Title: where are my friggn paintings?!
Post by: vonhammer on September 03, 2008, 07:57:19 am
OK, so for the past few days i have been trying to get some custom paintings to show up in my game and so far they havent. I've extracted the files that needed it and everything is in the downloads folder.

In the game ive went through and checked each painting to see if the ones i downloaded came up and they didnt! I have latest version of the CEP, and i have all ep's except bon voyage and the galmour life and kitchen and bath stuff packs.

Please help me! This is driving me nuts!

If this will help you or not, I don't know.

But, when I've downloaded paintings, I've always found them under the Maxis ones. IF they are recolors.

Other ones, I make sure I get the mesh.

Check to make sure that you don't have any duplicate copies of CEP anywhere in your game folders.  That can also be a cause as to why some custom paintings are not showing up in your game.  :angel:

It just goes into your Downloads folder like everything else.  In fact, I believe even Numenor mentioned that in the actual post itself.  ;)

Bad news everyone, i checked and re-checked my downloads folder, couldnt find the file mentioned in the FAQ, then re-installed it and started the game, and still no CEP. Why isnt this working? BTW, im running Windows Vista

You have to download the CEP if I'm not mistaken :)
