Looks good with the extra features, but I'd like to have seen an extra selection of games and magazines with it. I have downloaded a couple of video game and magazine racks before.

Love this, but I am having trouble. I added the CEPs to their respective folders, loaded SimPE, and made a recolor of the magazine rack. In game, I see two subsets for the magazine rack, but I don't have any magazine recolors. Did I do something wrong? I did test by taking EVERYTHING else out of my game (including other CEPs), leaving just the magazine recolor and your new CEPs, but still had the same issue.
Me? Sarcastic? Never.

I don't do a lot of recolors, you should use WCIF to find recolors of the counter display game rack for recolors of the games on the game racks. As for magazine recolors, they don't exist yet as it wasn't recolorable before.

This shouldn't conflict with other CEPs, I have all of them plus a bunch more of my own. I would say make sure you have installed each to the proper folder and make sure that SimPE is reading the CEP extra folders and they load after the original CEP files in the file table.

Thanks so much! I made my SimPE preferences match the picture you linked and now it's loading all the subsets from the CEP.

With the CEP-Extras installed at the locations you provided, both the large game racks switch to displaying only the base game games without an option to change it. I don't really want to get other sets of game racks because I have default replacements for the vanilla game cases and wanted to keep these. Is there a chance I can bring them back when these mods are in?

I also got strange Hit Break Point Primitive object errors using the racks after putting the CEP-Extras in, but I can't reproduce these anymore, looks like they vanished. All I remember is they happened when I closed the dialogue that lets you pick a game to purchase.

@LimeyYoshi - The FT texture is gone because it is no longer referenced. You no longer need defaults for the FT game rack since it is repo'd to the base game one. What you want is the texture from the FT rack made as recolor on the base game rack. I've added it to this download since I had already made it. And you would want the same with the FT defaults you have, make them as recolors for base game rack.

As for the Hit Break Point, there isn't anything in the CEP that should cause that.

@HugeLunatic - that's lovely of you, thank you! This is just what I needed. Thanks for including the countertop rack, too!!
I'll get to work on making the default replacements show up again with the new setup. Should be as simple as dropping the replacement TXTR into the recolour you provided...

Yeah, as I said, they weren't happening anymore after. It may have been a WIP mod of mine causing it, which I've since finished.
