Custom colour of terrains

[Arky]

Hey there,

I have been searching through the net and haven't found any answer yet.

If you create a new neighboorhood in ts2 you can choose between some colours for your terrain: concrete, grass or desert.

My question is: Is it possible to give a neighboorhood a custom colour? Like for example a "star skin" to make your neighboorhood look like a Universe.

I hope you can help me. I wanna creata a universe with houses looking like space ships x)

You can make replacements for the existing terrains (there are a few of these around), but I don't think you can add additional ones.

The easiest way to do this is to download a terrain replacement that someone else has made and put the desired textures in place of the ones that the other person used.  Since they are default replacements anyway, there is no problem with conflicting GUIDs.

I made a terrain like this, and it works okay.  Most people seem to take the easy way out and throw the same texture in for every image in the package.  I went looking around in the game files -- in the program files, EA Games\The Sims 2\TSData\Res\Sims3D\Textures -- and found that each neighborhood type has a lot of textures, mostly unique in subtle ways.  So now I'm working up a replacement that goes all the way back to these game files and has the same level of detail and variation.  But it's not entirely necessary. I'm doing it because I can, mainly.
