Lamps! Lamps!

Today we have two lamps edited for my Victorian Sims: a table lamp by @xsavannahx987, from their "Regal Living" set; and a floor lamp from @kerriganhouse's "Antique" set!

When I first started playing The Sims 4, I found it hard to find Off The Grid lighting, and I generally only found candles - and even then, most of these still required electricity to function. Once I learned how to make lights Off The Grid, I was off running!

Once the kerosene lamp was invented, most families bought one - or several: they were able to be used for a long period of time, and didn't drop wax anywhere.

I was very happy when I discovered these lamps, and I had the vision in my mind as to what they would have looked like. The globe was decorative, and softened the light of the flame, but the flue/chimney was the functional part: it ensured the flame was steady and used most efficiently. Without the flue, the flame wavers more, burning more of the wick - then it doesn't last as long (and produced unsightly smoke!).

SO, I have opened up the globes of these lamps, added a flue and a flame, and made them Off The Grid.

The table lamp has three swatches:

The floor lamp has five swatches:

The lamps are Off-The-Grid; however, you must have the Cats & Dogs Expansion Pack.

I hope you enjoy using these lamps, as I have!!!

ATCs from November. The first one was a 5"×7" that I chopped up into 4 pieces. All three are acrylic paint on cardstock. The scarecrow was based on a kitsch ceramic piece my aunt has, and the kerosene lamp was based on the one I remember from my childhood when my family and I lived out in the country. We had a lot of rolling blackouts and kept all kinds of light sources around for after dark, including a few of the vintage glass ones. Also it's been foggy and overcast a lot lately so the trees were inspired by the weather.

does anyone here know what oil to use with my oil lamp? the reservoir is ceramic, with an adjustable tubular cotton wick and open top glass chimney. Right now I have crown brand clear lamp oil but a lot of sources online say not to use that because it will ruin my wick. A few sources say to use either aladdin brand or firefly brand lamp oil, but theyre a bit more expensive than what I currently have

The fact that you can get hurricane lanterns off of temu is concerning to me. Those things can NOT be durable, OR work properly

Seaweed

The future costs more in some places. Before the light of day could wash its face and admire its reflection, Lito was already up, toes feeling the coarseness of still cold sand along with other dead things: sea shells, seaweed, and hope that washed ashore. There is no other way but through the mangroves where the water has been kind enough not to claim the lives of the children who tread there.…

"The Gesner" - Oil Lamp

In 1854 Abraham Gesner invented kerosene (or "paraffin"), considered a much "cleaner" fuel, in comparison to previous liquid fuels at the time. It is a clear liquid that has a low scent when burned - and with a proper wick, there should be no smoke.

I have a couple Victorian oil lamps in my own home: one has a globe over a chimney, the other just the chimney (or "flue"); so, I have desperately wanted similar oil lamps for my Victorian Sims.

Using the main base from @vampireloreskill's Keroseeing lamp, I have fabricated my first oil lamp: The Gesner.

There are two versions, Transparent, and Opaque; each of these has an etched globe (very similar to the one I own), as well as two different flower decorations. Each design comes in a golden brass, silver, and wooden base; and the transparent version also features frosted variations.

(pictured above are just some of the swatches)

The lamp is Off-The-Grid; however, you must have the Cats & Dogs Expansion Pack.

I also recommend you take advantage of the light dimmer/intensity tool in Live Mode, to adjust the brightness of the globe to your desire.

Transparent: 15 swatches - three etched transparent, six with flowers; six translucent/frosted with flowers. Opaque: 9 swatches - three etched, six flowers, all opaque/translucent with glow.

The flame inside flickers, just like a real lamp!
