Override: Dream Home Decorator Cabinet (fixed shaders)

This is a small fix on one of the kitchen cabinets that came with the Dream Home Decorator gameplay pack. The lighting differences between the inner and outer corner pieces to everything else rendered these somewhat unusable to me, so I figured you might enjoy having that fixed too :) This is an override, so it'll replace the original item in your game (if you don't want it anymore, you can just remove it from your mods folder).

Huge thanks to @chippedcupanddustybooks for helping me figure this out (I used this tutorial, in case anyone else is curious)

Dream Home Decorator is required

You'll also need @peacemaker-ic's No Occluders mod in order for the cabinet to look right.

Please let me know how you like it, and tell me if you come across any issues :)

UPDATED: One plumbob's DHD Kitchen Recolor (fixed shaders)

@maxismatchccworld (thank you for all your work!)

Making a new post because I broke the download link in the original one and I wanted to keep it nicely streamlined :D

More information and updated download link below

Heureka! It worked!

Thanks so much to @chippedcupanddustybooks for the help in fixing the shaders (and thanks to the great tutorials in the S4S forums - I used this one)!

In the pictures you can see the difference in the upper cabinets (especially between the corner pieces and the standard piece). The left one is the fixed version that I did for my recolor set, the right one is the original kitchen set from DHD as it comes in the game.

Now that I know how it works, here's my game plan:

update the kitchen recolor with the fixed cabinets (unfortunately, you'll have to redownload if you already downloaded the set)

update the original cabinets from DHD as a default replacement

potentially update the Jungle Adventure kitchen as well as my CC based on that too (I noticed there are similar effects with that in game and now I can't unsee it)

Important note: In order for this fix to work, you'll need @peacemaker-ic's No Occluder mod (which I'd highly recommend in general anyway :D) But I'll be sure to add that information with any upload for this fix that I make :)

You can never have too many basic couches (that fit together!)

These are some recolors of the Hipster Hugger set. The big sofa is in the base game, the loveseat add-ons is by plasticbox and Lexicon Luthor made the armchair. The meshes are included and you can see all the swatches I made in the last picture.

BG compatible

So, while I was always a big fan of the kitchen that came with Jungle Adventure, I was always wishing for some more versatility in the set. The swatches never seemed to match any of my builds, I didn’t like the color of the handles and the countertops and most of all, the plates in the cabinets were driving me crazy because they always had the same bright colors. That’s why I’m presenting you this little project of mine: The Toned Down Jungle Kitchen Set!

Here’s what I did:

Made the handles a bit darker

Added more Maxis-Match wood swatches 

Added more countertops for all the different swatches (except for the ones where it’d be too matchy-matchy)

Cut off the lower part of the full-height cabinet so that it sits on the counter like the Parenthood cabinet (for one because I liked the look of the countertops still being there and also because the lighting was always off for me with the lower part)

Changed the color of the plates in the cabinets to be either black or white

The set includes the counter, the island and the cabinet.

Note: It’s a recolor/mesh edit, not a default replacement, so you’ll still have the original kitchen in your game.

Jungle Adventure required.

Please let me know how you like it, I’d love to see pictures of it in your games, too!

I started building in Greymont Bay again :) These houses are (very loosley) based on the houses on Wisteria Lane from Desperate Housewives^^ (again, very loosely :D) I think the style suits the world very well :)

Although I will probably release my new world as an empty version, this is the style I intend for the downtown area :) It’s similiar to the styles of my previous worlds but I’m trying to tone down the colorfulness a little to make it more authentic and distinct :)
