do it yourself roller rink

This took a while to make, 100 objd’s to edit and numerous bhavs. The sims always wanted to put ice skates on or not skate at all (grr..). Since the one in the game is not very flexible, I ventured upon this. The skate surface is recolourable; and also, I’ve included an invisible texture, so you can use any terrain or floor underneath. You may use any fence or half-wall around it or none at all. Your choice. At 5000$ – it’s a bargain! Hope you like! :D

Other notes:

1. The concrete floor with the grassy edges is a pretty large file due to the texture being 1024×1024 pixels in size and being partially transparent at the edges. I wanted some detail on the grass, so that was inevitable. Don’t use it if your computer has a problem displaying large textures/is slow. All the other textures are half that size and fine to use for any computer.

2. The invisible texture image is showing various floors taken from the game. The rink stays fully usable.

3. I know that tiles don’t make a good rollerskating surface but I quite liked the idea of making the eastern tiles for a ballroom … or something. lol :D

    Thanks everyone! :) Hope you all have a lot of fun with it. I have used it on a beach lot in my Uni hood complete with a bamboo fence and named it “Roller Beach” (how original, lol) – but my sims love going there. It’s just a place for sims to have fun.
