Thank you for these wonderful bath mats.
Thank you for my first and third credits.
Just curious, but why does the toilet rug require FreeTime?

Perfect, I only wish the same effect could be applied to all rugs. Thanks for making up for the in game stupid. :-)

Thanks! Just a question, if you have the mat in front of a shower for example, do the puddles that would be there just not show up because they get soaked up, or do they show and get soaked up after a certain amount of time? If it's the second option, how long does it take to be soaked up? (in sim time).

Ooh, neat idea.
Would it be possible to modify the mat that come with NL so THEY also soak the water up?

Fantastic set. Thank you so much for the curvy one for the corner shower. It was always annoying me, there wasn't matching shape for.
And they remove puddles? Full of win:D

Thank you!

The toilet rug is a Maxis object that was introduced in Freetime. I believe it is against the rules to make it available without requiring that EP?

It varies - updated the desription with more details.

Oh. Ok. I`m pretty sure I have in my game a decorative one that I downloaded from here, though, as part of a large package of objects. If you did not base your item on the FreeTime version in any way, I doubt that there would be many problems, especially as I clearly recall seeing very many clothing conversions that advertize that the expansion that the clothing was converted from is not required.

Then again, I am not a moderator, and am unfamiliar with the details of their policies, so my take on this may differ from theirs, and their opinion is the one that counts here, not mine.

Thank you for the explanation.

...and congratulations on getting Picked!

It is certainly possible to modify any rug to do the puddle sucking. It would of course only make sense (in my mind anyway) if they were bathroom rugs. Which rug did you have in mind?

Y'Know, I was just decorating a house last night and thought two things as I put down the bath mats 1: "Wouldn't it be nice if there were a two-tile bath mat that would actually look right putting it next to the bathtub without using cheats or placing two down." and 2: "wouldn't it be nice if these things actually soaked up puddles?" And you answered both these questions with "Yes, it would be nice....And here it is!"
Thank you, almighty mind-reader!
