[LN or Base Game] Rabbit Hole Replacements (The Rugs are back!) (Pets Fix)

[silvertora]

Hi,

Thank you for all your hard work - is there a way to make it so that the game doesn't say "custom" when displayed or talked about? Nothing worse than when you hover your mouse over a lot it says eg. "custom school" or "custom theatre" etc. I know I'm probably asking too much, but thanks all the same. :)

Love this download and works wonders on Coconut Island. Will there be a rug for the Equestrian Centre or should I try to make one, even though I suck at that sorta thing LOL?

That's what we've been discussing for the last couple of pages. :D At last report Jynx has been really busy with other aspects of his life. It would be sweet if he were to make an equestrian center rug but I'm not expecting it at this point.

Most likely you could edit a copy of the rug in S3PE with a different name.

I know some of the information might be outdated, but it is a place to start and probably has more that enough information to get you going in the right direction.

ooh thanks, I'll check that out.

For those talking about doing this, I think one of the resources for the EC is S3_02DC343F_48000000_000000000098A91F%%+OBJK.objkey

[rsdworker]

just asking if there rugs and doors would work with showtime?

[Regina]

Hi, rsdworker! I'm afraid I can't answer that as I don't yet have Showtime. Kudos and bonus points to go anyone who will try and post back! :MrGreen:

(Of course try it in a testing town just in case.)

Hi rsdworker,
I think these rugs always will work as long as EA doesn't change the way the rabbitholes work in principle and also they don't start a second complete rebuild of resources like for Pets.
Those rugs I used in my game worked fine with Showtime and the latest patches.

Sookie, it might be good to post how to put package files into the game since Jinx's rugs and doors are all package files. Some people don't know how to do that. I know I didn't and had to ask.:MrGreen: Just a suggestion.....:MrGreen:

[Ghost]

True...

If you don't have any Package CC already, you are going to need to go into your My DOcuments/Electronic Arts/Sims 3 folder and make a new subfolder called Mods. Inside that folder you are going to need to have another folder called Packages, along with a file called Resource.cfg. A folder for Overrides is sometimes used for things like a default replacement, so you should also put it in Mods if you are going to be needing it. (I have one, but it's empty.)
You can make the Resource.cfg with NotePad (or whatever a Mac user uses for the pure basic text entry.) as long as you be sure to save it with the name "Resource.cfg" and set to save as "all files" not .txt.

This is mine:

Your Packages go in the Package folder inside the Mods folder.

If you want to be lazy about it, there is a framework all set up at MTS in the wiki article about installing Packages.

Ghost, thanks for posting this much needed information. I did not have it handy to do it.
