EA did a great job coming up with a complete collection of matching appliances for the Free Time expansion pack except the super saturated colors they chose with the big, blue stickers were a deal breaker for me. I think they're right up there with some of the ugliest stuff EAxis has ever created and I've used them exactly zero times. So I came up with a set of default replacements for them.
(Here's a pic of those appliances so you know what you're potentially replacing just in case you blocked them out and who could blame you?)
Since these are default replacements (and I already have white and black appliances I use 99% of the time 'cause I'm boring like that) I decided to use colors that are similar to the unique colors EA chose. But I got rid of the blue stickers, toned down the colors a bit and added some black handles for a little contrast.
Green. All lined up like little soldiers.
The nine appliances pictured are included in each of the color packages:
Char-Pane Grill
Deluxe Coffee Maker by YouBrew
The Dish De-atomizer
Frugal Fruitlover's Friend
CryonicFresh
The Nanowaver
EliteChef Home Range
Timeless Toaster Oven
Gravitrash by Jackson Compaction
These files were also compressed using jfade's Compressorizer (which I highly recommend). It's a great way to reduce the size of pic heavy packages without a loss in quality. I don't usually compress the files I upload just in case I, or anyone else, wants to mess around with them later but 45 recolors was a lot so I did this time.
Green in action!
To be sure the replacement colors are actually usable (and not just less ugly) I went into four different houses and I was able to replace all of the appliances in the kitchens with at least one of these recolors--and they didn't look that bad! I might even use them. How's that for a recommendation?
Champagne Recolors
As a bonus, here's a set of champagne recolors I really like and know I'll use. I uploaded these separately in case anyone doesn't want the default replacements but wouldn't mind some recolors.
Terms of Use:
You're welcome to use these however you'd like. If any creators are interested in coming up with your own recolors for yourself, or to share, I uploaded the PSD files I made for these here . They're not perfect but it should save anyone who wants to recolor all nine of these appliances a lot of time.
