Ramen Fix - Restores Uni texture taken over by BV ramen, Fixes the broken thumbnail

In Bon Voyage, Cup O’ Ramen from University has been taken over by the Ramen from the Far East food stand. The original Uni ramen texture is no longer used. Even though BV introduced a new eating animation for chopsticks, Sims still use a fork to eat Uni Cup O’ Ramen.
What this fix does:
- Restores Uni Cup O’ Ramen texture which was overridden by BV Food Stand Ramen texture.
- Fixes the missing shadow TXMT for the ramen bowl. No more broken thumbnail with an ugly blue shadow in action queues.
(You have to delete Thumbnails\ObjectThumbnails.package to regenerate ramen thumbnail.) - Sims will eat Uni Cup O’ Ramen with chopsticks instead of a fork. (Fork version is available as well.)
Choose only ONE version, depending on which EPs you have.
- LdDarcy_RamenFix.package: Uni+BV, also FT (or later EP)
- LdDarcy_RamenFix_BV.package: Uni+BV, but no FT (or later EP)
- LdDarcy_RamenFix_Fork.package: Sims use a fork instead of chopsticks. Uni+BV, both for FT (or later EP) and pre-FT
- LdDarcy_RamenFix_ShadowOnly.package: Shadow fix only for the ramen bowl. Use it ONLY if you don't have BV, or do not mind overridden ramen texture.

Known issue:
Sims will use a spoon when they're not using the table to eat ramen, i.e. standing or sitting on the sofa. (Does not happen in Fork version.)
Installation:
Place in your My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads folder.
(Or in a subfolder of Downloads folder.)
Changelog:
v1.0: Initial release.
v1.1: 2 alternative versions (Fork, ShadowOnly) were added. (2008/08/25)

About Me
I have my own section at MATY now. Visit DarcyLand for some more goodies that are not available in MTS2.
Check this MATY thread for AL compatibility of my hacks. All my mods are now confirmed to be compatible with AL, or updated to AL.
Recently I'm getting a lot of PMs asking how to update various custom objects like fridges or computers up to FreeTime.
I wrote a tutorial for updating custom fridges and computers to FreeTime. For other types of objects, go read this MATY thread where a lot of information is gathered. A similar thread for AL is here.
==============================================================================
Basically, you can do whatever you want with my creations, as long as they stay free. You can upload them to other free sites, include them in lots or Sims, modify them if you want.
Please make a link back to my original MTS2 threads, in case I update my past creations. If you're reuploading my mods to other sites, please keep them up to date. Check my MTS2 journal for updates of past creations..
My only 2 restrictions are:
- Do NOT upload them to PAY sites (including TSR) and Exchange.
- Don't claim them as your own.
