Extracting EPs objects

[treeag]

So I'm planning to uninstall university, but I want four objects from it, the pool table, communal shower, the sprinkler, and the bubble blower. It's for my personal use, I take it it's ok?

If it is, I got a few question for you, because I'm stoopid. I extracted the objects, and ran into a few problems. The pool table works fine, I cloned the cue and stuff along with the table, but for the others, I'm stumped.

First, the communal shower. It works fine, except that there's no water coming out of it. No steam either. The sim took a shower and their hygiene goes up, but no water visible.

Same happened with the sprinkler, when a sim pull a prank, they pull out a lighter out of their butt but there's no flame. Water puddles will form on the floor and the sim will cover their head but there's no water visible.

Third, the bubble blower. I cloned it and I only got the tower without the pillows, and it throws an error whenever a sim tries to use it. Obviously I'm missing something important here, but I can't figure out what.

Now I found out that Inge has the communal shower up at her site, I might just use that instead, but I'm curious as to what did I do wrong, and how to properly clone a shower/sprinkler/whatever that has something to do with the water/fire/any effects. Any help is much appreciated and sorry to bother you all with my stupidity :help:

Thanks in advance.

When you clone an object, the resulting package does NOT contain everything: the clone is supposed to rely on the common resources ofered by the expansion it was extracted from. For examples, the clone won't contain the effects (such as the shower water or the lighter flame), or the semiglobals (i.e. all the common BHAVs used by a specific type of objects), and so forth. If you try including all these elements in your clone, you will end up replicating the EP that you want to exclude, so it would be pointless.

*facepalm* Ok. So, can you pull the shower water effects from the base game shower? Are they different? Or I just have to forget about them? :P .

Thanks for replying, by the way :D .
