Wonderful set, well done!

So charming and colorful I adore it so much!

Congrats! The best collection lamps for TS2 for sure!! Thanks!! ))

Beautiful! Great! Now taste test!

They're really lovely, but they made my game crash. Not sure why, but there you have it. I'm on a Mac so there's no telling why they don't work.

@zheyrryhn
Did your game crash on loading screen? Or was it while you were picking up a particular lamp from the catalog?
Edit:
Muridae figured out it's two lamps from Modernist Pack that cause the crash: Retro Floor Lamp and Cool Desk Lamp - the game should work if you delete those.
There's no easy fix for Vintage Collection.

Can't resist.... these are fantastic!
btw, Macs do have a CC file limit - if you go past a certain number of files (not GBs, but actual files), the game will not work. I was never able to figure out how to successfully get around that in newer version of MacOS, so I switched to an old PC.
Because there are a lot of meshes in this download @zheyrryhn, it might have knocked you over the edge of the file limit.

Really? That's horrible!
It seems to be a different issue though. Zheyrryhn's game did launch but It crashed after opening lamps category in buy mode.

Great Job!! Always grateful for more variety of lamps! Thank you.

Just a question. I only wanted some of the glass and brass set. The recolours folder only mentions the antique billiards set which I didn't download. Do I need to in order to get recolours? Many thanks.

@yavannatw
Yes, G&B Antique Billiard Lamp is a master mesh, you need it in your game. It shares recolors with all the other lights in this set.

These lamps are are awesome, so I had to download them. I have a Mac also, and my game crashes when I load the lighting category in buy mode.

@Harrahboy
Have you installed all sets with all the items at once? Maybe try installing one set at a time? It's quite possible that only one mesh is causing the crash.
Glass & brass set has a lot of slaved items in it, maybe macs are not able to handle it?

Is anyone else having problems extracting these files? When I go to extract them I get an error message:

C:\Users\Debbie\Downloads\SIMS\MTS_PineappleForest_1923874_ModernistLampsCollection.rar: The archive is either in unknown format or damaged

@jadesstar
Most likely you need to update your 7-Zip or WinRAR.

I tried the modernist lamps without the antique lamps and the antique lamps without the modernist lamps. I also tried just the antique billiard lamp by itself. I unfortunately crashed all during all of those tests.

@Harrahboy
That's a shame :/
My lamps have much more subsets / object states than your usual maxis lamp*.. I guess it could be the reason why these don't work on a mac (?).
Thank you for the testing and feedback.

*well, master meshes from modernist set aren't actually that complicated.. it's weird these would cause any issues.

Hi, @PineappleForest.

Another Mac user here. I can confirm that it's not a problem with the Mac file limit (as I have mine raised ridiculously high and am also testing in a game where I'm rebuilding CC so don't have much). I've not seen any issues with multiple subsets either, or repositoried objects. It does appear that the Mac version is being fussy about certain of the files. I've checked them all out, and these are the problem files:

CoolLights:
PF_CoolDeskLamp_SlaVeMesh.package - crashes when the Lights catalog is selected - this one's really determined to annoy the game

RetroLights:
PF_RetroFloorLamp_SlaVeMesh.package - crashes when the Lights/Floor Lamps subcatalog is selected

If you exclude those two packages, the Cool Lights and Retro Lights sets are otherwise okay to use on a Mac. Unfortunately the other sets crash on the master meshes, so are more of a problem. I tried all the other meshes though, averting my eyes from the distressing blue "where's my texture gone?" appearance, and most of them would be okay if they could find their repositories textures:

Gameroom:
PF_Gameroom3shadeLamp_MasterMESH.package - crashes when the Lights/Hanging Lamps subcatalog is selected
PF_Gameroom-GameTableHangingLamp_SlaVeMesh.package - crashes when the Lights/Hanging Lamps subcatalog is selected
(I obviously couldn't test the recolours)

Glass&Brass:
PF_G&B_AntiqueBilliardLamp_MASTERmesh.package - crashes when the Lights/Hanging Lamps subcatalog is selected
PF_G&B_BerryPendantLight_SLaVeMesh.package - crashes when the Lights/Hanging Lamps subcatalog is selected
PF_G&B_BellPendantLight_SLaVeMesh.package - crashes when the Lights/Hanging Lamps subcatalog is selected

With the exception of the Cool Lights desk lamp, everything that crashes seems to be either a hanging lamp or a floor one.

The power cord and switch also works, although as Mac users don't have AL, none of the lights are shiftable to bring down to where it ends. Is there any chance of getting a version of that which runs high enough to use with some of the wall lights in their default positions? It's a wonderful accessory, and I'd love to be able to use it.

I'd really like to use all of it, so I do hope that you'll be able to spot what the problem is and make at least the two problem master meshes Mac compatible. It's a beautiful set.

Disclaimer: I've not gone into Live mode, only switched between night and day in Buy. I've also not tried either of the collection files.

@muridae

I'm in the middle of making a longer power cord mesh
As for the lamps, when I find out where the problem is I'm going to remake these
Thanks for the testing and info!

@PineappleForest - that’s great. I used to have a bedside light with a power cord just like that, so it’s nicely nostalgic for me.

Good luck figuring out the problem. If you need a tester, I’m happy to help, though I might not always be very fast about it. :-)

Dear PineappleForest, your uploads never fail to disappoint. This looks fantastic! Can't wait to add some spanking new lamps to my game.

OMG Beautiful. Thank you. <3

yay awsome thanks

It is working now. I followed the instructions to replace the meshes, and the game does not crash. Thank you for working to help make these accessible for Mac users.

Lovely set. Once I installed it I had to go through lots and upgrade the lighting.
