I was just reading about this on Mod the Sims2--evidently if you 1) have the
patch installed and 2) rename a recolored object package after it's been
made with the CEP files, it corrupts the package in some way and the object
turns blue.
The good news is that it has nothing to do with reaching a object limit in
the game, and nothing to do with memory.
The fix is to use SimPe to export the graphics from the corrupted file and
then create a new package file using Object Workshop. Import the graphics
into the new package and, as long as you don't rename it, it should work
fine.
Hope that's not too confusing; it's late here and I'm tired...LOL!
