Thanks for the CS stuff now my CS hood can have shopping huts! I've actually already done the Castaway Stories Wallpapers and Floors, including the ones that Xianah missed along with having repaired various spelling mistakes and other errors that Maxis managed to leave in. So if you want them, you can get them from here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QDJ880D4Hey thanks! Do these have the Maxis descriptions and price? I remember Xianah's did not.

Yes they do. Every single wallpaper/flooring contains their full name, description and pricing that Maxis assigned to them in Castaway Stories. However I have corrected the odd spelling mistake that Maxis managed to leave in.

Many thanks for the wonderful CS additons. They look and work great in my native suburb.  I know that there has been a lot of debate here about the stoves not being extractable but could the fruit salad food item and the buffet table be extracted?

The stove has already being extracted by Havelock. Here is the link to it: Post. I would also like the buffet table and fruit salad item, please. The wedding arch will also be great!

Here's the Castaway Stories terrains to complete your set: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=D6KVHBH5Inside the zip folder are two folders. One contains the exclusive Castaway terrains that can't be found elsewhere. The other contains old Sims 2 terrains that are present in Castaway Stories, albeit with different catalogue names and descriptions, I've included the Castaway Stories versions just for any completionists out there that would like to have the full tropical feel to the terrains they pick (Even if they're exactly the same as the Sims 2 versions.). They won't overwrite their Sims 2 counterparts though, so you'll end up with duplicate textures in your game, just with different labels. So if you just want the exclusive textures, you just need to add that folder. If you want the re-labels too though, just add in the Re-Labels folder too.

To err is human, but to really foul things up requires a computer.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

Sorry but they are all the residential and community lots from Pet Stories. Perhaps someone else with PS could post a few pictures as examples.

Why do some of the lots have loads of custom content?

[/quote]Why do some of the lots have loads of custom content? [/quote] These are Maxis lots some of them come with some of the custom items that came with Pet Stories. I don't have any custom content loaded in my download folders other than the stuff that has been extracted from LS, PS, and CS and a few MATY enhancements. I tried to take pictures but I am too old and too ignorant to figure out how to post them here. If you have Pets Stories, The Show Park, and Best of Show from the Alice and Sam scenario are included.

Hmm. If someone posts something they have made/extracted and have not posted screenshots because of incapability then I would be very dubious about downloading what they have 'made'. Just my opinion.

Sorry this was a bad idea. I did try to post pictures but all that showed was a bunch of red x's. If one of the moderators could delete all the posts pertaining to this I would appreciate it. I am truly sorry.

No need to delete anything. Some of us braver souls will have a look at the lots. I know I will.  When I do, I'll try to make some pictures and let everyone know how it went.  ETA: There is approximately 60 lots here and no way am I going to post picts of all of them, but this is a small sampling. They are all clean safe files, with good clean Maxis made lots. To have them as they are originally made for PS you would need the walls, floors, and objects from PS. So as is, they are unfinished lots, but definitely useable. Some are newer ones I've never seen before and others are obviously from Sims 2. This is about six lots from the Arbor Falls 001 file: From the neighborhood view:   1330 Vista del Arroyo    One of the Buddy Street lots (an obvious Sims 2 made over lot)  Thanks for sharing them bzrburns. Don't worry too much about it. Leave them here for those who might take advantage of them. They are nice lots to have.

I didn't intentionally mean to sabotage anybody's game. I deleted them when I realized that I extracted them from Pet Stories last year prior to both getting a new computer and also moving all my custom stuff out of downloads and into Tsdata\Res\Catalog\Bins. I didn't post the pictures because I don't know how to. If someone would be so kind as to tell me how to do so I will try to repackage the lots and repost them with pictures.
Thanks for posting the pic's Hellyes and your vote of confidence. I think the Mesa Flats lots are some of the best of Maxis by far.

Sigh, try if CashRegisterGlobals work for the object but be aware the animations they use are weird for the caury Cashregister. And the use the simoleans not stones.
So it is broken? The cash register and the shell phone are definitely borkinated. After conducting a binary search because my game would crash to desktop without loading completely, it came down to only these two items. Anyone else having a similar experience?

Are you using the updated versions? Do you have something (like another cell phone replacement) that would conflict? I've been playing with these in my games for months, and my game works fine.

I don't believe I have any other replacements in my game that would conflict. I have not downloaded any other phones, but I do have the awesome phonehack. That wouldn't conflict, would it? It didn't show up as such in any of the hack conflict checks. As far as the updated version, I'll redownload to see if I that works.
Thanks so much WatersMoon! I really like having a "native" hood and having an exchange woud be cool.

No, phonehack wouldn't conflict. I haven't yet used the cash register, but I have used the shell phone and can confirm that it works. I have had no problems with both of these files in the same subfolder.

Re-downloading helped with the cash register, but I couldn't locate the phone in the game to use it. Obviously it's working since my game hasn't crashed. Is the shell phone in the same place as the other phones? Thanks for your help.
