Hello! Gosh, I’m pretty bad at explaining things, but I’ll try. :3 When an item is repositoried, it takes its texture from another item that’s already in the game. For example, many cc creators make the same piece of clothing for different age groups. In order to save space/make smaller file sizes, they will often link the textures to a single age group (which is referred to as “repositoried” or “texture-referenced”). A TF outfit that is repositoried to the AF outfit will take its textures from the AF outfit – that means the AF outfit must be in the game for the textures on the TF outfit to show up. As another example, whattheskell has a massive Maxis repository project going that repositories age conversions, gender conversions, add-ons, separates, etc., to their Maxis counterparts to save space. And space, as we all know, is a valuable thing for our games – it means room for more custom content. 😀

I hope that makes a little bit of sense! I’m not the best at explaining things (even less so when I know how the repository-ing actually works XD) but hopefully this helps. I’m sure there are other simmers out there who have explained it way better than I could. XD

Hi hi friend! The secret is camera-man mode, also known as the “tab” key! Click up to the highest floor, then press the “tab” key – from here, you can use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move up and down without going down to a lower floor. This nifty keyboard chart shows you all the camera controls, you can get some really great angles by playing around in camera-man mode. 🙂 Hope this helps!

Oh wow, thank you so much, anon! This is such a sweet message! I’m quite sure I’ve been reduced to a mere puddle under my computer desk. :’D *hugs you forever*

For the dormitory roof, I used the roof pieces that came with Apartment Life (found in Build Mode under the “Architecture” tab). You place them like regular objects – much easier than fiddling with that dang roofing tool, in my opinion. XD There are also some really neat add-ons here (for both the AL and M&G roofs) that let you create some really unique roof shapes. 😀 Hope that helps! And thank you again!! ❤ 

Coming right up! 🙂

I’ll see what I can do! I’m off on Thursday and the weather is supposed to be crappy, so I’m hoping to make it a TS2 day – maybe I can put a little something up for download. 😀

I suppose I could upload the apartment complex if no one minds the routing failures and other problems I mentioned here. D: *adds to list*
