i have a question for u guys, how do i take a car and recolor and add stuff to it. like if i want to make the general lee from the dukes of hazzard. i already have the car compleat but every time i try to export it to the game it wont do it. this is how i done the car.

1) took a 1974 trans am from a websiter i downloaded it from.
2) i then took the car to paint and colored it orange and put a rebel flag on top, a 01 on both sides and the word general lee above the doors next to the reble flag, just like the general lee.
3) then i finifsh it off by importing it to the SimPE package editor.
4) last but not least i delete the unwanted pics from the 11 pic of the car(if u know what i mean), then i try to export it to the file thta i started from but i it says " cannot export files to game" or somethin like that.

y does it do that. i only have the first version of the simpe, do i need the new and updated version or do i need something else.

if u know exactilly how to take a downloaded car and turn it into another car like the general lee. plz help me guys.

thanks..

Hey, I have noticed a 'clash' with another vehicle 'mod' made by Simfantastic2 http://modthesims2.com/showthread.php?p=688989top
I downloaded and installed yours previously and the vehicles weren't showing up when I viewed the neighbourhood screen, even though I had placed them on lots while in-game (primarily the pickup truck as I am fond of using it in Stangetown *grins*) As they worked during gameplay I didn't see an issue, but after finding Simfantastic2's recolours (I wanted a red truck and a fawn/white one) the game froze after I installed it and then when I managed to get it working mysteriously gameplay was choppy at best. So seeing as how the recolours were showing up in neighbourhood view I deleted yours (all 22 or so) in game and things looked to have improved. I can't tell you what else caused it but I can only assume we can't have two similar objects (even though they used different 'base objects' isn't that correct?) in game. I may be wrong like I said but just thought I'd bring it to your attention. Damn shame though, especially for the NPC vehicles (like cop car and ambulance which are useful for storytelling). Guess I was greedy; wanted all the cars plus recolours too? *shrugs again*
Thanks anyway for your galant effort. Hope it's just my comp glitch and not your mod. :D

What's the 'move_objects' cheat?
Guest
#80 Old 9th Aug 2005 at 7:15 PM
Press ctrl+c then type in move_objects on to turn the cheat on.
To turn it off, do the same except instead of on, put off.

How do you get your Sims from your games to be in your avatar folder for MTS2 when posting your replys.

The new expansion is about to come out that makes vehicles buyable. I suggest that everyone remove my cars before intalling the new expansion in case there are some conflicts. I'll test the cars with the new expansion as soon as I get it and see if I find any problems. If anyone else find problems, please let me know about them.

these work great with N/L - you can populate parking lots in community lots with them and there is no conflict with your own sim's vehicle

Nicvncnt. That's what I've done, including an attempt at a firestation. Sure wish ea would come out with something like that. Hospitals, firestations, police stations, etc that you can visit and file complaints at lol. :D

Cars still work great so far. no conflicts known.

Thanks still
