I love this. Back in the day, I got a bunch of unlocked stencils from "The Simalogue" but the website no longer exists so I lost them some years ago. I'm glad someone took the time to track down all the missing stencils and link them back to the object. Thank you!

Wow, didn't realize there were so many extra stencils. Now I love the dressers more! Thank you for spotting and fixing this, so appreciated.

i knew about some of these but wow there are so many more than i thought! apparently i already have some of them unlocked and didn't realise it. i'll have to hunt down those mods and get rid of them because this one has way more :)

edit: forgot to say that i've been using velocitygrass remove deco mod (which is fantastic and i'm not getting rid of anytime soon) to remove stencils, but you're telling me ea had plain versions already and never made them available?! the late night mirror without the stencil is one of the best in the game and the counters are usable in so many more houses. this makes life so much easier.

Where you say "removed main stencil," does that actually mean in practical sense that you added the option for a stencilless preset, or that the stencil is gone from the catalog?

@lucy kemnitzer I mean that I added an extra swatch without the stencil, like it was originally intended!

Fantastic! It's amazing how many things are hidden within the game that we were supposed to get. I also really appreciate the blank (stenciless) variants, that makes them way more versatile. (I can now have a rags to riches without it looking like a country ranch! Lol). I don't want to even know how messed up the store items are...

Do you have a PO Box I can deliver cookies to? This deserves cookies. A lot of them.

Hola! How useful and brilliant this is, even at this point, it is incredible, plus there always seems to be something new to add to this game, this time thanks to you!
(by the way, I remember having more variants of the tribute plaque that ambitions included, maybe you want to know more about this...)

@musico I have actually included it! Take a look in the item list as they include some items that I missed when taking the screenshots :P

There is a lot more. Would be great if you could make a complete set of all.

@Expect No Mercy I'm aware of these but like I mentioned at the description, I didn't touch the store sets because I have converted all of my owned store content in big merged package files. From the few store items that I tried some worked and some didn't, so I'll have to hunt down everything I own and separate them again which will take a long time and I don't plant on doing this anytime soon sorry!

OMG I am so excited for one fix for all this (anything that lets my mod folder be smaller and more manageable is so welcome lol), Also I love that country set bed and it will be so much more versatile without the grandma stencils.

I downloaded this mod and now the generations wedding cake is just brown. No texture, can't CASt it. I noticed the generations file of this mod included some wedding cake resources. What were those doing? The wedding cake was not mentioned in the mod description.

I also have a bonus question. Where did you find the lost .IMG for the basegame counters and islands? There's 7 of them.

UPDATE: 29/3/21 - I updated the download, more specifically the Generations package, to remove my castable wedding cake mod I accidentally mixed up with the download. Don't worry the wedding cake works just fine so it's completely safe to keep it in your game, but if you don't want it please redownload the mod!


@gigagiga You are correct! Apparently I accidentally included an old mod I created that made the wedding cake CASTable however I never uploaded it, as it is uploaded by another user already. As about the counters, they should be the very last swatch. If you don't see the additional swatches or new stencils, you probably have another mod that edits the same OBJD resource as my mod. Try putting my mod in your Overrides folder and see if they appear, otherwise track down the mod that conflicts with mine and remove it!

Sorry, I was unclear. The BG counters work just as they should with this mod. I was just curious about when you were creating this mod, where did you find the files? The 7 IMG.dds:

Or did you create these yourself?

@gigagiga Oh you mean the country ones? I did make these myself yes, they replace the original textures. It was a simple edit on the alpha layer to make them appear sharper like they were intended.
