McGuffey’s Reader - Historical Homework DefaultsHello! As per the usual Saturday procrastination session, I have a new piece of cc for you! I’ve been playing my decades challenge recently, and while scrolling through old photos, I realized that I hadn’t been able to find a good default for the homework in ts4, and the yellow one that came with the game definitely wouldn’t cut it in almost any historical time period, so I created these! This was originally just going to be McGuffey’s Reader, which was commonly used in the 19th and 20th centuries in elementary schools (at least in America, as far as I know), but I hit a slight roadblock: the textures on the homework are, by default, incredibly small. Although I got my originally idea into my game, it didn’t look as good as I’d hoped, and any attempts to upsize the texture and still have it function proved futile. So, I also included some options with leather books, as well as a red and blue option for variety. And here we are!Remember: you can only use one default in your game at a time!I’ll probably mess around with these textures some more and see if I can get a larger texture to work properly, but until then, I’ve also included all (I mean literally everything, I like organizing a little bit too much sometimes) of the things I used (textures, psds, etc.) to create these, so you can customize them to your heart’s content! I also plan to do a version for the university homework, but I’m a bit pressed for time, and the uni homework is mapped differently for some reason, so I’d have to redo the textures, but look out for that in the next few weeks!Enjoy your (slightly) more historically accurate games!and yes I just now realized that I spelt McGuffey’s as McGuffrey’s but it’s all in simlish so it’s fineDownload: Homework Defaults: MEGA/Boxcredits: simulacrabymotherof70 for their original medieval defaults here, serindipitysims for the palette, and @willowcreekbaby’s original 1920s homework defaults for inspiration (which I can’t seem to find right now, and their blog is gone, so feel free to drop me a link if you have one)!Update 3/21/21: Added new colors from @serindipitysims’s Historian Palette, and removed the McGuffey one, since it’s incredibly low quality and I want to see if I can fix it. If anyone still wants it for some reason, the old files are here: creator’s kit (OLD, the download above has the updated one)/original defaults (OLD) -- source link
