Great! what a pity that this project didn't go well, but thank you for sharing these two items. The popcorn vending machine will add an happy touch to community lots such as parks or seaside shopping centres. Thanks again and ciao!

Wow, these are fantastic Abstract! Thanks so much for sharing your hard work with us. Thanks to Echo for coding the item. It is sad the project didn't take off as it was a great idea. These will be a very, nice addition to the items Echo created for her circus.

I just thought you should know these don't show up in base game. They don't crash the game to have them in the download directory though. I did find it is a base game item and it maybe just my computer that it doesn't show up in.

That popcorn machine is definitely a great item, but I have a few critiques I have to mention:

1. The biggest issue for me is that the textures are quite bland (compared to Maxis objects, which are cartoony, but still have some degree of realism) and even somewhat muddy is some areas- especially around the text... it just seems really blurry to me.

2. On the topic of the text, i'm one of those nuts who just has to have Simlish in my game. For an item like this, i'm willing to make an exception, but some of the writing just made me go "WTF?"- for example, in the second screenshot, it says "Mr Pop", except the "Pop" part is backwards for some reason, so it reads as "Mr qoq", which when sounded out, sounds a little bit rude. You might wanna look into that.

This is a longed for object for me. It will be great in my moviehouses! Thank you.

danburite2 If you just have to have Simlish then don't download the object. Have you ever made anything? You have no idea how much hard work goes into something like this. It annoys me to no end when people such as yourself offer your "critiques" as if the creator is being paid to please you. This is the kind of comment that's turns many creators off. They don't have to share their objects and efforts. If you want perfect "Maxis" objects, buy the stuff packs. Oh and if you have actually made something, please share it with all of us.

I also agree with this, its sad to see how many people come out of the wood work to make sure a creator is told that they don't like how their object looks.
I know for a fact that so many creators here got so tired of people's complaints and just quit sharing their work.
You should be happy to see such great work shared with you and leave the complaining in your own home where it might serve you well.
Thanks for such a great object and we are going to have fun with popcorn in our game.
You two are fantastic creators and sure have brought quality things and fun to our games.
Thank You both.

I love your popcorn object. Thank for making it available for us. :lovestruc

Update: July 2009-I am back now to make invisible and tranparent recolors again in sims 2. You can pm me if you want your objects to be invisible and transparent from now.

Really lovely looking items Travis.

Gizmo and Mendota, remember that there's nothing wrong with someone giving constructive criticism like danburite has, so long as it is constructive. Saying "It's ugly and I hate it" would not be constructive. Nor would "Why didn't you make it blue, I want a blue one!". Constructive comments are the sort that a creator can read and take into account in future creations, even if they don't immediately apply them in the current creation.
