Replacing pre-SEASONS fridges
Inge:
Well let's put it this way, I haven't tested in this particular situation, but I have done this sort of thing with other similar situations, like Merola's paintings and someones non-working bathtub.

I have changed catalog descriptions and modified sims in simpe so far, but I can make backups and try till my pc explodes :D Or until I get it right. Thanks for nudging me in the right direction though.
The thing you suggested-cloning and exporting interior properties- lets say I've been meaning to learn that since the tubs stopped working for pets.
Inge:
Well basically doing it this way it's just as if you were about to make your own new mesh. But what you import as the .obj mesh file is a mesh that was previously made. If you create a new object in Object Workshop, it's not prejudiced about whether you made the mesh and texture after cloning it, or before :) So basically you have the .obj (mesh) and .png (texture) on your disk. You make your new clone of a maxis fridge, then to get the mesh into it you open the GMDC resource or resources and import the .obj using the GMDC plugin's import facility. Making sure the subset names match. For the texture, the TXTR resource has an import facility, but it usually turns out better to right-click the image and use the build DXT option.
Now I am not advocating using other people's meshes and textures to make your own objects without permission. Ideally this is a way the original creator can easily update their own objects, and one would hope that they then decided to share them for free due to all the free help they have had from various members of the community, without which they would not have been able to make the objects in the first place.
