    Sorry again but thank you for any sugguestions

    I put a kimono on the wall
    went to edit the item
    The save circled in red does nothing when I click on it
    nor do the other two icons beside it. Its like they are greyed out.

    The box to the right is sitting there and everything on that side
    can be clicked but not on the left side.

    Jools
    I want to apologize for asking someone else the same question
    If I upset or offended you I did not mean to. Im inclined to sometimes type the same thing to other people and its not a good
    trait.
    I sorted it out through your instructions. What I was doing wrong was not downloading the lots.
    Thank you again for your help and again my apologies

    Please check your gift icon when you get a chance.

    I saw the original thread when Mr. Hawk posted it. I was absolutely stunned. I couldn't believe how much we were missing!!! It's hard to fathom the reason for leaving it out. I posted my appreciation for the hard work in their thread, but I think it's definitely worth another Thank you!!! to Mr. Hawk and AznSensei for all their time vested in this project and for sharing the result with us.

    Thank you Joolster for reiterating these hidden features! I actually lost the original thread because I was numb and forgot to bookmark it, so this is awesome! lol Another great way to freshen up our games without having to prod the ol wallet. :wink:

    I don't know what I'm doing wrong. It worked for the couple of Japanese items I did but for the pets and generations items no new stencils are showing up.

    I seem to have all the stencils from "Pet Plated by Tack-EE Inc. (wall sculpture) - atleast 2 stencils (other cats and dogs)" but nothing else.

    What exactly isn't working? Have you downloaded the lot with the Pets/Generations items on it? If so, does the lot appear empty in your game or something?

    I also had all of the writing plates in my game.

    Thanks. I didn't realize that I needed to place the lot. I thought if I placed the items the new stencils would just be there because it worked that way for the Japanese items. I placed the lot now and have them.

    In order to save the missing stencils you need to click on the object with the stencil you want and save preset, just like you would save a recolour.

    I guess with the amount of different presets on various items per EP or store set it's easy to miss some here and there. :mrgreen:

    yea I don't get it...


    and ok if they mis one here and there... then when we tell them why not fix it in patches... oposit alot of other things this must be easy to fix in patches.... like extreamly easy.... :?

    Since this is more up to date, there are a few more stencils as well. When I was asking Brighty today, I was more looking to see if Mr. Hawk had updated his mods as his Imelda Marcos mod only had the date of 2012-10-07.

    This from Seasons:

    There is also those from the world adventures set. Mr. Hawk has the individually in his studio, but you can also get all the Sims3pak files from his site in one download here.

    I was wondering if anyone has seen others.

    Thanks for the bump Jenn, I added MrHawk's studio link to the OP since he regularly uploads de-decaled base game objects.

    Giving this a nudge for Cassee.

    I never even knew this! WOOT! I downloaded the BeLessStupid mod, though the name intimidates me. Like I have something to live up to now...
    Hi. I'm Danger. I like spaceships, Pringles, and cats. I dislike fruits and vegetables, sunlight, and the motion picture Titanic. I do not own a sword, nor do I know how to draw unicorns. As you can see, I don't have much to offer the world.
