the first one is about the color wheel and how to color different areas of an object for example whenever I change the color of the top of a dive bar the base of the bar color does not change even if I click on that part of the bar separately to try to recolor it? and I have a lot of the similar color challenges with all sorts of other objects in game as well yet I have noticed many other players using the same objects have had all areas the same color or different patterns around one single object and I would like to learn how to do that..My second question is about base camps I am wondering if base camps are normally added added in the CAW stage of a custom world when creating them and changing them in a normal game is not possible due to the designation somehow? so for example if empty lots are showing as a base camps in a custom world when I add a building to that lot will it automatically function as a base camp? If not can anyone explain how to make any lot into a base camp as I would be grateful for that info too.. My last question has to do with world objects in game I am almost sure when I was adding lots and touches to a custom world (not in CAW) some time ago that I remember being able to add some world objects around other already placed lots so for example I would add a few trees benches picnic tables and chairs etc and for the life of me I cannot find out how I did it unless I was working on an actual lot and have forgotten that but i am almost positive I was able to add some world objects around lots in game if anyone can also let me know how to do that? Thanks in advance everyone :)

Each objects like clothing has seperate zones some have four.A couch for example could have A frame wooden or metalCushionsAccent pillowsAnd a trim line that may run along top of cushionsAll are different Some objects just have one zone like a plastic patio chair can only be colored one way.But if you want a same color in another zone without having to match it up drag that areas color zone circle to any part you want.https://i.imgur.com/BDXGW9T.pngSee the tiny circles and the squares on left each area a different zone same on objects and you can click drag and drop colors you like instead of trying to remember the colorhttps://i.imgur.com/biiwPbf.jpgThe object has 2 areas that can be changed,the R and G only the other B and A are slashed out meaning 2 options only Hope I understood your question right.

@CravenLestat You are going to think I am mad but in all the years I have been playing this game I have never taken any notice of those circles you outline in your CAS pic haha as I have mainly just changed clothes colors (and saved them to use later) and occasionally I have wanted to change object colors but stopped doing it so much when I found I was only be able to change one color area and not any others to match..Boy am I going to have some fun with this now as I have so much catching up to do thank you so very much! :)

You are welcome @SPARKY1922 And created patterns by players can be changed colors too just by spinning the cursor on color wheel to every spotExample a snakeskin pattern I madehttps://i.imgur.com/oJipPlA.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/Wj6H3al.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/DjDywfJ.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/FRwUnSU.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/wQAKb9j.pngSo every created pattern is actually like 100s so just say you see a blue dress pattern with pink flowers in my studio it is actually also a pink dress a red dress a black and white a yellow dress a purple dress etc and the flowers change tooAnother quick example my sequinBut but you hate purple...https://i.imgur.com/9l1APIS.pngIt's ok cause its also goldhttps://i.imgur.com/RbWibpK.pngAnd rubyhttps://i.imgur.com/JYPIeKU.pngand..........................

@CravenLestat As always your sim women are beautiful and impeccably dressed I also love vibrant colors so purple is fine :)

Regarding base camp lots, if you select it in Edit Town and choose "build," you will see that it has a base camp bulletin board. That automatically appears on the lot when it is designated as a base camp, just as the check-in desk is automatically placed when a lot is designated as an IP resort. With most lots, so long as it's designated as a community lot, you can put any community lot on it, and the lot will be changed to whatever the pre-made community lot is. So if you have a lot designated as a big park, you can put it on a lot that is designated as gym, for example, and the lot will become a big park lot. I've never tried putting something else on a vacant base camp lot, so I don't know from experience, but it would probably work the same way. If it weren't going to, you would just not be able to place a different kind of community lot on it. If that were the case, and you want to put something else there, you could change the lot type, and the base camp bulletin board would disappear. Then you could place your lot. On the other hand, if you want a base camp and you don't already have a lot designated as a base camp, just choose a lot and change it to a base camp. Then you can build your own. It doesn't have to actually have anything other than the bulletin board on it for tourists to use it as a base camp, and residents to hang out there, so you can put as little or as much on it as you want. Regarding adding world items, when you go into Edit Town, there's a symbol on the control panel to the left of the bulldozer, that looks like a piece of paper and a pen. That takes you into the World Editor, where you can add and remove items in the world space around and between lots, or anywhere else on the map other than lots.

A few questions I keep meaning to ask-)

The Base Camp EP11 designation is for the ITF Community/Visitors Center. Different versions of different NRaas mods have tried to fix that so it says something less cryptic, like I don't know maybe ITF Community Center, but some of them made it worse -- there will be two entries that say "Base Camp," but only one of them is the WA Base Camp. We think we have that solved now with the version of Traveler that is currently in beta testing. :)

Hi @Karritz

Thanks for trying this I did not bother because I honestly thought it would not work so from what you are saying there are 2 basecamps to choose from I am assuming from the debug menu community objects? one of them is WA basecamp and the other ITF I will go check this today and see what the results are :)

@igazor

I would imagine in a modern world the ITF bascamp would look lovely however the world I am in at the moment is medieval style so the camp site would be better although I have put a request in with our lovely DNA creative build team because it's a strange size but very worthy of a being basecamp at the location it is in all the same :)

@SPARKY1922 I have updated the video on adding a base camp to make it clear you need Traveler mod to do it.

The video runs for less than 1 minute.

@Karritz @SPARKY1922 It's a mod. I wondered about that when it first came up and so just now went in game to check it out. I don't have any base camp options on my community lots drop down list either.

@SPARKY1922 No, I meant having the option comes from a mod. Wonder if it's Traveler? I only have MC, Error Trap and Overwatch installed right now (well, and Cupcake, but I'm sure that's not relevant LOL).

Hi @suzses

hahaha of course I never thought about that and i have just checked it by adding my Nrass mods back including traveler and it worked :)

Thank you @Karritz also I just never made the connection i was missing a mod required for the basecamp to show up never having made a basecamp before well we live and learn :)

Sorry, I lost track of this thread somehow. But yes, just to confirm, it is Traveler that unlocks the Base Camp selections on lots in Edit Town.

I'm glad you got it all figured out. I've been visiting family out of state, and just got back home tonight. I wanted to make a campground for one of my CAW worlds a couple of years ago, and decided to make it a base camp. I didn't realize that the only reason I could do so was because of Traveler. But it's not so hard to figure out which base camp designation is the correct one. I try one, then choose the lot to edit. If it's the WA base camp, it will have the bulletin board. If it doesn't have that, I just go back into edit town and choose the other one. Once you get it built, you have to use move objects on the put the bulletin board where you want it.

Thank you for that info soon as you mentioned the edit town and paper and pen I remembered how I have done it in the past..-) I will have a go at the base camp and see what happens as I have never really had much to do with meddling with base camps I will come back and let you know what worked.. thank you for your help :)

Hi @Karritz and @IreneSwift

I was hoping to add a building to the basecamp lot (it does have an adventure board) and use that however that does not work so I am assuming I am going to have to build something myself which won't be great but it will be at least functional-) I am aware things can be fiddled around with using the traveler mod but as I have not used that in regards to base camps I don't want to make a mistake at this stage.. I thought when you move sims to another town you could just do that now by the phone or the move to another town notification? I love the traveler mod but have only ever used it to send my sims on vacations not to move them for good..

also does anyone know how I can leave cars and boats on empty residential houses when I am redecorating them prior to moving sims in as I know I used to be able to do that but lately when I try they will not place on the car port or boat trailer?

I have half of cake Island made into a kind of Disney style world that I need to finish as I want to use it as a holiday destination but some many other projects keep getting in the way :)
