Additional walls and floors unlocked

I couldn't find any other posts on this so I thought I'd toss the idea out there.

As a computer geek, I can never leave well enough alone. While I was checking out the scripts for floors and walls after reading about them on another site, I had an idea. Since these are merely text docs they seemed easy enough to mess around with.

I noticed that many textures for walls and floors were listed in notInCatalog and deprecated. I removed this comment from all the floors, walls and some of the road sections.

Sure enough, I have new items. There's no description or names for them like the other textures and some didn't work at all. Compared them side to side with hubby's game on another computer and I definitely have things he doesn't.

It does look like there will be a limit on the number of patterns you can have, much like in the previous version of the game. I know it's not much of a change but you do get a few more options.

those files are pretty useful. i once modded one (walls.txt) to enable split level houses. this works well but needs two additional creations and some skill to make
I postet in the simlogical (Inge Jones' site, www.simlogical.com) forum how to make a game ready

it's in Forum->Sims 2 Downloads->Locking doors (i hope Inge will split that thread)

Please: more info! Which file do I look into?
