thank you! I simply don't understand why they don't automatically include mirrored versions of all of these things from the start!

I am glad you made this item for the game. It has been a sore spot for me also that this exit sign only when one direction. Thank you!

Wow!

Today is the first time I've seen my item available to download and I was blown away by the response. So many thank you messages! There's even one from Bakie, one of my favourite creators at MTS! And, over 100 downloads already! Fantastic. It's so rewarding to see my very first creation will help make some fans game just a touch better.

Saying that, I realised I didn't include the alternate colours for the item. So, I want to update the object eventually. I just have one problem. I have no frikkin clue how to do this and I have tried. However, I just need to Google a bit more. Hopefully, I'll figure it out. lol In the meantime, at least we have this in the game.

Anyway, thanks again for your kind words and support. It's genuinely appreciated.

Peace.
DD.

Thank heavens for this! It always bothered me that there was only one way for my sims to run in an emergency!

Do you think you could simply edit the original sign and have new swatches as the mirrored version? Things can get very cluttered in buy mode very quickly

Hiya.

I know what you mean about cluttered menus. My Mods folder is 3.5 gig. >.<

Since I'm new to all this, I didn't even think of that. I get what you're saying, but if I did what you asked, wouldn't it just create a separate version of the original, but with 6 swatches, instead of 3? If there's a way round this, I'll need to find out how to do it.

Also, wanted to acknowledge the latest few thank you posts. They are genuinely appreciated. I'm pleased to see I wasn't alone and other fans wanted the same as I did. Then again, it's no surprise, as it was a pretty obvious niche really. Just glad I've been able to fill it.

I don't really know how it works but I've seen several mods that simply add new swatches to an existing object rather than create a copy or override the object completely without creating a new version of it. I don't know if this link will clear anything up or not. http://sims4studio.com/thread/5151/...de-add-swatches

Sorry for the delay. As usual: Real Life > internet. I had a look at the thread. Parts of it made sense, but only a bit. Like I said, I'm not overly experienced doing this, as this was my first item. Making this wasn't complicated. After I made this, I figured I would do the same with other objects that need a mirror image. I applied the same technique as I did for this item, but none of them worked and I have no clue why.

That said, I'm not willing to give up and I'll read over the thread a few more times and try to understand it better. I will try my best to figure this out, but considering my real life commitments, finding spare time is difficult. Hopefully, I'll eventually figure it out and I promise to send you a private message if or when I do, to save you from having to check yourself. Just don't hold your breath. lol
