On getting rid of duplicate Maxis Bin people and Ottomas...
Writin_Reg:
(Phyllis - I don't hold grudges - you were just doing your job and I know and respect that. I thank everyone for the help - I feel so utterly inadequate today. I believe in letting bygones be bygones, and do not see you - here - in the same vein as the you who was on the BBS. It appears there are no more SM's on the BBS anyway.)
Actually I did have my pc passworded, "showing refaced stupidity" I erred in judgment, and had phailed at reinabling it after hubby did some work on my pc during the weekend. I was not concerned, as the "girl" is at least 23 and she brought a laptop with her. She had asked permission to use my desk and my internet which I had no problem with. I did not say don't touch my pc, as who would think it was necessary. Adding insult to injury is the fact I paid her well, tipping her over her asking fee.
But no sense in dwelling. I just need to get my stuff back up and functioning and I really appreciate all the advice. So as far as the Ottoma's then I should be all set - as I have all the patches and installed them with their respective packs. After I put in the M & G no dvd I started the game and all is functioning properly and the settings are set to my normal. I have not installed my own custom hoods yet, as I want to deal with all those stupid duplicates in the bins first in the Maxis hoods, as they just annoy me sitting there in the bin. Now I have the teleporter - I downloaded the top one on the page that says it was updated for AL. Is there going to be any problem with that as I have M & G and the crack for same?

I don't have any problems using the AL cat with M&G.

I zipped up all the stupid ugly Maxis people and pets and most of the Maxis 'hoods (except the Vacation 'hoods and the Hobby 'hood) and deleted them. As long as you don't reset the Sim Index, everything is fine.
The only thing I left was the pitifully few puppies and kittens in the adoption pool. However, I might delete them too, since I now have a fix (Christianlv's Puppy/Kitten Generator, then call the officer for a large pick up).
J. M. Pescado:
The original messed-up Ottomas WILL inflict carnage upon the order of your game files. While not particularly irreparable (you can just deleted-2 the entire mess and they are gone, messed up genetics and family-tree disasters included), you DO have to do something about it.
Also, in the future, always not only back up your computer and lock it, but physically remove the hard drives and rig the computer to explode if tampered with. That's what I do. As you've clearly learned from this example, it's not paranoia when they really ARE out to get you! My habit of distrust and paranoia has never failed me. A little trust goes a long way: The less you use, the farther you go. People who have visited me in the past have learned NEVER TO TOUCH ANYTHING or IT WILL EXPLODE. Even the most trivial of things is warded against possible theft with extreme measures. I have bolted paper plates and plastic sporks to the furniture with explosive bolts to discourage theft. While it is unclear to me why someone would WANT to steal that, it NEVER HURTS to send a strong message in advance!
