More eveidence of my brain not knowing when to quit

[dicreasy2]

I'd just got into bed last night when my thought processes ran something like this: "Ok, if I make the deco hats tomorrow, and do something with Cashcraft's ribbon to make it look like the ribbon on the hats, that'd be great.  I can make the workshop look functional and my milliners will be almost finished.  Oh I do need to put the jewellery rack in the workshop too, so it's a functional shop.  It's a shame the jewellery rack is so modern, since my hats are binned as jewellery.  It's be neat to have the rack look like a hat on a stand.  Has anyone ever made a default replacement jewellery rack?  Surely it'd be no different to defaulting anything else in game?  Hmmmm.  That's something to explore tomorrow, that's for sure.  And since there are several jewellery racks, I can have different ones for each holiday destination!  A tam o shanter for the highlands, and a boater for Simmouth and I don't know for Takemizu, but I'll think of something."

My brain, it doesn't know when to stop.

EDIT: Ok, so I can't have different shapes, because it's the same object for each vacation hood, but I can have different textures.  I can also clone it using SimPe so I might be able to have several different displays.  But my test object only displays the mountain recolour, not the rest.  :/  More investigation is needed.

EDIT the second: Aaaand sorted.  I treated it like a normal object and now have recolours showing up.  I have two different functional hat stands and that'll do for now.  Time to have some lunch and then I'll get on to making deco hats and pieces for the workshop.

This is why your game is always so awesome to look at! You will have to share pictures when you get the shop all set up!

Thank you. I hope it looks good and that others like looking at my pictures.

Oh I definitely will share pictures once I've finished building the lot. (I'm getting there!)

That does sound like a great idea, especially since your hats are accessories! I'm looking forward to seeing the finished shop. :)

They've turned out really well. They do look slightly different to the deco version, but my hat shop looks awesome and now it's also functional. :D
