i just love you... the things you create just blow my mind. i could never have went into the game files and figured out how to create something that alters the game (without completly destroying it). as long as i back up all original files i am always more than willing to test stuff out, and play around with the game files. Thanks!! I Love to mess with this stuff, and u always make it so easy to do. /HUGS

Bah, nevermind. I forgot that my sims data is in two places: one through mydocuments and the other through program files. (It keeps my lil sis from accessing some of my more "questionable" custom content. As she has her own log-in and thus, her own seperate mydocuments folder, so she can't use custom content in her game.)

The Ultimate God Of Sims 2 Custom Content
Numenor, you appear to be, from all the amazing and wonderful custom, moded and clever things you have created for the sims 2, THE ULTIMATE GOD OF SIMS 2 CUSTOM CONTENT . If they haven't yet, I think Maxis should offer you a job designing their next game or expansion pack. So many lovely and beutiful things to help us make prettier and custom sims worlds.

You are a huge star.

I'm quite sure you are looking in the wrong folder, in the "[MyDocuments]\Ea Games" folder. You should look in the game location, in the Programs.

Question!!!
if this file overwrite the one from maxis It means that you now can use as many wall as you want if you are building a "castle"?
Because I try to make a huge building and I couldn't use any more walls from maxis game. By the way I have all expansions!!!

This file DOES overwrite the Maxis one, but contains the same data as the original, plus some additional data.
So, you should have no problems in using the original Maxis wall, after having installed this mod.
What about the Maxis foundations? Can you use them correctly? I ask because the foundations are defined into the Maxis original file, and replicated into the modded file, just like the normal wall.

Yes, I can use them correctly. But When I use the Maxis walls in some point when I was making the building I can't drag any more walls and If I delete one, I can build only one in another place.

This reminds me an email I recieved some times ago: a user claimed that perhaps there was a sort of limit in the number of wall sections within the sam lot; he was creating a huge building, and soon he "ran out" of walls: just like you, he could not build walls any more (he could only delete walls from a point and build the same amount of walls in another point).
That user didn't use this mod, though: therefore I think that - if really there is a limit in the allowed wall sections - it is not related to this mod.

So, the question is: is there a limit? And if so, is it related to the capabilities of the PC/Video card? I really don't know. Any report about this subject is welcome.

I'm sure i have heard of alimit being mentioned somewhere but with a bit of research all i found was the following

this is from The Sims 2 Nightlife CD Patch page
******
Capped the amount of half walls allowed on a single lot in order to prevent graphical corruption that would occur when this limit was broken
link:

********
also i found this thred:

I use this mod and I could finish my building with the unleveled walls that are in the second icon. They work as the standard walls in the top floors.

Thank You for this Mod Numenor.


I already have the patches install and that doesn't do anything to change the problem.

I don't think that is the PC/Video Card, because this Mod solve my problem for now.

Is like having 4 set of walls only diferents but works for me.

Thanks again!!!

Megas, you are wise. Modifying the game files is definitely more dangerous than just putting a hack in the downloads folder, and should be done only by people that have some kind of experience in modding the game.
