"EZ Clone" Bases

Sometimes "objects" are actually a set of objects working together. Traditionally these objects are found as separate Iff Files and so must be cloned separately. The object maker must then do a bit of hacking inside of each object to make the new set work together as one again.

S.S.o.W.'s "Easy to Clone" (aka "EZ Clone") files are iff files with all of the associated objects merged into a single iff allowing you to clone all of the pieces simultaneously. When you clone everything together the cloning program does the necessary hacking for you.

    Everything in the iff must be cloned simultaneously:
  • T-moggers remember to click the "Select All" button when cloning.
  • IffSnooperers remember to "Clone", not sub-clone.

NOTE: Third party programs such as Sim Wardrobe's great Sims Categorizor program are confused by multiple objects being in a single iff and return an error stating it cannot find the Primary OBJD. This does not mean there is something wrong with the object. It simply means the program cannot recognize it.

EZ Clone Base Dance Floor
Combines dancefloor object with the dancefloor controller which controls the dancefloor's light patterns. This base looks and functions exactly like the Maxis original.
House Party Required

ez clone register "EZ Clone" Cash Register with Cashier (HD)
combines the cash register with one cashier (dark skin, male, as shown). This bases functions exactly like the original using Maxis' "Expensive Clerk" animations.

REUPLOADED NOV 25 2006 due to an object id conflict. File has been renamed so be sure to DELETE the old one (ssw_ezclone_registerNPCHD.iff) and use this one instead. This does not effect any clones made from the base.


Hot Date or Higher Required - The skins this base uses come with hot date so will be just floating hands in games that do not have hot date installed. Clones with new skins assigned to them (see woobsha workshop for instructions) will not have this problem.

Dishwasher with dish washer"EZ Clone" Dishwasher with NPC Busboy: Now you can hire an additional NPC just to clean your buffet dishes on any kind of non-residential lot. Buy his stainless steel industrial strength dishwasher in the dining/appliances section and he will appear for work after you enter the lot with a Sim. This NPC has only one function, to clean dishes on non-residential lots. Unlike other versions of this item, This Base is not intended for residential use and will not work properly if placed on a home lot.

Using buffet tables on non-residential lots requires there be the proper staff to clean up the used plates. On some lots (Old Town, Magic Town) there is no one to clean up used plates at all. On DownTown lots only the busboy that is spawned from the dining podium will clean buffet plates (if they are in the restaurant he works in). Other lots (Vacation Isle and Studio Town) have janitors that do clean up buffet plates, but are often so busy with other tasks dirty plates are allowed to pile up.
Hot Date (or higher) Required

2-in-1 Cafe Cart "EZ Clone" 2-in-1 Cafe Cart:
Cafe cart with NPC Clerk sells both espresso and pastry from a single cart which is hacked so that counters placed next to it will corner.

Designed to match the Unleashed cafe pieces, the NPC wears a uniform to match Travelin' Joe's so they can be used in the same cafe or replace the two unleashed versions for smaller cafes, allowing you to decrease the number of NPCs present on a community lot. This cart is available for residential use. If you decide to delete the cafe cart from a residential lot use the move_objects cheat to remove the NPC.

This NPC uses a custom (skinny) mesh. It is a modified versin of Maxis' busboy mesh. Skinners are free to use it for playable and NPC skins or as a base for other meshes.
Unleashed Required
