Hey everyone...
Hopefully somewhere out there is someone who can help me figure out what I am doing wrong?
I found a mesh here at MTS2 of a sheet of paper (literally) that looks like homework, with an F-Grade. I thought it would be awesome for a movie prop, and I just wanted to make it into a ransom note instead. The creator (Mutants_R_Us) said to feel free to recolour, clone, etc. So it is perfect for me. I downloaded it, checked it out in my game, then opened SimPE to do my work.
So, reading Numenor's tutorials on how to create recolours, I tried, I edited the TXTR, first with Gimp, then with Photoshop and was happier. I imported and it replaced the old picture. I pressed Commit, and saved, started up my game, yet the had no recolours!
So i tried again, following the tutorial to the T! I also looked around for other tutorials, and they are all practically the same, so I knew I wasn't missing a step or anything.
Then, I thought maybe I could just clone it, make the ransom note as a new object, and some recolours, like for love letter, apology letter, typed letter, handwritten letter... Etc. So I have this great project now...
So I cloned the original, F Paper, replaced the photo... Loaded game, and it doesn't even show up in the Buy catalog. Funny, though, because at start-up you know that Enable/Disable CC screen, where it lists hacks if you have any in your game (I only have decorgal hacks), my new object was named there: Letters of Every Kind (what I named the object)
So... like I said, I followed all directions, but can't seem to figure out why it's not working?!
Any help would be tremendously appreciated!
