May 2010: Updated Items

I've had a lot of people asking about the recent updates and about new recolour sets being tucked away behind the mesh sets they belong with. Our system is not set up well to deal with things like this although we will be making some changes over the coming weeks.

Having gotten fed up of knowing there were a huge number of fixes to deal with, I decided to put all other projects on hold in order to get this done. Currently I'm a little over halfway through an estimated 1300 hour task so I hope to be finished by early June.

Whilst the date created on some sets may be wildly inaccurate, the updated date should be reliable! If it's been updated recently, it's a good idea to download it again! When replacing items you will be asked if you want to overwrite existing files - choose Yes.

If you are a house builder who shares your houses online, you are welcome to use the objects in your houses (full policy details here), but please check in once in a while to see if items you've used have been updated so you can let your visitors know/update your online houses accordingly

    Sets, Singles & Meshes

    ALL items that need a custom mesh will include it in both the SET and the SINGLE zip.

    Where a set has 2 or more versions of the same object, a base game version and one that has EP features, the set zip will ONLY contain the EP version. If you want the set plus the base game version, you will need to download the base game version separately from the single item listing.

    Remember to check the Expansion Pack requirements BEFORE you add custom content to your game!
