I worked through the Object Creation tutorial and it worked. I decided to try and make a simple table. I got to the part where you are to export the texture image from the clone in SimPE but there is no texture image. In the list the last item is Text Lists. What did I do wrong? Is there any way to continue?

If you cloned a Maxis object with all the default option checked in SimPE, there shoud be one or some picture(s) in your cloned package. Some custom objects (glass object etc.) may have no txtr files, if you cloned those object, there will be no txtr files in your cloned package.

I cloned one of Maxis end tables. No texture image though. I'll try again and pick a different Maxis object. It's just a plain square end table so maybe I can substitute something else and still use the files I've already made (the mesh and the image map.)

it's probably a table that pulls it's texture files from a matching coffee table. make sure to click "create stand alone object" when cloning and it'll pull all the texture images for you.
