I've been able to go through a few more Sims Online files to see what is exclusive to the online version compared to the offline. I've been using IFF Snooper on the Macintosh in order to extract graphic files for wallpaper and floor tiles, and then converting them to work for regular Sims. It's a matter of exporting resources, and then reimporting them again to create a new file that is "Sims Compatible".
I use a program called FarOut on the PC to go through all of the Sims expansion folders to try to find which of these TSO walls and floors are already in the offline game. There is no sense in converting files already in the game. I'm making a detailed list of all the walls and floors in TSO and marking which expansions they are from or if they are exclusive to TSO. I just found a good handful of files that are exclusive, so I'll be converting those soon and putting them on the website.
I'm also working on a converted version of the 1st Anniversary Pet Object. Most of it is working, but I have a lot of fine tuning to do. For example, there is no fun or room motive improvements yet. I also need to figure out how the pets interact with the object. Plus I need to get the sound effect for worshipping the object working.
