View Full Version : Can't Delete Blue Objects

When I go into the buying section of the game, I look through the objects and see which of them I like best.

Of course, some of the objects, man, have got numerous versions as some were downloaded. However, the weird thing is some of the objects are completely blue! Just a blue shadow!

I tried to delete them, but when I click on them, the trash can does not appear, and I know for a fact that these are download files as they have the flower shape in the right hand corner.

I'm just trying to do some spring cleaning with the game and throw out the downloaded files that don't work.

What can I do about this, please?

Blue objects means that those objects are missing files, for example recolours or meshes.

Yes, I thought as much, man.

But how do you get rid of them, please?

If you have OfB, that trashcan icon is missing, however you can have it back selecting the mod tool instead of "hand" (the mod tool is what you use to change color of objects already in game).

In that window - in which you usually choose recolors - you'll see the trashcan back (and you can finally delete those recolors as well).

Oh, I see.

So, that's what's happened.

I thought something was fishy.

Yes, I do have OFB.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I'll give it a go!

Angel F - the `mod' tool you mentioned, where do I find it, what is it and what does it do?

The mod tool is the bunch of keys in buy and buildmode. With this tool you can change the colour of an objects.
