Semi-deco beds Semi-deco Double Bed (2 rotations)
Semi-deco Double Bed (4 rotations)
Note: The 4-rotation double bed is also available from Simblesse Oblige where Simnut1 first requested the semi-deco bed.

The Semi-deco bed was made in response to a request by Simnut1 as an alternative to deco-only beds. As with deco-only beds these beds have only 1 graphic state (instead of 3 or 4). Unlike deco-only beds, however, these objects still function as real bed.

The effect is similar to a player using a deco-only bed and invisible bed combination so, yes, the Sims will still bleed through the bedding. The semi-deco bed has 3 distinct advantages, however. Using 1 object instead of 2 uses less resources and means less hunting through buymode, the player can click on this version to direct the sim to Sleep, and since there isn't a "messy" graphic to warn the player when the bed is untidy the semi-deco beds have an additional"No Mess" hack.

Hacked Bookcase/Hutch (blank)
Hacked Bookcase/Hutch with Apple Snack (blank)
'Pantry de Provence style. These kitchen hutches are bookcases hacked to allow Sims to study for Outdoors and Food Interests, as well as retaining the Maxis bookcase functions.
'Learn more about Food' is only available when you have Hot Date or higher installed

One also features an 'apple snack' which allows both adult and child Sims to reach for an apple from the center area of where the lower shelf is on this graphic. The Sim eats the apple for a Hunger boost that is a little more than the bag of chips from the fridge, with no trash to clean up afterwards. Place a bowl of fruit graphic on the lower shelf for 'realism'. (There are fruit bowl graphics in the DIY Graphics section). This (no EP required) model is made to match the Pantry de Provence that came with UL EP (also shown). Zip file includes required apple prop (skins) files, which will work with any clone you make from the base.

Shop Counter with Browse option (blank),
Hacked especially for use in shops, the food prep, service and bar functions have all been removed preventing sims who barbecue from using these counters to serve meals on it.

Used as is, adult and child Sims can 'browse' the front and corners of this counter as long as no functional cash register has been placed it so sales are never blocked. No actual purchases are made from this counter. To make a non-browseable shop counter disable both children and adults for "Browse" feature on the Interaction Menu (TTAB).

Additional Shop Counter Graphics This counter is provided with empty shelf graphics and there is (packaged in the blank's zip) an additional zip file containing graphics file (Photoshop's .psd format only!) of transparent plastic guard pieces for the fronts of the counter, as shown on our Convenience Store Impulse Buy counters.

S.S.o.W Visit Generators: Open House Signs (blank)
Use to advertise a party or attract potential customers to your home lot. The game views these potential customers as Visiting Sims and several of them will still be seen as a Party just as if you phoned and invited them over.

Turn the sign on by choosing "Open House"; Turn it off by choosing "Close House". The sign will stop attracting visitors at approximately 10pm and will start again at 7 or 8 in the morning. (This is to avoid having visitors arrive just to tell you that it's too late and they are going home)

The "Neighbor" sign
attracts Neighbors, Townies, Tourists, Anybodies and Stranges

"Point of Interest" Base
One of my biggest pet peeves about my sims is that I would build wonderful, relaxing gardens, beaches, and sitting rooms, but my silly sims never bothered to sit down, relax and just enjoy the great view I'd provided. When a request was posted at Simblesse Oblige's Suggestion Box forum asking for an invisible television (to use so sims would pay attention to social events, lectures, concerts, and the like) I realized it was the perfect time to clear up that old pet peeve of mine.

This object will attract Sims to come over and have fun gazing at it just as they might watch a TV. This object has no sounds associated with it but sims can still enjoy it enough to point and laugh.

This fireproof object base can be placed on ponds, pool, or slopes making it perfect for water features, art exhibits, landscaping focal points, displays for store windows, fireplace accessories or screens, window treatments for scenic windows, porch railings, or any other "point of interest" you can imagine.

This base uses Maxis' Moderate TV graphic and is nothing anyone would want to play with "as-is". The TV graphic is made by layering two sprites together to make a single graphic. In most cases you object makers will want to work on one just sprite. You can simply make the second one invisible using the same technique that is used to make backless painting.
