Default Trying to recolor "That Place Over There"
Hello,

I am trying to recolor the painting "That Place Over There" from the Nightlife expansion pack. I recently downloaded the CEP Extra for it from Hafsezle's site.

I can color the picture part of it fine, but SimPE doesn't offer me a subset for the frame. I attempted making a recolor that changed both the picture and the frame color just to see what would happen. The picture is available in the game with the old frame color. I reinstalled CEP today and it's still happening. I do have the document and program files for the extras in the correct directory, I double checked.

Any idea why this is happening and how to fix it?

Not sure how I'd check that, but this is the dialog box I'm getting in SimPE 8. It's like it knows there should be a subset at least, but if I click "frame" it doesn't create the recolor file.

Try checking the load order!

CEP is checked to load in the file table and it seems to work fine for the files I had in there previously

CEP checked is not the same as load order that vegan_kaktus asked about. I suspect something is amiss with your version as it pulls both subsets properly in v69.11. I even checked hafi's original to make sure I hadn't edited that one.

Can you show your settings so we can see load order.

Any assistance is appreciated

Use the arrows on the side to move the CEP extra folders above the CEP files. This way CEP extras that alter things already in the CEP it will read those last. Also, do you have any sweet down low meshes? As those might also be editing the same resources.
