I'm making a little board game for Sims to enjoy, with a new custom mesh, cloned from chess. The mesh and textures are all finished, and they work just fine in the game.

Since its a simple game, the animations the Sims do work just fine for this game.

The only one little thing that I would so much like to change is the shape and color of the game pieces the game creates when Sims go to play.

I just need plain little flat game pieces, two colors. Easy to mesh, easy to color, but uuuhmmm....

Can ya do that? I do not want to replace the game pieces for the entire Sims game...just for this little game if possible.

Can I clone them, mesh them up (pun ), give them GUID and all is good, or is there some hidden No-No! waiting to trip me up?

I know if its even possible, I likely must do SOMETHING to get my little game to call up and use my little game pieces and not the chess ones.

I've been thinking, if one is to get such a thing to work, what maybe has to be done is...

-clone the chess pieces
-remesh, retaining any joints, recolor
-package
-give each newly meshed piece its own GUID

Then err...

-go back to my chessboard object's package
-link up the new pieces to the board somewhere in the BHAV's by using the new pieces new GUID's, reversed-paired, in the first 4 operand pair slots of the relevant BHAV's

Then mmm..
-put the new packages in the dowloads folder and test if anything worked...

If any of the above is correct, the question remains, how do I locate the correct BHAV's to work on?

And, have I missed any key things to do.

Err... I guess that the Board Game Pieces are Effects, becuse they are the effect of the main object, the Board. So, to edit those effects you should read this tutorial:

But, if you are just a beginner, i advise to just start learning some more tutorials around here, as just ONE little mistake could Crash your game OR your computer. But, if you want to give it a try, go on...
