Does anyone know where the Butterfly Pavilion is located in the FullBuild packages? I'm having trouble locating it since I only just realised that the Landgraab Industries Science Dome doesn't function identically to the Butterfly Pavilion. And since both objects are the same size and shape, I'm trying to make them both function the same. The Butterfly Pavilion allows Sims to walk underneath, whereas the Landgraab Industries Science Dome does not. I've managed to locate the Landgraab Industries Science Dome with S3PE.

But I need to be able to locate the Butterfly Pavilion so that I can compare the flags for both objects and verify what's preventing Sims from being able to walk underneath the Landgraab Industries Science Dome. The reason why I replaced the Butterfly Pavilion with the Landgraab Industries Science Dome is because I'm in the process of making Bridgeport look more like Mount Maunganui. And I felt that the colour palette for the Landgraab Industries Science Dome was more Mount Maunganui-esque than the colour palette for the Butterfly Pavilion.

If you want only to recolor the pavilion, it's better to make a default replacement recolor. Follow this tutorial : https://modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=579498

The recolor could be made for this object, that exist in this particular world by importing the original images into the world file and replace them with your desired recolor. Now you can make other recolor to other objects for your world only.

You could clone the science dome via Sims 3 Object Cloner (aka s3oc).

But if don't want to clone the whole object:

1) The images for the butterfly pavilion are in Late Night's FullBuild (FullBuild_p06) under the name "pavilion". Other files are in DeltaBuild_p06

2) Some files for the science dome are in FullBuild0 under the name "scienceDome". The rest of the resources are in FullBuild2 under the same name

I've managed to export the Pavilion – I forgot that I had to search within the Late Night package – but I forgot how to access their details. So I haven't been able to figure out how to change the flags for the Science Dome so they are consistent with the Pavilion.

Edit:

Oh, here we go. I might be able to do it. I forgot that I needed to export the OBJD file.

Edit:

It's so much work though. I'm having trouble figuring out which area in the grid I need to modify in order for them to function the same way.

Modifying the dome OBJD/OBJK to match the functionality of the pavilion also works.

It doesn't have to work only in Bridgeport. It can work anywhere. Since the last time I checked, there are only pros to modifying the data, not cons.

If I'm going to create a duplicate of the Butterfly Pavilion, how do I do that? I've decided I'd rather just create a separate version of the Pavilion that's physically identical to the Landgraab Industries Science Dome, but only because I've been having difficulty trying to modify the way the Landgraab Industries Science Dome functions.

Take a look at post #2 on this thread.

I don't want to make it as a default replacement though. I want to create a separate version that combines the appearance of the Landgraab Industries Science Dome with the functionality of the Butterfly Pavilion.

Then try this:

If you change only the footprint of the science dome to be the same as pavilion's footprint that would be enought to make the area beneath the science dome routable, all done again with default replacement. Making new object is not necessery.

The footprint resource is FTPT.
Create a new package file when exporting science dome's FTPT from FullBuild0. In the newly created override package replace the FTPT resource with the exported footprint file from the pavilion files (FullBuild_p06). Save it, place it in Mods folder and you're done - now you got an walkable area beneath the science dome the easiest way without creating new object.

I've made this for myself and it's working!
