Very nice and simple tutorial. Creating your own walls and floors is really satisfying. Thankyou.

Default Floor issue in game

I've been making some walls and floors lately and everything seemed fine, they look great in Homecrafter and all but when I was going to use the floors in the game they were black, both in the catalog and when I use them on the ground. Pitch black. And just the floors, the walls looks the same as in Homecrafter. I've done floors before this and they look just fine but the new ones are suddenly turning black in the game.

I read through this tutorial and thread in hope of finding an answer and I've searched elsewhere but can't find anything that could fix this so I would really appreciate it if someone could help me.

EDIT:
Never mind, I just deleted the floors, uninstalled Homecrafter, installed it again and re-made the floors. Clever me..

BTW you can get photoshop elements which is nearly as good as the full CS versions for hardly anything off amazon...

In case it helps

Try to do what meriel did: Start again from scratch. You might not need to uninstall and reinstall Homecrafter, but delete your floor and make a new one from the beginning.

There aren't any images... Does someone have a link to download them? I would've been thick with the pictures, and without them I'm doomed.

Is it just me or are the images in this tutorial refusing to load? It's very frustrating and is making this more difficult than it has to be.

Do you use a Screenshot/ Printscreen program?
If not, you could try e.g. Gadwin, or install any other free Printscreen program.

Now I have a question of my own.
I know that MAC users need a different wall size for their games (256x512).
What about floors? I made a floor of 512x512 and chose 2x2 tiled. Which size does MAC require in this case?

It is my understanding that Mac user's floors, walls & groundcovers will work if you use the template size. For floors this is 256x256.

Retired from the Sims world. Please continue to enjoy my creations. Thank you to everyone who helped -- by either giving me the tools and knowledge to create or by encouraging me & downloading my creations. The Sims community is the BEST!

Thank you very much for your quick response.
So, for Macintosh it can only be 256x256?
The effect would be gone then, because by using a 512x512 texture file on 2x2 tiling will show an enlarged texture in game.
When I use a 256x256 texture file and choose 2x2 tiling, the texture will become rather blurry.
No way to solve it?

Thank you, HugeLunatic!
I'm a Windows XP user, creating walls and floors for uploading.
Mac users told me about problems with my walls, which I did 256x768, and floors of 512x512 size, so I was wondering about the floors.
Thanks again for info.

I can't see the tutorial pictures either. I can probably muddle through the rest of it, but the first one that shows you the sizes you need for your tiles... Seems kinda important. I'm using Paint.NET. Help?

#350 Old 21st Feb 2011 at 5:09 PM
I downloaded Paint.NET, but it wouldn't allow me to open more than one copy of itself at a time. Is there a specific version I am supposed to use for this? Please PM with help...
