updated: 30th Dec 2018 at 5:36 AM - controller warning
This is a toy I've always wanted. Now at least my Simmies can have one.
Please note that this object REQUIRES Pets or later. I don't want to be responsible for crashing your game. I am working on a BaseGame version, but it still makes children float when they play with it...
Edit: I forgot to mention that both files in the download need to go in your Downloads folder in order for this to work.
Also, NixNivis brought it to my attention that I forgot to stress a warning about using an NPC Controller. Please, especially if you don't do it often, be sure to back up your hood and download shinies before installing this object. I don't believe anything bad will happen, but there is always a good chance of something unexpected when dealing with NPCs.
Had a little trouble getting this one completed. Been looking for the tutorial by shaklin for ages; with no luck. Finally got tired of searching, and said 'WTF- maybe I can figure it out myself.' Had a working toy a bit later, but it would override the original in the catalog. Finally discovered a post from Echo that had a working link to the tute, and found out I needed to make a controller NPC to get it to work right. So now I'm able to share. Hope you get some giggles out of it.
Mother approved
Kids like it too
Pets, not so much
Known issues:
As noted above, I don't have a fully working basegame version yet.
It bugs me a bit that the toy really doesn't do much but zoom around. Once the BG problem is fixed, I'll work on getting some animation overlay so his fingers can wiggle while running.
Only one recolorable subset.
Attribution:
Texture is Eaxis statue texture, recolored in GIMP 2.8.2
Mesh by me, adapted from EAxis statue "What you lookin at", using Blender to articulate the fingers and slightly remap the UV
Technical Info:
Catalog location: Buy Mode>Electronics>Entertainment

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
POLICY/TERMS-OF-USE ADDENDUM:
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.
