Hi, Pizza Box Anon Here! I Figured Out Why Your Pizza Box Default Wasn't Working, It's Because I Have

hi, pizza box anon here! i figured out why your pizza box default wasn't working, it's because i have this hack installed modthesims(.)info/d/145026/buyable-pizza-and-chinese-food(.)html. i really like your default but i also want to be able to conveniently buy pizza straight from the buy mode. is there any way for me to enable that?

Hello again anon! :-D so sorry for my late reply! Oh yes, that explains it, what a relief it wasn’t anything weird going on with my default ( ´༎ຶㅂ༎ຶ`)b

The cloned buyable pizza and chinese box from labine730 have their own textures, which is why it’s not picking up my default. It was a simple fix though, I repositoried it to “foodpizzabox-insideoutside” which is what my default is defaulting, so now it will pick up my default or any other default for the pizza box you might have (and if you use none: EA’s original texture). 

I also enabled it on community lots, edited the catalog (you can find it in both kitchen - appliances and kitchen - general now since I read about people having problems finding it). It has the same GUID as the original pizza box which makes it conflict with carvernosims’ extracted basegame items, so I edited that file to make them compatible. You can download my edits here. Hope that helped! :-D

All credits goes to labine730 and carvernosims :-)

The pizza delivery NPC has bothered me for ages with its screamingly red color. Also, what’s up with all the different logos? One logo on the car, another one on the pizza box and a THIRD one on the clothes???

Info + download link under the cut since I can’t explain things like a normal person ( ´༎ຶㅂ༎ຶ`)b

NPC Clothing

I shoeswapped afbodypizzadelivery and ambodypizzadelivery with shoes from umbottomwillpants (”converted” to female by me). The shoe meshes are similiar, but not the same! I fixed the shoes’ texture as well to make them match better. In addition to this, I removed shadows, changed colors and fixed a black spot on the AF mesh.

I tried to fix the mapping on the female mesh (on the back) but I couldn’t fix it completely unfortunately - I’m talking about how the logo on the female mesh is a bit “squished” compared to the male mesh. I removed the logo on the front and replaced the one on the back with my new one. The simlish reads: “at your door!”

I uploaded my fixed shoe texture (.png) and two .ms3d files (AF/AM) here, for anyone who would like to use these shoes on other outfits!

Vehicle

I separated the sign on the car, re-mapped it, gave it its own (+new!) texture and also fixed the edges. This default is compatible with any texture default you might have for the pizza vehicle (vehiclepizza-surface_txtr), but it won’t affect the sign. It’s not compatible with dharden’s clean pizza car replacement though, since they also edited the shpe. I personally like the dirty car, but I included a version with the gold/clean texture from Michelle since not everyone might be a fan of the dirty look.

If you use my version, remove dharden’s!

Pizzas

I’ve edited both pizza textures a bit. I made the pepperoni one less red and increased saturation on the combo pizza. (It’s not that big of a difference - I'm aware, but they irked me!)

Before you say “two pizzas?!” - I know I know!! :-D when I extracted the pizza texture I came across a second unused pizza texture. I made a thread over at MTS about this which simler90 saw and kindly fixed EA’s mistake, so make sure to get their fix here! :-D 

Pizza Box

I also defaulted the pizza box. I’ve never seen a white pizza box in my entire life, we only have brown ones here in Sweden - so brown it is! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

to clarify: the pizza box and pizza defaults are in the same file - if you choose to download my defaults separately (vegankaktus_DEFAULTpizzasbox.package)

I also repositoried labine730's buyable pizza box to “foodpizzabox-insideoutside” (it will pick up my default now, or any other default you have for the pizza box. And if none: EA’s original texture) for an anon, and made carvernosims' extracted basegame items compatible with it. It's the file "functionalpizzabox+extracteditems.zip". I also made labine730's pizza box available on community lots + edited the catalogue so now it's found in both kitchen - appliances and kitchen - general since I read about people having problems finding it.

Recommended Mods

These are pizza-related mods/fixes I recommend downloading. They aren’t required for any of my defaults to work, with the exception of simler90′s fix :-)

simler90′s random pizza topping

Neder’s no relationships with delivery people

Marhi’s pizza box on counters only

Edit: You can find my Chinese delivery defaults here!

If you have any defaults in your downloads folder defaulting the same thing as any of my files, you have to remove those before installing mine :-) you can choose between merged or separate files, and all files have been compressed to reduce file size. Let me know if you encounter any issues!

Credits: EA, Michelle for the gold texture dharden used in their default, simler90 for fixing EA’s mistake, labine730 for their functional pizza box I edited and carvernosims for their extracted bg items which I also edited :-)

This is a small (it’s literally 3kb!) default replacement for the baby bottle (and smartmilk) using txmt resources from ATS’ baby bottle for @dinalandgraab :-) 

I made the yellow rubber top (is there even a word for that part?) a bit more vibrant and while I was at it, I edited @midgethetree’s vampire baby bottle mod to fit my default + gave it its own rubber texture. Midge’s mod is not necessary for my default to work, but it requires nightlife (and other mods from Midge - 1, 2) since that’s when vampires got added to the game.

All files have been compressed to reduce file size and remember you can only have one default replacement for the baby bottle in your downloads folder at a time! Let me know if you encounter any issues :-)

Oh and also! You might be interested in Marhis' "smartmilk maker not on counters only" fix!

I'm so excited for your food replacements! The horribly ugly, low res and unappetizing chef salad, chili, cereal, mac n cheese and so on have been the bane of my simming existence.

If you’re the same anon as from this ask, I’m so sorry for my late reply (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`) your ask got burried deep down in my drafts (unintentionally!)

Anyhow! Thank you for sharing my excitement anon!! :-D I can give you some shitty milkshape sneak peaks of the foods in question (͠≖ ͜ʖ͠≖)b

Chili con sin carne:

EA’s chili con carne literally look like purple-tinted dirt..

Cereal:

Why did EA name it ‘cereal’ and then gave it a müsli texture? And WHY does it have some sort of tinted filter/overlay?? no thanks.

(I tried adding some milk parts to the texture but couldn’t get it to look good. I might try again in the future)

Chef salad:

Fixed some mesh problems as well.

Mac and cheese:

Sorry anon, but I kinda like EA’s macncheese texture 😳 I did scale the texture using photoenlager so it’s a bit more detailed. I might look into using another texture in the future, no promises though :-)

Keep in mind these are all still early WIPs!

I’ve replaced their “foodprep/tray” resources as well, but I won’t show them now. Probably sometime in the future when I feel like I’m at a stage in the process I can show them haha :-D it’s a big project and I haven’t touched it for a while, I don’t know why exactly, but I recently started poking at it again and am so excited! ( ´༎ຶㅂ༎ຶ`)b

Hi! I've got a little problem with your paperboy default. The fact is that your cap completely replaces the teenage version of the 3t2 Baseball Cap. In addition, the mesh of this baseball cap was recently fixed by peppermint-ginger post/650268784127508480

Hello anon! :-D thank you so much for letting me know! I had no idea it conflicted with the original baseball cap (but it makes 100% sense since I didn’t give the resources new instances etc, I must have completely forgot to do that back then). I’ll update my default with peppermint-ginger’s fix and fix the clashing with the original hair. It might take me some days, but I will update it (and reblog the post when I’ve done so) asap! :-)

Again, thank you very much for letting me know anon! (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤

hi! thank you for going through the trouble of fixing the pizza problem with the buyable hack. i really appreciate it! :)

Hello again anon! :-D no worries (nor trouble) at all!! I’m glad I could be of help! (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤
