Hi. I read over Cinderellimouse's thread but I didn't get all the answers I needed. I'm trying to create some more custom ingredients but I want to link to preexisting maxis meshes. The one I am currently working on but don't plan to stop at is a store mesh. Where do I find the model name I put into the xml code? I noticed the resourcename of the modl in the purple eggplant package is different from the model name given in the xml file which is why I am asking. Also what is the prefix path for the stbl guid pre hexing? Like say I gave the ingredient the Ingredient_Key "Flour" what is the text I put before "Flour" before hashing in my stbl? I searched everywhere and couldn't find answers to those questions so if someone could help that would be nice. I'm using Sim3PE and a text editor for all of this if I need some more programs please let me know that too thanks.

Use the modelname in the EA's mesh. I did make custom food but If irgot the STBL key. And you have the necessary ingredients already. Good luck

Thank you for your response. I got the models working now all I need to do is figure out the correct stbl key. I now have a bunch of working ingredients with missing strings >.<

For Ingredients - Gameplay/Excel/Ingredients/Data:Ingredient Name

Thank you. Do you know of a list of the different keys available online for future reference on other projects? That would be quite helpful.

I could not find any list but NRaas Untranslated Key can be helpful.

Mind you, UntranslatedKey makes script errors logged often and should only be used for testing and modding. They make ingame blue screens pop up and give me surprise all the time (hate blue screens myself)

Yes, you should only use untranslated key for testing.It is not for regular gameplay!
