It doesn't work for me. well shit!

EDIT: It seems like anything that changes the TXMT (or something) doesn't work on my end, this could be due Sims 2 Mac Super Collection that mac doesnt read TXMTs properly or something.. since it does work fine on windows.. bummer! great mod though <3

This doesn't work for me at all. I've tried taking out my mods folder but nothing changed. This does go in the Downloads folder right? I'm playing with Ultimate Collection on Windows.

@SimsBoyPL and @cookietheinnocent , very sorry for not seeing your comments earlier (and Cookie, thanks for giving me a nudge)! And sorry to hear this isn't working for you.

@SimsBoyPL Glad you (might) have found the reason. I'm on Windows, so I'm afraid I can't do anything for Mac users (but I'm guessing you guys are used to being on your own).

@cookietheinnocent Yes, this goes into the Downloads folder. It doesn't sound like there is a conflict, since you say it still doesn't work when you take out your mods folder (the only mods it would conflict with are others that also change the computer TXMTs). All I can think of is that it might be something to do with the UC, but unfortunately I don't have it installed (I play the game from disc), so I can't check (or fix) this myself. Very sorry.

I'm just no help at all, am I?

Hi, just wondering which TXMT was changed? I've got a computer with a custom screen that is not affected by this mod and want to know what to input to do the same as you did.

@TwoFingersWhiskey sorry for the late reply! It's been a while since I've been on here.

In the TXMT, I changed the stdMatTextureCoordAnimMode value from "none" to "tile". (And that was all I changed, I didn't touch any of the other animation properties - or any others, for that matter.) Just don't tell anybody it was that simple.
