Deleted Maxis Recolors Appearing in Game as flashing blue
Magicmoon:
I downloaded several recolors of the cheapest wood bookcase a long time ago. They might have been recolors that were done with one of the early versions of CEP, but I'm not sure.
Anyway, I deleted the recolors from within the game. But now when I load the game, those recolors show up as flashing blue with the Sensible study bookcase by Inge. (That bookcase picks up on recolors of the original it was cloned from). They have disappeared from the regular bookcase's recolors and no longer have the little trashcan delete icon available when clicked on from Inge's bookcase.
I turned on testingcheats to get the name of the offending files. They all start with Squirt followed by the color name. However, when I do a search of my download folder, I can't find any files by these names still in there.
How do I get rid of these flashing blue recolors?
Ellatrue:
Is it even possible to delete recolors from within the game anymore?
moonluck:
To delete recolors in the game post patch 2 is pretty simple. All you have to do is place the object and then get the recolor tool and delete the recolors from there.
I have no idea why Inge's bookcase is doing that though. Maybe delete the groups cashe.
Magicmoon:
I've deleted the cache several times since the problem began. That was one of my first thoughts. As far as using the recolor tool, it won't work because after I deleted the colors from within the game, the delete icon is now missing for those recolors.

I only have up to Nightlife. Are you saying you can't delete recolors from within the game after OFB?
RainbowTigress:
This was Maxis way of fixing a problem, starting with one of the OFB patches. I believe it was a fix for uniforms disappearing from the game when planning uniforms? I'm not sure because I never experienced the problem, but all EPs going forward will have this "fix."
