Hello Emre
Sorry that there seems to be a problem for you - perhaps there was a glitch at the time when you tried to download?
Were you signed in?
It should make no difference though.
I would just ask you to try and download again.
I will also sign out and see what happens when I try to download (as a guest) and update you.

Update: I downloaded as a guest and no issue with the actual download. However, the download info stated zero files have been downloaded.
Conclusion is that I think some part of the website might be getting worked on at the moment.

Hello greywolf3
Thank you for your comment.
I am hoping to upload more of the Dream Home Decorator Kit in the week ahead (in between my Christmas shopping), so hope you will enjoy them too.

Hey! I love the set, thanks for the conversion!
However, is there a chance you could make the furniture work with the quartertileplacement cheat? It's a must-have for my builds on Sims 2 and I was a bit disappointed that I can't place these objects wherever I'd like.

Hello LimeyYoshi
Thank you for your comment.



May I assume, you have Mansion & Gardens installed, have entered the cheat in the cheatbox and attempted to place the object?
Is it possible you may have inadvertently used Control + F might and turned off the cheat?
Creators don't do anything to make this cheat work; all objects have to be cloned from Sims2 objects.

I think Honeywell has a 45 degree chair mod (that I think works for other objects too) which might be able to help.

Actually creators do. There is a flag that needs to be set to true/false in the OBJD for this cheat to work, many non M&G game objects do not have this flag set. https://hugelunatic.com/mg-quartertile-cheat/

Hello HugeLunatic
Thank you for this information (I was unaware of) and for this link.

At the current time, I am playing a simpler game of Sims2 with only a few expansion packs - Uni, Night Life, OFB and Glamour Life and loving it.
I had to uninstall all my Sims2 expansion and stuff packs after updating games files in the 'C' drive to play with what is called a clean neighbourhood - wiped my favourite neighbourhoods i.e. no Pleasantview, Strangetown and Veronaville. but that is another story.
May I assume that as I do not have Mansion & Gardens installed, I would not be able to do this anyway?
However I still will check it out and go into SimPE later and see if I am able to change anything. Is this only applicable to wall hangings?

Update: I do not have this facility in SimPE.


Also is there somewhere to find out when changes are made to SimPE?
I have not changed my version - 0.72 since starting to use it back in 2020.

@Ladysimplayer8 - yes, I have M&G, the whole collection in fact, and no, the cheat is definitely not off as I can move other objects in quarter-tile increments just fine. Just not this furniture set.
Thanks for the hint to the mod, though - I did not have this in my game yet. This'll be very useful for me.

I was not aware you were not playing with a full game or an up-to-date SimPE - this makes sense then. Thanks for the insight.

I don't think there is an easy way to check for SimPE updates as Chris_Hatch, the person in charge of maintaining SimPE at the moment, releases new versions in a rather hidden manner. The latest version that the official SimPE preservation thread (which you can reach by clicking on the name of the app wherever it's mentioned) points to is 0.77.69, released just a couple of months ago.
I have 0.75.69, will update shortly (cause I only just found out about the new version when looking for a link to the thread). 0.75.69 already contains the flag that controls whether to block quartertileplacement usage or not. I would assume that 0.72 does not have it, as according to the link provided by @HugeLunatic , the flag was then still associated with the sale price of an item - incorrectly, probably.

Follow the auto generated link for simpe, it links to a thread with multiple versions available. The lower half of the page on my blog shows which values to change, and to what, if you have an older version of simpe. You can still enable this for M&G users even if you do not have it installed. It does nothing in older EPs.

Hello LimeyYoshi
Thank you for all this additional information.
Previously with the exceptions of Pets, I had all other Expansion/Stuff Packs installed so I have taken this for granted as I never encountered an issue from anyone.
Certainly no intention to block anyone from using the quarter tile cheat - quite partial to using snap objects to grid cheat myself and the 45 degree chair angle.
I think I will try and reinstall all the expansion/stuff packs plus download the latest SimPE version. Then I can look at updating all the objects from this set.

Hello @Design4ever2019
Thank you for your comment and your timing was impeccable.

Last week, I inadvertently placed a small download set in my Sims Life Stories folder and found the game will accept downloads using base game items.
So (thinking cap on) about what other sets I could use, then your comment on this thread - perfect - just the kind of small set I was looking for.

To make the sets laptop friendly, I had to select only 5/6 recolors and update the items, and whilst doing this I discovered the Partly Open Storage Space had an error that had went undetected - the two book options should be 2 shelves of books and the other with, top shelf of books and the bottom with toys - so this has been fixed and I will be update the zip.files shortly.

You may wish to replace this object with the new Partly Open Storage Space zip.file.

Have a nice week ahead!
