Fixed ArtGlobals
by Cal (calezane@xs4all.nl)

Many paintings, sculptures and other objects in the Decoration 
category contain a reference to ArtGlobals.iff, a file with common 
artwork routines present in Hot Date and all versions after it 
(including Deluxe and Double Deluxe). In older packs, they will
appear in the catalogue, but, once bought, can't be placed, and,
if already present in a house, can't be viewed. This file is a 
reconstruction of ArtGlobals.iff without the Hot Date-specific code 
and is meant to make compatible with the Sims, Livin' Large and 
House Party all decorative objects whose only incompatibility is the 
reference to ArtGlobals.

Put this file in GameData/Global. Don't use it with Hot Date or later!

Being a simple fix, this file may be freely distributed.

For technical problems with Sims files, I wrote something called the
Sims Support Page (http://www.simania.nl/ssp/ssp.htm). To
email me personally, put the word "gatch" in the subject line to keep
the mail out of the spambox. (In good weeks, I get 200 spam mails a
week. In bad weeks, I get 400 spam mails a week. Not kidding.)
