Decustomized and Updated Maxis Official Objects/Clothing (Updated 2008-10-10)

[Richief]

I tried to delete the tsDesignModeEnabled block but if I do that, the game crashes when entering the seating section of Buy Mode.

Don't touch GMND. Just deleting MMATs will do.

Really? I deleted the tsDesignModeEnabled for all your fixed objects (because I don't like them to be recolorable except for the Benno Tv and Mandal Dresser) and everything is OK for me, all of the objects are functioning correctly and there's no game crashes, except for the chandelier which still is recolorable.

[Lord Darcy]

It's OK only if you know what you're doing, which clearly isn't the case with OP. Deleting MMATs is a much safer alternative.

The line is there because I made both subsets (fabric and frame) to be recolorable.

Yes, but it looks misaligned, it's too close to the left (which doesn't happen with default EAxis's objects).

I'd like to find out how to remove that line too. But the same happens for all objects with two subsets which were only made recolorable by CEP.

EAxis objects have at least one Recolor.

You could not remove her she is part of the UI. The line appears correct if you have at least one recolor. She is centered between the subsets and has a minimum lenght witch causes the weird look if you have only the original colors and no recolors.

Thanks for the information. Glad I've made no mistake on my part. I did notice that the Deluxe preorder jukebox which you've made recolorable along with several recolors didn't have that ugly misaligned line.
Your recolors look simple and nice. Care to share when you're finished?

ETA:

* Lord Darcy baaaaas over the set of actually matching recolors and shakes fist at EAxis's laziness

Thanks!

If one like to have them why not. I made the colors you could buy the Nominell (black and green) and the Skruvsta Chair (black and white).
For the Nominell Chair there is a issue with the green recolor if you zoom out you get a small white gap on the seat. Its caused by EAxis way to map him nothing i could do against this.

I can't get the Double Deluxe Bonus items to work.  I download them but when I open the file, it says 0 files.    Please help me I want that 2nd dress, the pink one.  Please.

Link is OK. Try redownload, or get all-in-one RAR in the first post.

I tried that but the dress isn't in the mega download and also the link does work but when I install, zero files install.  I even tried the clean pack installer.  I have windows XP if that helps.  I have to use SimMaid or Clean Pack installer for raw files.  Everything else installs fine.

[Lord Darcy]

It is. Look for the file tagged with DoubleDX.

and also the link does work but when I install, zero files install.

I don't understand the "install" part. It extracts just fine for me. What do you use to extract RAR file, anyway? I use WinRAR, but 7-zip will work just fine.

I even tried the clean pack installer.

It's just an ordinary RAR file, clean pack installer won't work.

[Crow]

What do you use to extract RAW files then?  I don't have any problems with other ones with Sim Maid File.  I just get this when I use it:



Thanks!

Also, thanks to the person that recolor the office chair.  I wanted that recolor to black so badly and was too lazy to do it.  Thank you!

[Lord Darcy]

<snip>

What "RAW files"? They are all standard .package files. And what is this "Sim File Maid" thing that you keep bringing up? I have no idea what it is or does.



Why don't you get WinRAR or 7-zip like everyone else, instead of resorting to some obscure program? 7-zip is fast and free. I don't know about Mac, but I'm sure there is a widely used archiving utility for Mac users. I have no intention of changing my upload to suit your particular need when there are plenty of excellent archiving utilities available.

[witch]

From memory, it's an old program, the file maid decompresses files and puts them in the download folder. It probably wouldn't know about 7zip. I've read somewhere that users just drag a file onto the grass. 

You really don't need it Crow. Just google how to download and use Winrar or 7zip, or both. Take control of your downloads!

ETA: Actually, I thought it was a sims 1 app, it's so old.

Crow, I suggest that you read this very helpful tutorial.  This section in particular should have the info you're looking for.

[Kazzandra]

If you need a download crutch or if you're just lazy like me, you should have the Sims 2 Robofilemaid.

2008-08-01: IKEA End Table and both Dressers were updated.

Added a decorative slot for IKEA STRIND end table. Slightly adjusted slot positions and reduced slot overlapping for both IKEA MANDAL dressers.



Download

[Heli]

Is this the right version off files in the last upload for IKEA Stuff ?? I dont have a slot for Strind Table, and the files have an old date.

Exactly which version (IKEA or standalone) in which file?
And did you sell and rebuy end table?

[Heli]

Is IKEA version. I have redownloaded. The files are from 01.08. 2008 o.k. I put one deco objekt on the top. The second deco can i put on the floor but not on the shelv under.
I have all yours fixes in game. The deco slots for other objects and Stories stuff working very fine. Thank you for this. Can you only look, is this the file,that is working for you.
 
 Edit: I have Ikea bonus Staff in C: / Programme/EA Games/ FreeTime/Data/Res/Cat/Bins/Subfolder

[Lord Darcy]

If you put IKEA preorders in Bins folder, you also have to update IKEA CEP in your Downloads folder. And you have to sell exisiting end tables and re-buy them to pick up the change.

[Heli]

UPS,
you are right, in my test folder was old IKEA CEP. After update off IKEA CEP the Strind table work perfect.  One more big thanks for all.

-Argon_afbodyrainslicker_fixes (links the floating reflective material definition for the boots on those outfits)

[Alex]

What is the Lucashair?

And Lord Darcy, I noticed those decustomised website downloads in the OFB pyjamas fix topic. When will you get around to sharing those? 

[Argon]

The Andy and Lucas sims were from the official Spanish site I think, the lucas hair is a modified version of one from nightlife.

Slight problem I have with the Domestic Goddess outfit from Kitchen&Bath SP, I can't get the outfit to show up in CAS. I know it's there, because it did appear once when I was clicking the randomise button. But it's not there in the bin, not even with debug mode on. Is there a simple way to fix this with SimPE?

Have you tried deleting the CASThumbnails.package in your thumbnails folder?

Thanks for decustomizing exchange stuff. I did wonder what is wrong with that SNS preorder raincoat mesh, but I was unsure about how to fix it. I didn't realize that FFS dress used Uni dress mesh either. Can I include your superior versions for SNS Raincoat and FFS Dress in mine?
As for SNS swimsuit, I think you converted the version of Property Sets to pre-Pets.
ETA: I think I'll leave FFS dress for now, as I'm not sure what "creepy flesh colored lace" means.

Which EPs/SPs do you have? It shows up fine for me with all EPs/SPs installed.
