Hey Everybody!

This is a begginer tutorial on a useful tool that comes with SimPE called "Wizards of SimPE"
Im gonna teach you how to make a recolor for an object using the Wizard and Photoshop CS2(or your photo Editing Program)

Thanks for the moderator who moved it (Thanks)

You need:
1- SimPE's Wizard - when you go to the download page i recommend the Full SimPE Download (The light may not have the Wizard)
2- PhotoShop CS2 - Or your image editing program (im not going to include so much information on using photoshop
3- NVidia DDS Utilities - For adding the texture



1- Click on Start--> All Programs--> SimPE--> Wizards of SimPE



2- (If you got the tools before and located them using SimPE then skip step 2&3) Click Options





3- and in the third box use browse to search for The nvdxt.exe in the DDS folder, when you find them... click close and Click Recolors





4- Wait till the objects loads and then click on the table icon and find this counter and click next





5- Select all the boxes then select the first image and click next, then wait





6- When it loads select the first texture and click export and export the image to you tutorial folder, do the same to the other one.





7- Minimize the wizard and open PhotoShop, open the first image





8- Use the Hue Stautration tool to change the colors, i recommend changing the one above only (The White texture)
9- Do the Same to the other texture
10- To the second texture (The Dirty one) you might wanna need to add some more dirty texture!, you can use this brush





11- Now save, go back to the wizard and select each image and choose import, and import your images





12- Click next and choose your package name





13- Go to your downloads folder and you will find it there!
14- Start the game and check it
15- Click the thanks button and write a comment! , All questions are welcome!


Have Fun!

Can you use paint?

Paint is a toy. It is not a graphics editing program.You need a proper one, not MS paint. I use Paint. NET, which is free and can be obtained here: http://getpaint.net

I use Photoshop, though you could use gimp

You can, but i agree with pokedude, its just a toy! you should some other 'real' painting program, I used to gimp, its really cool, and free! If you are thinking about publishing your creation(using paint), then trust me! don't! lol

oh wow, this was a lot easier than i thought it would be. thank you so much!!

THATS BECAUSE ITS A UNI OBJECT. IF YOU DONT HAVE UNI YOU WONT HAVE THAT

if you want to answer someone jamie, be nice to them, don't write in caps, against the rules, or just don't answer anyone

i do have university, but this counter is still not showing up. my first box under options is also different. it says C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Deluxe\Base\

If i try to change it, it just reverts back.

Apparently you have The Sims 2 Deluxe, unfortunately i never got it so I'd never now what changed in it

thanks for this! I'm going to try recolouring :D
