Title: Beer bottles
Post by: Pegasys on 2006 April 27, 08:28:11
My hubby likes to drink beer. All different kinds of beer. And what I realized is missing from my Sim's houses are beer bottles. Anyone know of any, even if they're only decorative, preferably free? I have done a search on (MTS2, Retail Sims, and a couple other sites) but haven't found any yet. Thanks in advance.

I for one am glad my game is free of beer bottles, wish I could say the same of my house.  Sorry Pegasys but if I see any in my travels I will let you know.

Justhere, thanks for replying. However, I looked through the site and couldn't find them. Are they in the members-only section where you have to be a member to preview the items?

After I made my intial post last night, I scoured several more sites. It's amazing there are all sorts of paraphanalia but surprisingly, I could not find one beer bottle or even beer can (outside of a giant sculpture one at MTS2). They must exist somewhere! I don't want to have to learn meshing just for this!

Edited to add: I think I'll post a request at MTS2...

If you buy a bar, your sim will have bottles and can drink straight from those bottles.If you really want to, I suppose you could yank the bottle out of his hands with move_objects and put it where you wish it to go...

I have beer bottles, but I have no idea where they are from. I can zip them up and send/upload them when I find them. I think they are miller lite or bud - I think I might have both actually.

I know the Sims Connection has beer bottles.  They're from FSMCD Biker Bar Set.

How do you all like SimsConnection stuff?

<is seriously pondering a sub - they have a lot of things that look like they'd be fun with OFB>

The beer bottles at SavageSims are on page 1 of the free downloads.  They're part of the BBUK lounge set for TS2.

Some of the hair styles are amazing. Rabig Angels clothes are amazing. The houses are pretty neat. The object sets aren't the best looking around, but they're pretty neat in that you can download the set and the building and plop it down and begin playing your beach or sushi restaurant. I don't like building community lots so it's perfect, especially with OFB. I miss their Starbucks set because in real life, I am always at Starbucks. It's sort of the local hangout. Which is sad.

The male hair tends to be very good though.

The male hair from Sims Connection is among my favorites. Deleted all of the female hair I had downloaded. Try some of the free female hair and check it out for yourself. ;)


Title: Re: Beer bottles
Post by: holly on 2006 April 27, 21:19:01
yeah i would agree with that the male is very good. but i have downloaded a lot of the female hair only to discover it looks weird in game


Title: Re: Beer bottles
Post by: yetyak on 2006 April 27, 21:54:28
Has anyone tried the newest male donation hair?  The still shots look good...  I, too, have kept very little of the female hair from SC. Seems like the shorter the hair, the better it behaves.


Title: Re: Beer bottles
Post by: Sagana on 2006 April 27, 23:26:21
I've kind of gone off hair anyway, way too much for me to bin very many and I like them that way. I'm just using a few that I really really like or that are already set-up. I'm most interested in the object sets, like the sushi bar and the candy shop and the carnival-ish stuff. Are the objects in them not high quality? If the objects in them look good and work well, that's mostly what I want. And the houses and clothes, so glad to hear those are good :)

I really should have started another thread, huh? <scuffle>

They look like water bottles. Not particularly good for booze hound effect at all.

The objects at Sims Connection are high quality and work well. If the animation is incorrect in any way, Sims Connections advises you of that up front.

I downloaded a Tiki bar from them and was told "sometimes the bartender shows up, and sometimes they don't".

Many of their objects are useful in other homes as individual pieces.  You would not go wrong to get a subscription for a month and download everything you want.

I understand ur pain about searching for beer bottles. Personally,I am searching for red wine glasses with half a cup of red wine in them. And believe me, I haven't found anything yet.

I found lemondae drinks, hot coco, japanese green tea BUT no red wine glasses with wine in them.

Jysudo they have a wine bottle and glasses download at http://www.meshkiste.de/ but the glasses are empty maybe if someone was kind enough they could alter it slightly so they had wine in? just thought I let you know  :)

Thanks Jysudo and everyone else for helping me on my quest for beer bottles. Turned out the SavageSims were the only free ones floating around, they're fairly decent and will do for now.  :)

The problem with the move objects on the bottles from the bar is that not only do they look like water bottles, but when you move them and place them elsewhere, they're lying on their side instead of upright.

What I really want is a hack to replace the "instant meal" with beer bottles or beer cans, especially since I never use the Instant meal option. Then my Sims can offer beer to their guests. I put in a request at MTS2... not holding my breath though.

And I don't even drink beer.... it just seems strange for my popularity male sims to be having friends over or having parties and not be able to offer beer!

Sure was, I'm always looking for male hair  :-\

Pegasys, I know Olly from SavageSims who made the beer bottles.  I don't know if he can do what you're looking for, but I'll certainly ask him if he can give it a go.

Pegasys have you looked on Insiminator.net, or wherever fireflies posts her foods these days because I am almost certain she or someone else did exactly that, bud version of the insta-meal, I used to have it and I'm sure that's where it was from.


Title: Re: Beer bottles
Post by: Pegasys on 2006 May 01, 16:16:15
Jorenne,

You know, in my search I came across a reference to food items by fireFlies but there is no fireflies at Insimenator.net anymore nor could I find any of those food items there. Hmmm....?


Title: Re: Beer bottles
Post by: Sagana on 2006 May 01, 18:04:57
Eep, her stuff isn't on insiminator anymore? I love that food, and she was doing great updates for OFB. They'd even worked out how to make custom foods clear off the plates. Dang. Anyone know what happened or where she is now?


Title: Re: Beer bottles
Post by: Jorenne on 2006 May 01, 18:59:46
I'll have a look around for you pegasys I don't know if/where shes uloading right now, or even if she is, but I'll ask around.
