Default Issues with recoloring cereal
Hello! Pardon me if this is not the appropriate forum for custom food, but I figured it's object-y enough if I have to use the object workshop to grab the mesh.

I've been trying to use some old tutorials to figure out how to make custom food. I'm using one made by Fireflies, which is the most recent one I could find. Perhaps it may just be the fact that I'm using an outdated tutorial, but I've run into some issues with my custom cereal.

1. When I have the cereal added into my Downloads folder, Sim interactions go berserk. Sims can only flirt (in one way, too!), entertain with a joke, or shoo other Sims. So, obviously, something is up with that. I have no clue what's going on, and I'd preferably like my cereal not to destroy entire neighborhoods, like Godzilla.

2. Sims keep resetting when I have the cereal added in my Downloads folder! It's quite frustrating, actually. I'm not sure if my Sims could even go from start to finish with preparing the cereal, because everybody kept resetting.

Could I have some guidance on this? I'd greatly appreciate any help.

@XxCTxX It's under "Unknown," if that's any help.

Are you looking in alphabetical order? It's not going to jump at you, because it will be between a lot of other things starting with "Ce..."

Good luck.

Yeah ive done that too, also searching it.

Basically none of my objects from expansion packs would show up in simPe/ wizard, besides from the Christmas and Halloween stuff.

I had to go into my SimPE and make sure all extensions were correct for the right EPs.

Once I did that majority of the objects from all EPs showed up, besides the bloody cereal!!!

I have a feeling its because I am using the Sims 2 Ultimate Collection that I downloaded off origin rather than using my discs.

I think I need a spare computer for just the disc base game for making CC! One computer for making CC and one for playing it,

Hm... that's strange. I'm using the UC, too, and I see the base game items. I have no idea how to help, sorry!

I figured it out! Dowload the tutorial from AriesFlare: http://modthesims.info/m/7393275

Follow their tutorial from scratch.

Oh, goodie! I'm so happy you figured it out - maybe now we can succeed in our custom food endeavors.

I'll have to give it a whirl tomorrow morning; it's rather dark here and I'm probably more prone to screw some important step up if I'm tired. Plus, I have to go dig around Google for info on installing the Nvidia tools in Photoshop CC. Leave that for tomorrow, I say!

Thank you for the knowledge, CT!

@XxCTxX

May I ask what settings you chose when grabbing the cereal out of the Object Workshop? I have a feeling I'm not choosing the right settings, because the Geometric Data Container tab is not showing up. I have no GMDCs!

Thanks.

I have no GMCDs either.

And the same ones in fireflies'a tutorial. I can't remember the exact ones (on my mobile).

The ones in fireflies downloadable tutorial. The photo is the one when object workshop is open and it's giving you the setting options. Blue window tabbed imagine.

Huh.. Okay. Guess I got confused. Thanks.

I'm going to try my hand at it again now; will be back with an update sometime today!

EDIT: Wow. That's a lot easier than I thought!


The texture I made isn't the best, so I'm not sure if I'd like to upload it, but hey! Progress! I'm so happy right now!
