Now onto "Object Data" click the first instance line then Change the text for only "Cereal" to Count Chocula so it looks like Food - Count Chocula - Menu then get your Unique Guid then click Commit ...
Once done Copy-n-Paste your unique guid down in notepad/wordpad because we are going to use it again.

Now go to "Behavior Function" click Instance 0x00001000 it will open up a long box pointing to a red X Click the Box, this will open the OpCodes now where it says "Operands" SEE the first four numbers? Reverse Your Guid and put your first Guid in it! "like so"
Your Guid --> EL 99 LL 67
Make it Reversed ---> 67 LL 99 EL
DO NOT TOUCH ANY OF THE OTHER NUMBERS OR YOUR PACKAGE IS TOAST! Only the first four Boxes I HAVE CIRCLED THEM FOR YOU!
"Click Commit'
Now do the same thing on Instance 0x00001004 using your second Guid
“this is an EXAMPLE” Guid EL 99 LL 68
Make it Reversed ---> 68 LL 99 EL
Now comes the fun part... open up the sims2 and lests see if it works?
If it doesn’t seem to work and your sim is just standing at the fridge then Reverse
67 and 68 in the instance codes
Do not try this same reference on another food since Each Food item is Different it most likely will not work!!
I am not responsible for anyone who tries this and messes up their game blows up their machine or pulls out all their hair trying this Tutorial...
