I've never paid that much close attention to the drums, but they do look a lot better now. Thank you!

Just out of curiosity, how is this mapped? Does the back of the big drum use the same texture as the top of the others, or does it have its own?

Same with me, I've never paid that much attention but man, are you right! Thanks for the replacements, Maxis ain't thinkin' now a days...

First of all: thanks for thanking, I'm glad you appreciate the correction!

Gwillewyn, the back of the bass drum has to use the same texture as the top of the other ones because this is the only possibility to keep the Maxis texture (the default colors) and to keep the recolors working for the default, the global-mod and the custom solution. For an 'all inclusive improvement' (a really cool drum kit :D) a new mesh made by cloning Atavera's drumset would make more sense.

It's the small details that count - thank you! Looks so much better.

OK, am I the only one getting this problem? Every time I try to download this, WinRAR gives me the "invalid or corrupt authenticity information" error message. This is the only download this is happening on, too.

KagomeKagome,
for me it worked fine but anyway, I removed the "authenticity information" from the RAR.

Thanks!, I can now take better pictures of my Band(s) - I always used to avoid that picture angle because of that naff mirror effect!...
To all, of the very talented MTS-2 creative types - my sincere thanks for taking the time to create/upload/share...

I downloaded and installed this mod after recoloring the Maxis drum set, hoping that it would show up correctly. For some reason, even when I made sure that the global version was in my downloads folder, the change wasn't made and I'm not sure why. I have The Sims 2: Ultimate Collection, so perhaps I'm running the game with an expansion pack or two that this mod isn't compatible with? It wouldn't be so bad if I was only able to do recolors with the Wizards of SimPE, as I'm currently having some issues with SimPE that don't allow me to recolor the advanced way, which would include custom objects, which is why I can't download the custom version of this mod. Has anyone had this problem before?
