Oh no, it's not an issue. Ford cars, Fiat and hot rod are bundled in a single package, I named the file "CarOwnableFordNFiat.package" (contains 7 cars), Hawker is sold separately (not sure why but I thought it was a good idea).

Tamha,
I'd checked and I'm afraid not. Numenor's version uses different subset names in his version, I'll fix this issue in the next update (I almost finished with some other objects).

Timoram,
Try again and let me know if the problem continues, sometimes Mediafire shows up this error.

mini-CEP (Updated 2008/12/28)
This little package makes these decostumized and updated stuff recolorable. It is divided into two parts; GMND and MMAT, GMND must go to your downloads folder, MMAT must go along with the objects to your latest EP Bins folder.

That one (colored glass) along with the clam, starfish, conch, captain's log, gold doubblon, and treasure chest can be found by beach combing (BV) or visiting pirate ship. Don't bother to continue extracting CS items, right now I'm working on a bundle that will contain them, it will hopefully be ready before xmas (one or two more weeks, some items are really borked).

Lord Darcy, will you mind adding slots to the new Asian Fusion Store items? The coffee and end tables need them, also the tv. Get them here.

Here is the new collection file Asian Fusion along with the updated The Sims 2 Store.

Move to:
"Documents > EA Games > The Sims 2 > Collections".

Simsbaby, this rug is missing:

I already made the collection file for these new items, as soon as the rug gets posted I'll post the Asian Fusion collection (and the updated Store collection). Also I fixed Havelock's fixed pant (Potted Bamboo Glory), it has retrieved "PlantGlobals" (I hate when EA borks plants like this, plants are plants! not paintings, not sculptures, not chess boards!).

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?4m2xyxomzm3

"Giant Bonsai Tree" has retrieved "PlantGlobals". I will update the other plant as soon as Cerridwen posts a functioning version.

I also made a fix to this issue for two Maxis-made plants.

Description:
Two Maxis-made plants have retrieved "Plant Globals", both used to have "Sculpture Globals".

Installation:
Unzip, move to:

Here it is Modern Asian Floor TV updated to AL/FT.

Re-updated no wonky animations when repaired/tinkered.

Cerridwen, the fountain IS borked, SimPe cannot open and I cannot find it anywhere. The potted bamboo has a proble just as mentioned by jacqpinks. Could you redownload these please? Move your Sims Store folder or delete and fire the EA Downloader, it will re-download all of the items.

I noticed the potted bamboo and the other two-tiled plant have PainitngGlobals instead of PlantGlobals, will update in a sec. Along with the TV (AL update).

I forgot to post.

You need CS Core Funcs (Salvaged Stories Crap) in order for the reward to work.

I'm not sure about that, this seems to be a new item. If only EA provided more pics instead of this:

  I know it made sense in pre-Seasons era, and I had no complains about it. However a couple of months ago I realized, that since why have a "Gardening Badge", the hydroponic garden needed a change. Also "Gardening Badge" builds faster if your Sim has a higher Charisma skill but not Creativity.


I'd love that!


That's why you need FT or later...

The hydropnics garden (slacker career reward) has always annoyed me because it builds "Creativity" skill; and what the heck creatvity has to do with gardening, or hydroponics?

I modified its behaviour to build "Gardening Badge" instead of "Creativity". This mod also modifies all shrubs, weeds and flowers to build "Gardening Badge" when trimmed, watered or pulled. As M&G added new interactions to flowers I'm not sure if this is compatible with it, as soon as I get it I'll update. M&G compatible.

Description:
Slacker career reward (hydroponics garden), shrubs, flowers and weeds earn "Gardening Badge" when trimmed, tended, planted, harvested, watered or pulled.

Installation:
Unzip, move to:
"Documents > EA Games > The Sims 2 > Downloads".

Required EPs:
- The Sims 2 Seasons
- The Sims 2 Free Time or later

Changelog:
v1.0: Initial release. (2008/11/24)

Known bugs/issues:
When Sims earn a badge (Gold, Bronze or Silver) dialog message won't display as it should. I don't know if I will ever find a solution, but who reads these messages?

They don't.

Here they are:


The moroccan bench is missing. No one appears to have, will decostumize as soon as I get it.

Update:
Sorry about necromancy, I udpated this to include HHS items, craftables, collecibles, hobby plaques, and mounted fish. It also fixes the holiday reindeer's interaction "Pet" to build "Nature Enthusiasm", and interaction "Use" is now available to pets too.

Re-updated the moroccan planter, forgot to include something really important. Redownload please.

Lord Darcy, I decostumized two of the Garden & Mansion bonuses, download here.

I just decostumized these two items. Downloads attached.

Fixes:
- Removed duplicate files (such as gnome textures).
- Planter is treated as a plant not a sculpture (PlantGlobals).
- Each item has its own Group Number.
- Gnome Sculpture builds Nature Enthusiasm.
- Compressed with The Compressorizer!

See my next post for both downloads.

The new Spore L&P is out, is it worth to download?

Also there's a third patch for Spore, this new patch seem to add 24 new exoskeleton limbs, take a look:
