May "More Awful Than You": Buttugly Brokeass Furniture

[morriganrant]

Would you be willing to share if I batted my eyes at you and asked very prettily? I get so annoyed when the toddlers play in the toilets and then have a hissy fit because they stink. Most kids I know would happily go for days or weeks without bathing. 

I too would like this.

The exotic living room: http://www.vitasims2.com/sims2.htm (free objects)
I Find it amusing how one of the books is defying gravity, but then, I'm amused easily...

[Zazazu]

I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I actually like one or two of the items in the Exotic Modern pic. Linky? 

The ceiling lights are decent, and the super-tall sculpture is really nice. Everything else is crap.

For those who are asking for the modified FeeEssen Toddler Tub:

I would be happy to share the 'fixed' version of her tub. But I have searched both MTS2 and her original site (which is in German and doesn't work quite right when translated into Engish) and cannot find any info about her policies concerning her objects.

So if someone could direct me to a page where she has her policy posted, and the policy allows for others to modify her objects, I will gladly post it here in Peasantry. So far I have only seen her post "You can recoloriet". In the meantime, keep your eyes out for recolors of this tub. It screams for a recolor and I can't find one anywhere.

I'd like to nominate this absurd bathtub by someone who calls himself Alb@n (I have no idea which site I got this from.)  It is ridiculously huge and cuts through walls if you place it next to one and the sims disappear when the get into it because it is so enormous.  It looks more like a tomb to me.

[Hecubus]

Yeah, I think we're missing the "Brokeass" part of this challenge...that tub is a good reminder. There are some decent LOOKING items that are just broken. And stupidly so, I might add.

My nominees (I will get in-game pics, as the proof is in the playing)...

Vita Sims' Regatta bed, which disappears into the wall

Simplan-X's Irish Pub chair and stool, which don't have the animations for actually sitting on them

Sims Connection's OFB grocery set, which you can't actually PLACE anywhere (not sure I can get that pic)

[Berg]

It looks more like a tomb to me.

Yes... It's definitely a sacrificial tub. The mask in the background confirms it. Sims stupid enough to go into that tub will be sacrified to some random Tiki god.



Hey - don't we all remember those tie-dye waterslides that used to be so popular in the 60's?



Ehm.. No, we don't, because tie-dye waterslides only used to exist in the twisted mind of someone called Macey246 at MTS2 until she forgot her medication one day and released them on us 

[morriganrant]

It looks more like a tomb to me.

Wow it really does. The faucet should be removed. You then get a mod to turn bathwater red. Take many pictures of the sacrifice.

I'm willing to bet that, when a Sim washes his or her hands, they end up intersecting the sink's rim.

I think the sculpture come from glamour (the one near the bookcase).

[Li'l Brudder]

The slides aside from the tye-dye and the camo actually look okay.

I haven't tried the sink, but I am sure it probably does do that.  The sim steps right through the tub to turn the faucet on, and it is not even the faucet that you see along the side of the tub.

Hehe.  The tiki mask was my addition.  I thought it fit in with the 'tomb tub' quite well.

Wow it really does. The faucet should be removed. You then get a mod to turn bathwater red. Take many pictures of the sacrifice.

If I were even mildly awesome I might be able to accomplish that.  Seeing that I am not, I would welcome anyone else to try.  I would like a sacrificial tub like that.

No shit, it's a recolor or clone of the Maxis one.

[Li'l Brudder]

I could make it a tomb if I get the original link to where it came from.

[cenoura]

And those cribs... My mind is trying to make an association but fails completely. What the hell is it they remind me of?

Vol-au-vents. They remind me of the ones my Gran makes every Christmas. Eurgh. Except puff pastry isn't usually pink.

Oh, and I'd quite like a bookcase that did THAT in real life. It'd be great.

[Emma]

They remind me of the egg-pod things that the face-huggers burst from in 'Aliens'. But nauseatingly multi-coloured.

It took me an eternity, but I finally tracked down where I got it from.  http://purplejuice.wb.st/
It is in Objects, page 2, third downloat from the top.  (Sorry, I didn't want to hotlink it.)
The quality of the pic from the website is really awful, no wonder I was tricked into downloading it.



While I'm here, I may as well contribute another bit of fug that I found while perusing Alban's site.



The bed curtains, I believe, are from meskiste and are actually quite nice.  The rest of the bed is fugaliscious.  Once again the picture quality is atrocious, but I am not willing to try it to see how it looks in game.  Having the tomb tub clogging up my folder is quite enough.

[Zeljka]

I think the cribs kind of look like nests...
a great idea if you're bent on pretending that it really is the stork bringing that bundle of joy..

though the first thing I thought of when I saw that picture was how easy it would be for someone to make a recolour that's barbed wire or broken glass shards, 
that would be one high security crib...

Few things scream "Photoshop N00b" as loudly as Lens Flare Abuse, so I have to agree with your opinion on that one.

[SaraMK]

I make a point of not downloading anything that has a crappy, too small to see, obviously photoshopped, or taken outside the game picture. Unless of course the item has been verified by someone else as being worth downloading, or it's from one or two websites that tend to have well-made stuff despite the deceptive tactics used in the presentation.

I figure if someone sucks to the degree that they can't take a decent screenshot and upload it on the web, their ability to do proper texturing work in a complex program like Photoshop or mesh work in a 3D program and SimPE is really questionable.


ETA: Screenshots with mirrored floors suck and are a sure sign of teh n00b. Why creators insist on abusing them, I don't know.

You don't want to see this:



Ever again!

[Flamingo]

Hilariously, that is the second time the tiger room has been nominated. It's pretty much the epitome of kitsch tackiness.

[Berg]

Did someone post it earlier? If that's the case, I'm sorry - I thought I kept myself updated on this thread...

[SaraMK]

Whoever made it must really hate tigers. That thing looks dead, partially skinned, and stuffed.

[lindaetterlee]

I did see the tiger in any other threads. I guess I am having a goofy moment.

[Flamingo]

See reply number twenty-six if you want to see it. The difference is that your version includes an atrocious mesh as well.

You can even digest the horror, if you want:



The truly scary thing is that those tiger....spheres have been downloaded 1000 times.
