Updated to Generations - Old hidden stencil thread «1234567…11...Next Go

MrHawk

This is an old thread where we were sharing alternate styles of store items that, for some reason or other, were not enabled. In short, this thread was a way to unlock more from what we've already paid for.
As I've begun reuploading all of the styles plus blank versions and the thread's been necromancer-attacked, I thought I'd change up the first post to make it easier for those who want to access to these, using neither lots nor mods. Please feel free to download any of these styles into your game. I'll keep uploading them as I go, with the most recent releases on top.

I'd love to see the source of your info. Not saying it's not true but a bit more info might be helpful to us. : )

And honestly, it's sad if these items are broken items on their way to be added to the broken store items list too. Question, do you think they are really broken or did they simply not want to "unlock" the stencils?

Stencils?

MrHawk

Honestly I think they just forgot.

I've found some images but won't link because it wasn't me who discovered it. I don't want to link to someone else's photobucket.

Needless to say, there should be more stencil / decal options. The scroll should have a carp scene and a mountain scene. The painting should have a cherry blossom scene and a wave scene. The lights should also have cherry blossom and simji options. The kimono should have a wave scene and a bird scene and the dog bowl should also have a blue and white snowman scene.

Edit: A full list of items with missing decals / stencils is here : http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/225/457767.page

Ok, I get it if it's found in a persons photobucket account. : )

Too bad about the "missing" cherry blossom scenes. I think those would be nice.

I'll see if I can get someone who has the set to download the fix and then give me some photos. If I can I'll post them on my site and link here, m'kay?

They look really nice, actually.

And I was so pleased with my beautiful new set - now all I can do is shake my head.

Still love the set, but one does not like to feel taken advantage of.

But thank you for showing us those gorgous missing designs.

tallcoolone

Thanks again, MrHawk!

Very disappointing that the items appear to either be "broken" or the other stencils where forgotten.

While the items currently are nice, they would have been even better with the intended stencils.

blewis823

Now I wonder if they were really forgotten or will come in a new store item for more bucks?

Thanks MrHawk for making us aware.

cupcake

Why do they keep doing this? This isn't the first time all the stencils are not available for an item. Is there an easy way to unlock the stencils so they are available for use?


Edit: have you noticed that the first two missing stencils go really well with other missing stencils from another store sets?

I remember finding a site that had a mod that added those stencils that were missing, but forgot the name of the creator x.x

AznSensei

Ahhh Found it, to help out here's some screenshots:

It's too bad that the Longevity wall hanging is so overpriced. Those are some really nice stencils that they (almost) included.

I'm just curious, but what does the mod actually do on a coding level that EA could do with a Store Patch?

Again, just curious.

It's on a site that we cannot mention here. Those very stencils are added and used just like the pictures show. Friend request you so I can comment on your page.

Just look up Clara Unlocked Stencils on google and you'll find it.

To be honest, I can't really know the details of that as they never mentioned it. All I know is that they have ways to access the item and know that there were missing stencils. Most likely the coding of the item would have a # or something indicating that there were other designs, but were not released.

I found the site already though, thanks ladies

AnzSensei,

Thank you for the pictures. The designs are even lovelier on the items.

Makes me wish I used mods.

You read my mind. No one's memory is that bad and, even giving them the benefit of the doubt, the best you can say about this kind of error is that their quality control is nonexistent.

So someone wasn't paying attention and put a comma where there should be a period again? (Old programming joke. You'd be surprised how common that actually is.)

Wow those hidden stencils are gorgeous! I bought the set and would love to be able to use all the designs. I checked out the other site but my resource.cfg file looks different from the example they give, and I'm afraid to tinker as I don't even understand what the resource.cfg is or how it works. With my luck, I'd break all my cc. Still fun to see the hidden designs though!

They are beautiful and detailed. The day they came out I posted did they have additional stencils and now we know they do.http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/471469.page Why did they spend the time creating all these stencils and then refuse to allow us to access them the normal way. It would increase game building and sharing unique creation, which the game hypes.
Also, you forgot:
pirate Sign (Shown on building.) missing decal of decals of Llama head, instead of skull, mermaid, compass and ship


Pirate Flag (simpoint item)
decals of Pirate, Llama head. instead of skull, mermaid, boat wheels and ship
(need picture)

Olympian Physic vase

Octagonal Animal window

Animal window


Then generations had several picture and banners, too. That were never unlock. The Goth picture has a family in varied costumes (teenager missing, of course) and a family in matching red sweaters.
The balloon banner has cake and wedding rings
The Unicorn picture also giant a giant flower bloom, a fairy sitting on a crescent moon
And the car picture for the babies room has a duck and the others a teddy.

And sadly they are ALL beautifully done but not accessible without a cheat.

Maybe will get them unlocked for the Holidays as a surprise.
If there are Easter eggs. WE found them now unlock them, please.

MrHawk

Thanks for the heads up on the ones I missedgngrsnp
