What You Will Need:<\/u><\/b> Select the image: Select the pattern fill tool: Click the selected part of the image to fill it, and repeat the process for each part of the image you want to recolour with the pattern. You can also recolour the wood parts the same way. Then select the ‘File’ and overwrite option to save the new image: If that option doesn’t show, you need to check your DDS installation as you can find at the top of this tutorial. Open the image you saved, and click ‘Build’: Simple, wasn’t it? <\/div>\n You must be a logged in member to download this file [wpfp-link]\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Edit Post\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Delete Post What You Will Need: SimPE CEP – Required for re-colouring Maxis objects Legacy Nvidia DDS Utilities – Download and install them, just like any Windows program, then start SimPE, select the...<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":32777,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1958],"tags":[2031,1973,2027,2018,1573],"class_list":["post-32778","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-creating","tag-cc","tag-custom-content","tag-recolour","tag-simpe","tag-sims-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.simfansuk.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32778","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.simfansuk.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.simfansuk.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.simfansuk.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.simfansuk.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32778"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.simfansuk.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32778\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.simfansuk.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32777"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.simfansuk.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32778"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.simfansuk.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32778"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.simfansuk.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32778"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

\nSave the file, then save it to your Sims 2 downloads folder:

\nNow fire up your game to see what it looks like:<\/p>\n![\":)\"](\"https:\/\/www.simfansuk.com\/wp\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_smile.gif\"){kind=icon}
Once you get used to the process, you can knock out dozens of re-colours without breaking a sweat! Try it, you won’t regret it!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"Sims](\"https:\/\/simfansuk.com\/wp\/images\/s2\/base.gif\" "\\"Sims")
