When buying clothing, the clothing dummy is sunk

Oh and I have another bug which might be my fault. When I change a Sim appearance with the mirror the changes do not move to the character picture in the control panel....that could be because I made the entire TSData folders in both the Sims 2 and the Sims 2 University folders in the Programs/EA Games directory read only (write protected). Silly me I know but I thought that would be a good idea at the time...how can I undo it...without cancelling read only on every single thing (I am sure some of those files were read only from the beginning for a purpose).
Just right-click on the containing folder, choose Properties, then uncheck the read-only box, click on Advanced, Click OK, then click Apply. This should make all the files in the folder readable.

The sunken dummy issue is definitely a clothing mesh problem. I've had it quite a few times. I usually find the clothes that have the thumbnail of a Maxis default when it's supposed to be custom made. As soon as I delete the offending mesh/clothes, my dummy is fixed again.

It's meshes. I've had this happen to me, too. It does this when an outfit has a bad mash or no mesh. Sometime's I've downloaded something with no mesh because the designer used someone's else's mesh and assumed I have it already. :( Sometimes I just can't remember if I have already downloaded that dress from MTS2 or that hairstyle from WDS or whatever. So, it happens.
I had it happen with a hairstyle too. I had downloaded a beautiful long hairstyle, and it said the original was created by Brianna at WDS. It also said the mesh was with the file. (Can't remember where I got it, not MTS2, not here, not VariousSimmers. it was some other site I don't frequent.) The hairstyle showed up in the custom content window as the straight-long-black hair, and my sim would be bald or have the default hair. I went to WDS and got Brianna's original mesh and it works great, and her styles were prettier and moved more realisticly than the 1st ones I had downloaded. :) So, maybe you can find the orginial mesh for those clothes that are not working, and see if that fixes the problem?
Also, when that happens to me, I can still scroll through the clothes and choose other outfits. Is your game freezing up after your sim drops? You said you can't choose other clothes.
