Because no one tried it before.
I got brave and made the rileycoffeemaker and the blue and white Catcondo from Pets extracted and fixed by J.M. Pescado, recolorable and recolored it to test it.
It worked without any error in my Game it should work in yours also.
You get the Coffeemaker in darkgrey as default Color. And a silver/white and the old red texture as recolors. He has two subsets body and metal.
The Catcondo is now available in blue/white as default and additional lightbrown/white and pink/white (dont ask why
) She has only one subset.
If you make Recolors remember to import the Texture as DXT3 format or you get artifacts from Compressing in SIMPE. You could alway use the Compressorizer afterwards. I made it also it works fine.
Edit: Dont fix the Main Package the Scenegrapher displays everything inside as Orphaned. But it works, if you fix it the coffeemaker makes your game error if a sim get some Coffee and he jumps out of the action.
