More Awesome Than You!

Okay, this one has me stumped.

Up until a few days ago, I had available to me many recolors of the Lady in Red, Bella Squared, and other paintings. At some point - time specifically unknown - all EA/Maxian paintings became 'undesignable', with recolors unavailable. (No, I did not delete them. In fact, I added a few to test further.)

All other items recolor just fine - I tested Mr. Generic's Sign,  the Country Comfort Corner Table, and the Majestically Medieval Double Bed, as I KNEW I had recolors for those. I also noticed that wall hangings that are NOT pictures were recolorable (Seasons pans, masks, etc.).

So it's just paintings.

I deleted ALL content downloaded since April 8 (when I last recall having a recolorable Bella)...and did a complete reboot....no change. I looked in SimPE for any clues, but I guess I don't know enough/there aren't any. There are no error logs suggesting there are any problems. I can't seem to force any errors on the objects...they are simply nondesignable.

ANY ideas?

Have you tried reinstalling CEP?

Have you recently removed TwoJeffs' old visitor controller that used the Lady in Red paintings? Could that have upset anything? (Wild shot).

Witch...I did! I followed his instructions to remove, load, close, and add....I think I'll try that sequence again....stay tuned.

ETA: Just did the sequence again...no change. I THINK this started before twjeff's new controller; I believe I had noticed that the original painting wasn't working right and decided to ban kids so I could use a particular painting.


ETA after reloading the new CEP (seemed like a longshot at the time...but what the hell, I'll try anything): It worked. I don't know why a reload would work, but it worked.

Thanks, all.

Still wish I knew what caused it though.

I figured that if your CEP install somehow got corrupted, certain recolor options disappearing would be a likely indication. :shrug: Glad it worked, whatever went wrong.
