Thank you Numenor for your answer, of course with a link and with the name of the originalcreators and of course for free. Our site is currently down, but we want come back soon. We don´t want become a paysite, but we have to make a paypal, but we hope only for valuntary donations, we have no idea what we have to pay now for our server and all.
So if Simply Styling is back, maybe with some fine rugs , I´ll let you know.

This helped me so much, I haven't been able to use my toilet/bath rugs for a while now. I found that by removing all of the funny2401 carpetsbath_teppich rugs, I again had the others. Thank for posting your results, they saved my bathrooms!

Oh yay, I was looking for how you get the alpha to work with the rug <3 I was just using a texture with transparency, I didn't know to set the blend thing in the material definition.
My only question... why does SimPE make my textures look like total CRAP? :\ Attached is a screenshot and a clipped out copy of my texture (in JPEG format)... in the screenshot the details look like hell and the edge is all messed up and pixellated. My texture is nice and smooth. It does this to ALL textures I import, what's the deal? -_-

Great work! Thank you!

Saikatsu - are you using the Nvidia DDS tools? They generally make much nicer textures than the default "import" options.

Okay, I'm a little confused. Is Windkeeper's updated version of Echo's toilet mat that fixes the shadow issue available for download here? I see a post in this thread where Windkeeper mentioned fixing it, but no download link and Numenor's original post doesn't reference it as far as I can tell.

I did see it posted on TSR, but it's in the pay section.

I'm actually not sure which version is up there... I have a feeling it's the non-fixed version. Numenor's the only one with update options on this thread though!

*Edit* The updated toilet mat file is now included in my post below

What convenient timing! Thanks windkeeper! :clap:

Thanks so much for posting it here.

Thank you WindKeeper, I've updated the first post with the fixed toilet mat.

Yay...I can post here! I was getting desperate because it wouldn't let me post and I (oops) sent a letter for Echo and Windkeeper to the Contact Us person...I hope that doesn't get anyone mad.

Anyway, I just wanted to thank you all for the great rugs! I have a small Sim Site and I'm planning on updating soon with a recolor of the Echo rug-Windkeeper modification 2X3 showing in the picture and a recolor of the 3x4 is in the download.

I also plan on sharing the two rug bases at my site since we are allowed to do that (THANK YOU!). If you would like to see my site it is at Jaue.com/avalon although the update including the rug is not up yet.

I have fully credited the creators and MTS2 on the page with the picture and also included a text document in the download crediting them again and providing a link to the rugs thread. Also on my links page I have a link to MTS2.

I hope this is ok and that someone could please let me know if it is not. I wouldn't want to repay the kindness of the creators by flubbing up while sharing the bases!

Thanks again for the work of making the rugs and the generosity of sharing them!

I'm posting some updates below for testing. These meshes were updated to remove the shadow on the rug texture. They WILL REPLACE the files you already have, so download them ONLY if you like them. If you want to restore the original rugs, just download the files from the first post again.

*UPDATE* The sides of the 2x1 rug were switched around, you could only notice that if your rug was multicolor. Fixed that and uploaded the file here again.

*UPDATE 18/04* Fixed Numenor's bedside mat. Looks like I've uploaded the old file originally.

I wasn't aware that you could do that with the DDS. o.o; I'll try that, thanks.

WindKeeper, I agree with you that people should be able to choose whether they want the shadow or not (I for one prefer the shadow). So, I was thinking that we should restore the original toilet mat in the first post (so the complete set is shadowed), and keep as a separate download your no-shadow set.
I'm going to add to my post a link to yours, so we don't have to move all the attachments (people may get confused).

I agree with Numenor...I prefer the original one with the shadow :-)

OK, the original set *with shadow* (including the original toilet mat) can be downloaded from the first post.
The no-shadow set can be downloaded from WindKeeper's post.
I've updated the info about the shadows on the first post.

Great! Thanks Numenor! This is even better! I'm going to modify my post to include the noshadow toilet mat as well.

I'm so glad Windkeeper changed this mesh to a 'no shadow' Some new sets I was making didn't match at all since they took the shadow out of the toilet mat. Now, they look great together and match perfectly.

Thanks so much to all of you talented people.

Here's pics of before and after the 'no shadow' mesh.

I made a new rug from Echo's 2x1 - oval shaped. Since it has no shadows, I added it with the rest of my modified files in my post above. Would appreciate some testing feedback

Ah, good work Windkeeper. It'll save me from modifying the alpha each time. I'm gong to test it now. I'll get back to you.

I posted a reply over at TSR but I'll include it here too. I made my rug the same size as yours in the .png file but it has a border around it. Why is that?

The one on the left is mine made from the 2 x 1 floor mat and modified. The beige one is from your oval mesh.

oooh i love raven's recolors...are you going to be posting all the recolors you end up doing? I want them :D

My original rug has a border. You probably left the border when recoloring. Use this uv map as a template instead.

All fixed. The UV map made it much easier. Thanks Windkeeper.

anonymous,
I'm making a set of all pastel colors and I'll be posting them on TSR next week sometime. I'll have to redo all my oval mats since I had used Echo's 2 x 1 mat.

Here's the fixed rug. Windkeeper's is the beige one.

all the rugs are working perfectly in my game and i love them, thank you everyone !

weird thing tho'... the 2x3 rug has a light blue transparent icon in the decor section, instead of an example rug as an icon. all the rugs in that folder work in the game, it's just the icon that's wonky... anyone else have this problem...?
