Castaways Custom Walls
DevilishCherry:
I'm having the weirdest problem with custom Walls. I've tried stuff made straight from Homecrafter hoping that since its not a clone or recolor of a Wall it would work, and I still get this issue. Was hoping someone knew of a fix or which Walls are compatible, or if it's even possible to have custom Walls. Attached a screenie below of the issue I get.

Homecrafter works ONLY for TS2 - not for Castaway or Life Stories. If you made custom walls, search for the files' name in TS2, copy them, and:
1) Enable custom content in Castaway in the Control Panel. Exit the game, and return.
2) Create a Downloads folder in C:/My Documents/Electronic Arts (it's not EA Games)/Castaway
3) Open in Downloads folder a sub-folder, name it Walls (case sensitive).
4) Copy the walls files you made and found in TS2, and paste them in the Walls sub-folder.
Hope it works.

Usually I don't bother with walls and floors, but I tried it for you, and it works. I enterred my TS2 Walls folder, copied random several walls, and pasted them in the Downloads folder, in a sub-folder named Walls (case sensitive).
The first and the second walls in the panel are mine (50$?! - it adds environment points, lol), and they are seen fine on the walls of the house.

Thanks so much for trying to help me ^.^... Still not working though, tried all the methods mentioned above as well as trying to place the custom Walls in the Overrides folder, and I still get the same error. Am I maybe missing a file or something, even tried reinstalling and no luck.
gali:
Cherry, do you try to override the original walls? That is not permitted in any Sims game. Custom walls are only added, and are pasted in the Downloads folder.
Better save the whole present Castaway folder in another place (I hold it in driver D), reinstall the game, copy the original Walls folder from the reinstalled game, and Override folder too, and paste them in your saved Castaway folder.
(I have 4-5 saved Castaway folders in driver D, and can play different characters, when I am bored).
Now copy the Castaway folder, and paste it instead the original reinstalled game. Allow custom content, exit.
Copy/paste the old Downloads folder on your desktop, to keep the rest downloads, delete the Downloads folder, create a new one, and move to it the rest downloads you have. Now you can paste some TS2 walls/floors.
Don't forget to restart your computer, because Castaway has Securom, and won't be loaded, after you change folders in the game.
Enter the "borked" lot, replace the walls to original ones, then use the custom walls.
It should work (I hope).
