Question about: Pet Stories and Castaway Stories Conversion for Sims 2

(1/3) > >>

robovanrobyn:
I am trying to convert the files for the Sims 2.  The Pet Stories objects are in the Simpe catalog of the version I have,  but they have an x next to them like the tester objects and the accessories and stuff.  If you put it in the game it says no picture and does not appear when placed.  I have tried changing some of the flag values.  Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?  Also with this and Castaway Stories I know you can extract individual components to convert them.  What is the simplest way to go about doing this?  If I am able to do this  I'd work on the files that look like the recolors of the original objects.  I can post whatever I am able to get converted

Try posting in the Podium.

What specific objects are you trying to clone and how are you cloning them? If you're just looking to do recolors of Maxis objects, clone the PS/CS object and uncheck the option to "pull only default color." Then, open the clone, extract the texture(s) you want to somewhere you can find them (giving them descriptive, non-random number names helps, too, "e.g. ToyRabbitHeadTexture"). Go back to OW, make a recolor of the TS2 object you've extracted a texture for and replace the texture in the recolor package with your exported one and save. Delete the clone and the exported textures. Check in game to make sure your recolor shows up. If you actually want to clone the new object so it appears separately, that's a little different (and nigh impossible for some objects - some things don't transfer well), but you'll probably get more specific help on what you're doing wrong if you post what you did in the first place.
(note: my techniques are NONAWESOME and will not produce sleek, efficient, so-small-they-barely-exist files... sorry)

I just want to convert the simle objects like the painting and stuff for Pet Stories.  They are listed in the catalog in the object workshop (like the Sims 2 objects)  but they have an x next to them like if you looked in the unknown section at some of the accessories, cars, etc.  I was wondering if they'd be convertible

KLGFCG:
Simple objects like paintings and such are probably easy enough to do. The fact that they don't show a thumbnail in OW doesn't matter (not sure why that's the case... probably OW is pulling the thumbnails from some TS2 file but doesn't look in the file for the Stories series).
