Is is possible to explain where I went wrong?

You forgot to fix Text List 0x90 (Model - Bones), which the game uses to find matching blocks in the CRES.

The most important values of any type are S2 and I9. If S2 is 0, it will take the XYZ offsets from F1,F2,F3; but it is generally not done this way. The way it should be done(and is in most cases) is to have S2 have a value of 2 which tells the Slot to get the offset from the Resource Node. When it is using the resource node, it uses the I9 value as an index to Text List 0x90, reads that string and finds the block in the resource node with that name, and uses its offsets.

I was using a resource from a mod that enabled slots on maxis dessers that originally didn't have them.

Can you give me link to that mod? I have a similar unfinished mod which enables deco slots on 1-tiled OFB small dressers (like FFS and Pets dressers) on my backburner.

Or is their a tutorial on this somewhere?

Not exactly a tutorial, but this article will be helpful.

By the way, there is no Green Fashion Jeans and Embroidered Jacket, they come in blue, grey, and pink, but the file name has green  .


And there are 4 empty packages.



- Cool Cowboy with Cream Chaps

- Cool Cowboy with Tan Chaps

- El Mariachi in White

- El Mariachi with Red Vest

[Loki]

I'm having issues with the empty packages as well-redownloading the files to see if they'll work this time as they're not showing up in my bodyshop either. More maxis stupidity perhaps -shrug-


Then again I just redownloaded and it's the same issue-empty packages that I apparently paid for-more maxis screw ups. Typical.

The mariachi one is the blue vest one and the cowboy one is the one with the blue shirt and cream coloured chaps however in sims2pack clean installer it shows all three textures. The embroidered jacket outfit is the one with the grey jacket.

Look into the files if we have all Textures of the Outfit in one Package we could maybe make working recolors. Dont give EAxis more money as needed. All i need are the big Textures called LIFO.

ambodycowboychaps_bluecream.package has all 3 big LIFO.

ambodymariachi_brownblue.package has only 1.

afbodysilkembjacket_green.package has only 1.

afbodydressshiny_silver.package  has only 1.

OK made the ambodycowboychaps_bluetan & greenblack as Recolors, binned to EAxis made with the Original EAxis Textures.

@ Lord Darcy is it possible to make the recolors show up along with the originals ? Could you look into it please.

Thanks!  The mod is from TSR by Anoeskab it is called  maxis morefunctional dresser addon and maxis morefunctional superset.  There are two.  I got it from the booty.   There is a seperate file for each Maxis dresser within the RARs.  I pulled the slot file from one of them.  I didn't realize you had to do anything other than just replace the slot file. I'll read the link you provided, see if I can learn something from that.  Thanks again!

Katratzi, I see what you mean about the curtain. Will try to fix it now.
You don't have a problem with putting things in front of the window only, right?

The bed works in my game though (with all EP's). What exactly is it that's not working for you?

EDIT: Added fixed curtains.
EDIT2:And removed again since they wern't actually fixed.

[Kabuto]

Damn !

EAxis should pay you because you did their job !

[JacquiES]

Thanks to everyone who is contributing.  I am not even sure I know what is in all of these sets, but just getting them makes me feel like I am giving EAxis a big kick in the ass.    
This site may have a reputation of being a bunch of hard asses but it's nice to see everyone come together like this.  Sorry for the sap lol.

[BastDawn]

I have fixed the Cubic and the Deco Rug to have only 2x3 placing arrows and the Deco Curtain to be only one tile.

You forgot to set up the Deco Rug to base game code.  Thanks for fixing it; the re-coded version is attached now part of the group collection.

This site may have a reputation of being a bunch of hard asses but it's nice to see everyone come together like this.  Sorry for the sap lol.

It's lovely isn't it?  All of us working together, united in our hatred of MaxoidDrea and EA's paysite, sharing for the common good.   

[Night Racer]

hate maxoid drea? wot? i dont hate her....
...i just hate the sims division of EA GAMES for ruining everything
...i feel though...soon i will also hate the need for speed sector of EA  and that will make me sad   fricking pro street...*mummble*...
but um..ya..hooray for this!

[kiki]

thanks for all those that are doing this! it's great to see and I hope MaxoidDrea enjoys the angina - like many I'm looking to be hacking the clothing meshes apart / pillaging the textures to make better maxian clothing from it all but I'm wondering if anyone can confirm before I DL any of it if Jelenedra's suggestion of packaging a sim with the clothing on it post-pets EP has made the separate clothing meshes get packed up too?

for those of us that haven't DLed directly from the EA store we don't have the psuedo-stuff pack location in our EA folders that simpe could potentially reference the gmdcs, gmnds, cres and shpes from or anything like that, so I'm thinking this is possibly the only way we'll be able to get our hands on the meshes to manipulate?

[wetninja]

Correct me if I'm wrong but do I install these items right to my downloads folder just like any other cc?  I thought that I read somewhere that I couldn't do that but I can't seem to find that post.  Thanks for any help.

[Kazzandra]

^ Just plop them in your folder like normal downloads. No, you do not have to have the EA store manager. We got it now? 

Also, I have seen perhaps two or three things I would have downloaded if not for the fact that EAxis wants all of our monies. Because clearly $300 for each Simmer wasn't enough.

[wetninja]

Thanks Kazzandra,  I figured as much but with my luck I would do it that way and it wouldn't work because I wasn't suppose to!

I agree with the whole money thing, however (and please don't throw eggs at me) games like WWC and other PS3, X-box, PS2, games charge you for extra maps.  But with those they are working maps that do not require gamers to fix them before playing with them.  I don't like the idea of them continuely charging us out the nose for every little thing.  And to top it off, they don't work, and we get a nasty little malware with it.

I guess what I am saying is I can see both sides of the fence.  I just like it on this side.

[Capitaine Marie]

I probably should have stayed in perpetual lurkdom, but I wondered why the Deco build items and curtains won't show up in my game (when the other items do show).  I downloaded the fixed Deco items from the first page.

More importantly, though, I wanted to thank everyone for sharing.

[ShortyBoo]

I'm having some trouble with the clothes now. I've been downloading clothes as they were posted and they were all showing up in BodyShop with no problems but now that I've added more to my game, some of the outfits that were showing up, no longer are. Like the teen female clothes, the only outfit that shows now is the Brown Pottery Pattern Dress. The last time I was in BS before that, I had all the clothes for teens except the Pink Celtic Cutie and the Choker dresses. I'm missing several of the female adult outfits now and for the guys, I'm now missing two of the Hipster Jacket outfits that were there before. Anyone know what's going on?

EDIT: Nevermind, I fixed it. Somehow I ended up with single package files of certain outfits (like the African Skirt & Top outfits) that were also in those combined packages that have multiple outfits in one package file. I deleted the single versions and everything showed up.

[bowrain]

Thanks again for everybody who shared (this is like the 3rd time I said thanks in this thread ). All these uploads and fixes have been so... overwhelming. I'm not sure which one I should download, I guess I need to go from the first page all the way to the last one...
