Sims 2
Default Community lot editing problems
Dear ModTheSims!
I'm in possession of the Sims 2 base game,and I did not install any of the expansion packs.
Recently I have been ceating a new neighbourhood, and I started building houses,which went fine. Then I started building community lots,like a Park,a Shop,etc. When building these I have noticed the limitations the community lot's buy mode has. With a cheat I have gain access to a few of the electronic objects that were locked,like the Television. Sadly that is not enough for me. I wanted to builda church and a library aswell,but I can't find the piano,and the bookshelves anywhere. Is there some kind of a cheat tounlock specifically those,or do I need expension packs for that matter?
ps. I've used the rbbb cheat

Yours,sincerely Raphael Sorel

Welcome. Don't know what the rbbb cheat is, but the easiest way to gain access to residential items is to change the the lots zoning-if it's available with just the base game. Put Changelotzoning Residential in the cheat window, save and reload. Place the items and zone it back.

If you can't change zoning since you only have the base game and if you don't want to install EPs, then the only way I'm aware of to do it is to fiddle with things in SimPE. Since we're talking about Maxis objects here (at least, so I assume), you'd need to make a "patch" for each of the objects you want to make available on community lots. To do this, you could begin to follow the tutorial I wrote up here: http://dramallamadingdang.tumblr.co...4/tutorial-time When you get to Step 7 of that, you'd delete everything except the Object Data (OBJD) rather than the TTAB. From that point, you'd no longer need the tutorial I wrote up and would then follow this tutorial: http://modthesims.info/t/95838

I'm mostly found on (and mostly upload to) Tumblr these days because, alas, there are only 24 hours in a day.
