I made a successor mod for this one Paint-N-Tweaks, that has the same features and more.
This mod still works for 1.6, but I will not be updating it anymore as the new one will take its place.

Just a heads up, this mod is causing Vanilla Temperature Expanded wall heaters and coolers to be drawn facing the opposite intended direction. Changing the texture filenames within this mod, "north" to "south" for example, fixed the issue for me. Maybe they changed the texture names on their mod.

@Ictiv Thx will take a look at it :)

EDIT: To clarify, the error I described only happens if the load order is VFE Tribals > Stepping Stones > This mod, since by the time this mod would do its patch, Stepping Stones already deleted the Research Spot.
If the load order is VFE Tribals > This Mod > Stepping Stones then there are no issues.

Hey!
There's a relatively small incompatibility when both Research Reinvented Stepping Stones and VFE Tribals is used. Namely, Stepping Stones removes the Research Spot, causing this mod's attempt at patching it to throw errors.

I do not think this actually causes any tangible issues, since all that happens from what I can tell is that some patches do not get applied to an item that won't be in the game anyway, but it might be worth listing Stepping Stones as something this mod should be loaded before to avoid people assuming there is a more serious issue with their load order due to the red error on startup.

Now that Vanilla Expanded Framework got updated.
I have updated and fixed some errors in this mod for v1.6
Re-Sub the mod, and let me know it there are any problems :)

Updatet the mod to 1.6
Let me know if there are any problems.

@Hakkai Think i pass on that.
The problem is i change the textures to white so they get the right color.
The upscaled textures change every texture in the mod, so i would have to do it on every item and texture. Its one of the things were you have to choose :)

There seems to be a conflict with... probably Vanilla Furniture Expanded - production for the machining table(?) and Gerry's upscaled vanilla textures for the Cooler.
Can you make a compatibility thing so they can be painted but retain the upscaled textures?

@KatieDante Np, and glad it worked :)

Thanks for the response :D I've edited it to work for now, hurray!

@KatieDante Yah, im pritty sure its becaus im changeing the texture of the spot to be able to paint it, and the other spots use the old/dafault one.
Can fix it later on but will not be now :)
Until then if you know a bit xml you can very change it in the xml files to use the new texture from this mod.

hi! thanks for this mod. for some reason this now has issues with the spot from Wider Marriage Spot https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3358393642 - it never used to, and neither mod has been updated recently. i wonder if maybe something changed in VE.

i've tested with only these two mods + harmony + VE.

https://imgur.com/CIRE08q the first is the normal colour, and there's no option to switch back to it after choosing one of the custom ones. the previously vibrant flag is now also really dark.

without this mod, wider marriage spot and the regular marriage spot are fine. with this mod alone, it's fine. the two together, in either load order, are a problem :(

@ComradeCorvus Im working on something els at the moment, but will put it on the ToDo list :)

Could you please add support for "Enter Here"'s entry/exit spots?

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2824117092

@TacocaT But the DLC ;)
Take time to fix, but will take a look at it at some point.

Please make this not require a dlc, this is the most bizarre dependency I've seen in a while

@Yukari Whiteclouds Try change load order so my mod is loaded after his, then it will use my texture and not the upscaled.
Its bacus i have made masks for it there normal is not there. and he have not.

When i use this mod with Gerrymon's Upscaled Vanilla Textures there's errors on the cooler textures where the mask is smaller than the texture

@ComradeKai thx :) i put it on the ToDo list.

Hi there! Thank you again for this amazing mod. If you do plan on updating this mod again, I'd love to see the rugs from Vanilla Expanded: Art become paintable!

@kongkim You're Amazing!

@frosted_gay just did an update and added paintable to Niilo's QOL spots.

Ok i add it to the todo list :)

@kongkim yeah, a drop spot and a trader spot

@frosted_gay don't know, do it add new spots?

Could you add support for Niilo's QOL spots?

thanks

@pointemorte. Good catch :) Fixed it.

@pointemorte. That is wird :D But i take a look

This mod causes standing coolers from VE Temperature to be placed upside down. Tested on a barebones playlist with only these two mods enabled. Please take a look

Thank you!! :)

@eighmy_lupin Glad to hear :)

Works perfectly

@eighmy_lupin Should work now, try resub the mod to download it again, and let me know if it works :)

Thank you so much

@eighmy_lupin Yah i put it on the to do list :)

Can you add the couch added by 1.5 ?

Update: Made all buildable things in mod Vanilla Temperature Expanded paintable, except for Air Ducts.
(For some reason unknown I was not able to make Air Ducts paintable, if anyone knows how, please let me know).
I also added a list of mods in the files that this needs to be loaded after (Will do automatic now).

@shcade

Update: Made Fabrication Bench paintable, also all variants from the mod "Vanilla Textures Expanded - Variations".
Did some optimization of the code in general.

@Antoine

aight thx yeah no presh

Maybe support for the Museum spot from the Museums mod

@Antoine Can take a look at it when i work on the mod again :)
@shcade Also can take a look at it, but depends on how much work there are in it :)

Any chance for mod compatibility with Vanilla Temperature Expanded?

Is it possible to add the fabrication workbench?

@_baseplate Thx :)
But don't know, if you find out let me know and i can make it ;)

was wondering, is the couch in 1.5 paintable? this seems like a great mod!

Update: Fixed a small dublicate node error in 1.5

Updated to game version 1.5

@ComradeKai i put it on the to do list fore when i do next small update :)
