Program Questions

[Hghingon203]

1). Is there a Sims 2 program that allows you to acually VIEW the objects and DELETE anything you do not want?

2). Is there a Sims 2 program that allows you to CHANGE the price, discription, etc. of an object?, I know that there is a Sims 1 program that allows price changing of the objects, But, I need a program for The Sims 2, that allows me to at least change the price of the objects, Because, now that I have the "motherlode" cheat for more money, I would like to change the price, to higher prices. ( <<<<I know that might seem a little stupid to some of you, But, I think it would be cool.)

If anyone can please help me, That would be great!!

Thank You,

All of those only gives you a preview of the/one of the texture(s).
If you want to see what the file actually looks like in game, you have to go into the game (or bodyshop).

SimPe can show a 3d preview.

How can you do that? I have tryed, and I can't seem to find out how. And Is there a way to change object prices?, I tryed SimPE, No luck.

To preview, open the package and locate the Material Override(s) (MMAT(s)) and open them. Then click preview. If one doesn't work, try another mmat.

Changing prices is a bit more complicated.

If its a custom object you downloaded or a replacement of a Maxis object, not recolor, open it and locate the Object Data (OBJD) and open that file. Click the RAW Data tab. Under the Catalog Money section, the price, sale price and depreciation data is listed. Edit to your hearts content. DON'T EDIT ANYTHING ELSE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. If it's a Maxis replacement and doesn't have an OBJD file, see below.

If its a Maxis object, you need to open Object Workshop and find the object in the listing. Then clone it with the Set Custom Group ID option cleared. Go through the rest of the dialogs and save the file. All of the files should have a group thats NOT 0xFFFFFFFF. If they do, you didn't clone it right. If they don't you can delete every file, except the OBJD and edit it as described above. Then just put the file in your downloads folder. It will overwrite the original file and your changes should take effect for all new ones.

It's a good idea to change from HEX-mode to Decimal mode before changing the price. It saves you a lot of math.
