Havelock - Thanks for the fix; I worked on this yesterday night but I couldn't manage to finish it (among the various possibilities, I even though of creating a brand new object as repository: a small connection for the outer corners...). Maybe I can at least find a solution to make the placement of the diagonal pieces easier.
XTS - Keeping the thread clean without changing the URL it's my job
In any case, the alias "http://cep.modthesims2.com" should always work, even if I'd have to change the actual URL (which will never happen, anyway).
Rhondacathey - The new installation automatically uninstall the previous versions.
Knighguy - Almost all the AL objects are still missing, and are on my to-do list.At the moment (I'm at work) I don't remember if the food stands can support recolours or not (I'm positive anyway: they shouldn' be different from the BV ones).
EDIT: yes, the food stand will be fully recolourable

*raises hand* Question! With the latest version of CEP, are ice rinks and roller rinks now recolorable? I seem to reall reading a thread a few months ago where you mentioned that.

All the 4 rinks (ice and roller, small and large) have been made recolourable when Seasons came out (CEP6, if I remember well). I hope that they still are recolorable
Try recolouring them, and if there are problems, let me know.

Hmm, it seems that I'm only able to recolor the railings of the ice/roller rinks. I wanted to see if I could make up some scuffed up surfaces.

Starfish of Terror - Then, your first question was lacking an important element 
You already knew that the rinks were recolourable, though not fully.
Currently, the base of the rinks are not recolourable: since the game provided two separate "floors" (ice and wood), I thought there was no need to make them recolourable. I'll try making them recolourable in the next CEP update, but I have to check what happens to the recoloured surfaces when the sims skate on them: I remember that they leave a sort of trace on the floor, while moving...

Thank you so much, Numenor! CEP is great and I can't thank you enough for all the effort you put into this.
I'm wondering if it's just with me, but my Very Mysterious Shelving disappeared after I installed this latest version of CEP. It was back again after I uninstalled it
Anyone else with this problem?

Thanks for the update Numenor! I'm wondering if when you do the next update if you could make a second recolorable subset for the FT cribs/changing table (make the wood one subset & the fabric another?) and do the same thing for the couch that came with IKEA with the little heart on it. It makes no sense that the couch with the pillow on it lets you recolor the couch & the pillow, but the heart one doesn't. If you've got too much on your plate, don't worry about it, I just thought it'd be cool. I'd do it myself, but am clueless in this area. Thanks again for all your hard work!

Starfish of Terror - lol! Again, I forgot what I've written in my posts 
This summer has been crazy for me... -
However, I confirm my promise: if it's technically possible, I will make the floors recolourable
Ang41187 - I'm sorry, but Maxis created the mesh in one piece; in order to make the two parts recolourable separately, I should modify the mesh (which I always avoid, unless strictly needed).

Club Counter and Island
I realized that the Club Kitchen Counters and Club Island suffer from similar problem - this time, the front trim of countertop.
You cannot freely mix and match without losing the seamless look like the left one.
Can it be fixed in a similar way as commercial counter by CEP-Extra?

Numenor, I have found a little glitch to do with the _EnableColorOptionsGMND.package file. If this file is present in my Downloads folder then the Apartment Life stone building deco items take on a strange colouration. This was tested with no other custom content whatsoever; it makes no difference if the CEP extras are installed. This affects all of the 'Triumvirate' decor. |
@Havelock: Thanks for unlocking the Diagonal Cornice. I see that the diagonal piece has been properly textured.
One question: Is "Diagonal Molded Belt" hidden somewhere? I'd love to have a matching piece for bottom molding.
How stupid of EAxis to omit Diagonal pieces.
If a room has even one diagonal wall, the whole set becomes effectively useless. I'd rather not use molding altogether than leave one spot uncovered. They really should have taken a page from this set.

Lord Darcy - (About the Club counters trim): yes, I will update the Extra to include this fix. I wonder how no one complained about that glitch so far: those trims with a different colour are horrible!
SimSample - That's my fault; the bugfix is ready: I'm only finishing to activate the automatic straight/diagonal selection, and waiting for the last diagonal from Havelock.
Havelock - If you are already extracting that diagonal, there's no need to duplicate our work: I'll wait for you to post here the package, and I'll include it in the Extra. Thanks for the continuous help
