ferrarrifanatic - Lol! this is the most frequently asked question ever
The usual check-list (some of these suggestions are obvious, but they are not intended to you in particular; but for all the users):
- be sure you have the custom content turned on (do you see other custom content in your game?)
- be sure you have extracted the .package files from the RAR/ZIP archives
- be sure you have actually put the .package into your downloads
- be sure you have the EP(s) that may be needed for the object to work.


Simsbaby - I agree with pepperdawg (see his/her post above): they seem a preview for the upcoming Add-on Pack that will be released in April; those objects are not in the game, anyway (OK, Maxis may have left "hidden" som objects, but not that many! Lol! )

Wow! This otta go good with the Mission or European collection! :wave:

Loser! Faker! Augh!

Loser! Faker! Augh! R U A Girl Scout!?!?!

Peaceonearth, I'm not a girl scout and you shouldn't post (or worse, double-post) such inconsistent comments. This is a serious forum, be careful.

silly Maxis, hiding things.

But I have open it with SimPE and I can sey that objects in 3d :insane:

how can that.

Alexie

Tanja, if you have opened a game package with SimPE and seen those objects in 3D, then please tell me which package you have opened, and I promise that all those hidden objects will be made ready for download in a flash! :D

Numenor, thank you for finding these topiary's..cool !!

Wow; that's all I can say. You're Maxis Lost and Found's are simply the best.

Ahh! I want that cow in the window! Someone said it was a "moo moo award"? How do you get that?

Hernandee: the MooMoo Award is... an award There is a restricted number of people that take note of the creations of the various users, and if they are "the cream of the crops" in a particular fiels of knowledge, they assign the Award to him.

So, the only way to get it is to work hard and publish high quality creations
Good luck!

That missing tree and the toparies ARE in Family Fun!! Why did maxis leave the tree out though so they could have it in FF instead!? Hmm.. And I always knew that OFB had FF objects in it.. This does not surprise me.

And Numenor? Could you do me a favour? It's weird but could you find the Water Tower (Neighborhood Decoation one) for OFB as that has that flying pig and I'm wondering if Maxis made a whole new object package for it...

RanmNameHere, it's not the first time that Maxis includes in the Add-on packs objects already released, or "known", anyway

As for the flying pig, where is it? when I place the water tower, a fliying pig should appear?

What a great FIND. Thank you much

the flying pig just shows up...i think you have to have a blimp in place on the neighborhood screen . i have seen it but am not sure when it appeared. possibly it is when a new biz has opened

Then, the flying pig must be an "effect" and not a normal neighborhood object...
Ergo, it can't be converted for normal lot view.

Well apparently it's attached to the Water Tower Object and you must have it in the nhood to see the pig. I want to know if this is true...

That tree, for which you are searching, looks like a larger hibiscus shrub with a trunk - the flowers they used do anyway.

Thank you for taking the time to find these uploads.

Numenor,
You are the BEST!! :baloons:
Thank you! :wave:

thanks you are the greatest

you rock. thanks for finding these.

:0) I think Maxis makes these 'hidden' items just so our illustrious ,genius modders can 'free' them and make them available to us who don't know how to mod. :0)

Hi Numenor,

I have the same problem - No Pic. I came back here to double-check and make sure they were not FFS like the other trees you found. I have OFB and I know the checklist - but still no topiaries.

I am going to redownload them and try again. I'll let you know.

Thank you,
HD

Edit: OK, they are there now. Please see my pics for proof.

HeartDeco, have you found out why they were not visible in the catalog?
