Default Attn. object creators: 64bit instances ought to be working now! (1.10)

This means we do *not* need the workaround of using "short" instances (starting with 0x00000000) now any more, thankfully -- older custom content should now Just Work with the design tool too.

That´s great! And it means, unless TSRW is changed we have to edit the COBJs/OBJDs manually the other way round.

Or use the *mumblemumble*.172 version, which still does the long ones. (I never figured out what the difference was between that and .195 anyway)

Yes, but the *mumblemumble* version does not clone the swatches, I guess. Which is deadly if you have a set of 40 objects with each 50 recolors, all using the same textures. For me, this is the main difference.
And I hope they re-include the "Add" button in the materials soon. Since version *humblebumble* it´s grayed out, what a mess.

Anyone else still having problems with 64-bit instance IDs? I posted a follow-up to the EA link pbox posted above, but basically it looks like the high bit must be clear or else the OBJD will fail to load. The COBJ appears to load fine, but the OBJD throws an exception that it can't be found and the bb catalog shows the item with a red X.

Hm, I haven't had any issues yet .. you mean that e.g. 0x44EC942469DBBB3D works but 0xC4EC942469DBBB3D does not, yes? If you look at http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=549271 the instances are all 0xFBF4CE1EEBA9DBBA and similar, works fine for me.

Does this maybe depend on whether or not the group has the high bit set? In the upload I cited, the groups are all 0x80000000. Check that you don't accidentially have different group instances in COBJ and OBJD, as well.

Using group 0x80000000 instead of 0x00000000 fixed the issue, thanks! Important safety tip
