TS2 Store Stuff

[Havelock]

Is there anyone willing to fix some items I have from ea store? They are not showing up in my game. They are not items all ready found here.

I think People here would help you but we need to know which objects and what EPs you have. Because most furniture is up to Pets EP.

[Yoda_man]

I have all ep's but not the pets or freetime one.
The items i have are:
the chair with balloons
the chair with bow
the chair with sash
the wedding cake
party lamp
balloon arch
balloons
party banner
wedding bells
wedding wall garland
wedding vase flowers
wedding center piece
Anyone want to help fix them? You can have full credit & share them with everyone else.

[Kyna]

They sound like Celebrations items.  I think most people who wanted items from that SP just went and acquired Celebrations.

Not sure if fixes exist for them or not.

We may be able to repair the decorative objects even chairs may work. But the wedding cake will give problems. Cake needs Celebration SP. Thats wy downloading at the store creates a SP to update your Game with the needed funktions.

Hmmm...in that case thanks anyhow. I might just go out & buy the darn cd. Can't believe i waisted money on the ea store. Even when i downloaded it fronm the store it still didn't work.

[Yoda_man]

Shoot! i knew i should have come here first. Thanks TashaFaun!

Updated collections with the cubic and deco icons from the store page, and corrected object sort order

Thanks Argon Still waiting for your version of the objects .

I'm confused over afhairshortasymmetrica, seeing as there are so many different versions of it. Which one has both normal and hideous streak versions for all colours and adult and elder ages (and is descustomised)?

Also, once I buy the new EP do I need to move the folders into that bin?

Yes.

Weird. I just put in the base game folder and it works perfectly.

On my to do list, but not high priority with fall semester coming up. I'm just playing with the object packages in "%ProgramFiles%\EA Games\The Sims 2 Store Edition\TSData\Res\Catalog\Bins" and haven't really used them yet.

At the moment, there is no real complete set of streak and streak-less afhairshortasymemetrica. There is a recolored version of it without streaks on InSimenator.net linked earlier in the thread, but these do not match the colors of the original textures. I have a package that replaces the textures for blond and gray but does not touch red and brown. Eventually I plan on creating a set like you've described with the streaked versions under the custom category in change appearance, but hidden in bodyshop and CAS (just like the Maxis hair).

Yes.

I have several subfolders under the Bin folder, which are full of EAxis-made official stuff and hacks with OBJD overrides. I move all of them into Bin folder of the newest EP, just for principle, in case something in the newest EP overrides anything. (Especially hacks with OBJD overrides, like my Celebration cake fix.) But I guess Store objects work fine under the base game folder, as they are not likely to be overridden by any subsequent EPs/SPs anyway.

How is your version gonna be differnet then whats already done? 

[Argon]

It's highly likely that I won't change much, if I end up doing it at all. I'll probably end up packaging them all into one file and change the diagonal guid for the curtains to one of the ones that was dropped (Havelock said he created a new one?) They all work in the bins folder and there's nothing wrong with them that I've seen, so I don't see a reason to.

I like the way he did the bodyshop stuff. It was really neat and I assumed he was going to do similar thing for the objects. Besides, he's awesome I'd really love it if Argon's gonna do the objects.

[SiuPang]

I've got a question, is the "The Decadent Dresser by Decorama Designs" a new exclusive item to Store?

[Argon]

It's exclusive, but it's not new.

[Alex]

Could anyone possibly implement The Sims 2 Store Edition icon to the clothes in CAS?

Making some use of that worthless Store Edition folder in program files...

Extract to C:\Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 2 Store Edition

Will it work in Downloads? I can't be arsed to remember that I have things in a location outside of My Documents when I'm backing up TS2 stuff, so I very much prefer not to PUT anything outside of My Documents.

[cuthbert]

Anybody with the same problem?

[Emma]

Red X on a white box? Nope. No problems with them.

Yes the endtable gives 100 Hunger. You are not the only one.

WTF 

[Alex]

The table is coated with a highly delicious lacquer?

I checked the table in my game, and it does indeed have Hunger: 100. I notice the table lamp by "Decorama Designs" gives out Environment: 100. The other objects seem fine.

Almost everything works in Downloads, this included.

Funny, I just noticed that end table thing last night, too.

Anyone else having trouble with the lamps? They provide a little light, but are basically worthless for lighting a room. I noticed this last night while decorating a room with the cubic collection. I'll post a picture later, if I can remember to. Pictures added. (And I do not have any lighting mods in my game, it's Maxis default lighting.)

Edit to add pics. (Click to enlarge)

I know some lamps don't light as well, or light with colored and therefore dimmer lighting, but these just seem wrong.
