I don't mind the glowing, anything is better than the default. Does no one at EAxis have any taste? Wait...why do I even bother asking that?


Well, "better" and "taste" are relative terms. If this were a simple recolor, instead of a default replacement, I would download it, but the original brick building looks better in certain neighborhoods. A choice is always better than an imposed restriction, even if you prefer the imposed restriction.


Well that is a little bit harsh. People are just figuring out modding for this game and it is much easier to do a replacement of something than to deal with cloning a new object and making a new one. We still don't really have robust tools for doing that and EA sure did not give us any tools for really editing, designing and developing neighborhoods.

I wasn't that crazy about the brick so I would rather have something than nothing. Truth be told, I'd say this probably works better in Sunset Bay while the original probably works better in Riverview, but it's still completely a matter of taste.

At any rate, I am glad someone made it and posted it and I use it.

Erry:
Actually updated now, no more glow and it is now a completely new object.

chaos:
I'm very happy that this is now a standalone object. I did like the original; I just didn't want it to be an either/or situation. Problem solved!

nanacake:
I'm pretty interested in how this was done, is there a tutorial somewhere? I would like to make my own new meshes for the rabbit holes for different themed hoods, is that possible without graphical glitches even, because I would be removing the entire clock and structure. The particle or light effects could be removed somehow I hope as long as there's no overlay by the client.

Erry:
Well, my friend explained it to me in a sort-of easy-ish way...

He cloned it, opened the package through S3PE/I and extracted the .dds files, opened through photoshop(with the plug-in), then replaced them by 'set-file' and it was recolored, I'm thinking of opening it again and recoloring the curtains to velvet red...
