Hi Pokedude9777

Just want to know. When I do the upload for the lots and a messages appears.

Like contains unused recolors. I have to install and there is 4 subject.

1: Select all files.
2: Select lot file only.
3: Select lot and family.
4: Select all files except for hacks.

My upload for the lot there is no Sims family and no hacks.

I have to select no.2 then saved the file and after put on winrar.

Then I send for the upload just my file only.

I going to try it.

Thank you.

If you just select your lot file then it will not include ANY of the required custom content - that is not what you want! You just need to remove any recolours that you haven't used.

You need to go in and uncheck the individual items that do not need to be included. The game will pack custom objects with ALL recolours for them, not just the ones you have used in your actual lot. You DO want to include the mesh and any recolours you've used, but leave out any you haven't used. You will have to go through and think about which you have used, and uncheck any you haven't. Then save your file with a new filename.

Hi HystericalParoxysm.

Okay. Please help me out if I'm correct.

I'm using Sims2Pack and I open.

Then there is names and types.

The names: For peoples did custom contents.

Types: There is Objet Recolors and there is Games Object.

I have to uncheck the Object Recolors on every boxes

Keeping Games Object check all the boxes.

Then I saved it and ready for uploads.

Please let me know if this is right to do it.

Thank you.

Uncheck any Object Recolours that are -not- used in your lot. If you HAVE used an object recolour on your lot, leave it checked so it will be included.

Make sure to save your edited file with a NEW name - don't overwrite the old file.

Okay I open Sims2Pack then I uncheck any Object Recolours on all boxes.

What about Game Object, should I keep it all check.

Thank you

DON'T uncheck boxes for recolours and meshes you have actually used in your lot. ONLY uncheck the boxes for things you haven't used in your lot.

Okay if I'm not using Sims2pack.

Thank you

If I'm understanding you right, you want to know how to remove unwanted recolours WITHOUT Clean Installer? In that case, I'd remove everything in your downloads folder that wasnt used. This might be alot harder, and ultimately you should justlearn to use Clean Installer properly.

[Asner20051]

Pokedude9777 thanks.
For Sims2pack I need to learn about it.
If I removed my Sims 2/ download folder. There will be no custom content at all.

Anyway Pokedude9777 I did few changes on my residential. Then going for the upload.

Now I have to wait for my approval or rejection.

Thanks.

[pokedude9777]

Good luck with that then! :)

Pokedude was suggesting to remove the unused custom content only; however, I think that the best way (not only regarding the custom content) to create a lot is creating a clean mini.game with the AnyGameStarter, including only the expansions really needed for your project; and put in the mini-game Downloads only the stuff that you plan to use in your lot.

Hi Numenor

I will try the AnyGameStarter and thank you.

Ya know, I had a look on the site map and there's a forum for Clean Installer!You could perhaps ask your questions there, as it seems that you are having some trouble with Clean Installer.

Hopefully that should help you. :)
