Grocery Ads in Simlish Part 1

O hai, I like to make stuff and share it! Oh yes, there's fluffiness in the air, aka it's holiday season. I'm not a big fan of Christmas, but I do enjoy the atmosphere (and the food! and the lights in the streets!). Sooo I decided to start a mini Advent Calender, mainly because I just realized it's Dec 1st & I have some stuff I'd like to share. By mini I mean I won't be posting something every day, because... I simply don't have enough stuff/time. My first Advent Gift is a set of 6 recolors of the Civic Idol poster (I think it comes with the base game?), 'cause I definitely needed some food/grocery ads in my game. Seriously, I've been wanting to make these forever. Part 1 because I plan on doing more but I had to stop because I'm made of fail & managed to screw up the .psd I was using.

The prices are completely random, and so is the text. You can try to translate it though. Also, the gorilla steak is something I had to bring up to fill up the space since I couldn't find a bigger steak/piece of meat. 
Some in-game previews.





I noticed they look a bit pixelated when you zoom out, not sure why. I'll be glad to fix it if someone knows what it is. It didn't bother me though. I hope you like and find an use for them. If (for some reason) you need my policy, it's in the sticky post. :)

These are love! Now I don't have to use the same (although awesome <3) grocery ads by Fantasyrogue in all my grocery stores. Thank you!

Fantasyrogue's ads are great, right? I felt like making my own though. :) I hope you enjoy them.
