Updating CC for FT
KLGFCG:
I was able to get all the new options on custom computers by replacing the TTAB and TTAs (a la updating fridges for Seasons).
I then tried the same thing for bookcases and have run into a glitch. It sort of works: sims can read the new book types but the options to discuss and study parenting aren't available. There are also two "read book" options on the bookcase; one opens the options for the new book types, the other directs the sim to take the same old book off the shelf. Finally, the option to read a custom novel is always available (the sim just pulls out the old green book though) but if a custom novel is placed on the shelf, it's swallowed up, never to be retrieved again. Obviously, something else needs to be replaced in addition to the TTAB and TTAs but what?
On another note, custom easels, pianos, game consoles, and pool tables don't give a sim enthusiasm points in their respective hobbies (although other custom object types, like chess tables and arcade games, do give proper enthusiasm). Any thoughts how to fix this?

I didn't try to update my CCs yet, but updating TTAB and TTAs alone might not be enough for bookcase. To sell the books off pre-OFB custom bookcases, you had to add a new BCON, replace BHAV, TTAB, TTAs and OBJf. I wouldn't be surprised if FT requires more tweaking than OFB.
As this thread is now 5 pages long, and informations are scattered all over the entire thread, I edited this post to include quick links to the posts with instructions and required attachments for various type of custom objects. I'll edit this post whenever new information is added.
There is a new similar thread for AL.

How to use "Updated Resources" file
Open your custom object in SimPE. Sometimes you only have to edit one value in OBJD, but in most cases you have to replace pie menus (TTAB and TTAs), replace/add other resources like BHAV, BCON, OBJf, SLOT, STR#.
Download "updated resources" file attached in the post. Resources are grouped by folder. For TTAB and TTAs, there is only one resource for each, so there will be no room for confusion. If there are multiple resources in one folder, you can find the correct resource by the last group of numbers in their filenames.
Take a look at one of the BHAV files, for example.
42484156-00000000-FFFFFFFF-0000100C.simpe
The boldened part indicates the Instance number. Select Behaviour Function (BHAV) in the Resource Tree, find and replace the matching resource with the same instance number in the Resource List window. If you select the "Instance" tab in the Resource List window, you can sort resources by the instance number.
If there is no matching resource with the same instance number, right-click on Resource List window to add them.

For bookcases, it's very simple. You don't need to replace the TTAB and TTAs.
Object Data > Raw Data > Interaction Table ID maybe 1. Change to 3. Commit and save, and..
Now you can study parenting! ;D

Well, that was shockingly simple and seems to work like a charm in my limited testing. Yay! Thank you for the tip... I'd have never looked there!!
Does anyone have any ideas on the no-enthusiasm items? I'm guessing it's at least partially a BHAV issue since all those objects have new BHAV's for FT, but not sure what else is involved or how to fix the BHAVs.
Lord Darcy:
Wow. That's a pleasant surprise. Thank you very much for the information. :D
Reminds me of pre-OFB gates, which can be updated in similar fashion.
To run a bookstore using pre-OFB bookcases, I believe that other resources still need to be updated.
