Hey everyone!! And happy Halloween! Here comes the last thingie I’m gonna be uploading this spooky season. I really like grimmbats’s creations (truth be told, this isn’t even the first thing of his I’ve converted, but I’ve never posted the other one… yet?), and this one in particular caught my eye as something to convert for Halloween, of course. It’s a super adorable set of skeleton string lights! They are located under Decorations/Wall, right where the Maxis decorative string lights are, and for the humble amount of §30 you can put them up anywhere in your house. They are not super low-poly but I think it’s still quite decent. There are two versions, V1 is the one presented in the preview and in the swatch down below, and V2 looks like this:

You will need V1 to use both because V2 is repositoried to it, meaning it will use all the same textures that V1 uses. I took the original colors and added a bunch of new ones, and the string itself is now also recolorable, which I never intended at first but it kinda just happened? Both channels share one texture, and you can mix and match the recolors however you want.

Fun feature: their bright colors stay bright even when it’s completely dark! I think it’s super appropriate for the theme, and while these aren’t actual lights, they might create an illusion of glowing a bit. This is how they look with and without lighting in the room:

I hope you enjoy using them!! I know I will, they’re super cute!
