Changing Comfort and Energy settings?
Kittylynn:
Could anyone tell me, or point me to a tutorial that can show me, how to change the Comfort, Energy, Environment settings on a piece of furniture? and/or change the price of the item?
I have found some really nice beds and a few chairs that I like the look of, but the settings have been enhanced on them to make them the highest level of comfort, energy and environment while at the same time making it one of the cheapest priced pieces of furniture in it's category. I don't mind in my normal Sim houses, but if I'm playing a challenge of some sort I can't use them. I guess I'm too honest for my own good! :D It would be nice to be able to change the stats on those items back to where it's supposed to be for it's price level.
Gwill:
There was a thread about this not too long ago. The energy and comfort values are stored in the Behavious Constants (BCON) parts of a package. The easiest way to change them is by just copying the values from a similar piece of furniture that has the desired stats.
The price is in the Object Data (OBJD); click on the raw data tab and scroll until you find the price field. Switch to decimal to get a better grasp of what you're doing.
I do believe there is a simpler editing program around for updating basic stuff like price and catalouge description, but I haven't tried it myself. You'll need SimPE to change the actual object functions anyway.
Hegelian:
To me, it's easier to just open the object in SimPE and change the values in the Object Data section. Properties like Energy are in the Motives section, and cost in in the Money(?) section.Be sure to change the value display to decimal before changing any numbers. Make your changes, Commit, Save, and you're done.
The screen capture looks like crap because Photobucket resizes images, but you can see what you need.

Would you be willing to share where you got them from? I seem to have the opposite problem in that everything I find and like usually has a comfort value of 5 or less.
I like having cheaty things in my game. :D

You can start with the Grand Trianon set at MTS2. Everything seems maxed out, at bargain-basement prices.
