Sims 3:HowIMadeAToiletClassWithTuning

How I made a toilet with its own class and its own tuning - by Inge Jones

I decided to use exactly the same graphics as for a normal expensive toilet, so in the package I only included the parts down to but not including the VPXY. If you want to give your object a new appearance too, you will need to keep the scenegraph chain down through the VPXY to the lowest level (the Cloner will get all those parts for you by default)

The new script resource, also to be imported to the package, had to have an IID that was the fnv64 of the dll name "ToiletInge.dll".

I had to edit the OBJK to point to a new scriptclass, which I had to write the definition of, using the toiletExpensive definition as a guide. This makes my new toiletInge one of "toilet" just like toiletExpensive is one of toilet.

Finally I also placed in my package a copy of the original toilet's tuning xml from gameplaydata, and gave it an IID that was fnv64 of the scriptclasskey in OBJK. This meant I could make my toilet break and get dirty on every use.
