Great! :^D I also tried to fix this:

but it's impossible haha x_x

Anyways, is there anything more you want done to the sign? :^)


Mehh.. no worries on that.

As for anything else ... I'm sure that some sorta emblem would look nice, but ya know what I have no idea WHAT .. lol... and I do like it as is. Just a simple sign for a government building.

Just outta curiosity ... what does the sign read?

Exactly what you'd have to do will depend on the relative sizes and shapes of the two textures. But basically, first, you have to figure out which direction the texture is being stretched on that part of the mesh. Since I can't interpret mapping myself, I'd do that by making a text texture with some colorful lines drawn on that part of the texture so that you can tell which direction the texture is stretching. Once you know that, you'd take the hedge texture and compress it such that when it stretches out on the object, it will no longer be compressed but looks right. If you decide to try it, then it'll probably take several attempts until you get it right. Or it might not work at all. It doesn't always work with more heavily detailed textures, and shrub leaves count as pretty heavy detail. So, it might not be worth the effort.


Ah yes exactly! I did that when I helped Midge with her fairy wing mod (the mermaid scales) and it was a pain in the ass haha! :^D

Oh! right I get it and I can totally imagine now how this mesh is mapped....
But it looks great with the white.

Okay so this is how it looks now!:

I feel like the space over the text is perfect for a symbol/emblem..

I googled Department of Social Services emblem and got some nice results. The thing is most of them are geared toward their county/ state. I think this one might be ok if the C is removed. Could also have an a 3rd S at the end instead for Department of Sims Social Services ... wow that's a mouthful... lol

The texas one looked best! The other ones were too detailed when small :/ so I went with that! It looks like this now:

I think the emblem might be too high up, but I think, if I move it down, the mapping will eat it

Yeah that one does look good and the colors of it also tie in the colors around the sign.

I was happy with it plain .. but I do agree that all the added touches you've done have just improved it all the more. Can't wait for you to upload it so I can have it in my game :D

Sorry for the late reply!

I also liked it plain, so I’m planning on recoloring it with the emblem and without, so you can choose and use different on different lots :^) glad you are happy with my result! :^D

Also, I’m done with the other sign you asked about, just gonna create rec files for this one and then I’ll upload them both!

I'm done! :^D

Here are the recolors for Hed's sign:

(Mesh here[/URL])

Here are the recolors for TLP's sign:

(Mesh here[/URL])

And here is a simlish recolor of Hed's courtroom sign:

(Mesh here,[/URL] and this time I didn't smash my keyboard when writing lol! It says, like on the mesh, "QUIET PLEASE! Courts Are In Session")

I think that's all? If you (or anyone else) notice any problem, tell me and I'll fix it asap! :^D Sorry for the horrendous previews btw, I was lazy the recolors are merged and compressed!


Edit: Saw your message @Rosebine but couldn't answer for some reason o_O thank you for telling me! I'll make a tumblr post instead, since that would be faster than putting them in the downloads queue :^D

here is my post with download links: https://vegan-kaktus.tumblr.com/post/184475340221/ :^D
