How do you break an object so that sims can walk through it?

[SaraMK]

I need to "break" an object so that sims no longer think it exists. I need them to be able to walk through it. It's already a decorative object with no functions, but sims cannot currently walk through it.

Any ideas?

I notice that when I place things with snapobjectstogrid off, that they aren't recognized as often. Also, if it takes up two or more tiles you can turn it to an angle, and they will walk through it. The piano, pool table, and couches are great examples of this.

I believe Echo on MTS2 would know something about this, something about object footprints.

Ah, so that's what that's called. Found a tutorial and will try it out. Seems like a pretty simple change in a bhav.

SaraMK, care to share? I was working in cloning and recoloring a neighborhood deco object and hacking it so it would go over a road. Couldn't find the line that needed to be changed. Ya'd think the BHAV would be similarly named.

This is what I found and I'm testing whether it works: http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=97054

Actually, nhood deco is hacked a different way. It actually does have labeled lines where you put yes or no for things like being placeable in roads and in lots. I had it all figured out when I did my hacked nhood rocks, but can't remember much now. I could take a look for you. Or you can download my nhood rocks from MTS2 and see what number is in the "allowed in lots" line. That would be the "yes" number, and you'd use it in the "allowed in roads" line.

Here, I looked up my rocks hack. This is what you will need to look for:



You can see what I put in the "allowed in lots" line.

EDITED TO ADD: You must change removeonlotplop to 0x00000000 or the game will ignore whatever is in allowedinlot and allowedonroad.

I'll look at your rocks. That was my next step: looking at similar cc. I'm trying to mod some of the walls from BV into a sort of sci-fi barrier.

Is it going to stay nhood deco, or are you trying to make a statue out of it or something?
