This is a very interesting question, I have noticed it while uploading the files. I think that the Mesh Tool does something strange when processing many file one after another, without closing the program every time.

Anyone is experiencing something strange with the towers? The clickable area is correct?


MATTEW: the are not the size of the original tower, the biggest one is 50% of the original. And all of them are invisible, while in neighborhood view, so you can't replace the neighborhood one with a tower placed on a lot.

Numenor, is it possible to put the swans in buy mode so that we can put them on our lots?

Sorry, Konocoshushi, but the swans have too a simplified mesh to be displayed in the lots: they only can be used in a low-detailed environment, such as the Neighborhood view.
Only some NH objects have a mesh detailed enough to be "ported" to the Buy Mode catalog.

Is this recolorable at all? It's a decent object but I really hate that big Sims2 logo. My sims aren't supposed to know they are living in a game. Shhh.

Actually, the Sims2 logo is the only recolourable part: you are lucky!

Any way to find the waterfall that were supposed to be in the neigbourhood view and shiped with the game that they unfortunatly didn't include?

You know? I didn't realize that the waterfall isn't available in the neighborhood catalog! But there are some files related to the waterfall nested into the game packages: I'll try and see if it's possible to bring it back from the Oblivion

14-MAY-2005: IMPORTANT UPDATE!!!
Somehow, the GUIDs of these water towers conflict with another object of mine: the glass double door (from the Wall-Window set). I've updated the GUIDs in all the Water Towers (except the huge one, that was correct), so PLEASE RE-DOWNLOAD!

I promised to another user to make the radio tower long ago... It proved to be a sailor's promise, though, because I still couldn't find the time to do it, and I'll be very busy also in the near future. Later on, maybe...
