The Sims 3: Roof thumbnails
Quick tutorial because this has taken me way too long to figure out properly, and helped immensely with reorganizing my catalog.
To get roofs to display correct thumbnails in game, you have to:
1) copy the instance ID of the CRMT resource:
2) copy/paste it to the PNGinstance field in the CommonBlock section of the CRMT resource:
3) change (*) the ICON resource to these settings:
Type: ICON 0x2E75C765 (64x64 thumbnail)
Group: 0
Instance: [same instance as the CRMT resource]
(*) If you aren’t lazy like me, you can duplicate the ICON, change the type of the duplicate to 0x2E75C766, and modify only the original - which is still 0x2E75C765. Note that the original ICON might be 256x256, so you will have to export the PNG and resize it to 128x128 (otherwise the image will look cut off in the catalogue).
If you want to be extra thorough, you can also create a 32x32 ICON with a type of 0x2E75C764.
4) replace the ICON image with a 64x64 image of your choice.
And voila, no more roofs that you have to click through to get to the one you wanted! 😄
