When I finally went back to the original source for thesimmysims's mod and used that as a base, I had more success, but I then had to alter the code where Maxis has made changes to their base code. I spent a lot of time banging my head on my keyboard while I tried to work that out without any seeming success. It was complicated when I just decompiled, because no matter what I seemed to change or how I edited the files it didn't seem to work.
