Greetings all.
Am building a new city and am teaching myself how to use the various tools for recolouring such as S3OC and S3PE. One of my aims is to match the style of the community buildings as I find the various colour schemes and different bricks etc distracting.
So, I was working on the Wilsanoff (sp?) Community theatre to match it into the red brick style I have settled on and got this far..
Origional on left, mine on right :-

I have the building and the LOD recoloured to my satisfaction, but I noticed that none of the textures in the model contain the movie posters, so my very old and addled brain is assuming that somewhere in the game, these are held seperately and then applied when the building is loaded into the world and locked onto some sort of reference point on the building.
I have seen a mod here that replaces 4 of the 6 posters with new ones by using an _ADS tag DDS file?? also new to me.
Menaceman44's replacements (http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=393772)
However, I am also looking at trying to replace the other 2 posters.
As a total newbie to this modding thing, I am trying to find out how to work out how and where these posters are kept in the game and would appreciate any advice or links to tutorials as to how to go about finding them. I searched all items in S3OC in case they appeared as pics, but didn't see them (doesn't mean they aren't there though). I understand this is real beginner stuff but any help appreciated so I can continue my learning.
Sorry if this is covered elsewhere, but I couldn't find anything on a search.
Regards
Moria
