I read the threads over at the exchange, and I was fairly surprised at how unaware the staff there seem to be about how other websites operate.

Hi Cyclonesue!

First let me say that I love all your creations, and long may you continue to make stuff for the sims!

Second, with reference to what you have posted here about the Maxis recolors not showing, I would like to mention an odd little thing that I have noticed since Pets. I frequently use Numenor's recolorable modular deck stairs, and just recently I've been installing some older downloaded lots to clean them up and repackage them, and when I've checked the new package, while all the unwnated hacks, alienwares etc. have thankfully gone, I now have all the recolours of Numenor's stairs in the package, whether or not the lot actually even has a staircase!

This is a great bit of news indeed Sue! Perhaps EaGames needs to do away with the package lot to the exchange button and do a setup like what everyone else does here or at mts2 or any other website.

Hi Cyclonesue! I just wanted to thank you for taking this up on the Exchange. I pored over the threads posted by you and other CC creators. As a very new creator, including just learning how to do recolors, finding out that people couldn't use my recolors was really disheartening. It's really encouraging that Maxis is listening, and I hope they correct this situation. I think they know how important the custom content community is to them.

On a more cynical note, I just find it odd that they exclude only Maxis recolors from the package and not custom meshes. From what I could find on the Exchange, all of the "objects" were made by Maxis...not one original creation from a user. That makes me tend to think that the vast, vast, vast majority of custom MESHES that people can STILL include in their lots that they upload were most likely not of their own creation. Kind of odd that Maxis wants to quell the spread of recolors, but doesn't mind the spread of custom-made meshes...or hacks for that matter.

In my vie
