THANKS THIS IS GREAT

I have tested some earrings and they do display as the pair, taking only one ear slot (for the moment I put everything custom on the left ear), therefore being stackable with a right ear slot earring.
I have some sticking problem with maxis jewelery before messing with custom accessories. The first time I trashed completly the sim I was making in CAS, thinking something bad happened (I managed to put 2 watches on him, on the same arm). But further playing in CAS (with maxis jewelery, not custom ones) seems to indicate it is a problem of CAS display not refreshing correctly (doing something else like changing the sim's clothes, then going back to the jewelery tab seems to fix it).

Hmm... Well, clearly I have failed myself. You must not. Tongue I'll have to download some more accessories tomorrow and then play around with them. Of course, if I just streamline it in the WW, that'll make things much easier anyhow.

Shoot, I'm so sorry, jfade, I completely missed your edit. Here's a really quick-and-dirty conversion of the horn-rimmed glasses that I spit out of BodyShop.

pioupiou, thanks for the info. I had managed to get nearly every piece of jewelry on a sim and had to trash her before I went crazy. Good to know it's the game's fault.

*Headdesk*

Thanks, I found out the original problem I was having... Some old, borked versions of the files from earlier experiments were still sitting in another folder and loading before the fixed versions. Doh. Works now. Smiley

THANKS THIS IS GREAT

This is an excellent tutorial, except for one thing; I can't get the damn thing to work for me.  Cry  Things seem to be going great until I get to step two. When I try to change the Group and the Instance values, SimPe throws an error. As soon as I delete the orginal number to edit it, a popup says it can't set value.

First, I'm not an expert at playing around in Simpe, though I have binned hundreds of hair files, changed clothing categories, etc. So maybe I'm failing just because I suck...lol.  I do know I've given myself a headache trying to figure out what the hell I could be doing wrong. Any ideas?

SimPE is annoying with throwing that error, yes. From what you said, it looks like you're highlighting the whole number and then hitting backspace, throwing the error. Just click "ok" in the error text box (or whatever the button says) and continue typing. It's more of a warning than an error, to ensure you don't put in an unsupported value. To avoid the warning completely, you can just highlight the entry and start typing (or paste the new number in), but if you're more comfortable with the first way and don't mind the warning, you can just hit "ok" and go about your business.

Hey thanks for the reply, Captain Swooptie. Well actually I have been just ignoring the error and continuing, but when it's all done and I go to into the game to see if it worked, the item (it's a necklace) does not show up in cas. I made sure to follow each direction step by step at least five times. I guess I do suck and am doing something wrong. *sigh*

I'm going to roll my sleeves up and go back in, trying it the way you suggested. Hopefully I'll get it right if I don't give up.  Wink

Darn it, I was hoping it was something simple!

If you keep having trouble, go ahead and upload the file you've been working on and I'll take a look at it to see if I see anything.

Problem solved!  Grin Actually it was something rather simple (and stupid). For some reason, a couple of the numbers were not staying changed. I went back in, changed them again and... it works!  I was really tired last night when I was working on it, so it was most likely something dumb I was doing. The tutorial is AWESOME.

All you awesome ppl! If you did some rebinning successfully, could a non-awesome peasant be lucky to use it too? *Begs shamelessly for downloadable rebinned custom jewellery. Cheesy

Thanks so much for the tutorial. I've re-binned some of my stuff, but I still have a long way to go. If only it wasn't so time-consuming to go through and edit all of those numbers.

Perhaps a plugin is in order....? Maybe....? Wink

I'll tell you what... I've done so much damned re-binning now that I have the numbers memorized!  Cheesy  It is definately easier for me now than it started out being. It is most definately worth every grueling minute though.

I'm working on re-binning most of aikea-guinea's stuff and I'll upload them if people want them.
I don't know how long it will take to do them all though, I'm kind of swamped in college at the moment.

The Wardrobe Wrangler is actually really close to being ready for public consumption, so if you give me a bit more time I should have that for you to use. Smiley

If there's an easier method in the works then I'll be glad to wait. Thanks for letting me know before I spent hours re-binning crap  Wink

Beta 2 is up, fixed all those freaking nasty errors with previews. Stupid thing worked fine in my environment and I couldn't for the life of me figure out why it was erroring till I moved it to a completely different situation and it started erroring. Still have no idea WHY, but it's fixed now. Smiley

I really like this tutorial, I hardly ever work with SimPe, but even I understand it! I do have a question though, is it possible to enable miscellaneous (for example) for toddlers so that you can decide when they have to wear a pacifier/soother/binkie?

Never tested it with toddlerz, but it won't hurt anything if you try. Just categorize the pacifier as a nosering or something and it should show up under misc.

I've binned them as lip rings.  They work fine.
The category will be automatically enabled when there is something in it.
