SCREENSHOTS
While building 'Oi Dong Monastery' a few items were needed for which there was no satisfactory buy item available [Oi Dong would just be any old monastery without procrastinators and bonsai mountains.
Well, it must be about seven years since I last did any meshing, nevertheless determination to complete Oi Dong made it imperative that I tackle the problem.
Many hours later, I made some basic items with which I decorated my monastery.
However, being fully aware that not everyone would want to download these items with the building, I have packaged them separately so that if anyone is interested, they are available.
I used Milkshape 3D 1.8.5
UV Mapper
TSR Workshop [sorry, but it was easier for a numpty like me to use this time]
Procrastinators
These can all be found in décor/miscellaneous, except for the large one which is in décor/statues.
The smaller ones cannot be recoloured, the medium-large and large ones can.
The two larger ones have script on them, the medium-large has ‘simlish’ the large one has sanscrit.
Cost:
Tiny - 65; Small - 20; Medium - 150; Medium-large - 255; Large -1,650.
Bonsai Mountains
This is also in decor/miscellaneous.
I tried for ages to enable better colouring, but whatever I did the design seemed to just want to split itself over the mesh, so that the mountains and the dish always end up made out of the same material.
I experimented with different recolours, and imo patterns in darker colours with a pronounced texture or design work best.
Cost: 35
Discworld Picture Set
For fun, and a ‘finishing touch’ I decided to add some Disworld specific paintings. I found some nice pictures on the web, but just as I was about to upload them read the new requirements for wall decorations. So having decided to make some I was not to be put off! Hence, I have spent the last couple of weeks getting my sim to be a brilliant artist so she could paint some pictures for Oi Dong. Lol. I even made a Terry Pratchett sim for her to life draw. [I didn’t use those in the end though!]
All pictures have either been painted in the game or made by me.
Cost: 45
Polygon Counts:
Bonsai Mountains - 239 vertices; 322 faces
Procrastinator tiny - 256 vertices; 310 faces
Procrastinator small - 258 vertices; 290 faces
Procrastinator medium - 468 vertices; 672 faces
Procrastinator m-l - 496 vertices; 698 faces
Procrastinator large - 250 vertices; 354 faces
Additional Credits:
Enduring woo-hoo [not the maxis meaning!, more like 'yippee'] to Terry Pratchett for writing such wonderful books

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.

Install Instructions
Quick Guide:
1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file. Now you will have either a .package or a .sims3pack file.
For Package files:
1. Cut and paste the file into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages folder. If you do not already have this folder, you should read the full guide to Package files first: Sims 3:Installing Package Fileswiki, so you can make sure your game is fully patched and you have the correct Resource.cfg file.
2. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
For Sims3Pack files:
1. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
2. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Find the item in the list and tick the box beside it. Then press the Install button below the list.
3. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the content to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
4. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
