This is meant just for fun, and perhaps for learning. It is both a usable mod and the source files that go with it. It re-skins the stone houses in four primary colors while obliterating any detail provided by the normal skin, such as doors and windows. It certainly removes the depressing aspect of stone houses, albeit in a rather silly way. ;D
A person intent on learning how the skins are laid out could edit the six png files included in the package, recompile and package the mod, and make genuine stone house reskins. I don't know if I have the patience required, but someone might.
Great stuff
@slink. They sure do look different from the dark, depressing stone houses :D
How cool would it be with wholesale changes to the game's environment. I guess that's what the Desert guys are up to, and Blackwood. If you talented modders had access to the graphics files, I reckon all kinds of creative mods would come out.
Crazy fun! I notice that one of
@Pangaea's citizens is getting cold. Does this mean that Lego is not a very good insulator?
It's actually the house lacking firewood. That may be a good thing, as I can't imagine a lego house would take too well to such a heat source.
Btw, I'm surprised the houses came out looking like that given what the png looks like.
@slink Love this! Thanks!
hahaha, nice
A bit strange but well done. ;)
@slink, so cool! Thank you for some color!

They sure would. I have an old, cheap graphics program that I run under WinXP on a virtual machine with which I can add all sorts of effects and play with the colors in ways I cannot do with Paint. But I can't do diddly without the original png files. It's so frustrating.

Look at the png file for the apiary. It's not at all straightforward, which part goes where.
