Default Object modded to appear in CAW shows with no texture
Hi. I'm working on building a world in CAW and found some amazing looking utility poles. Problem is they are only available in buy mode so I can't place them around the world. I was able to mod it to appear in CAW but there is no texture on it, it just looks orange. I also tried to edit the package to make it appear in landmarks in edit town in game but wasn't successful even though I followed couple of tutorials I found here. I used S3PE but it still doesn't show. Then I tried using S3OC but I'm not able to check the box 'visible in world builder'. If anyone knows how to do this or would be so nice to make it work and upload it, it would be much appreciated.

This is the download link.

Oh my goodness...we had the exact same problem with the exact same CC a few months apart. I couldn't get the pole to not be orange by default, but I did manage to get it to be properly recolorable. I don't know the CC etiquette on doing that, however. I tried to send CycloneSue a message, but TSR will not let me stay logged in long enough to send a private message no matter what I do.

If you're still around and wanting to use this utility poll in your world, here is my thread with descriptions of a partial fix: https://modthesims.info/showthread....7&goto=lastpost

The files are below. As I mentioned, I couldn't get them to not be orange by default, but they are properly recolorable now, with no creepy faces Just place the objects on a lot somewhere, color however you want with CASt, then drag the CASt palette to your off-lot poles, wires, junction boxes, and lamps. It should work both in EIG and in world editor. They will not override Cyclonesue's originals, so you can have both in your game if needed.
