Hi, nice work.. I just wonder one thing how do i get the roof too be placet on the un-leveld wall. or how to get the uneven roofs? otherwise the walls works just fine.
Thanks // Miitra

I'm not sure you can have a perfectly fitting roof on an uneven wall, because there are no uneven roofs.
If you use the auto-roof function, the roof will be placed, but won't touch the lower parts of the uneven walls.

[COLOR=Blue]Wonderful Work. I am sooo impressed. thank you for your hard work. [/COLOR]

how safe is this the last time i messed with the game files i did not have any walls no foundations and no pool had to compleatly uninstall both games and reinstall them to get what i lost back

I'll try to explain better the installation intructions:


Peerforming step a) will result in having a file called Walls.txt on your desktop; leave it there, for the moment, and perform step b): open in turn the folders pointed out above, until you should see, in the Explorer window, the Scripts folder, containing a bunch of TXT files, among which you should see a Walls.txt file. This is the ORIGINAL walls.txt file: copy it in a safe location (any folder *outside* the game one and outside the downloads one: e.g. create a folder called "C:\Backup" and copy the ORIGINAL walls.txt in there).
Now close the backup folder and go back to the desktop (step d): copy the walls.txt file from the desktop and paste it into the "Scripts" folder, overwriting the original.

That's all: now in the Scripts folder there is the modified walls.txt, and in the backup folder there is the original walls.txt.
If you need to restore the original walls.txt, open the backup folder (e.g. C:\Backup), copy the walls.txt file from there and paste it into the Scripts folder, overwriting the modified one.

I am really glad to see that the invisible walls still work with NL. I thought that I would have to rebuild my prisons but thankfully they made it through the transition intact. Cheers and !

Is there a way of finding out what the thumbnails are available, because I want to change the command highlighted in bold below? In other words, how did you know that "0xe9261348" is a particular wall thumbnail? Many thanks.

# normal walls
wall 1
defaultPattern "blank"
wallThickness standard
mayChangeSurface true
mayAttachObjects true
mayCutAway true
requiresFlatBottom true
requiresFlatTop true
submersible false
deleteTool partition
thumbnailResource 0 0x499db772 0xe9261348
thumbnailResource 1 0x499db772 0xe9261347
catalogTextIndices 0 1

Those values refer to GroupID and Instance of the graphics contained into the ui.package, located in [gamedir]\The Sims 2\TSData\Res\UI.
I browsed all the images (there are many!) until I found a suitable graphic for each custom wall, and then I wrote down the Group and Instance.

Just the answer I was looking for. Many, many, many thanks Numenor!

FINALLY ive got numerors windows and that, but not the walls! lol, ive been looking for ages I LOVE YOU, hypatheticaly of course, id ont mean to miss lead you :D

Hello, I've used this for a while but I'd like my game a bit different now. Ive had it for like... 6 months XD so does anyone have a clean walls.txt that is not modified? :P

Just edit again the walls.txt,and delete everything from

to the end of the file.

But be warned: if in your lots there are custom walls, they will turn to black iron fences.

OMG! How did you do this? Genious!

To be able to fix the walls made with the custom walls, modify the wall.txt for the default walls to enable it to build in many ways to fix the replaced iron fences.
The following setting has tested workable, and I can convert those old lots back to normal... with some works...


# normal walls
wall 1
defaultPattern "blank"
wallThickness standard
mayChangeSurface true
mayAttachObjects true
mayCutAway true
requiresFlatBottom false
requiresFlatTop false
submersible true
deleteTool partition
thumbnailResource 0 0x499db772 0xe9261348
thumbnailResource 1 0x499db772 0xe9261347
catalogTextIndices 0 1

wouldnt work for me

Awesomely awesome, Numenor. Thanks loads! And, to be honest, those instructions were more than clear, to me at least. But maybe it's because I wear my brain on the outside of my head....... hm. :gonemad:

Question.... If I set a wall type to reqires flat bottom False and Flat top TRUE,

Will I get a wall that does indeed have a un-even bottom but a level top?

Actually, I've never tried... But I don't think so...
If you run this test, let us know the result, please.

Numenor, you are most sincerely one of the greatest modders ever. Your dedication to the art and creativity of making the game as architectually intricate as life outside of the computer, probably more so is... can't find the right word for it, but your work gives everyone's work the opportunity to be better than anything that we could have produced without your efforts. Thank you.

Прикольно!!! А главное, меня никто непоймёт!!! Nobody understand me!!! sorry to my english!!!

Nastya, I take it as a compliment... or I hope it is!

In any case, your post made me read Pollination's one, that unfortunately I have missed so far... Pollination, thank you very much for your kind words!

So for the invisible and prison only, instead of putting in the modified walls.txt, you replace the Maxis version of walls.txt with the invisible/prison.rar?

Oooohh now I get it XD
