Love Ikea, love this - thank you so much.
One small problem I have run into...the book case isn't showing up anywhere. Is it hidden in some weird spot? I've been searching for it, as I covet more slots...but no luck.
Everything else seems to be fine.
Thanks for any help!!
- oh, and I recently downloaded the newest version of CEP

Thank you SO much! You're amazing! It constantly bugged me that people paid money (...cough) for a stuff pack that EA never even bothered to complete!

Hmm, just thought I'd let you know that the bins in the Expedit bookcase are showing up as bright blue squares :L
Me? Sarcastic? Never.

I can't find the book case in my game, but everything else is working great.
Any idea what might be going on?
Thanks for the great download!

Thanks HL!
Unfortunately the new Expedit book case did not show up, either. I even tried a new AnyGameStarter with just Ikea and Seasons...still didn't show up.
I don't have FT, and I wonder if that might be the problem - has anyone had success with the pre-FT file?
Oh well, I will eventually get FT, so I can use it then! Thanks again.

I have an issue with the ektorp loveseat - it's completely invisible with the sofarepository fix. I have the latest CEP. When I load the game without it, they show up as they should. I'll try to load it again, maybe it works now, but any idea why it happens? I've tried both the version that goes in program files and this one.

Edit: Nvm! I managed to get it working by moving the file to the zCEP-Extra folder.

So be it. Move. ~Jason Bourne

I'm having an issue with the EXPEDIT bookshelf. I have Free Time and I'm using the FT .package file in my Downloads folder, but I can't get it to appear in-game -- not under Bookshelves, or anything else. The desk (two-tile) shows up like a charm, though.

Should I try the UNI + OFB file instead?

I had the same problem as a few people before me, the Expedit Bookcase wouldn't show up in my game. Then I tried the file uploaded here: https://sims2artists.com/index.php?topic=861.0 and that one showed up in my game. I thought I would post this here in case it helps anybody else.

I can confirm that the version of the EXPEDIT bookcase that @Corax posted here works perfectly fine. I compared it with the other, broken file on MTS, and realised why this happened.

One of the things you can set in the Object Data resource is the EP Flags 1 and 2. If you have the showCatalogEPFlags cheat on, this shows you what EP or SP this object came with in the catalogue. The bookcase over at Sims2Artists has EP Flags 2 set to 1, which makes it appear as "Apartment Life", but the bookcase here at MTS has neither EP Flags 1 nor EP Flags 2 set, which makes it... not appear at all. Base game would be EP Flags 1 set to 1, for the curious.

So if you don't want to re-download from the other website, you can also open SimPE, navigate to the OBJD file and change EP Flags 2 to 1 to make the bookcase work...
