Hi all :)
I wanted to make some bedding which could in essence be used anywhere in the game but mostly they had to fit into my hogwarts castle. All the bedding out there related to hogwarts have these big ol' crests slapped right in the middle, and I prefer it a somewhat more subtle approach.
(Also I figure, if you went way down to the dungeons, through the secret entrance-wall and past a green themed common room, you probably already know what house you're in without the crest being on your sheets)
I made a recolour which I use in my own game but it got rejected for on MTS. So I worked on the points which were:
- Texture Detail
- Shadow
I had first made a textured version but those textures seemed to big and deep to fit into the game so I went with blank ones.
My shadows and such tend to be off because I have a form of colourblindness that causes me not being able to see hues/shades in the same colour range. So I just kept adding shadow untill I saw it, not realising it would look like the deep shadows of doom to other people.
Old version

I have now added way lighter shadows, in fact I can barely see them myself. I used the ones from HystericalParoxysm and kept all the values the same.
For the texture I went with a sort of rough jute like fabric look. But I'm not sure if the texture should be more or less visible, because whenever I try to make them more visible I get the feeling it just looks very out of place in the game. Added a closeup of the bedding for clearer view of the texture.

I'd love any and all feedback you could give me, this is my first recolour for the Sims and I hope to share it with others :)
