Title: Share thy Bedding and Painting!!!!!!!!! Where do ya get em? Post by: lindaetterlee on 2007 May 11, 15:34:25 Ok Here I am beggin again. Where do you get your bedding? I would like some well crafted bedding.
Also Paintings. I am talking about the ones that you put in the new paintings folder in our The sims 2 folder. Not ones that can be bought in the game. Also does anyone know where those picture frames for the paintable paintings are? Linda P.S. Yes I have searched lol Title: Re: Share thy Bedding and Painting!!!!!!!!! Where do ya get em? Post by: Zazazu on 2007 May 11, 15:41:36 All of my sim-painted custom paintings are in-game images. Sometimes I tweak them a bit. As for bedding, unfortunately most of mine is from TSR. (gag)
Title: Re: Share thy Bedding and Painting!!!!!!!!! Where do ya get em? Post by: Emma on 2007 May 11, 16:25:38 I don't tend to use much custom bedding, but Jeni (http://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/jeni/downloads/sims2/objects/furnishing/bedding/) at TSR has some lovely ones. Most of them have curtains and rugs to match too. I use my photos from the game to make custom paintings.
Title: Re: Share thy Bedding and Painting!!!!!!!!! Where do ya get em? Post by: Hecubus on 2007 May 11, 16:40:10 For paintings, I go to art.com and select images I like that will fit in the frame. Sims of mine have painted like Picasso, Gaugin, and Hockney, much to my benefit.
Beddings: check out Aussie Topenders and Piggis. Title: Re: Share thy Bedding and Painting!!!!!!!!! Where do ya get em? Post by: Stitches on 2007 May 11, 17:21:29 Ok Here I am beggin again.

Well worth pirating. In the booty under "custom frames."

Shabby, old fashioned bedding: http://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/galilea/ (http://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/galilea/) Free maybe? I don't know what TSR's policies are on SAs. *edited to add bedding links. Title: Re: Share thy Bedding and Painting!!!!!!!!! Where do ya get em? Post by: sewinglady on 2007 May 11, 18:16:01 If you want 'something completely different' (apologies to Monty Python fans), you can make you own paintings from photos from the vintage fabric that I sell...
Some of these also can make great wallpapers in game. You'll need to resize/crop them for both the paintings and wallpaper usage as I size these for eBay item descriptions. All I ask is that you don't hotlink elsewhere... http://www.ditzyprints.com/fabric/ (http://www.ditzyprints.com/fabric/) Title: Re: Share thy Bedding and Painting!!!!!!!!! Where do ya get em?

Where do ya get em? Post by: BastDawn on 2007 May 11, 19:26:04 I made a ton of sim quilts almost two years ago and still use some of them. All of them work just as well on single beds, too, as shown in screenshots of the individual items in each set. A few of them sucked, but the ones I still really like and use all the time are here:

Title: Re: Share thy Bedding and Painting!!!!!!!!! Where do ya get em? Post by: Emma on 2007 May 12, 07:33:17 Trouble is with a lot of bedding is that they look gorgeous on double beds, but not so good on single beds. Thats why I tend to download patterned bedding rather than ones with pictures/large designs on them. For some reason I have a lot of green bedding in game although I'm not a fan of green!
Title: Re: Share thy Bedding and Painting!!!!!!!!! Where do ya get em? Post by: lindaetterlee on 2007 May 12, 08:03:20 I am very picky. I will not keep a bedding if it doesn't line up perfectly on both double and singles. The line in the middle absolutely erks my nerves.

I have some really nice bedding in-game, and I know I got it from MTS2. I just can't remember who made it :D I'll go look and post back. [edit] No, it isn't from MTS2, it is from Around the Sims 2 (http://www.aroundthesims2.com/objects/single_bedding/bedding_001.html) :) Title: Re: Share thy Bedding and Painting!!!!!!!!! Where do ya get em? Post by: eevilcat on 2007 May 12, 08:11:52 That's a very loaded question as it's all down to personal taste; I tend to go for modern patterns/designs in bedding and something similar for paintings.
I've got a lot of flipchick74 bedding from MTS2 - looks great and works both on double/single beds. I've also got quite a bit of bedding from TSR, Waverley's bedroom accents coordinating sets are good. I haven't bothered much with the painting folder as yet as I tend to stick with the buyable paintings in game and sell sim paintings for all those 'Sell a Masterpiece' wants. I tend to use digital images of my own work (painting/photograph) and manipulate them with Photoshop. As an alternative have a look at some of the websites which sell digital prints and save some images from them. Museum/gallery websites are also a good source. I thought I might as well share what I do use in the way of buyable art as it's taken a long time to find good quality paintings that look right in game. There are tons of recolours of one of the Mango Sims paintings (http://mangosims2.free.fr/meubles.htm (http://mangosims2.free.fr/meubles.htm) for the mesh) at Bines Sims Revue (http://www.binessimsrevue.de (http://www.binessimsrevue.de)) as well as some good Maxis recolours. To locate the paintings click on Objects under the Sims2 menu section on the left, then click on Bines Recolours then paintings. Sims2Play (http://sims-2.gameslife.ru (http://sims-2.gameslife.ru)) are another good source of paintings and Holy Simoly also have a couple (http://www.holysimoly.com (http://www.holysimoly.com)). Title: Re: Share thy Bedding and Painting!!!!!!!!! Where do ya get em? Post by: Marhis on 2007 May 12, 12:50:16 *scratches head*
I have a few beddings from holy simoly, ATS2 and various artists at MTS2, just as others yet wrote above. For the most part, however, I do them myself, with textures I like. I'm not so good at artistic creation, so I've put up for download only two of them (those I think are the better). If anybody likes them, they're right here (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=222036) at MTS2. Title: Re: Share thy Bedding and Painting!!!!!!!!! Where do ya get em? Post by: Sleepycat on 2007 May 12, 13:23:35 I use some beautiful quilts done by Persephone at InSIM and also some by MrsKeds at InSIM
theres lots of really nice stuff at InSIM (mixed in with lots of crap like at mts2) but if anyone wants recolors for some of the cheaper maxis furniture then check out Amber1981 she has some other nice stuff too. at BogSims Institute http://www.springhole.net/bogsims/ you can find some really nice stuff, including a lot of pictures for Paintings :) Title: Re: Share thy Bedding and Painting!!!!!!!!! Where do ya get em? Post by: gethane on 2007 May 13, 03:28:02 I've got some paintings here
http://gethanesims.prismbaby.com/index.php?pg=./other/paintings_gethane/paintings_gethane And one bedding here (part of a set) http://gethanesims.prismbaby.com/index.php?pg=./other/roominabox/03/RIB_florallove And a few other beddings I was trying out here: http://gethanesims.prismbaby.com/index.php?pg=./other/bedding/bedding_gethane Title: Re: Share thy Bedding and Painting!!!!!!!!! Where do ya get em? Post by: TaWanda on 2007 May 13, 04:00:23 Love these beddings (http://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/free/sims2/objects/longlist/search_animals%20pajamas%20elephant/) and some of these (http://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/cmid_729973/sims2/objects/furnishing/bedding/longlist/)for the kiddies.
Title: Re: Share thy Bedding and Painting!!!!!!!!! Where do ya get em? Post by: lindaetterlee on 2007 May 13, 04:11:40 Oh, Gethane. I love your houses. I've never seen your Room in a boxes before. But i downloaded them lol. Also finish those farm houses I have a section in my hood that would loveeeee them.
Title: Re: Share thy Bedding and Painting!!!!!!!!! Where do ya get em? Post by: gethane on 2007 May 13, 04:41:12 *preens*
Title: Re: Share thy Bedding and Painting!!!!!!!!! Where do ya get em? Post by: Emma on 2007 May 13, 12:22:22 Those agaliha5 beddings are really nice TaWanda! I'd never seen them before, thanks for sharing. Its good that the preview pics show the bedding on both double and single beds, I like that :)
Title: Re: Share thy Bedding and Painting!!!!!!!!! Where do ya get em? Post by: TaWanda on 2007 May 13, 14:41:06 I love to theme my houses and had a hard time finding bedding for the 1950's & 60's periods until I ran across agaliha5. Her sock monkey bedding tickled me so much I had to see what else she had to offer. I've been very pleased with her stuff.
Gethane, you have some cute things, I will definitely be adding some to my collection! Title: Re: Share thy Bedding and Painting!!!!!!!!! Where do ya get em? Post by: gethane on 2007 May 13, 15:40:14 I'm so embarrassed. I included a picture on my bedding page that was not one I had made. I removed the picture now, and it was never included in the zip file. I think you can find the blue and green seashells bedding at MTS2, but I looked and looked for a link and didn't find it.
Edit: found it here: http://modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=220459 Title: Re: Share thy Bedding and Painting!!!!!!!!! Where do ya get em? Post by: lindaetterlee on 2007 May 13, 16:23:45 Gethane, stop chatting and finish those farm houses lol.
Title: Re: Share thy Bedding and Painting!!!!!!!!! Where do ya get em? Post by: Strangel on 2007 May 16, 07:36:33 I'm trying to trim down my downloads folder but I had to nick Marhis' bedding. lol
For those that do custom paintings... what size do you recommend for a not-cropped image? I get so sick of ending up with stretched or cropped paintings. Title: Re: Share thy Bedding and Painting!!!!!!!!! Where do ya get em? Post by: Emma on 2007 May 16, 08:18:27 I usually make my images about 200x250. I always try to make them longer rather than wider.
Title: Re: Share thy Bedding and Painting!!!!!!!!! Where do ya get em? Post by: gethane on 2007 May 16, 13:39:24 mine are all 256x442 and i've never noticed any distortion.
Title: Re: Share thy Bedding and Painting!!!!!!!!! Where do ya get em? Post by: kimmyfrmtx on 2007 May 16, 15:52:24 I like to use these for my knowledge sims
