TUTORIAL and HACK. Hacked neighborhood deco that goes ANYWHERE.

[Zazazu]

Sure. Even if I don't use it, I'd love to look at it. That one's a modified house-plan house. I was trying to mimic the top of the lighthouse. Single mom with alien twins, who just got out of living in the same bedroom now that they are adults and have their own jobs plus are running Dance!.

What happens if you uninstall the hack? Do the neighborhood objects stay where they are?

Here Zazazu, have a look here.

Yes, they'll stay where they are even if you uninstall.

There is no file for the Uni EP in the download. Did I miss somethig? 

Hmmm.

I have no idea why it didn't get stuffed into the zip.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll attach it as soon as I get home.

Thank you so much for this. It's just what I need! I noticed the Uni EP was not in the download yet. I will check back to see when I can also add that one.

Necro'ed for a better purpose:
I just went through and applied this method to neighborhood objects for Apartment Life, FreeTime, and Mansions & Gardens. Attached are the package files. All seem to be behaving in my game, but please let me know if you have problems.

Thanks to SaraMK and Zazazu for these hacks, they make a big difference.
 
I'd like the extracted CS neighbourhood deco  (found here http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,11149.0.html) to go anywhere too.

I tried to follow the instructions given in the first post, but I'm SimPE-challenged and couldn't find the place to start (maybe because they're custom objects rather than Eaxis ones?). I can find the right spot for the Eaxis objects, but they've already been done of course. I tried opening one of the package files in SimPE, but it doesn't have the right info as far as I could see.

Would someone who has already altered them be wiling to share? Or tell me where to look for the starting point, when the objects are custom?
