Excellent tutorial, Gayle! I always use UV Mapper Pro when recoloring, especially for slaved objects and doing single bedding. Being able to see the texture on the object makes a world of difference!

Thanks Kate  :

Also good if you making several recolour sets - you can pre-prepare all the pngs and then churn out all the simpe recolour packages in seconds afterwards lol

Thank you, Gayle!  You make it sound easy.   Do you happen to have any tips on the overlay method in Photoshop?

Oh I am so glad! I am totally rubbish at writing tutes, and yours are always so easy to follow! Thanks Gayle!

Pam, I will still look at those 2 meshes...

  Gayle to the rescue again!  Thank you!  (We need a trumpeting smiley, dang it!)  Would I be pushing my luck if I requested making the crib bedding in this set pull Maxis textures?    I tried the repository technique on something else and crashed my game.

Thank you, too, Issy!

Sorry about the double post, but I finally did it!!!  I linked the crib in this set to Maxis crib bedding, without crashing my game!    Now when I recolor it, no one's Downloads folder will be stuffed too badly.  I just need to find another tut for changing GUIDs.

A couple questions:  Is the repository technique basically the same for two custom objects?  And would it be better to link the crib frame to the single bed frame, or vice versa?

I took a look at these 2 objects. No matter how you wan't to do it you will need to remap if you want to keep 2 wood colors, because the textures for the two objects are not similar.

If you want only one wood color then I would recommend slaving to SDA dresser chambre. There is already a lot of objects slaved to that wood and there is a lot of available recolors - among others all the 64 Amystefinix ones, a lot in my folder and a lot from engelchen at All4Sims as well. That will definately save a lot of work for you and a lot of space in your folders as well.

If you need help with the remapping anyway, just ask me for help.

Kind regards, Helle
