Hello forum,
I'm asking the above question because I'm a wee bit confused about the things that are associated with each other.
I've been raking about the debug objects for a wee while and was quite daunted with the amount of individual objects that need changing. The first thing I tried was changing the texture of the plates, I picked the generic plate thinking that every plate would change but it didn't, every dirty plate took on the texture but made uneaten single dishes were default white. I think I then changed one single serving of something or other but gave up after that because I couldn't be bothered recolouring them all.
Then today, as I really love those Will-O-The-Wisps and have one adorning my lot, I decided to replace the terrarium with a big bottle. I cloned that then switched the meshes and lo and behold, every terrarium has been changed. In theory this is not a problem and saves me a lot of work but I'm confused by the difference-if I replaced the mesh for the plate as well as the texture would they all take on the change?
All info greatly appreciated.

Which plate did you clone? It's very likely that plates will have a system of some kind because they need to be present with many food meshes and they also need to have different states (food just put on plate, food on plate partially eaten, dirty plate, etc). Other items that don't need to be present with multiple other meshes or in different states will not have the same system.

Before I answer that, are there issues with using the quick reply feature here on the forum? I ask because I left an answer here and an error report and both are missing this morning. I possibly left the forum too quickly or something.
Defaulting though, the plate I cloned had plate and generic in the title and I thought that was maybe the one that needed to change. I only changed the texture but it's obviously the one used for all dirty plates, which seems to when the first forkful is removed from the plate. I did the single spaghetti serving after that and it seemed to confirm I'll need to do them all. Is there anything in the file that would point to it being a "master" type object. I thought the terrariums were individual as they are all there in debug.
Thanks again.

I'm sorry that your posts didn't show up. This is a known bug with Proboards that I have complained about in their support section on several occasions. Have your two missing posts shown up yet? Did they show in the Recent Posts list but not in the forum you posted them in or did they just not show up anywhere? The issue doesn't seem specific to Quick Reply...I've had it happen to posts of mine that were not Quick Reply posts as well. I'll take a closer look at the plates and see what's up with them.  |

I've only noticed it happening in quick reply, at first I thought I was just being forgetful in some way, and no, as far as I know the posts don't ever show up. I'm grateful for your having a look at the plates, thanks.

If you clone a plate of food as a default override you will see the plate image has an instance number of 74C9A000BC113D0F. No matter which plate of food you clone this way the instance number is always the same. I think you could clone any plate of food as a default override, replace that image with yours, and have it show up under a freshly served plate of food. I didn't check them all...but all the ones I did check use this same image for the plate. Great avatar btw |

Ha ha, I've never bothered with avatars before but I actually like the sims in S4, they make me want to play with them-I only really built in S2 with very little actual playing. Glad you like it Thanks for the plate info, I'm going to go looking at them again today-only this time I'll remember to hit over-ride instead of new mesh when trying to DR. I don't know how many times I cloned a coffee cup yesterday before I realised my mistake. Thanks again. |

Hello,
Didn't want to create a new topic since I found this one. I got an idea to create an override of textures of the food plates, but I can't find them using regular menu Object -> Override. As I understand, I need to find them in game files but then I am not sure how to extract them. Did anybody find these files?

If you want it to be an override click the Override selection under the Object button after following the tutorial instead of recolor or 3D mesh. |

I knew that we can use ctrl+shift+c combination in the program, but it didn't even click in my mind when I was trying to figure out a way to clone the plate. Thank you very much again! |
