UPDATE:

I got the building working in the sims 3 and now it is viewable from the neighboorhood view BUT there's another problem.

The building is giving off this strange red glow... what is causing that? and how do i fix it?




EDIT:

This error has been fixed... here's how I did it:

When you made the object, did you replace the meshes for both LODs? I think you've replaced it for the high level of detail, but not the low level of detail mesh, so when you zoom out it shows the original low lod mesh

i actually didn't know that i had to do that but i'll get to it right now

It worked BUT it's still not viable from the neighborhood view. How can I make it visible to the neighborhood view?

Perhaps the statue that you cloned from isn't visible from the town view. You could either clone a different object that doesn't disappear from the town view or try what this person did:

This is about fading when the camera gets close but it may be a similar process for it fading as it zooms out (sorry I'm a bit vague, I've never done this before )

that would be a good idea. but which object should i clone?

Is it marked as Large Object? Double check in S3PE and if it is not, you could try to mark it as such. You can find that setting under Object Type flags: https://modthesims.info/wiki.php?ti..._Reorganization

how do i make it so it can be opened in S3pe? i created it in tsr workshop

UPDATE:

I figured out how to get them to open in s3pe, using this: http://modthesims.info/d/364038/del...-sept-2009.html
