Thanks for this, I never knew there was an adult use house. Will this still take the recolors for the original version? (:

You're welcome! The original one wasn't recolorable if I understood it right, that's why SnowStorm created a recolorable version and that one is included in my default replacement. So I think the answer to your question is yes, although I haven't tried it out myself yet! :-) see HugeLunatic's answer, don't listen to me lol!
Me? Sarcastic? Never.

The SnowStorm version says a unique GUID, so it is standalone from the game version, which is not recolorable without the CEP by gdayers. http://www.modthesims.info/d/602223...-cep-extra.html. Recolors of the dollhouse with the CEP may be wonky due to the mesh being remapped. After a quick peek, I don't see anything in this from SnowStorm's package as these are just resources from the original dollhouse.

Edit: This mod alone does not make the dollhouse recolorable, so obviously no recolors will work for it. You need the CEP by gdayers, then any recolors made after installing that CEP will work with this better mapped mesh.

Ohh my bad! I've been so confused with all the different downloads for this (I thought since SnowStorm's package was included it would make the dollhouse recolorable) I should update my description!

I already had gdayers CEP and Michelle's fixed mesh. I guess my question should have been whether or not Michelle's recolors would work. (:

Great! I think they should? Although I haven't tested it out :-) again, don't listen to me lol! I tried these and they didn't show up, but that can be fixed by following HugeLunatic's short tutorial here.

Sadly no, but you can fix them with a bit of copy/paste. https://hugelunatic.com/?p=862 Threw this up while I fixed a couple I wanted.

Thanks for this replacement! I've been meaning to make one myself but just haven't gotten there. Just for fun, you don't actually need the resource for TXMT or the GMDC for the shadow.

Ahh wait now I understand! My download doesn't include SnowStorms' recolorable dollhouse after all (yeah I know HugeLunatic said that in like the second comment but I'm stupid and didn't understand lol), dharden's default replacement doesn't include Snowstorms' dollhouse, they just transferred Michelle's remapped mesh onto the EA dollhouse (since gdayar released the CEP-extra). I'll update my text again haha

Thank you for the little tutorial (Also, you're welcome!)

Ahh I see, I used dharden's default replacement (I just replaced the texture and included rebecah's edits) I didn't dare touching anything - I always screw things up by doing that hah! Thank you for letting me know, though.

I used a replacement TXMT in that default because Michelle tweaked the TXMT when she made her remapped/cleaned-up version. The only way to have the default look just the same as Michelle's version was to use her TXMT as well as her texture. I'm pretty sure the changes she made were how she made the roof less shiny, but TXMT-tweaking on that level is her pidgin, not mine!

Ahh! Good thing I didn't touch anything then! :-D

You guys are all saying different things, and though I'm a fairly intelligent person, and spent quite a little while checking each different version you've all mentioned, it's still rather confusing.

It sounds to me like this is a retextured (vegan_kaktus) adult-enabled (Beck) defaulted (dharden) remapped (Michelle) version of the Maxis dollhouse that we need gdayars CEP to make recolorable. Although Snowstorm was the first to make a recolorable version of the dollhouse and Michelle used it and kept its GUID for her remapped version, this is not Snowstorm's because, essentially, dharden changed Michelle's, rather than Snowstorm's, to the default.... Is this right?

If so, I still don't really understand if the recolors using the CEP will really match Michelle's mapping. Can you clarify that?

@Sunrader I'm so sorry for all the confusion! Yes, what you are saying is completely right (if I understood it correctly, too) I tried these recolors by michelle in my game (with my default replacement installed and gdayars CEP-extra) but they didn't work sadly, so I believe you have to follow HugeLunatic's short tutorial here for them to show up when using my default replacement and gdayars CEP-extra. Hope it's a bit clearer now!
