I wonder if we could make an outdoor kitchen for the Sims like the one we're talking about for your back yard?

Coco, depending on what you're thinking of, I expect that with some help from recolors and maybe a new mesh or two, you can build just about anything. So... what would your outdoor kitchen look like?

There was that awesome backyard kitchen that Bobby Flay put together on Kitchen Accomplished on the Food Network.

Yay!! I will look for pictures!!

Whoops, it was All-Star Kitchen Makeover, sorry!

I think I found the start of the site for All-Star Kitchen Makeover...

... but I can't figure out how to find anything but pictures from the same episode.

That one is stucco. The guys were thinking they would make it brick with a base of concrete.

We could probably just recolor Maxian counters with brick and concrete. I think the trickiest part might be getting a grill built in.

Thanks, Greg! I saw these and joined just to get them. Now I see a lot of other great things! :)

I'm glad you like them, Bucket Brigade! And welcome to Sun Sims! :D

Thanks again, Greg.

I like this idea of an outdoor kitchen. Brick on a concrete base sounds perfect. Faux stone countertops would look great, too. If I had one in real life I would put rubber mats on the countertops so as not to break glassware.

Would it be possible to build a small refrigerator into a counter? The dorm refrigerator might work.

I'm sure it would be possible, Bucky. It's just a matter of finding someone who knows how to do it! :D

I could swear I saw a brick grill somewhere...

Try the MTS2 flintstones collection or caveman I think i saw something like it there!!

The Flinstones collection! Of course! What better place could there be to find objects for the ancient ritual of gathering around the fire? :D

Good idea I got to remember to search for the Flinstones on MTS2.

Seach for Simstones instead.

There's lots of cool stuff but I don't see anything that looks like an outdoor kitchen yet.

I think they just need the grill itself. The rest can be faked by wrapping a brick and concrete texture onto normal counters.

Yeah. I haven't had a chance to try any of this yet but I think even I could put a brick texture on a counter. I want to try just dropping a grill into a counter with the move_objects command. If the grill is tall enough, it ought to work quite well!

The guys didn't talk about the outdoor kitchen all weekend so I just asked and they still think its a great idea they just didn't think of it.
