The link for Hawk says Not Found. I will continue reading this thread to find out if it was fixed, Thank you so much for this info! I had no idea!
Oh, I did manage to D/L the Pets/Generations stencil fix.
I hope this isn't necromancy, I clicked on a link in @StephSteb's siggie.
Actually, only one link is valid for me. No longer here and not found are the others. Does this mean the problem is resolve? I hope so, I just install seasons and thankfully the one working link is for Pets/Generations. Put that in the game.
As you may have noticed, I haven't played in a few years. Trying to catch up!
I never knew all of this was even possible. I guess I learn something new everyday I will have to go back to the beginning and check each one to get all of them.
I just went to MrHawk's page and into his studio to download, rec, and fav! There are a lot, but putting these into your game puts them directly into your presets for those items. When you download a lot, you still have to save each of those items as presets.
I came here from the link in @StephSteb 's signature. I was very confused at first. I started up my game, found one of the afflicted items, but couldn't see any extra stencils or how to save them as a new preset. I read everything about three times. Then I read portions of the original thread and saw someone make a comment about 'not downloading the lot first'. I didn't realize, having read the text in the first post, that I needed to download something first. I know that this thread was mostly copied from the original thread, but I think it might be a good idea to place a note near the beginning that a download is required.
Edited to add: Oh, and in this thread from ModTheSims, MistressTiffany posted links to several package files with missing stencils. http://modthesims.info/t/557530
It took me a minute to figure it out as well, @Ktarian Thank you for adding that info!
It took me more like 10 or 15 minutes, @StephSteb xD; You're clearly quicker on the uptake than I am. Shared all the various links I found to groups of the files when I went google searching for answers. Hope it helps some others too.
On a side note, some of those links have overlap with one another on which stencils they unlock, so it's a bad idea to just get everything from all the links, and a better idea to look and see which ones you want, or how best to get everything without overlap (so they don't conflict).
I am useless at this kind of stuff, but had bookmarked this thread for when I got cleverer!!! Any 'making it easy/stencils for dummies' is definitely welcomed by me.
I have a weird sense of humour. If it doesn't come across, please forgive me in advance.

Ok, what you have to do first is download the missing stencils from Mr Hawk's studio. This was the step that messed me up, lol. I didn't realize you had to actually download anything. I thought it was just hiding in my game.
Now, once I did that, when I clicked on the item in buy mode, the stencil just showed up. I don't know if there was an update since this thread was created or that is just how it worked in my game, but once I downloaded them, they were there and I didn't have to save or do anything else.
Yes, the saving it as an alternate style only applies if instead of downloading the actual stencil from Mr. Hawk's studio, you instead download a lot on which several items have been placed. If you download and install a lot, then you need to save each stencil, and then save your game. After that, you can uninstall the lot if you like, and the stencils will still be there. If you download and install the actual stencil, then you don't need to do anything else.
I kind of would prefer the lot option, but there isn't a lot that actually has all of them. Both of the lots that I linked to only have some of them.
@SjappielovePaul It does take quite a bit of time to go through all of the stencils to decide which ones you would like to add. I only added the ones I really liked but you still have to go through pages and pages (I think it's like fifty something pages) of them so maybe not all afternoon, but yes, quite a bit of time. Worth it, though
In my lurking days I came across these; and saved them in my Faves for download later. Then I forgot all about them, until now. If you've already checked these out, just ignore me.

As a note, the link at the end of the post leads to a 404 page. However, Mr. Hawk does have a lot uploaded to his studio in the exchange, and it can be found here: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=4894476

This is Mr Hawk's lot: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=4894476
This is another Studio worth checking: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=7649501
I have not used these, but if in doubt ask Willky (she cannot get onto this forum, but she is on MyPage) as she has done work with stencils I believe.
Would be interested in your findings.
Sorry @Ktarian, just noticed you already posted the link to Mr Hawk's lot.

No worries at all. It isn't as though I have a monopoly on posting helpful links. Heehee.
