19th Century Industrial Gas Light Set
I'm currently playing the Detective career for the first time, and naturally I wanted to deck out the police station and prison into a more appropriate style for my gameplay.
I have been wanting to make these gas lights for quite a while now, and now was the perfect excuse!
As gas was first reticulated indoors, there was, of course, a need for cheap ways to take advantage of it. Candles are annoying to have to change all the time, and the wax was pretty gross (I imagine), being mostly made of animal fats.
When I first saw the chandelier from AnYe's Tuscany set, it reminded me SO much of these early gas lights!
So, I have converted them as such, and have created a wall sconce as well. All base game compatible, and off the grid!
I have seen in pictures that in an industrial/office/poor - lower class setting, these would be either with a small cage or shade around the mouth of the gas pipe; or, none at all. So, I have done this using fun invisible trickery - each swatch (10 in total) has both a naked version, and a version with a cage around it; this comes in 5 different gas pipe colours.
I have done a medium, and tall version of the chandeliers - I think a short version would be tooooo short: too short to realistically light the flames when needed.
I've started adding custom interactions to things as well; the game base interactions say things like "light.. this candle", which is not correct when it's not a candle, or when it's a chandelier!! So, I've changed the text to something more related to what the lights actually are.

COMING SOON:
As I mentioned above, I am playing the detective career for the first time. Looking at the Get To Work items, I was disappointed to see they were soo modern, and left little for a historical player. So, I have started a set specifically for the Get To Work police station and prison, and trying to make a historical-ish replacement for each required lot item. I can't wait to release this for everyone to play! I still have a few more items to make and tweak!
As always: Enjoy! Have fun!
