Poll Categories
I've added a poll to the site to try and get a better feel for which of the kinds of items I prefer making you most want to see. Here are some explanations (with examples) of the categories I've listed:
Maxis Match - items made to share textures of existing Maxis items. These might be completer pieces, such as the Lap of Luxury loveseat and armchair, or things like the Charablanca or my counter-matching tables and chairs.
Bedding Match - existing Maxis items and/or custom meshes that have been set up to use the bedding files for their texture. Such as the bedding-match pet beds (which are still a little buggy, grrr), armchair, curtains, and so forth. Sort of a specialised category of the Maxis-Match idea.
Texture-Sharing Items - custom items of my own creation set up to share all their textures from a specific base item (and sometimes Maxis items as well). This would include things like my Bentform set or the Winseat set or the Curvaceous set. Pros - one recolour affects all items, Cons - that specific item might not be up in the free rotation very often.
Stand-Alone Items - okay, if you hate loathe and despise the idea of texture-sharing items, check this one. This is, quite frankly, the style of item I'm least likely to make unless it's a unique one-off item such as the Bust of Lettuce Soup or the Dish-Draining Tray. I like reusing resources! It drives me nuts to see 3 standalone meshes with 10 identical recolours each that could and in my admittedly biased opinion should be done as 3 linked meshes with 10 recolours total. I despise file number bloat!
Storytelling Props - specialised items for specialised uses. Things like the Cryogenic bed, the Water Wheel, the Railway Tunnel, and even the Flat Broke set. Not your average "use it everywhere" kind of items!
Feel free to answer via the poll, by comments here, or even by PMing me! Always interested in hearing feedback, as long as it's not the ubiqitous "Why isn't the Bentform Dining Table Free!?!" complaint.
