Happy Friday, everybody!
Overview
The Midnight overproject represents a return to my roots: sci-fi stuff. My original vision was much like Modular Furniture Series 4. The difference is that whereas MFS4 was utopian and clean-ish, Midnight is more gritty, for creating sinister, dystopian sets. The objects are made from scratch by me, and thoroughly tested.
I sincerely apologize for the delay in getting this one done; other projects took priority. This is the fifth of six “neutral” (non-divisional) sets. The commissary project was a larger undertaking than I originally thought, and had to be split into three parts. As per usual, it blends seamlessly with the objects from the other Midnight sets.
Rec essentials is a medium-sized set for use in building recreational and leisure areas, chapels, and crew lounges.
The file includes:
Rec Area: All kinds of leisure activity. Functional games, electronics, and entertainment objects.
Theater: A big screen and furniture for setting up a theater.
Chapel: A set of objects for setting up a small chapel.
And as always, a collection file for easily finding your new objects.
I’ve included the master objects for the base, monitor, cushion, and glass in a separate folder. You don’t need them if you already have Midnight at the Cryo Lab, Midnight at the Crew Quarters, or Midnight at the Decontamination Chamber installed.

Hey!Yeah. You can build all kinds of neat community spaces. The chapel was kind of unplanned; I was browsing for 3D models and happened across this beautiful pew mesh, and then I remembered the Talos objects Wawa had made a while ago, and they seemed to complement each other perfectly.You can use pretty much any shape for the mesh: the tricky part about wedding arches is fixing the BHAVs so that the object self-references correctly.I have huge plans for the future. Hopefully another two big object sets will be released soon!

I love it! 😀 Now our space people can have fun when not at work. I was really not expecting the chapel or the wedding podiums. Heck, I didn't even know you could turn a wedding arch into a podium! Great work! This series of sets gets better and better each time. 😀
