AVALANCHE Attacks Sector 7
Eleven (eleven!!) sets of full palette + vintage wood recolors, plus some cosmetic changes to ATS2's MoodBooster meshes

Please read the notes on the photos
Some of these meshes have been edited to remove glued-on deco to lower polycounts that ranged from ridiculous to slightly miffing; some have been re-UV-mapped in attempts at sharper textures; some have not been altered at all and must be acquired through links. The photo notes will tell you want to expect inside each folder.
Edited/remapped meshes will NOT overwrite the originals. If you have the originals, they must be removed before adding these versions or the two will conflict. Meshes that have been changed will say so in the file name ('edited', 'nodeco', etc.) to distinguish them from the originals. Also, in the case of the re-mapped versions, existing recolors may work, as I have not changed the GUIDs, but they may not display correctly.
I did not create any of these meshes. The originals were all made by other creators - even the Takemizu teapot, which is extracted Maxis. All I did was remove some polybloat, shift a couple of things around, and make recolors. All altered meshes (save for Maxis) are from paysites, and acquired through Simscave's archives. Naturally, all altered meshes are included with their respective recolors. The emptied shelves do not have decorative slots, and will need OMSPs to fill.
Okay, talking over.

Table: broadened the map so it would center on the booked woodtones I used. No changes to the actual mesh.

Remsen Bookcase: removed deco. Wanted to keep the books, but they were surprisingly high-poly. Easily enough replaced with all of the deco books around. Original count: 2972 / edited: 437.

Allegro Dresser: removed deco and the top shadowbox-like extension; remapped for better detail. Original count: 2486 / edited: 846.

Simply retextures of the Maxis meshes; no structural changes made. The chair's metal textures are its own, merely painted, with a footrest texture from Flickr. The table's wood is surprisingly its own, from the "mountain resort" color option. The upholstery for both are from the Maxis basegame worn club sofa, with added colors. The tables all share the same aged wood with different leather colors, while the chair can be mixed and matched. The usual palette applies (white and olive leathers shown.)

Pretty self-explanatory - these still function exactly the same as ATS2's original MoodBooster "appliances" (cloned from the basegame coffee maker,) but have had some cosmetic changes for my own purposes. Namely, that I prefer strawberries to caviar, I don't care for Victorian-like teapots, and an herbal tea option seemed like a good opportunity for a more Asian-like set-up.
The herbal teapot is extracted from the BV ceremony table and remapped with a new aged bronze & bamboo texture, and the cups were shortened for scale; the strawberries are Seasons extracts and sitting on a ceremony table saucer; and the regular teapot is from ATS2's tea shop set, but shortened to be more in-scale to the cup, remapped to give the lid a different texture, and given a lower-poly handle. The EPs for the extractions are not required.
Herbal Tea: original count: 2256 / edited: 1244
Regular Tea: original count: 1601 / edited: 1081
Champagne: original count: 1562 / edited: 1508 (not a huge difference, but replacing the caviar was the point.)
Animations are a little off, but they only last about three seconds and don't affect gameplay. Sims don't use the Dom bottle correctly, either, and I never touched that part. Sims will also always hold a coffee mug no matter which model they use, so I think decorative value/placement outweighs the brief ur-doin-it-rong time.

And speaking of decoration, the edited teapots are both available in deco-only versions, as well.
All three MoodBoosters plus the deco-only pots are in the same folder.

Holy crap - that's it! Done! Over! No more! *faint*
Oh, and please don't upload any of this mess to any form of paysite. kthnxbuhbai.
Woohoo!

(P.s.- Is that an Almost Famous reference I see at the top? If not, I'm a moron. :P)
