Medieval / wood recolors of Serinion's portable bucket from MTS.
Serinion took the Outdoor Retreat bucket (I believe used to put out campfires), tweaked the mesh to make the water level, made it portable (can be put in sims' inventory), and made it function as an off-the-grid sink. It is called Serinion's Portable Bucket for Ablution.
I thought it would be awesome for some more medieval / historical style lots but the bucket texture looked too modern so I borrowed some textures from the Maxis Boardwalk Trashcan. I resized the metal band, darkened it, and changed the shades & darkness/brightness of the wood to get different looks. I also added a rope handle to some of the buckets. Additionally, I made a darker bucket of the original texture and two cast iron textured buckets (one with rope handle & one with metal). I posted some screenshots of my earlier versions on Tumblr & got requests for the link to the download so (after getting permission from Serinion), I uploaded to MTS.
Since Teknikah used the same bucket and texture for the Sprinkler bucket, I recolored that one, but found that my recolors overwrote Teknikah's bucket so I sent Teknikah the file, the textures, color swatch info, etc to use. Teknikah's Sprinkler Bucket (which is found under electronics and functions as a sprinkler to put out fires off-the-grid) has now been updated to have all 31 of my recolors.
My 31 Recolors of Serinion's Portable Bucket is currently available on MTS (although it is pending moderator approval for some changes-- like better screenshots and additional catalog info). You MUST have Serinion's bucket with the new mesh to make it function.
Thus far I've had one user tell me there was an error "Object is missing its footprint resource". Could that be from a missing mesh?
I've never heard of that error before so I have no idea what would cause it. The only things I changed when I made my standalone recolors was the textures and swatches.
Note: the lines from the original bucket seem to show through on the textures. I'm not sure if it's in an overlay or if it's part of the mesh shape, but you barely notice it if you aren't zoomed way in. Not sure how to get rid of those lines. The inside of the bucket is stained darker near the top where the bucket had scummy stuff when water level was higher. :P (I thought the water line was higher & didn't darken the texture further down & didn't see this until I found out how to use tab for camera mode & zoomed in but I'm pretending it's staining).

Do the screenshots look OK?
