C:Program FilesEA GAMESThe Sims 2TSDataResCatalogScripts


(3) Open the file 'fireplaces.txt' and find an empty space at the bottom of the page. Make sure you don't have a fireplace with the same number (fireplace 1000) if you do have then change the number to make it unique.

(4) Copy and paste the following block of text below into a space at the bottom of the file.

IF YOU HAVE INSTALLED NUMENORS SCRIPTORIUM DO THE FOLLOWING:

Copy the above script to Notepad and save the text file with this name:

Install the package files as normal and then double click on the
"Scriptorium_Fireplaces"shortcut in your downloads, place the text file in the folder that opens.

That's all!


And removing a custom fireplace etc. is extremely easy, too: delete the .package from the Downloads, and delete the related text files from the Scriptorium folder, and you're done!
