Nice new forum (i.e. Playsets and Toys). I'll be downloading this one. Hats off to Nectere-type people, as well.

[Ness]

using it as we speak...  shiny!

[RainbowTigress]

Shiney!

[BlueSoup]

nectere-type people are awesome.

I guess that must be the building contest bribe?

[Carmelita]

Wonderful.  The table could look like a bale of hay and I'd still use it.  I am so sick and tired of having to cancel my Sims' action to put the caps on the counter so that they won't whine and cry at me later that they can't make their stupid omlettes because the counter is all full.  I like that it takes asp points, too.  Most of my Sims have way too many of those.

[Tina G]

Extra shiney!

[nectere]

unless they have changed that I am not aware of they look like this and are found in end tables: (except the head in hands has a stone plate under the arms instead of wooden.)

[kutto]

I like the one with the noodlesoother better than the other. Are they interchangeable as to what hat goes on what table?

[J. M. Pescado]

Each one is for a specific corresponding hat, to avoid confusing your sims. Especially since there's only one place to put a noodlesoother that makes any sense.

[kutto]

Alright, then. Life goes on.

[J. M. Pescado]

Incidentally, the hats actually go on the opposite ones, the old Nectere pictures are outdated. The thinking cap goes on the head-hands one, the Noodlesoother on the other.

[kutto]

Oh wow. That's actually kind of funny. Good thing, too. The head-hands one will look a heck of a lot better in my studies.

[bluecatvon]

Oh thx! Just what I've been complaining about! I hate it when they'll trek all the way across a jungle and a river just to put the hats down, just because the tables are occupied by books they've just finished reading. Stupid sims.

[Karen]

I really like these, especially the one for the thinking cap.  I was really getting tired of them always putting them on the kitchen counters so they couldn't prepare food.

Thanks for making these, nectere.  I prefer the thinking cap one (the wooden one with the the head wtih hands) to the one for the noodlesoother, but I don't really use the noodlesoother much anyway.

[Magicmoon]

I have to ask. What does the noodlesoother do? I've tried it out a time or 2, but happy sims don't appear to need it, and unhappy ones can't use it.

[BlueSoup]

You put it on your Sims right before they go to work, and it helps them keep that good mood.  Don't let them wear it at home.

[jrd]

My Sims don't seem to use these.

Placement issue perhaps? If I place them according to the arrow, they appear to be placed backwards. What is the trick?

[Jelenedra]

Mm, can I request another type that looks like some of the decorative busts in the game? That'd be kinda cool, and it would look like your sim put it on the statue to be cute. =p

[J. M. Pescado]

My Sims don't seem to use these.

What do you mean? Are they ignoring them in favor of the kitchen counter still?

Placement issue perhaps? If I place them according to the arrow, they appear to be placed backwards. What is the trick?

The arrow seems to face the wall if you want the hat to face forward. That just seems to be how it is.

[RainbowTigress]

If I place them according to the arrow, they appear to be placed backwards.

I noticed this too.  I haven't seen any sims use them yet because all the sims in the house currently are maxed out.

Endtables/coffeetables, yes. But I suspect this is due to:

The arrow seems to face the wall if you want the hat to face forward. That just seems to be how it is.

So does this mean I should make them accessible to Sims from the back (arrow facing the wall)? If so, that is likely why they are not using them.

[J. M. Pescado]

Endtables/coffeetables, yes. But I suspect this is due to:

Well, if the endtables are STILL being chosen, I can try bumping the favoredness-level of the tables even higher, but you might want to try making it face the right direction or something. How far away are the proper hatstands compared to the chosen endtables?
