It's been awhile since I've been trying to accomplish this. I've been on and off looking through the plate making tutorial. Unfortunately, the tutorial confuses me. However, I am growing frustrated with the plates not showing up in gameplay. As some of you might know, I mostly make sim foods. I have no issue making foods. But when it comes to creating objects, I get confused as to where to place guids. I think the issue of the plates not showing up is a guid issue.

These are my questions...

1. Where to assign the guid when creating the plate.
2. Why aren't my textures showing?

Thanks.

Do you mean a default replacement plate for EAxis foods? I don't think you can have anything else - unless you mean you want to make a deco plate.

Replacement plates won't need a new GUID. You'll only need to put the GMDC, TXTR (and the TXMT in some cases), that belongs to the object you're replacing in a new file. Then you replace the mesh with an OBJ, and the texture. Just be aware that there are several meshes, and I think the different foods have separate meshes, so the easiest might be to make a replacement texture.

If you mean you want to make a custom plate for custom food, you'll have to do it in that file. I think the plate or bowl that belongs to the food you extract tags along in the file (but they often use the original textures). I haven't made foods before, only extracted meshes from them, so I don't know the details.

If an object needs a new GUID, you can add it in the OBJD resource. You'll need to be registered, though - and I'm not sure if registering is possible any longer.

Moving to Create.
