I'm guessing they are now incapable of making objects at all?

That hair is hideous.

 ;D  all of the hair is hideous, the long hair for women is tolerable.  So no furniture for it then???   ;)

I don't mind the women's hair so much, but the male hair is odd. I'd love to see the bun hairstyle from the back. Why advertise a bun and not show it?

Because they are full of PHAIL.

Will someone please get and share that sleek and long adult female hairstyle?

Word. Seriously? Sleek and Elegant, huh? Not that you can tell, when the front looks like eleventy billion OTHER Eaxis hairstyles.

So people have to buy it to see what it looks like. If it sucks, they won't know until it's too late! MOAR MONEY. Also because they appear to take all their preview pictures in the exact same way. Laziness and greediness combined, I imagine.

Is there a specific person we may donate to for purchasing any items? I know there was a mention of doing that during the last round. I get paid this week, so I wouldn't mind donating some for the cause.

Give it a few days and there might be an update at demonoid's collection of Store Files.

Have someone fix those skins plz. Many of those do not have all teen-adult-elderly versions and some of them even have bad meshes!

I am requesting a fix here. Anyone want fixed versions of them too?  ;)

BTW, has anyone else also got any of those items in this new collection?

Nice clothes

I wanna post some note about Art Noveau theme of Maxis
If you have a Mansion&Garden theme you might wonder what the hell matches that double stairs?
I found - Deco set from the Sims2 store

Maybe someone who has a membership will get them? If they keep an eye out that is.

ooops, where is the preview?

oh i see what u mean now. u mean the pictures under "clothing" of the store site. if i remember correctly, i have not seen the wall painting, the bar stool and the door (or is it a window?) before. I guess there are at least 3 new objects. But if we can expect 3, we can definitely expect more. EA will not create just a few items for a brand new collection. You know what? I am starting to wonder how borked those items will be..... >:(

I'm sure that someone who is registered will put them up on MediaFryer for the rest of us. ;)

I'd also be willing to donate some money using PayPal since I can't buy at the store anymore to donate stuff. I still have 125 points left, maybe there will be two smaller objects when the furniture comes up, so I can get rid of them.

So, who will be the big buyer and uploader we can get our money to?

At least I will if I am in US or Canada or EA change its policy so that it accepts my Visa. But I am outta US or Canada.... So, no can do!

But if I were an US player and have points left out on my account, I wouldn't mind buying those new items, fixing them and then uploading them somewhere. I don't mean to be picky, but it is a fact that every single piece of items at the store are borked to some extent.

*Of course, the shared items are for those who own them already but long for fixes of them. Otherwise if you upload an untouched item to the site, EA will get you into trouble.

N.B. for me, no matter how slight the change it is, I will make some change to any Store item before uploading it. Say, I would change the catalog desciption by adding in "SiuPang" to every item's name, e.g. "SiuPang's Art Nouveau Windows". LOL
Then for those who hate me and do not want my name to appear in the objects' name, open SimPE to remove "SiuPang's" to make it back to "Art Nouveau Windows". But all the stuff that people do after downloading what I have uploaded is their business.

My point here is, someone plz *customized* the items before uploading them to avoid all those EA copyright shits. I strongly believe customized items are way better!

You don't really think this would make a legal act, do you?

As TashaFaun has said: Upload and move on!

who was donated too to get the remaining items of the asian fusion set?

maybe she'll (i think its a she anyway) will be willing to do it again

There's nothing on Demonoid as yet, have just been having a look

Uploaded the furniture @ the store (finally)... I'm loving the trashcan...  :P

the bookcase looks cool

find the set under collections>exclusives

well if anyone has some left over extra points they wanna get rid of nows the time to do it  :)

I only have 25 SimPoints left, I can't afford a single item :'(! Not even the messed clock (Display Clock by Gaudy) which surely won't inlcude broken state mesh...

I like this set, and I also like the new hair (male & female). I don't like the clothing though.

Too bad that EA doesn't let us Mexicans to download their stuff either. 

I'd like to cooperate, but according to the store my debit card "is not valid".   ::)

Oh well, if you need any help, feel free to PM me.

All of the objects (pages 1, 2, & the first item on page 3) - no clothes or hair...are here...

http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=978d493bbc0f2ca4d2db6fb9a8902bda

Enjoy!

Thanks so much femmedeluxe  :)

a few people are/were willing to donate thru paypal so someone could get the rest of the stuff do you have a paypal account an would you be willing to do it?

The items do not seem to be showing up in game for me - I'm probably missing something obvious.  Any Ideas?  I have all EP/SP's including the Store  :P

UPDATE
All Hair EXCEPT the male child hair.

http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=2ee4d43bbaac3095d2db6fb9a8902bda

i also just tryed load these objects in the game an none of them showed  ???  i have them in folder in my downloads folder  i have every pack  excluding the simstore

and Thanks Cerridwen for sharing  :)

OK I figured it out - you have to change the OBJD file file in each item from 0x008D to 0x008B.  I did that on the dining chair and then it shows up. 

I will work on fixing all the others to show up in game and reupload. 

What's with the clock? The texture looks like mildewed cheese.

EAxis sees it as Nouveaulicious cheese.

Here are all the buy/build objects with updated OBJD files so that they show up in game.

Whoops! Try this link to the fixed files:

http://www.mediafire.com/?yzmw4ntnmig

oops, that's the link to the hair again

and now the other link is showing up, so ignore me

p.s.  thanks to everyone who shares the store content with the minions.  it's much appreciated.

I checked out most of the items from the objects download, they show up no problem.   ;D but does anyone have any problems with the doors and window not letting light into the house?  and Thanks for sharing, I too would be willing to donate to help get items. 

I have noticed that the clock which is catagorized under small electronics, is actually decorative only.   ::)
I'm guessing it can be changed to be functional but I'm not sure how. 

Also the rug has 5 recolors.  All are nice but I'm not sure if this recolor was an oops or was intended to look like this.

(http://i454.photobucket.com/albums/qq268/Cerridwen2/Screenshot.jpg)

The middle is missing so the floor shows.   It kind-of looks cool with the middle missing but is that what was intended?
The bookcase works with all the FT and AL functions. 

hhmm i loaded it in Simpe an the one i have has the grey textures  ???   if i wasnt tired i'd load my game or bodyshop to see what it shows

but i'll look in the morning  ;)

I rather like the missing middle of the rug. Even if someone posts a fix, I'll keep it like that.
I'm missing the wardrobe from the fixed stuff. Is it just me?

Ok. Re-downloaded, let's hope third time is a charm.
I've had a quick look at the store and I think all the sculptures are showing up for me. I've got the Calla lily flowers and the Calla lily sulpture. The lady called A careful balance is actually an end table, if that is the one you mean.

Baa everyone.

Here is the Art Nouveaulicious collection file for residential and community.

I just bought a bunch a clothes (all the clothes except for the adult female clothes of which I just bought the first four) and the missing child's hair.  I am going to upload them as soon as possible, but I wanted to give a heads up so no one else buys the same stuff. 

Dream

Thanks for all the goodies folks.
I have noticed one or 2 probs, maybe its just me but the double door does something odd where by from one side it looks normal (although it does appear glass-less) but from the other side of the wall only one side of the door shows (I wasn't using moveobjects on). Also the teen & elder versions of the brown Shirley Temple hair have missing textures.

Other than that, I love this set. Thanks again
Xianah
xXx

These are all the male clothes and all the female child and teen clothes.  As for the adult female clothes, I got the first four...the Calla Lilly ones. 

http://www.mediafire.com/?nty4nx5dxdj

Also here is the male child hair:

http://www.mediafire.com/?jtztznmnnni

I checked out everything in Bodyshop and it all worked for me.

Thanks dream_operator for sharing

an i'm looking into the hair issuses since the textures are there   ???  they just are not showing up  >:(

Heli figured out the problem in Post 68

I've downloaded the 3 Pencil dresses and the Greco roman ones. Where do i go to locate the file so i can help out?

I also have cross detailing ones as well.

check page 1, post #2

Functional, usable Art Nouveaulicious clock. It uses Cheap clock sound, Expensive clock animation and FX. Can be placed on coffee tables.

Known issues: Mesh is too large for alarm clocks, so hand animation will be a bit off when Sims interact with the clock.
Like IKEA clock, this clock also lacks "broken state" mesh, so it will revert to the base game cheap alarm clock when it's broken.

http://www.mediafire.com/?ygojnt0zfxw


I think it WAS indeed intended. The texture has transparent part in its center. I agree that it's cool.

Thanks Lord Darcy for the alarmclock fix.   Looking at the rug again I do think it was intended as one of the other recolors available is the exact same outer patern but with an opaque middle. ( its black with some medallion looking thing).   

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?dtjalwyi1mm

That is the link to the Greco, Pencil & Cross Detailed Dresses

For those of you who want to know what the sleek bun looks like from behind here's a couple of screenies. 
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v33/hippichick/Sim%20pics/ScreenShot014.jpg)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v33/hippichick/Sim%20pics/ScreenShot013-1.jpg)

Also the curly style for the female adult and teens is missing the brown texture, red, black and blond seem ok though, forgot to check the elderly states.  ::)  I have no idea how to fix this so someone more awesome will have to fix it.

Thanks, hippi, much appreciated. I like the dragonfly bun-holder. It is much cooler than the pen I would use to keep my hair out of my face the many years that I had long hair!

http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=584c0912a51a78f5d2db6fb9a8902bda  all 3 bowdresses and slinkyblue and plum

The bun is cute. I like the dragonfly hair clip.
Thanks everyone.

The brown curly adult female and the elder curly female are missing textures. If there is anyone that knows how to fix this. It seem beyond me.

http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=0e92c0b9f54f0a54d2db6fb9a8902bda (http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=0e92c0b9f54f0a54d2db6fb9a8902bda)
fixed tfhaircurlyringlets. The adult and elder version off this hair is o.k. There are the broken textures from teen version that overridges adult and elder hair.

omg thanks for figureing it out i was stumped

an Thanks to ShadowCooper & dawnkay for sharing  :)

ok the double door is messed up. I'd fix it but i dont have a clue how. here is a pic to show what i'm talking about:

http://i431.photobucket.com/albums/qq39/TinaGallo379/snapshot_36714369_b6721b04.jpg

Thankees to everyone for sharing.  Can't wait to check 'em out in game.  ;D

Open the Door_2Tile_ArtNouveauEP99package file. Search for the OBJ  Door - 2 Tile - ArtNouveauEP99 - 1, 0 and change the 0x0001: version_1Read Only from 0x008d to 0x008b

Looks like Cerridwen missed one OBJD of double door while fixing version bitfields.

Uploaded fixed door for people who cannot use SimPE.
Also fixed the wrong door sound.

http://www.mediafire.com/?xstvmgomig1

That fixed it for me.

Should the object files go in the game folder under AL or M + G, as I have all my Lord Darcy Bonus items in AL bins - or does it matter?

Just to let everybody know I'm fixing to buy the last 4 dresses.

Edit:  Here's the link to the last 4 dresses http://www.mediafire.com/?qkzmiwndnxo - I didn't get any empty packages.

Edit: Fixed broken link - I have no idea what happened - unless Mediafire deleted it for some reason.

Ok, I need to know if it's the objects or if it's my problem. I don't get any light in thru the door or the window. http://i473.photobucket.com/albums/rr97/Telraven/borkedwindowdoor.jpg (http://i473.photobucket.com/albums/rr97/Telraven/borkedwindowdoor.jpg)
I put it in the same folder as the asian fusion window, which DOES let in light. I read about changing the load order when I didn't get any light from the Asian Fusion lights, and so I made a folder in my The Sims 2\Downloads folder called: ZZZStoreObjLightingWindows. That's where I put all of the lights and windows/doors from the store (e.g. here) and the Art Nouveau 2-tile door and window still don't let the light into the room. (I'm pretty sure that the Asian Fusion lights don't change the room they're placed in either.)  So, is there somewhere else I should put them? Or is it the objects that have the problem?

Thanks to everyone who shared!

Telraven, I can confirm that doors and windows do let light go thru, just checked them in-game. I created a new folder in my Bins (named SimsClub_ArtNouveauEP99) and saved files there. I have a folder for each Sims Store collection (named SimsClub_CollectionName) in my Bins and all new windows and doors seem to work.

I used your instructions and it worked like a charm, but I feel better using your fixed door.  Danke. ;D

Telraven,
the ArtNouvau Windows/Doors musst be loaded after AsianFusion Windows/Doors. Make a Subfolders for objects from each Store Collection:
For Example: 1_Store_Deko_Cubic, 2_Store_Spooky, 3_Store_Castle, 4_Store_Asian, 5_Store_ArtNeouvau. There are the Lights Files in Store Objects. Each NLO file overridge file from elder objects.They have the same Instanznumber. The windows/ doors from ArtNouvaucollection have a lightdefinition for Asian- and other storewindows, but asianwindows have not lightdefinitions for Artnouvauwindows.

Oh... that's right EA can't track me down who I am...  ;D

BTW, thx all!

i made it so the doors an window share the same glass an you can tell theres glass in the frames 

the glass requires nightlife  :)

http://www.mediafire.com/?1ojmntw3zm3

New Link

It doesn't work for me. I created 5 different folders, but my Asian and Art Nouveau windows and doors don't let light thru. I've got the same problem with the lamps, they don't give light.

It seems that only the Deco and Cubic works. The windows of the spooky and castle set don't work neither.

Thanks Heli,
That worked for me!!

Telraven & Lievemax...I was having the same problem with the windows & doors!  I changed up the folders as per Heli's advice and I can also confirm that all Store object windows/doors do let light thru!  (Deco/Cubic, Spooky, Castle, Asian Fusion, and Art Nouveaulicious).

For all who have probs with the doors and windows put the attached NLO file in you Downloads folder and all doors, windows and lights from all sets should have proper light.

What Heli suggested was not merely about putting the files into 5 different folders. It is more than that! You are also supposed to name them as Heli has suggested so as to ensure the order the files are loaded. Of cox, u can change them into any names provided that the same loading order is preserved. The main point is this following order:

1 Deco and Cubic
2 Spooky
3 Castle
4 Asian Fusion
5 Art Nouveaulicious

*FYI, What affect the loading order of the files are the folder names. And that order follows the alphabetic order, i.e. folder with "A" as the first letter of the folder name should be loaded before those with "B"

Thanks Havelock that worked perfectly, you are truely awesome.  I tried the file name change and it still wouldn't show light in for me, I do not have all the stuff so I don't know if that was why, like the cubic items ect... but your download worked great.

can someone explain why the cloned doors from this set dont work even after i changed the grids

Hello :)
I´ve downloaded this great Art Nouveaulicious Set - but my game crashes...
I have ep 1 ´till ep4 (pets). Do i need the store edition ?
Many thanks.

Hi Pearljam,

I have EP1 'till EP4 too. The game crashes by the lamps. All objects work fine except lamps. I don't know why.

I think you need further then ep7 (freetime), but I'm not sure.

The object flags may need to be set to base game for those objects.  I've been hoping someone would need/want to reset the flags for the Art Nouveaulicious collection; since without the flags being reset, we Mac users (and other Simmers who don't have all EPs/SPs) don't stand much chance of getting these objects to work in our games.

Are you sure?  I tested them in my mac game, and they loaded for me.  I think we have the same game config (all EPs up to BV), no?

I have all EPs up to BV for my mac and they work.  And no crashes in the lamp area either.

Thanks for the info!  To be honest, I never bothered to try them in my game "as is".  I'm so used to EA Store stuff not working that I just automatically chucked them in a folder on my Desktop and waited for a "fix".   :-[

You know what they say about assuming stuff - I clearly made an ass out of myself in this instance!   :P  Will check the objects in my game and post back if I have issues.

I just wanted to report that using the nouveau desk I get errors whenever a Sim tries to use anything placed on the left side of the desk. I've gotten errors from Sims trying to use a phone placed on the left side of the desk, and from trying to put away/recycle books & newspapers they've placed on the left side of the desk after use.
I've gotten around this by putting lamps or decor on that side of the desk so Sims don't put their books & papers there. The computer placed on the right side of desk works fine.

Stupid EAxis, why clone Seasons Country desk instead of one of base game desks? >:( Seasons Country desk has its own special BHAVs and SLOTs to block homework route. Apparently EAxian morons forgot to fix SLOTs, resulting in "no bone on model" error. Which proves once again that the entire PayShit team know nothing about Sims object structure.

Download fixed desk from here:

http://www.mediafire.com/?cawg3sjnihy

It's incredibly sad & pathetic that they continue to release payshit that needs to be repaired to function properly. Thanks for the fix, Lord Darcy.

The bookcase doesn't appear to have any options for me.  Does it work for anyone else?

The bookcase is working fine for me.

So I r-edownloaded it to make sure I had the newest version.  The bookcase still has no interactions, I can't click on it at all.  Everything from this collection shows up fine, granted I haven't double checked the usability other than placing.

I am using OSX with all EPs up to BV installed.  There must be something else in the bookcase pointing to an EP I don't have.  Did FT add something that would render the clickable options useless?

the bookcase was updated to work with FT/AL so thats proably why it dosent work with anything under FT

Try this? (http://www.mediafire.com/?zz1cgzn1dyq)  You'll still need Uni and OFB.  I'm not sure about Pets, but probably that too. 

I'm not playing with this set much, so I didn't test it very thoroughly.  Be careful if you decide to check it out; don't forget to take out the original before you put this in.  Game crashes can corrupt your 'hood. :-\

Thanks for your effort seelindarun.  I had already fixed my own copy, but I'm sure other Mac users and those without FT will like that.  I have not tested mine with Uni nor OFB, but I don't play business lots anyway.

Knightguy, your mediafire link for the fixed window/door glass is not working.

Several of the links on Mediafire give an error message saying that they were removed by the user or Mediafire (Knightguys and several of the others).  Just thought I'd let you know in case there is a problem on Mediafire's end.  Thanks. 

mine are all working

Thanks for letting me know  :)  i've made a new link in post

Has anyone else tried the "Slick Curled Hair for Boys" in the game?  It worked fine for me in Body Shop, but when I tried it in game tonight it reverted to a base game hair.  I have all EPs and all stuff packs except K&B and M&G.

(http://i333.photobucket.com/albums/m395/annabelle222/Sims%20pics/weirdhair.jpg)

ETA: Okay, I figured out what the issue was.  This hair is only available for the Everyday, Athletic, and Outerwear categories.  Why Maxis chose only those three categories is a mystery to me.  I'll fiddle around with it in SimPE and see if I can fix it.

Yeah, I just noticed the same problem today. If you're able to fix it, please upload! Thanks!

The child version of the hair is the only one that had this problem.  I corrected it in SimPE and uploaded the fixed file here (http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=68ce0897488042d79bf8d6369220dcabe04e75f6e8ebb871).  This version should work with all clothing categories.  Please let me know if it works correctly for you now!

I just tried it, and it works great. Thanks!

Thanks TashaFaun  :)  you wouldnt happen to know if that set has all fixes?   i'd check but since i'm on dialup i try avoid downloading big files if it can be avoided

yes it does, with the exception of the one hair that was just fixed. I wait until all fixes are posted before I upload the collections.

edit: re-uploaded the collection with the fixed hair

Tashafaun if you wait i'll upload files to mediafire an a small file that Argon did that removes the streaks of the afhairshortasymmetrica

http://www.mediafire.com/?jtntjmzzwom  here  :)

well the small file from argon removes the streaks from blonde an grey hair , an puts the streaked black hair in the custom hair bin   

so if you dont want the file just delete it lol

i think he did another one for brown an red hair but i dont have that file  :o

sorry about that, I thought I had all the fixed ones. Once Knightguy posts the link I will replace the ones in my mediafire with those files so they will be the correct ones. Thanks TashaFaun and Knightguy

I only have AF cornrows and asymmetrica.  Both are decustomized, but I included an extra file that adds the missing non-streaked blond and elder grey recolors of asymmetrica.  Those recolors are not decustomized.  I can't remember who made the recolors originally, and I am not awesome enough to decustomize them myself.

http://www.mediafire.com/?u0nyz5znqd5

thanks I will delete the other store hairs and add this file

Does anyone know if any slots were added to this collection?

No slots.

You mean it actually showed up? Grr it was supposed to be set to hidden... well I've been redoing it anyway, it's not done yet but it'll add a full normal set and put the streaks in the custom section. Right now I've got packages everywhere and no time to finish them.

anyway, here are the old files:
