Default Ice cubes for a "fish display stage"
Here's something fun to look for:
In situations where I want a fish market, I sometimes like to display the wares on a bed of ice. For this purpose, there is a nice "fish display box" which is a shelf, and accepts all manner of deco food, both sculptures and appliances (the appliance-fish from Aysarth can be placed on shelves and floors, but not counters). The only problem is that the fish-box is a bit lower than a stage, and quite a lot lower than a counter. In some situations it's fine; in other spots I'd rather use an actual stage. Does anyone know of a flooring that I can put on a stage, that will look more like crushed ice, as in the pictured fish-boxes (bottom row), and less like bubbly glass (top left) or a glacier (top right)?

Update - In hindsight, this was sort of a silly thing to be looking for. If one were to make a flooring that resembled ice, it most likely wouldn't be ice cubes... This is, perhaps, the only scenario where one would want such a thing, so I'd be very surprised if it actually existed. I'll leave the thread open for a few days, just in case, but... @Phantomknight made some suggestions that should do the job perfectly well. Thanks again to all who gave this some thought.

So I don't have any flooring, but I found some (hopefully useful) alternatives while I was looking in my folder for grammapat's fish display request:

Princess Bliss Sim has a Fish Display, on which you can put Maxis fish or deco fish.

Then Sun&Moon's Gone Fishin' 2.0 set might have some displays you can use--there might be empty version with just the ice; I'd check. Plumbbob Keep would actually be a good place to look for floor recolors with an ice-looking texture. I'd poke around there, maybe starting with Sun&Moon's master texture file/pack? Hmm check out Sun & Moon's Mining 3.0, too since there seem to be textures to make an ice mine.

Finally OhBehave has some Shaved Ice that you can put your fish on here: https://ohbehave007.blogspot.com/20...of-goodies.html

That OhBehave one is probably as close as I'm gonna get for this particular purpose, so thanks for that one, and for the other suggestions. (I mean, would you ever think of creating ice cubes as flooring? I know I wouldn't. What a ridiculous idea. )

As for Sun & Moon... doh! Should've thought of that. I tend to cherry-pick from big download sets like that one, which sometimes leads to my missing things. Thanks, Pk!

Speaking of which, I probably should add some deco cats to my medieval market square. Maybe a white one with black ears and a little mustache.

The screenshot shows ice-bed fish displays in said medieval town market, which is probably a fairly unlikely scenario. Unless it were some highfalutin chef's market where only the cooks to the royalty shopped... in Norway, maybe... I don't suspect medieval fishmongers employed much ice.

You know, it didn't seem relevant so I wasn't going to mention it, but Tony Veis does have a fish pile that pets can eat, if you need to decorate a dock and/or distract cats.
