BigBoss, yes it is. I have Uni and it works

I believe the Lady On Red painting is original sims2, so it should work without EP (???? yes, no, maybe)

Pretty good! Once you figure out the Recolours option on it, make a few colors like yellow, red, blue hoses! ^.^

I have looked at your package.... Your shape naming is correct and is usually the first thing I find wrong when colors are not enabled... I then proceeded to your texture... I found something odd there, the daisy texture and not the lady in red and also the hose texture... This is where your troubles begin... I have also extracted the mesh and will attempt to knock your poly count down... I can fix the package completely and upload it for you to compare if you would like... Let me know...


* I reworked the package.... Here is a picture(below)... I will only upload the package if it is what you wish...

** I changed the clone base object to the "chinese opera mask" as it is a better base object for your hose... I also made a re-color(very basic) as a test to show that the object is indeed color enabled.

*** I ran the object through optimizers and had no success in dropping the poly count any as it is due mainly to the cylindrical design as you mentioned above (just thought I would try anyway.. )

JWoods: I take it all you had to do was find a better original object to clone? One with only 1 base texture (not counting the shadow) rather than the 2 that apparently Lady On Red had? Thanks for the help

Default typo
Well.... I chose to reclone because of that fact you stated "1 base texture" but in order to fix the original package I would have had to do a lot more... . If I am not mistaken I believe the (not lady in red) but Daisy(that is the texture I found in your package) had another Texture, the frame in it.... To utilize this texture it would have been best to break the object into two shapes... IE: hose as one shape and fixture and housing as another seperate shape... once the package was completed it effects a lot more then just the GMDC file....
