CEP EXTRA Documentation SimPE users (creators of recolours and objects) PLEASE READ In order to create recolours and clones for CEP objects (i.e. Maxis objects modified or improved by the CEP), SimPE must know where to find the CEP files. The latest SimPE versions, by default, will find by themselves the location of all the CEP files (including the Extras), but not the older SimPe versions. The CEP installer is capable of modifying the internal SimPE configuration file, so to automatically declare the location of the CEP Extra files; but a manual check is definitely due. Just perform the following simple steps, looking at the image below as a reference. 1) Start SimPE and go to “Extra -> Preferences -> File Table” 2) First off, look for the line “Folder: {SaveGameFolder}zCEP_EXTRA\”; if you can see it, then you don’t need to do anything. If there is no such line, proceed with Step 3. 3) Click “Add”, then “Load Folder” and then browse to (Documents)\EA Games\The Sims 2 4) Select the folder “zCEP_EXTRA”; please note that it is NOT into the Downloads! It’s in the main “The Sims 2” folder! 5) Click OK on all the open windows to confirm. 6) Perform again steps 3 to 5, adding the folder: (PROGRAM FILES)\EA Games\The Sims 2\TSData\Res\Catalog\zCEP-EXTRA 7) Restart SimPE. Details about the CEP Extra components (in order of appearance in the installer page) Chessboard (Base Game) FEATURE: board and pedestal recolourable at once. The original chessboard had only the pedestal recolourable; the matching textures for the board did exist, but were “lost”. Installing this CEP Extra, the chessboard becomes fully recolourable (thus recovering the “lost” board colours). The existing recolours in most cases, will still work and will automatically get the new feature. Only the recolours created for the pedestal only will stop working. (Fix originally included in CEP 7.0c, then fixed in CEP 7.0d and then released as separate CEP Extra in CEP 8.0) Colonial Shower-Tub (Base Game) FIX: Tub and metal plumbing now get dirty. In the original shower-tub, only the curtain and the rim became dirty. Installing this CEP Extra, the tub and the plumbing get correctly dirty. Note: neither the tub nor the plumbing are recolourable: they only turn to dirty when needed. (Fix released as separate CEP Extra in CEP 8.0; never included in previous CEP versions) Club Table Lamp (Base Game) FIX: ‘Lit’ state + lost base colours. In the original lamp, the shade didn’t lit up correctly: it always looked turned off; installing this CEP Extra, the problem is fixed, for all the four shades. In addition, the Extra makes the lamp base recolourable, and retrieves 3 more “lost” Maxis recolours for the base. (Fix originally included in CEP 7.0c and then released as separate CEP Extra in CEP 8.0) “Simline” wall/table phones (Base Game) “Talkatron” wall/table phones (Pets) FEATURE: fully recolourable + Automatic handset. All the 4 phones will become fully recolourable, using this CEP Extra; moreover, the handset takes automatically the recolour from the base (for the Simline one, it happens when you go to live mode). Please note that the recolourable handset was already included in the older CEP version as a standard feature. The difference is that now the handset takes the proper recolour automatically. (Fix originally included in CEP 1.0, affecting only the base-game phone, then re- released as separate CEP Extra in CEP 8.0 and lastly FIXED in CEP Extra 8.1) Toilet Stall (Base Game and Bon Voyage) FEATURE: recolourable stall + improved mesh + new colours This object was first released with the base game; the stall was made recolourable with the CEP 1.0., but there was an ugly glitch: the handle was not recolourable, and always remained green; and the mesh was misaligned, as you can see looking at the stripes in the first screenshot. Then, Bon Voyage was released: the stall was still recolourable but the old CEP 1 recolours ceased to work. This CEP Extra re-enable the functionality of the old recolours, fixes the mesh alignment (making the old recolours look better), removes the ugly handle and makes available in any game the 4 Maxis colours that came with Bon Voyage. Thanks to MaryLou for fixing the mesh and the UV-map. (Fix originally included in CEP 1.0, then rewritten and included in CEP 7.0 and lastly re- released as separate CEP Extra in CEP 8.0) Videogame Console (BaseGame) FEATURE: fully recolourable, incl. controllers. There isn’t much to say about this… Many people asked me to make the Videogame Console recolourable, but it required changes in the mesh and in the game code, and therefore I never included it in the CEP. Now you can finally recolour the Videogame Console ☺ NOTE: in order to apply the recolour to the controllers, use the “Design Tool” directly over the two controllers. (Fix released as separate CEP Extra in CEP 8.0; never included in previous CEP versions) “Night Club” Islands & Bar (Nightlife) FEATURE: matching top While the “Night Club” counters have a recolourable top, the island and the bar always had a black top, thus preventing the user to match the furniture. This CEP Extra contains a modified mesh for the Island and the Bar, that changes the top colour according to the colour chosen by the user for the finish. Important: this fix has a drawback; it allows only one top for each finish colour. The top/finish matches are shown in the second picture. (Fix originally released as a separate download, then included in CEP 7.0 and lastly released as separate CEP Extra in CEP 8.0) “OpenMe Wide” double window (Nightlife) FIX: light A Maxis bug prevented the “OpenMe Wide” double window from casting a proper light. This fix created by MaryLou solves the problem. (Fix originally released by MaryLou as a separate download, then included in CEP 7.0 and lastly released as separate CEP Extra in CEP 8.0) Luxury Stereo (Glamour Life) FIX: no flashing purple parts The GLS Luxury stereo, when turned on, showed some parts flashing purple; this problem was experienced only by some users (some of which thought it was an intended feature of the stereo…). This CEP Extra fixes the bug, so that the stereo will correctly light up when used. (Fix originally released as a separate download, then included in CEP 5.0b and lastly released as separate CEP Extra in CEP 8.0) Garden Rocks (Seasons & Bon Voyage) FIX: all 4 stones now available at the same time. Bon Voyage contains two Garden Rocks that conflict with the two coming with Seasons: as a consequence, only 2 rocks out of 4 are available in game (the other 2 disappear from the catalog due to the conflict). This CEP Extra solves the conflicts, making all the four rocks available in catalog at the same time (and makes them all recolourable). (Fix released as separate CEP Extra in CEP 8.1; never included in previous CEP versions. Updated with CEP 9.0) Cheap Shower Tub (Basegame) FIX: Plumbing now recolourable. The standard CEP, even without any Extra, makes the cheap shower-tub recolourable, but the plumbing always stays the same colour. Using this CEP Extra, not only the plumbing parts become recolourable, but they automatically take the colour from the tub. As a consequence, all the existing recolours will be automatically applied to the plumbing, too. This fix is released as a separate Extra because it modifies the mesh of the shower-tub. (Fix released as separate CEP Extra in CEP 8.1; never included in previous CEP versions) 2-story Concrete Column (OFB) FIX: Restored after FT removed it. Starting with FreeTime, this 2-story column that came with Open For Business, was no longer available in catalog. Oddly enough, only the 2-story column vanished, while the single story one was not removed by FreeTime. Installing this CEP Extra, the missing column will be available again for those users that have FreeTime or newer EPs. (Fix released as separate CEP Extra in CEP 8.1; never included in previous CEP versions) ’Club’ Counters (Base Game) FIX: matching inner border. The fix affects all the ‘Club’ counters, including the commercial version and the island. When applying a different recolour to the top, the inner border – in most cases – didn’t match the finish. (Fix released as separate CEP Extra in CEP 9.1; never included in previous CEP versions) ‘Bohemian’ Double Bed (Apartment Life) FEAT: recolourable and matching drapes + restored ‘lost’ drape recolours. By default, this bed had the drapes always in the same colour, and was not possible to recolour them. This Extra makes the drapes “slave” of the frame, so that changing colour to the wooden frame causes the drapes to change colour as well. Since the frame comes in three colours, this Extra associates each frame with a specific drape colour (one is the former only colour; another one was created by Maxis and ‘lost’ in the game files; the third drape colour has been purposely created for the CEP by me). Known issue: when installing the CEP 9.1 (or newer) for the first time, it is possible that the drapes of the existing Bohemian beds start flashing blue; you can easily fix this by applying any recolour to the bed frame using the Design Tool. (Fix released as separate CEP Extra in CEP 9.1; never included in previous CEP versions) ‘Bohemian’ Upper and Lower Moldings (Apartment Life) [by Havelock] FIX: repository - FEAT: unlocked diagonals + retrieved lost colours + shiftable The ‘Bohemian’ architecture set was messed up, because the pieces couldn’t pick the colours from the right repository object, and therefore appeared only in one colour. This Extra (made by Havelock) fixes the Repository, thus restoring the original 3 Maxis colours. Moreover, Havelock has un– locked and widely fixed the diagonal pieces, and made the entire set shiftable up and down the wall, just like the paintings. (Fix created by Havelock and first released as separate CEP Extra in CEP 9.1; updated and re-released with CEP 9.2)
