  How To Change the Cover Shot on a Mac (for your lots)
  
  
  You may need Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
  Today, you're going to learn how to change the picture of the lots when you upload you house to the exchange.
  
  I will give you step by step instructions on how to do this easy process.
  
  Here is the link so you can download this software that lets you do this.
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/postal-sims3/files/Postal%20Editor/v0.9/installer-v0_9.jar/download
  
  STEP ONE
  
  Go to your finder and click on it. It should be on your dock here.

  STEP TWO
  Click on your applications floder here,
  [img]<a href="http://s943.photobucket.com/albums/ad280/kfq1990/?action=view&current=Screenshot2010-03-20at95454AM.png&quot; target="_blank"><img src="http://i943.photobucket.com/albums/ad280/kfq1990/Screenshot2010-03-20at95454AM.png&quot; border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>[/img]
  
  STEP THREE
  Once you clicked on that folder go look for the "postal icon here. double click on that.
  [img]<a href="http://s943.photobucket.com/albums/ad280/kfq1990/?action=view&current=Screenshot2010-03-20at95703AM.png&quot; target="_blank"><img src="http://i943.photobucket.com/albums/ad280/kfq1990/Screenshot2010-03-20at95703AM.png&quot; border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>[/img]
  
  Then double click on your icon and go to the button that says Postal-GUI.jar (it has a coffee cup on it.)
  
  From there you should see an empty white box.
  I'll show you from here what to do.
  STEP FOUR
  [img]<a href="http://s943.photobucket.com/albums/ad280/kfq1990/?action=view&current=Screenshot2010-03-20at100116AM.png&quot; target="_blank"><img src="http://i943.photobucket.com/albums/ad280/kfq1990/Screenshot2010-03-20at100116AM.png&quot; border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>[/img]
  Click on the file menu then go to the "Open" menu/ "Documents"/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Library
  
  You should be here after this process
  
  After this STOP.
  
  Go to your game and open it.
  
  Choose the house you want to upload.
  
  You should have the game started. go to "Edit Town" mode to upload the house. If you found it click it.
  Hit this button here. ( Its the one folder with the arrow)
  [img]<a href="http://s943.photobucket.com/albums/ad280/kfq1990/?action=view&current=Screenshot2010-03-20at101639AM.png&quot; target="_blank"><img src="http://i943.photobucket.com/albums/ad280/kfq1990/Screenshot2010-03-20at101639AM.png&quot; border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>[/img]
  After this go to the "SHOW EMPTY HOUSE" make sure the one you choose is there and EXIT
  
  Go to your program now and Look for the file, it is probably sorted by time and date by default.
  IMPORTANT MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A PICTURE THAT IS 512x512 PNG FOR THIS:PhotoShop or PhotoBucket or any other would work to change pictures
  
  Updated On September 18, 2010.
  Recommended Programs:
  iPhoto, which comes free with a purchase of any Mac.
  Photoshop
  
  STEP FIVE
  
  Once you have your file open your "white box" should look like this.
  [img]<a href="http://s943.photobucket.com/albums/ad280/kfq1990/?action=view&current=Screenshot2010-03-20at103030AM.png&quot; target="_blank"><img src="http://i943.photobucket.com/albums/ad280/kfq1990/Screenshot2010-03-20at103030AM.png&quot; border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>[/img]
  
  After this look for this file here. It should say "Icon house large" With the picture the game gives it.
  [img]<a href="http://s943.photobucket.com/albums/ad280/kfq1990/?action=view&current=Screenshot2010-03-20at103030AM.png&quot; target="_blank"><img src="http://i943.photobucket.com/albums/ad280/kfq1990/Screenshot2010-03-20at103030AM.png&quot; border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>[/img]
  
  It should end with "0x00000000" is what your looking for click it.
  
  Now go to the button that says "Import PNG" AND click that. Click "desktop" then click the image that you resized to 512x512 "png. and hit the "commit" button.
  
  You should see a picture of your house like this.
  [img]<a href="http://s943.photobucket.com/albums/ad280/kfq1990/?action=view&current=Screenshot2010-03-20at103917AM.png&quot; target="_blank"><img src="http://i943.photobucket.com/albums/ad280/kfq1990/Screenshot2010-03-20at103917AM.png&quot; border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>[/img]
  
  Now since you hit commit, go to the File/Save as and click "Save" and click the "OK" button there.
  Close your program you wont need it any more.
  
  Now go back to your game and start it up again.
  
  
  Go back to the show empty house folder, from here click on the house it should be the first one.
  
  Click the "share" button and the message should come up and say "export successful".
  
  
  CLOSE YOUR GAME
  
  
  
  Now for some final steps!!
  
  Go to your game again only the launcher and and click on the "upload" button. Click on the house you used the picture for and click "upload".
  
  Go to your "HomePage and see if the picture worked for success.
  
  This is what you should see on your page.

  So that is the process for this program. It's rather simple and I also hope that you all learned something today!
