clothing gone bad?
jennydeenyc:
Ran into yet another oddity with some custom content today that I'm hoping someone on here can help with. The first kid in my sim family transitioned to child and I immediately had her go online to buy a new outfit (using Monique's non-global hacked PC, updated for NL). Several custom t-shirts that functioned perfectly with the game before I had to reinstall and start over now turn the "mannequin" black from the neck down. I don't dare purchase the clothes to try to have my sim kid wear them, for fear of corrupting her data irreparably. I know losing a few shirts isn't a big deal, but since they had worked previously, it's a little annoying that they've gone all glitchy now. Also, I've noticed since the reinstall that my sims often get stuck in "run" mode, much more so than ever before. While it saves time on occasion, it also makes it hard to stop them from doing things in freewill mode that I might not want them doing. Any advice on these issues is appreciated.

I've had the going black thing both at a community lot and using JMs pile o' clothes dresser thing. I found that just changing to a different category and then back often changes his back as it should be, but it's happening with more frequency recently. Choosing the clothes that had displayed as black on the mannequin are OK in the game though - or at least they have been so far.
The other one I'm getting is that in Create-A-Family mode, I have a similar thing where the borders of the different sections go all odd and blocky, or turn into loads of very thin lines. Again, selecting a different category seems to (eventually) cure this. The annoying thing is that until NL, I never had any problems in these areas unless their was a corrupt clothing item and then the game would crash.
I'm not sure if it's NL or the patch that is the problem here because I only got NL a day or two before the patch came out. It could be a bad download, but so far, whatever I put on a Sim, it seems to be OK apart from those long Maxis shorts for teenage boys. If a male teen gets those as he age transitions, then they make the lower half of his body invisible and they are the same if you buy them in any of the normal ways. And it's all of those long shorts that do this any colour, so it has to be a fault with the EP.

I think the running thing might be related to Monique's computer, at least that is where I am experiencing it. In houses where I have the global pc after or while someone is using it either the sim who used the computer or their partner will start the running from place to place like their pants are on fire and they must accomplish whatever they're queued to do right now! It's kind of hilarious in a way but annoying because you know they are meant to be on hyperspeed like that. I'm also wondering if a "jumping" (sims jumping out of actions) problem that I'm having is related to this hack; I thought I had narrowed it down to the InSim causing it but I'm not entirely sure.
edited to add: I'm not sure about the clothing thing, I haven't had my sims use the online shopping option yet because I use JM's clothingtool but if I have a chance to try that out later tonight, I will let you know how it went. (sorry I'm at work now...stupid work)

Hmm, I really hope it isn't the PC causing the running, since I'd hate to have to give it up :-(
Another weird thing that happened last night is that when my family's second kid went from toddler to child, he turned out to have pointy ears! Neither parent has elven ears, so I dunno where he got that from. Mondo bizzaro indeed!

I have the PC thing, but I just downloaded it the other day. My sims have been running around (only certain sims, though, it seems) for a while.
