⋆ 2 decorative objects to grace your toilet!
⋆ 37 various swatches
⋆ files are compressed and uniquely named

Hi everyone! There’s no way to say this that isn’t awkward, but I made something to decorate toilets specifically! I like to take inspiration from the real world, so I’ve been noticing little things that are present in our reality and have never been seen in the Sims before, at least not in my game. And I must say, I really enjoy those little flower stamps people keep putting into toilets in cleaning videos (I have one too, but it’s a very ugly shape for no reason). I thought about it and realized I’d never seen anything of the kind for the game, so I went ahead and created my first ever finished mesh from scratch, which is just a plain surface, to be honest, but it goes well with the first mesh I’ve ever converted, which I’m pretty sure was a period painkiller box… Anyway! I know small stamps like this probably wouldn’t actually color the water in the bowl, but whenever I see those things that do color it I find them really funny, so I decided to make something like that to go with the stamp. Yeah, today I’m sharing a toilet water colorant. I don’t know what to say in my defence. Toilets can be fun now!

Also, yes, the Part I in the name is a threat.

So, let’s dive in! (or rather not…)

♡ Overview

This set consist of two objects, a flower gel stamp and a colored water surface. They’re modeled to work with Maxis toilets, but are supposed to be compatible with custom ones, too, as long as they follow the Maxis shape. You don’t have to use moveobjects to position them! They can intersect any object, allowing to place them directly into the toilet. Sims don’t mind having them in the way (or their own clothing, for that matter).

Both objects can be found in Plumbing/Miscellaneous and cost §2 each.

♡ Object 1: Toilet Gel Stamp

This is an object to attach to the back of your toilet bowl. It’s supposed to be positioned as shown in the screenshots above, but maybe you could put it in other spots, I haven’t checked!

The mesh is a whole lot of 2 polygons, and it uses 128x128 textures because the flower was very cute up close and I couldn’t help myself. It’s an actual image from the game, it comes from the interests section! I made it semi-transparent so that it would look like actual gel texture (shout out to my best friend for suggesting that). It comes in 10 ridiculously bright colors that I had fun naming like they’re candy flavors. They are all supposed to smell nice, just trust me!

♡ Object 2: Toilet Water Enhancer

Maybe some of us just deserve to have pretty water inside our toilets. To achieve that, I took the mesh of actual water directly from the toilet and just put it a bit higher up, so it’s basically like a cap. Because of that, you won’t really be able to witness the animation of flushing water or see if the toilet is clogged while this object is present.

The mesh is 6 polygons and uses 128x128 textures. I made 27 recolors in various colors I think are pretty, because the whole point of this project is to add something to the bathroom that will take our minds away from its general purpose. The swatches actually use a mix of Maxis water textures.

All swatches are pictured below in alphabetical order (aside from the mesh one, ignore where it is in the picture).
