It's the EAxis way of helping you to remodel all your gardens. Why aren't you properly appreciative of their efforts, you ungrateful turd?

Did you do the obvious and delete groups.cache and all the other related files?

Go to the thread with the edited objects, and the link at the bottom has ALL the objects shown in that thread. Or at least it should, if I didn't screw up. Originally I posted two separate links, but then I added more objects and decided to just have one file instead of a million. Download everything and then pick out what you want.

More is coming.

It's funny how the henge is so popular but no one seems to want to new shipwrecks and sand peninsulas. Those got only like 3 or 4 downloads.... No one wants a ship graveyard in their neighborhood?

Did I mention that moar awesome henge is certified free of radioactive green shit?


Lot view and 'hood view.


I mod all the nhood stuff to go anywhere. Why put up with silly limits? Especially since the game screams about "not on roads! not in lots! not in water!" when you aren't anywhere near them!

Well, if you have one in your game, it had to have come from somewhere.

I'll look through the catalog tonight. I didn't really look last night because I knew what I wanted to edit and just went for it in SimPE.

I think you may be thinking of Numenor's custom objects. I can't get into modthesims2 from this computer because it's blocked, but Google says the link is http://hideki.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?p=816988

Eh, what henge that isn't in ruins? Didn't know one existed. Will look when I get home. If it came with Mansions, I don't have that yet.

I had no idea that the henge attracted UFOs, so I don't know if my pieces do.

If anyone needs MOAR henge and can think of other things to do to it, let me know. I ran out of ideas last night. Too bad the ideas have started to come while I'm at work. When I get home I'm going to try to build a freakin' TOWER using those pieces. 

I never used this object because it sucks. It sucks because... well, just look at this green shit around it!



So I got rid of the green shit. It's exactly the same object, only without the green shit.

And then I got carried away a little bit.

I made a total of 10 new objects.

You can make so much henge now! Soooooooooo much henge! Your head will explode from all the henge you can make! Just look at all this henge!







To appreciate just how much henge you're getting, you have to look at all 10 of them together.



That's a lot of henge!

LINK UPDATED BY REQUEST

Updated.

Translation: You downloaded unawesome crap. Get rid of it. If no unawesome crap is present, then your awesome crap needs to be updated.

Yes, you can have close to zero townies. However, you will still be plagued by sims who act similar to townies but are actually NPCs with a (supposed) purpose. These include garden club members in Seasons, hobby club members in Free Time, and roomies in Apartment Life. Nothing can be done about these. Still, it's better than having a billion useless townies infesting your 'hood.

No, nothing blows up if you don't allow the game to create more townies. In fact it is good to limit the number of useless sims. The hacks you are using will not prevent the game from creating new sims that it actually NEEDS in order to function.

 

Someone has been living under a rock!

Read! Learn! Recoil in horror!

I was decorating a new neighborhood when I realized that some variations of the nhood objects would make it MOAR better.

I edited the rock and sand peninsula so that there are two new flavors. One is without the plants and one is without the sand. I also modded them so that they go into lots and so on (like the hack I made earlier), so that you have even more options for placement.

Here are the three objects for comparison. EAxis is on the left, the two new ones by me are on the right.



I also made this modified shipwreck. All I did was delete the rock. The shipwreck is for water ONLY. It will float in the air when placed on land or in shallow water. See pictures. I showed it in two different depths. The EAxis original is on the left for comparison. It does look kind of dumb with the broken ship floating on water, but the idea is that you add your own rocks to it. Examples shown.




Compatibility: all files require BV.

Also, can anyone help me with something? I want to mirror-flip the peninsula, but the texture no longer gets applied correctly to the flipped object. Isn't there a quick way to mirror-flip objects? I seem to recall that it shouldn't require remapping, but I can't find a tutorial.
Edit: OMG. Good grief, I feel like the biggest moron now. I'll leave this question up just so everyone can point and laugh.

Here are two more shipwrecks. The only difference between them is that one has sails and one does not. Variety is the spice of life. These shipwrecks sit on the ground and are appropriate for the beach or for shallow water. Images show the ships on the ground and in water. I personally think they look awesome.




More shipwrecks.





More peninsulas. One of these is Bloom's. Bloom made it a default replacement, which I didn't want because I like the original one just fine. I just made it into a non-replacement. Credit to Bloom.




Here is a rock that used to be a rock and sand peninsula. And here are the palm trees that came with it, too. Two separate objects now.



Here's a Spanish windmill without the base. I think the windmills came with OFB, but I'm not sure. Check your game. Got windmills? Okay, then download. No windmills, don't download.



Here is a broken Dutch windmill. It kind of sucks, really.



Here are the ancient ruins. Original is on the left. One has no tree and one is just the top. I have no idea which EP these are from. Check your game.



Download everything here. If you downloaded the original objects I posted, they are included in this file, too. Just let it override the old ones.

Probably impossible to find them now, since I dumped them back into the general Downloads.

The only way I know to fix it is to redo the recolor (create a new recolor and use the texture from the old one), but this is such a pain to do when you have a lot of them. I did about ten before I was bored to tears. Oh well.

This will be awesome, Inge. I could use some different doors in my themed neighborhoods. So you're going to do what I saw you post on MTS2, and have the doors themselves have the option to change the model?

Seasons made it so some plants change with the coming of fall and winter. Old recolors of those plants will work normally during summer and spring, but flash bright blue when fall and winter come, due to missing texture references.

Fact: No one could be satisfied with normal, intended behavior, since it is made of fail. Fail has been described by others, above.

Fact: OP has already been advised about tight pants. It is not necessary to advise about tight pants again. If OP has a brain, OP will follow advice and loosen tight pants.

Fact: Advice offers long term solution, post pants-loosening, that OP may not be aware of. Solution bypasses fail. It is made of win.

Fact: You are stupid.

    

Have you been playing this game long?

Use TwoJeffs' crystal ball as an alternative to the idiotic matchmaker.

I just have the following folders:

ZHacks
ZZDefaultReplacements
ZZZSkinAndEyes

And have never had any problems. Every other folder is just named for what's in it, like Objects, Clothing, Maxis Match, Hair, Makeup, etc.

I separate skintones and eyes for a reason that I can't exactly recall, but it also has to do with loading order. I started doing it so long ago that I can't remember why exactly it's that way or what it's supposed to solve. Oh well.

Of course you also have to watch out for hacks that need to be loaded after other hacks, so the hacks folder itself has to be organized, too.

The game loads stuff alphabetically. If you want something to be loaded last, rename the file it so it's at the end of the alphabet. Folders count too, so if you use folders you have to think about which folder is going to be loaded first, and then change names accordingly.

I was looking at some of the stuff in my junk folder, and saw some old plant recolors that I used to really like, but which were broken by Seasons.

Is there an easy way to fix them?

Well, actually I don't know that the item in particular is stolen. Pandora is just known for stealing shamelessly. You never know what's safe and what is hellknowswherefrom.
