If You Make The Game Cloned By 'SC4' or 'Sims Bustin' Out' ect. (Not 'SSX 3') then make another clone but keep it the same and save it into your downloads folder so you can still perchase the game (If You Get What I Mean).

Well, maybe this is a good tutorial for advanced users, but I don't even manage to do Step 1.
In OW (Object Wizard, right?), i don't find the tab "grouped objects". There are several objects groups there, but I don't find one of the games?? :o
Please, can somebody help me?

Nevermind, got it.
Now i'm stuck at Part 2 Step iii... the downloadable file doesnt work on my SimPE. The informations are moved into "UNK", which means "unknown", i think.
My game shows on the counter, and i can click on it at "buy", but that step is missing, so the Game isnt added to my Sim's inventory and he cant play it.
Can someone tell me what exactly to do there?

Mann i followed everything exactly as you said. Everything looked good at the end. The texture image of my game showed up on the rack, but when i send my sim to go buy the game, the rack isn't even clickable. How do i fix that? Its just rack with no interactions..

could it be that on your Part 2 : "Making the object buyable" when i click "Pie Functions" i don't have "Magazine Rack" mine is named "Videogame rack countertop" but i didn't clone the countertop one i cloned the freestanding game rack.

I get stuck in part 2, for some reason, in SimPE's OW, it won't let me pick an item, so I can't pick the rack, or anything. I had the problem before, I figured out how to fix it, but it won't work anymore. How do I fix this?

For people using SimPE 0.68 you will find the video games in "Unknown"

Still cant find the free standing rack though

The SimPE version now is 0.72 and what have shown in this tutorial are different.

Can someone please make another tutorial how to make custom video games like this? I really need to learn how to make one, but I'm having a problem with this tutorial since SimPE is updated and has different GUI.

Please, I really need in this tutorial. I have my own game videos ready. The only thing I need is to make another buyable game and rack.

Hey, just a quick question. Do this work for the sims PC also? And a few pages back, I had a question similar to one of those.

Can the game that I make be modified to up different stats? Like if I made an MMORPG could I alter it to up Social?

When you have this, you can still do everything. just substitue "{install directory}\the sims 2\res\...." with "{install directory}\the sims 2 deluxe\ base..." you see, base is the base game folder. EP2 is the nightlife folder, which you might guess is the second expansion pack for the game. if you need to install something in the nightlife folder, just go to EP2 instead. if you have double deluxe like me, then replace "deluxe" with "double deluxe" and use "SP4" for celebration stuff pack.

and i also have a problem.

How do you modify the .ini file? My computer tells me that the filename is incorrect when I try to overwrite it. I'm not trying to make new games but simply put new games to play instead of the default ones. I've already resized the new files to 128x128 and changed the framerate to 15 fps, but the game still plays the .movie files instead of the .avi files I have in the custom folder. I know this thread is old but hopefully someone will be able to help.

Okay, I managed to overwrite the .ini file but to no avail, as the screen on the Sim TV just shows that red X on white background with "vgs_ssx" etc. over it when trying to play the ssx game (which I substituted with another game via .avi files). I had no problem getting custom TV shows and music to work, but for whatever reason it seems impossible to get custom video games to work in place of the original .movie files.

As HugeLunatic already explained to you, this is not the right place to make requests. In fact, MTS doesn't have anywhere for people to post requests.

If you want to find out whether something already exists, ask in the WCIF forum. If you want to find someone to make something for you, check out our list of creators who are willing to consider requests. DO NOT post requests in this thread; instead, read and follow the rules in the first post.

So, I'm trying to make a new buyable videogame in the sims 2 called Battlefield 2, but I don't know how to get the earlier version of SimPE so I don't know how to make it.
