Title: Updated!!! CS "The Gourd of Oversized Dreams" for Sims 2 *not the Seasons one*
Post by: SiuPang on 2008 October 18, 06:51:50
The Gourd of Oversized Dreams is a downloadable item for Castaway Stories available at the official site. Pic can be found here: http://sims.yahoo.com/downloads/castawaystories, the middle one.

Please unzip the file to the downloads folder. Found under sculptures of decorative and it costs $160. And to be frank, I haven't tested it so far. I just cloned it using Sim PE and edited its GUID. Not sure if anyone has posted this before.

Please help test the file for me. If it works fine or if it doesn't, let me know. Thx ;)


PS. Some issue found. To be fixed soon. Check back in an hour.


UPDATED! Thanks Havelock for pointing out the problem. I have now extracted the textures from CS, please redownload! The file should now work fine. Shown below is the comparison between the CS version (on the left) and the Seasons version (on the right) of the objects.

*in case you need to regenerate the thumbnail of the object, please use cheat "boolprop testingcheatsenabled true" and Ctrl+right click the thumbnail.

I'm pretty sure this object is already in the standard game without downloading anything.

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.

This  Object came with Seasons. The download is a unlock package you need CS to see something because the mesh textures and other stuff is in the Gamefiles. If you have Seasons you could use the attached CS_Sculpture_WishingPot_stone Recolor i have made for my game.

Here is a pic of the Seasons Wishingpot.

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.  :D
