I just went to Store and counted... *19* new items, that's exactly the number of the Castle objects given previously.

So, i guess this newly-added download may not really be *new* to many of us here who have got more awesome version (as we have fixed most of them) of those items! 

Okay, I have got my M&G copy. No bonus given.... So the bench is definitely not offered in Hong Kong or Taiwan....

It is not offered in US and UK either.... Then, where?

AL added something like new society groups.... But how can I tell who belong to what

I guess those are new... So, I am not slow 

Those are not the ones... I know you have those new items... But the 21 new ones are different!

New items found:

Ultimate Interior Castle Bundle (includes 21 pieces)
1,275 SimPoint

Anyone still have enough points for that? 

I heard from somewhere the bench is also offered by Play.com. They have two codes or one for both the gnome and the bench.
Anyone pre-ordered there?

I guess that manager was referring to The Sims 2 Complete Collection

Richief, I have asked EA about the bench and am still waiting for their reply... If nobody has ever offered that as a bonus, I guess they will put it on the official site or Store later.

LOL,  I am an ETL... Anyway I guess chibishi need not apologise as long as he is not being rude and his English is totally understandable.
Well, chibishi, it's ok to ask for Store stuff here.... The policy here is Store stuff should be shared here and then fixed by someone more awesome than EAxis! And for the Happy Holiday Stuff, I guess someone has told you the better way of getting it: Torrent!

I guess the ones in Downtown will be fine... But those in Belladonna Cover will be screwed up, as I guess the two shared one single GUID before and the AL's 2nd Patch make the downtown one override the AL one, the downtown one will be shown.

I guess what M&G has done is making a new separate object with the AL building....

Anyway, thx for the news about M&G as I haven't got it yet but will get it next week.

EAxis' official site has this page up: http://thesims2.ea.com/getcoolstu...em_download.php?codeType=SP9BENCH . But no one ever knows which retail store made the offer to their pre-ordered customers.

I have been nosing around about this but no info can be found? Does anyone know who gave this away? Or can anyone share it with us here?
Thx!

One more thing, I just discovered that the mesh and the texture of the missing building is still in the game... So, kinda inspired by N99, I make a fix of this problem by my self... creating a new object which uses the exisiting mesh and texture from the game.... it's very similar to the one from N99, but with smaller size. Hope you will like it 

Oh! Thx so much... But IIRC, once both buildings can coexist.

Argh! I see... Then Pescado perhaps should just leave it "useless"... It's EAxis/Aspyr's fault, not yours! 

Pescado.. I just looked into the ObjectsXX.package and found that SHPE, CRES and other relevant contents like that have been removed!!! Not fixable unless I have the pre-patch files.
WTF, EAxis!!!!! I need that building the decorate my neighborhood!!! Give it back to me, EAxis!!!! *ANGRY*

I just found out that after I have the second Apartment Life patch installed, the new building which is a neighborhood object has being missing... It is still shown in the game but when you click on it, it just become that one from Nightlife...

Is this fixable Or did EAxis simply secrewed up everything so much when they made the patch they have deleted the relevant contents inside catcanhobjects.bundle.package?


This is the new building from AL... And notice that the one from Nightlife is missing.


When you click on it, it becomes the missing Nightlife building.... In other words, the two GUIDs of the building become the same with AL Patch 2... And the mesh and texture for the AL buidling becomes missing!

Could someone who haven't patched the game and is awesome enough fix this please? This can be fixed by cloning the building, I guess... At the same time, I have already requested EAxis to make the 3rd patch for this. But as we all know, EA has been facing financial problems and I guess they have cut down on labors. They may not have the hands for making the third patch in the meantime. So we had better fix it ourselves![/size][/s]

Wow, at least it works! Um... but what is it supposed to do? I have the Pet Stories game but never played that far to have the ice block table unlocked...

Ooops... I wanna ask one stupid question .

I ran the game The Sims Castaway Stories just now and did not find the remote car in game? Is that the remote car is some sorta missing objects in CS?

And I've also seen somewhere saying there is a portal "Makeshift Radio" in CS. I didn't find that in the original CS game either? Could somebody give me more info about these objects?

Hiya, Richief, how is the iceblock project going Any progress?

New Castle-themed items just appeared at The Sims Store. Time for hunting again! 

http://thesims2store.ea.com/productList.html?scategoryId=10751&categoryId=10658

YooooHooo! Cooool, man. How about those useless H&M clothing counters? It would be so wonderful if those can be made to function like normal clothing racks instead of some mere decor items!

I see. Then, is there a way to re-enabled the Youth wish? It sounds funny though a bit useless as it can be done with Vincent's Modder.

Actually, I was so absent-minded I forgot the extract the texture for it... I duno y but I do remember the last time I put the .package downloaded from CS site to Sims 2, it just worked fine with correct texture except that it overwrites the one from Seasons as they both share one GUID. And thx for the recolor... Anyway, I updated my version. Mine makes the stone wishing pot a separate object from the Seasons one. 

Nope, this one is different from the one from Seasons. The one from Seasons is called "The Little Jug of Wishes" (I hope I do remember the name correctly) and is of a different color. Put another way, this one can be considered as a recolor of the one in the standard game. I will print some screenshots to show you the difference later.
