violin recolor
Hi: I just made three nice recolors of the free time violin and when I go to the game and choose that violin, I don't see the recolors. I chose the maxis violin and using design tool all three colors are showing up but not in the catologe. does anybody have an idea?

Did you forget to move your recolor package into your downloads folder? I haven't done recolors in ages, sorry, I wouldn't know otherwise.

I wonder if it's an item like the modular stairs that can inherently only be recolored with the design tool, and if so, if it is because it is made of different parts?

telefen - this is something I'm not all that familiar with. I do know that other creators have had, for example, windows that the recolors didn't work properly for. From what I recall the problem with those was the diagonal windows not being properly linked to the straight version.
Since you've done recolors of a Maxis object that doesn't have any slaves, I'm not sure if there's a problem with everything being linked properly or not. It may help if you post your recolors so someone can take a look at them. (Not sure if I'd be able to or not. Been having intermittent problems with my internet connection thanks to a faulty ethernet cable, so actually doing anything on the net - downloading, posting, everything - can be a pain in the rear.)

solution
I think I found the answer to this problem here At this post Atavera mentions that the guitar recolor are not availble in the catologe like other items and so on just like the violin recolors I made and it must be something similar as they are both musical instruments.

If you delete cigen.package, I believe, from your save file folder (the one under my documents) I believe it regenerates the thumbnails (deleting anything from your savefile folder should be safe, unless it's in the neighborhoods folder). I'll try out a recolor (probably LACK recolors xD) of the violin and see if I come across any problems (and if it is impossible).
