Wow Bob! You always create the most awesome things! We really appreciate the hard effort that you put into your creations. I have so many shop ideas that this ticker would look great in. Thanks. Keep up the good work. ;-)

Excellent. Thank you for sharing your work. I appreciate that you are willing to share your wonderfull objects for nothing, most modders try to charge. Thank you so much for giving TheSims new items, it makes the game just that much more fun.

don't be frightened by the texture file...it's not actually as complicated as it first looks....

Basically the texture is 512 pixels x 512 pixels, divided into 'cells'.
Each 'cell' is 256 pixels wide x 32 pixels high. ...arranged like this.....

1 2
3 4
5 6
7 8.
...etc
29 30
31 32

First you need to create an animated .gif file 128 pixels x 32 pixels with 32 frames (that's the animations that you can see in my first post).

You then take each frame from that animation and lay them on a new texture that is 512 pixels x 512 pixels ...making sure that the line up perfectly... as in the sequence shown above.

So you see.... it's not complicated....but it IS very time consuming....

I hope this helps.... good luck!
