This tutorial assumes you have the following: Sims4Studio, a text editor program (wordpad,notepad,word etc.)
and some photo editor to create your images in .dds or .png format.
This is not for the faint of heart and can get confusing, so take your time.
This is set up for the way I work and I have tried to be clear, but I think you can figure it out if I missed something.
I have used Wooden Helicopter recipes.
Basically I take the name of the toy I am making and replace the name in this document with the new name.
Examples of what I mean:
If I start with Car and want to make Truck
Car0 becomes Truck0
recipe_Woodwork_Toy_LeniadWoodenSportsCar0 becomes recipe_Woodwork_Toy_LeniadWoodenTruck0
etc.
EA suggests naming convention beginning with YOUR user name, so replace Leniad with your name.
Create a copy of this text file and change the name, to your own food name.
Then working in the copy make changes in the document as you make them.
Comments are within ( ) so don't use that text in number generation or code replacement.
When I say instance number I mean KEY instance number.
I make all the text changes for a section, then make the changes in Sim4Studio then move to next section.
I copy the HASH section names and numbers and insert in the bottom of the section I am working,
so I don't have to scroll up and down the page 100 times.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLONE SECTION
Open Sims4Studio and choose selective clone, under Object button, type the name of the toy you want to make.
Create clone of toy Car with Sims4Studio
Name Clone 0Toy_WoodenSportsCar1
Next extract the recipe from WoodenHelicopter1
3771190847<!--recipe_Woodwork_Toy_LeniadWoodenHelicopter1.xml
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
HASH section
Returning to the new object 0Toy_WoodenSportsCar1
Let's find the hex numbers for names you will need. Replace "Leniad" with your own name.
Using Sims4Studio tools select hash generator and copy the text into the text box.
Select Hexidecimal at bottom of popup - FNV32 is the Hex32 number FN64 is the Hex64 number.
When decimal numbers are required select decimal at bottom of popup.
You will need both hex and decimal numbers for some objects so be careful.
ONLY change the text Leniad and the toy name in the names below, then add text to hash generator to get YOUR numbers.
LeniadToy_WoodenSportsCar1 hex32 = 00000000E3814D5F dec32 = 3816901983
recipe_Woodwork_Toy_LeniadWoodenSportsCar1 hex32 = 00000000C2BE1A8B dec32 = 3267238539
WoodenSportsCar1_name 0xB56F7A0B hex32 value of WoodenSportsCar1_name
value = Wooden Toy Sports Car 1
LeniadWoodenSportsCar1_phase_interaction_name 0x9C1995AD hex32 value of LeniadWoodenSportsCar1_phase_interaction_name
value = Craft Wooden Sports Car
LeniadWoodenSportsCar1_recipe_description 0x2B7D08DE hex32 value of LeniadWoodenSportsCar1_recipe_description
value = A lovely wooden toy Sports Car for your child.
