This is the first of two projects that I considered and gave up on multiple times before finally pulling through and getting at least a good solid start on pre-hiatus. ;>.< I tried using Aikea Guinea’s Wall Writing mesh (1) first, but the lighting (and therefore the color) was off, so I kept poking around until I finally ran across CatherineTCJD’s Wall Overlay sets over on MTS (2,3,4).
And they were perfect! ...Until I remembered why I hadn’t used them the first time I’d run across them; somehow among the various fixes over the years, the meshes had gotten slightly skewed, so they just didn’t perfectly match with the wall patterns they were supposed to replace.
But! Now that I have much more experience in MilkShape, I stiffened my resolve and fixed it myself. So! All 3 meshes (INside/Outside/Border decorative overlays) have been shifted slightly downward to match the underlying patterns exactly, and the lighting has been fixed on the INside and Border meshes to match the Outside mesh. The fixed meshes are included with their respective recolors. I recommend you check out Catherine’s original pages for the rest of the explanations regarding what these overlays do and do not.
So, without further ado... Each wall overlay comes in all 111 colors of the AKS Object Rainbow 3b (5). I own exactly none of them. To see what exactly all these colors are, where they are from, and who exactly the talented artists are that created them, please go here (6). (The color files are individually labeled with their original creator, palette, and name, but like usual I’ve probably mangled them beyond recognition by abbreviating everything.)

PS- I compiled and reorganized a few of Catherine’s wall overlays to match my organizational system. THIS IS NOT ALL OF THE OVERLAYS SHE OFFERED so if you want all of hers, you’ll still need to download them from MtS (linked above). The reorganized files can be downloaded here: http://simfil.es/3565156/
...Did I first decide I had to organize all potential Maxis overlays first? Well of course! Should you become inspired to do your own wall overlay recolors (please tag me so I’ll know where to go find them!) and would like to use my attempt at a numbering system to keep them somewhat organized:

Saturn trine or sextile moon in synastry
This is a very loyal aspect to have. Unlike the conjunction, where commitment and devotion is an intensely serious, steadfast and extremely act of the relationship, here it flows instead of steading, and whenever is manifests it falls on each other like a pleasant, heavy, but happy blanket. Saturn is soft with the moon and likes to remind her from time to time that she’s his only, even if he does this subconsciously out if habit in his affection. The moon sees saturn as a home without it losing the touch of fun in the relationship. There is a big sense of loyalty between these two, however the moon should be more understanding of how hard saturn is trying to understand and manage moon’s inner feelings, even when he fails at doing so. Saturn could pay more attention to what’s going on in moon’s head as well as her heart. If there’s strife in the relationship, this is the type of couple where one (saturn, often a man) is completely baffled by the moon being upset or distant, if he sees that she does seem to love and want him, when actually there have been very logical reasons for her to be upset. Saturn committing to understand only someone’s deepest and most vulnerable part, won’t help them then. There’s a lot of PDA with this couple. These are your parents being gross. These are the students where one of them always has their arm around the other whenever they can. They read each other’s body language very easily, and they’re likely to stay together for a long time.

I mean no fanbase is perfect but from my experience the TF fandom is pretty nice overall are there bad people in it oh yeah I’m sure but that applies to just about every fandom.
However that’s not to say I’m excusing bad things within it like misogyny and it’s good when it’s called out which thankfully does seem to be called out in this fandom.
Anyways yeah you’re right it’s not your responsibility to constantly bring up anything negative about something you enjoy.
It's not even about responsibility. It's just not necessary for me to do it all the time. Not every post needs a little disclaimer at the bottom abt how my post doesn't apply to x or y or z. I don't know why I've fallen into this need to do it--actually I do know why. It's because since I've started the habit the anon hate has gone down. It's like I'm shielding my back from every possible bad faith interpretation that could be made, and while effective it has made me just not want to post anything.
There are obviously many times when this effort and extra step need to be done but the amount of which I am doing it is exhausting and needless tbh

So, as I was fiddling around with all those... recolors... that I’ll share with you tomorrow, I decided I needed to update these two wall recolors that I previously uploaded. Because I was being lazy efficient, these updated versions HAVE REPLACED the older versions (1,2). Unfortunately, you’ll have to seek and destroy delete/remove the older versions if you want to replace them with these versions, because I used different file names for these versions to better fit with what I named their respective matching... recolors.
UPDATED to AKSOR4 colors on 4/11/2023 2/26/2024!
They come in all 110 colors of the AKS Object Rainbow 4 (3). The colors/actions that have been borrowed from the talented artists that created them are thusly labeled in the color names and the accompanying "AKSOR4ObjRnbw4ColorSIs" document. (The color files are individually labeled with their original creator, palette, and name, but it's all abbreviated so check the document to fill in the missing letters.)
