Hey.
So I'm working with the default ceiling plaster white "object". I figured I could just simply clone it, insert the img file that I wanted and poof! In the game, there would be my very own non-default ceiling tile that I can throw up on the ceiling and make everything in the world suddenly nicer. However...in my object cloning naivete, I discovered that I replaced the default "plain white" with my image, and now, whenever I look at my ceiling, I have my image sprawled out all over the ceiling. No more nice default white plaster ceiling with just...one...decorative...image... I'm trying to make it so that the WA/Ambitions ceiling tiles aren't used. (This is a request for someone who doesn't have any expansions...) I figured it'd just be a pattern gig, but when I'd go to recolor the ceiling and add the pattern to a couple select ceiling tiles, I can't recolor it. So, here's the rub. I want to create ceiling tiles that are base game compatible, no expansions required. Is there a way to make the WA/Ambitions ceiling tiles for the base game or a way to clone the default white plaster ceiling and duplicate it as its own separate entity, leaving me the choice of the default or my nice lil' image?
Or am I out of my league here?
Please forgive the, albeit, stupid questions, I know the answer is staring me in the face. I'm just not seeing it. And the search engine is down do to server overload or something, so I couldn't do a proper search. Any information, pointing in the right direction, would be appreciated.
Much thanks!
