You most certainly have! Go on over and see what you can grab while it's still there :D

This is amazing, they should of been CASTable from the start in my opinion, so thank you for fixing this.

I almost panicked when I couldn't bring this up over at Simlogical! Took me a couple minutes to track it down, and the whole time I'm thinking, "No, no, no! Oh pleeeease don't have thrown in the towel on this project!" THANK GOODNESS I found you here! LOL! I'm so glad you're all finished with this; it was a MASSIVE undertaking! Now you can sit back and enjoy the thank you's and compliments that are sure to keep rolling in! Thank you so very much for making this! You have done such a wonderful job with it, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate your dedication over this past year! Take care, Hon!

Touching base...
Thanks everyone for your support, and you are very welcome! I've really enjoyed making these. I know they're not "the" ideal solution in some cases, but at least we can customise a little better (if ye likes 's , that is...lol).

@lolotte89: Hey sweetie, I'm glad you found me! You always manage to brighten my day. I did put a big 'ol note at the beginning of the Simlogical post hoping not to lose anyone in the transition. I had been thinking about uploading them here anyways, but the site kind of intimidated me, and I didn't want to manage having them at two places until they were completed, so thank you Inge for forcing my hand (hope your family arrived safely!).

I'm actually still working on the last set from "Into the Future" and hope to add them shortly. I think I have gotten them "whipped into submission". They were trying to be stubborn with all the utopia/dystopia stuff, but you know how persistent I can be.

I'm hoping to look at some of the other non-rabbit shells once these are completed. I would love to have a castable version of the Eiffel Tower, but I currently use Icarus' enhanced version, and I certainly don't want to lose the functionality he gave it as a restaurant.

I do monitor the thread daily, so if any issues arise, please post so I can take a look.

Take care for now & Happy Holidays!

Hi there! There will indeed (currently working on). Hopefully, it won't be too much longer. Chaotic household slowing me down, plus bad weather about to start up (I do not like WINTER... ). Hang in there!

Can you elaborate on what it is you're supposed to do to recolor these rabbit holes? They appear in my game just fine and mostly place okay (some claim to be out of bounds when they're clearly not), but clicking on the doors doesn't show me any new menu items and I can't find a description or picture of what I should be seeing when I do click the doors.

Hi,

Behaviourwise, they shouldn't act any differently than the originals (same interactions, etc.) I haven't noticed anything as far as being out of bounds. Some of the larger ones might say this if too close to the edge, but all footprints are pulled from the originals.

To recolour, all you need to do is click on the CaST tool (next to the hand tool) and then click on whatever part of the building you want to change -- this should open up the CaST panel. While the CaST panel is open, you can click on different parts of the building and recolour a different part. When finished, close the CaST panel, and you're done. The bunk beds work the same way (they are two objects attached together).

Does this help?

I just noticed I forgot to add the how-to-use info when I transitioned these from Simlogical....sorry! Have added that to the first post.

Thank you so much! After the first week of playing the base game, I was never again interested in how my town looked. I just ignored it and mostly kept my sims and my focus at home where I could have a lot of influence over the 'look' of my game. I love the looks I can get with these new babies. My interest in sims is revived.

I am gonna look at all the other shells once I finish up with Oasis Landing...no promises, though. I don't know how they're going to react to having part attachments seeing as how they disappear / reappear when you move up and down floors, but I certainly want to give it a try.

It's amazing the way I'm still managing to learn so much. Objects that you think would be similar turn out to be completely different in their design and functionality....inconsistency can be frustrating...lol. This bloody hover train / monorail thingy is what's holding me up on completing Oasis Landing. They are being extremely uncooperative. I have successfully built a working one on a blank world, but a few of the interactions are either changing their "string" name to the "class" name for no apparent reason, or not showing up at all, and the only thing I want to do is remove the "if this is a future world" check from the Travel interactions so they'll be usable on any type of world (with proper .INI files, of course). I'm ramblin' again....

Gonna get back to it for now.

OK, I've finally managed to complete the rabbits from Oasis Landing. Hopefully, everything is good. I think this is the last of the rabbitholes (aside from Icarus' modded Eiffel Tower), so enjoy! Be sure to redownload the Main Assembly Script so that they will work, and post if you run into anything unusual. Also, read the notes regarding the Hover Train if you decide to try it out.

Glad I finished before Xmas
