This is another '"kinda"- unintentional creation: It was supposed to be a coffee table, but I went and drew the mesh and mapped out the slots without using any game mesh for a reference. Everything was at end table height, so this became an end table instead. I still want the coffee table in my game, so once it's finished there will be a matched set.

I saw (yup, again on a TV show) a cool hex coffee table that was basically two nested pieces that spread out into two separate tables. Not really feasible in Sims 2 without a lot of coding, but I thought it would be cool if one of the pieces was all glass. Here's what happened:

I re-used the textures from the MoldiCube table, with the addition of orange. After that Right Said Fred song got stuck in my head, I could only envision this table as bright orange with green glass. Didn't go overboard or get fancy on the slots this time, they're just logically placed for the shape of the tabletop, and there's plenty of them to make it useful.
