Default Maxis-matchy wall units pieces to build an entertainment center (bulky furniture around the TV)
I often use the Maxis TV media centers from Freetime , but I'm looking for more variety in furniture and also want to place custom TVs on it. I understood that such a bulky entertainment center is also known as a "Schrankwand" in German

ETA: I've found this set myself, but it's unfortunate that it doesn't have a separate furniture to place a custom TV on it https://web.archive.org/web/2008072.../004/index.html
But I like this one by Mutske: https://www.thesimsresource.com/art...room/id/895550/
^ I just wish other Maxis sets also have these kinds of add-ons
And this one is just what I'm looking for: https://www.thesimsresource.com/art...-ons/id/879709/

I think your best bet is to find shelves and use a free standing TV in one of the slots. Or frame shelves and bookcases around a wall tv. There's plenty of shelf sets out there, so I'll link you to a few extracted/free standing tvs. I use these:

@phantomknight thanks for the tip! I've found emptied Maxis bookshelves on this forum, but I'm still looking for Maxis sideboard add-ons to put an old-fashioned CRT TV on it. Any suggestions?

Hmm, side boards idk. There are sofa tables though. Would that work? Maybe they would be too high?

But for the shelves, if you have add ons, make sure to check out Mustke's addons at TSR. Nekosayuri added extra slots to the billy set here and the cheap bookcase set here

Otherwise check the orginals out:

Thanks for the suggestions! However, I have trouble unzipping this one. Can you download it and re-upload it, as the creator is inactive?

Having no problem with unzipping it. Maybe you need to re-download it? (And look for mutske's other Maxis match addons at TSR)

For me, WinRAR gave an error for that particular zipped file, but maybe SFS was acting weird on that moment as it works now
