This post will probably be only interesting for you, as a downloader, if you like additional slots on objects and you will, if you like to put decorative objects on top of everything. Slots are usually places in an object or in the game that can hold another object or a sim. A chair has a slot for the sim to sit in, an endtable has a routing slot, so that a sim can place stuff on it and it has a container slot, so that the player can put something there.

I have been wanting to try adding slots to dressers for a while now, and last weekend I had some time (kiddie wasn’t home) to study dressers and slots. Now, some of you may say, well Pets added slots to low dressers, so it’s not needed - BUT I don’t have Pets and didn’t know that before. I also did not know that some low dressers after Pets could even have objects put on them. However, they can only hold very very small objects like the small vase or the sunflower in a vase in the buy/decor/plants section. You can’t put any larger (or what the game sees a as “heavy”) objects on them at all. Their “support strength” isn’t high enough. None of the objects I tried from the sculpture section could be placed. I guess that is the reason I was frustrated about reading that some dressers can hold objects and any object I tried didn’t work! I thought my game was borked.

I successfully added slots to a dresser that I was working on - from scratch, there were no container slots for placing decorative items at all; it holds just about any type of sculpture, lamp or plant! Yay! I’m so happy it worked and I just had to post about it. =D

My Wordpress sites (including this one) had issues with displaying images the past few weeks. I apologise for any inconvenience this has caused. Apparently, this was an issue with .htaccess and hotlink protection. Something was conflicting and no-one really knows why or what since my site functioned properly before. It should be all fixed now but if you do have any problems viewing images, feel free to comment on this post and let me know. Thankyou. =)

I love white curtains as much as anyone else, so I had to make some. =D These work for all 3 medina curtains, of course.

Don’t forget to re-download the 2 & 3 tiled curtains, they had a minor flaw and were fixed over the weekend. See a couple of posts below this one for the info.

I hope you like! =)

I had initially made the moroccan lounge meshes with these textures but thought it would be better if the meshes had more neutral textures as not everyone will like blue decor on furniture. I like these, I hope you like too! =)

After doing some white sheer textures for the medina curtains I noticed an overlap on the meshes which resulted in a thin stripe going down the middle of the 2 tiled mesh and 2 thin stripes going down the 3 tiled mesh. I didn’t notice it on the dark colours and since I don’t really like having flawed meshes on the site for download, you can re-download them. I’m kinda picky like that. The updated ones will overwrite those on your computer. Sorry for any inconvenience (kicking myself about the extra work too, lol). Original post with the meshes has been updated aswell.
