Color Enable Package

Examples of recolored objects.

The Color Enable Package or CEP for short is a user created mod[1] which gives creators the possibility to re-color, one-color objects in The Sims 2. You could consider it a basic Create a Style and might be where EA got their inspiration to create it for The Sims 3. The mod was created and is maintained by 'Numenor' & 'RGiles' and it's home is ModTheSims.

The CEP enables colour options for many objects that Maxis shipped in only one colour (e.g. the potty chair, the exercise machines, the photo booth); the CEP also enables colour options for a second part of the object, when Maxis offered only one recolourable part (e.g. the books of the bookcases, the amplifier for the guitar, the marble base and the exterior of the coffin). Once you've installed the CEP, you'll be able to create additional re-colours for those objects, and use re-colours created by other users.
THE CEP HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CLOTHING, SKINS, HAIR, ACCESSORIES AND SUCH. IT AFFECTS ONLY *MAXIS OBJECTS*

The CEP is compatible with all Sims 2 titles up to and including Mansion & Garden Stuff. The latest release is version 9.2.0 released on May 15, 2009 and will likely be the last.[2]


CEP comes with an automatic installer for Windows or a manual install for Windows and Mac OS X and is only around 5 Mb in size.

The CEP site has it's own FAQ and installation guide.
