May "More Awful Than You": Buttugly Brokeass Furniture

[frivolous]

hhaha i knew it was by the_french_sim before i even clicked the link. his stuff is

why does mts2 feature the most outrageous things no one will ever use? two featured uploads from the past that come to mind are a house pushed into the corner of a 5x5 lot with what looked to be 20GB of CC splattered all over the rest of the lot--ugly terrain paints, unessecary cows and chickens, etc (it was supposed to be a farm lol)... as well as a COUCH CAR. wtf.

[Chienne]

The actual mesh is pretty clunky too.

Well, that's because Katy (who makes most of the stuff at the Sims Mod Board) is hacker, not a mesher.  It's like expecting Pescado to make gorgeous items for his various controllers. :-)

The thing is, the mesh looks to me like the sort of angular good-idea-but-bad-execution monstrosity that FeeEssen churns out, and she and Katy often work together.  I sure hope Katy hasn't been taking meshing lessons from Fee....

[Hecubus]

Um...Chami....

What the fuck IS that?

Um...Chami....

What the fuck IS that?

My first thought was that it was a fireplace screen, but then why would it have flying saucers at the edges?  Um, yeah -- Chami, what is that?

[Flamingo]

It is a fence, supposedly. I wouldn't dare use it to fence large areas, though.

To keep good taste out?

[Flamingo]

No, the poly count is a bit high for a fence. Not to mention that it wouldn't look very nice if it was repeated all the way around the lot.

[Kyna]

Ugh, think of the polycount.  Definitely not for use in large quantities.



I feel this creator needs an honourable mention in this contest.

Dddrake at TSR specialises in recolours to match the 21 Maxis carpet colours.  He has recoloured stoves, fridges, kitchen counters, kitchen chairs, kitchen tables, pool tables, desks, chess tables, lounge chairs, sofas, bookcases, toilets, hot tubs, baths, showers, mirrors, bedding, wardrobes, end tables, lamps, etc in the same 21 colours.  When FFS came out, he produced further sets of 5 recolours of some objects to match the FFS carpets.

He has even produced 21 wall tiles and 21 floor tiles to match the 21 bathroom object recolours (which were done to match the carpets in the first place).  So we have tiles to match the carpets thanks to this creator.

Of course, we all want our sims to have a kitchen in "recycled toy".  And barfing up in a "pina colada" coloured toilet is going to make our preggie sims feel so much better.  Especially if the floor tiles match.

Back when TSR still rotated quality stuff into free rotation, it used to be damn annoying to check out what was currently free and have to go past 21 stoves and 21 kitchen benches to find anything I might actually use in my game.

[fff]

Ooh, I remember Dddrake from the days when I actually used to visit TSR. Those tiny little squashed up pics of all that recoloured shit used to make my eyes hurt. And then you'd have to scroll past about 400 pages of this crap because it was ALWAYS on the free rotation.

What I want to know is, who the hell is downloading this stuff? Who are the people who think an entire kitchen done in the exact same babyshit brown shade is the height of style? They need to be taken out the back and shot, whoever they are.

[Kyna]

I guess I'm nominating more for the annoyance factor than anything else.  To be honest, after going back and having a look at his stuff, there are one or two of his recolours that I'm thinking of adding to my game.

Thought I'd add a couple of images for people who haven't seen his stuff.  Note that these ones aren't among the items that will make it into my game.

Here's the Pina Colada kitchen:


And in free rotation, you'd get pages of recolours of objects, such as this stove done in Tropical Paradise:


The other thing that got me about his stuff was that he tended to recolour the cheapest objects.  I give my sims the more expensive objects because they give more food value or hygiene or whatever.

[Katze]

This looks like wooden furniture to me.



You can get it here.

Yeah, but at least Pes doesn't try to actually do it. What made her make this? A dare? LOL

[miros]

The duck potty is scary, and that lip urinal is just plain weird.

ead425 is gonna get sued.

and I kinda like "Watermelon".

Actually, Disney starts with "cease and desist" orders. 

[Magicmoon]

reggikko,

Do you have a link for your "Pothead" entry?

[darkholme]

I found a good one!

I think so! Man is it over the top. To much alien crapola. I love the creater saying, "Ever felt frustrated because your houses didn't look futuristic/alien enough for your poor extraterrestrial residents? Though you'd never find the right items to create lots in which they'd feel at home? A new era has come!"

Seriously I doubt they'll feel more at home with these fences and colums. In fact I think they'll want to run away! lol I mean really who wants a million alien faces around them. Or even any faces, it's like putting a sim head on a fence.. now that might be kinda morbidly funny.

[J. M. Pescado]

Hey, putting heads on stakes is a classic form of decor that just screams "Go Away". If it's good enough for Vlad the Impaler, it's good enough for you.

[Tamha]

If someone ever makes an impaled sim-head fence, I'll be sure to get it to put around your bunker!

[Avalikia]

Hmm, but I'd think that a few spears stuck into the ground with skulls hanging off the top would suffice for that, and would be in much better taste.  An entire fence is overkill when you can make the same statement with much less effort.

[Gwill]

With nanny heads!

[Berg]

Do you exchange a fence with a person?

[ChamiMinds]

Ok I guess I should have said anyone but Pes wouldn't exactly like heads on fences. Eh fine maybe a few others would like it as well. But not the majority. lol There I think I cleared that up.

[Tamha]

I so totally need to get impaled skull  decoration for lawns now, would work great with some of the other creepy S2 stuff I have! 

[polonius]

I have another entry.  This beauty by feeEssen accosted me while I was en route to innocently browse paintings by justmoi.  It's not the subject of the screenshot that bothers me, it's everything around it.  The table, for instance.  Notice how thick the surface is, and how peculiarly the table legs seem to exist perspectively - the back legs should be sticking through the wall, but they're not.  They're just... wrong.  And the colors!  My God!  She must have done a LOT of drugs in the 70s.  The curtain above the table is also puke-tacular.
Because I don't even want this picture in my Photobucket account, here's a link. http://thumbs2.modthesims2.com/images14/MTS2_524587_feeEssen_snapshot_f3087779_534e8f0e.jpg

Have your Clorox 3:Optics! at the ready.
