This is absolutely perfect in every way! Just what my sims needed to match their classic decor. Thank you very much!

When I see your name on the board I simply know that all of the community is in for an amazing treat. Your wonderful talented creations have become the diamonds within my game. I humbly thank you for such wonderful contributions.

cool! I like it a lot! perfect for ancient/classic houses

Thanks! I love it even more since you used Star Dancer as the "off" image. Perfect for some of my Victorian households.

Hi Numenor!

I am delighted to see a more flexible version of the wall painting television is now available to everyone. Elaine's Enchanted Picture implemented a primitive and non-recolourable version of this idea, and although I developed a fully recolourable version with several other advanced features at that point I discovered my destiny in StephSim, my glorious Love, my perfect completion.

I have always felt a little guilty - but not too much - that I left this and several other projects unfinished, not returning to the community a small fraction of the joy and grace that I found exactly because I became a creator for MTS2, leading me to unintentionally meet the woman whom I was born to love. Thus your "Trompe-l'oeil" has in a sense given back to the community something I was no longer able to give, thus blessing both me and the union with my perfect other. Thank you!

You sound really ecstatic I'm happy for you two! And thanks for the link to Eleine's Enchanted Picture, I didn't know about it and it's a pleasure to discover that someone used the "invisible screen" tecnique. Luckily, as I've explained somewhere (probably this thread ), I thought to this solution too late, otherwise I would have used it too: someone could have suspected that I had cloned your painting!

I perfectly understand how you feel thinking about the unfinished projects; I have many in my working folders, and even this one stayed dormant for a very long time, before I finally decided to publish it. One of these days I'll do a serious clean up in my archives :D

Well, think of that. I never even imagined something like this.

It'd be perfect for discreet Sims that don't want random TV's in odd places.

-thumbs up!-

This is so cool! Thanks!

Amazing!!

This needs to be "Featured". Really, the way this was made is sheer genius.

Numenor:
Thank You for the Painting-TV. It is a much better choice for luxurious homes and compliments the decor.

Dude, this is way cool, Bond-style hidden screen. An exceptional choice for movie and story makers. Waaay cool!

Amazing ! Thank you.

This is undoubtedly one of the best items ever for the Sims 2.

I'm going to use this in 90% of my houses. I just LOVE this. Thanks again Numenor for another wonderful item.

Always thank you for wonderful mode.
Because the television of the present age style is not suited very much even if the house
of the wind has been done in remake in old times, it has embarrassed it.

wow looks like the painting in Harry porter. lol

WOW! Thank you so much Numenor, this object is just so marvellous. You never cease to amaze me with your truly wonderful objects. You are so talented & creative, I'll never be able to thank you enough for sharing them with everyone.
God Bless you Numenor.

Thanks, Numenor! Just what my historical sims have begged for!

Oh this is so wonderful!

But one problem I ran into when using this on a lot I'm building with BGS, is that, like a regular TV, it gives off a blue light (a bit like a lamp might). When I first add it, it doesn't. But when I load the lot again, the blue light appears. And somehow blue lighting in my baroque library looks a little, well... odd.

Any chance of this being fixed or is it connected to the TV animations?

What a nice idea! Totally love the city painting version *grabs*

Small question regarding Apartment Life: Does the TV makes noise waves (that'll disturb the neighbour through the wall) or do i have to update it like all the other custom TVs i have?

whitewaterwood - That light is the one produced by the TV when it's on. In your case, it appears only because the lot is under construction, and no sim lives in it: it will automatically turn off properly as soon as a sim will put his foot into the lot

MiniMimi - Though the TV is base-game compatible, it contains the routines from Apartment Life (that are automtically activated if AL is detected). Therefore, this TV should be as "noisy" as any other Maxis TV.

Aaah Yes! One less to update!
Thank you for this useful & so beautiful TV, My sims deco is gonna be absolutely fab!

Thank goodness! Thank you for your help! Lovely upload!

Thank u so much!! Its briliant!
