Actually, modifying the OBJD is useless, so you can delete all the OBJDs from the file for an even smaller file and no CCstar. Only the BCONs matter. The OBJD values do and mean nothing.


*is very confused* (note: not a novelty)

I have been carrying around a hacked flamingo for about a year that adds one point/day to the STR values. I have no idea where I got it but I love it. About six months ago I girded my loins and tried to hack it (re-hack?) in SimPE so it would add two STR points/day. Since I don't know nothing 'bout hacking no objects, all I modified was the OBJD. But... the flamingo seems to work exactly the way I wanted it to (i.e., now keeping relationships stagnant instead of decreasing each day). Did I just get lucky? Or maybe I just think the flamingo is working?


Never mind, I searched on "OBJD" and found all *kinds* of interesting information, including the fact that I am another victim of the "placebo" effect.

Whee.

I guess I will be learning to clone this weekend.

Why do you have two enormous 1+ MB hacks for increasing the attributes of the cheap bed? Even if it was a duplicate of the cheap bed, it would not be that large! You should probably remove those, as they have been poorly made and thus do godknowswhat, given that they must include like a metric fuckton of garbage.


Those are the hacks from ailias that I've already mentioned were added after this happened. I was trying them (cautiously) because all my decent cheap, high energy double beds are broken (flashing blue) and so much has changed that I'm not comfortable altering the comfort myself any-more. What I really want is a global that raises the energy to a nice steady 6 or 7 for all beds. I have no patience with the linkage to price and frame appearance. It's a definite annoyance IMHO.


There's a global like that on MTS2. I don't have it on my computers anymore, unfortunately, but I will tell you that it DOES EXIST, or did, as of something like 2 years ago, and is probably still there.

I have made similar fixes for my personal use. They raise the energy and comfort equal to Medieval 4-poster double bed. They contain only modified BCONs and OBJD. To avoid cc asterisk in the catalog, put them into \TSData\Res\Catalog\Bins in your latest EP program folder.


Does this alter ALL beds?

And for those who asked, the lot was severely bugged with "object error--fires" but the lot debugger took care of it. Nothing visible, but as near as I could tell, the lot was full of fires sort of waiting to happen...very odd

Lot debugger--don't build homes without it!

Lord Darcy:
No. It only works for 2 Maxis beds you were raising comfort and energy with Ailias's mod. Unlike Ailias's version, it's stripped of all other redundant extra stuff like duplicate meshes and so on.

I posted the complete set for all Maxis beds up to Teen Style Stuff here. It does not work for custom beds, you have to change BCON yourself. I couldn't find the global hack Ellatrue mentioned anywhere in MTS2. Maybe it was deleted.

croiduire:
Thanks so much for your help! So let me clarify, if I put the files into \TSData\Res\Catalog\Bins it will affect the comfort of all recolours, but not clones, right?
