I know I'm not the only one (http://nene.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=375502) that ran into this sort of problem, but can anyone help me fix this issue? I'm making a custom LG plasma TV for the game, and so far the only problem I'm having right now is the screen not displaying anything. I tried practically everything just to make it work, but so far my tube's still broken as an effin piece of junk.

I've attached a package file of my work just in case.

Is the tv-screen grouped as it's own group, is the map of the tv-screen full size of the uvmap? I have not made a tv, but I read that they don't work if the map is made smaller than full size.

Yep, I did that already. And yes, the screen is assigned to its own group. I tried decompiling another TV mesh and recompiled it without any changes, but still it shows up a blank screen, even if the model was grouped properly.

UPDATE: Exporting my mesh as a TSR Workshop object and compiling it in there seems to do the trick, but I'm still wondering as to why on earth won't it work if I use Wes's tools.
