In case the fallback GUID is mangled (like cloning from another custom stereo), this hack will work if you fix Fallback GUID to match the original Maxis stereo, is it correct?
Yep, it works just like the instruments by proxy.

There's a .bak file generated sometime when I edit the .package files (possibly when I save?). What is it for, and why is it generated?
It's there in case you made a stupid edit and want to go back to your original file. bak = backup.

Aha, of course, stupid of me not to think of that. I assume that means it's safe to delete once I've got things working. Thanks for the explanation - I am kinda new to editing stuff in simpe. :D
Lord Darcy:
Argon, could you include GUID of NL Jukebox as an exception in your Tinker by Proxy GUID hack? Jukebox does not have the repair slot, but Tinker function will appear due to the fallback ID.
OT: Lol at your new watermelon avatar. :D

Known issue: Tinkering is still unavailable for custom stereos.
*tinker by proxy guid hack magically appears
It works for any clones with intact fallback guids for the expensive stereo, moderate (single tile), and the vintage stereos.
For reference:
0x9AC9AA83 stereo expensive
0x2C7B5B6B stereo moderate
0xD3EB1C4C stereo woodcomfy
Hi Argon, I'm sort of confused on how to install your tinkering hack. Do you add it to the SimPE file of the stereo that I'm trying to edit or what? Thanks for any help you provide in advance.
Lord Darcy:
Argon's hack is a global mod. You don't include it in custom stereos or anything. Put it in your Downloads folder, and almost all custom stereos that you've already updated to FT or AL will gain Tinker function automatically.
Sometimes the creator cloned the stereo not from Maxis original but from other custom stereo, breaking Fallback GUID upon which Argon's hack relies. If so, you have to fix the Fallback GUID of custom stereo accordingly.
0x9AC9AA83 stereo expensive -> 2-tiled base game stereo
0x2C7B5B6B stereo moderate -> 1-tiled base game stereo
0xD3EB1C4C stereo woodcomfy -> FT Vintage Stereo
