A whole new level of borked! Yay. Points Break Primitive?

I've had missing faces. Jordi's fix works - you change them into full face paint and change them out again.
Sticking plaster on a major wound in this case I think.

did you patch family fun?
It's been a while since anyone's talked about Family Fun.. I'd completely blanked on there being a patch for it. We pulled all cc, burninated the Legacy 'hood and held onto the wife's playground. Her's seems to be doing fine now, but something's rotten in one of my downloads folders, so I'm going to go through it piece by piece later and see if I can't narrow down the file. When we were looking for the culprit(s) I opened CAS. Two squares into loading, it terminated. This is the method we used to narrow down which file was causing that problem.. When I opened a Maxis neighborhood, faces showed properly after Change Appearance and when returning to the mirror for Change Appearance again, everything was still there.

You know something, that was the first thing I tried. LOL
I'd read about it here, so when the face in the status window poofed, I sent him back to the mirror, but when he arrived, it was showing a maxis face, no makeup, no custom eye color, not even a maxis eye color. Just the slightly off-brown eyes that were part of his skin.

Install it in the EAxian order.
TS2->Uni->NL->FFS->OFB->GL->Pets->Seasons
I was under the MATY impression that this was Lies and Propaganda?

I suppose if you don't actually play the game in between installs, you could install them in any order. The problem is that you still have to share the actual neighborhood data between different installs (which is the part I assume has been clobbered).

You probably already read it, but on the change appearance into facepaint, I got some sort of default face in facepaint, it was the change back that gave the correct face. Disappointing that it didn't work for you.

There isn't total agreement I think. EA say you can install in any order. Best I've understood things, installing in EAxian order patching as you go, gives you the best possible set of code. I think that's what Jordi goes with. Patches fix their EP, adding new EP's adds new code in another directory and doesn't fix the old stuff because it's not using it any more. I think it was Jordi who said a new EP fixed the old objects package not the rest. So how high is your level of trust in Maxoids' ability to track what they changed and not refer back to unfixed code? Me, I go with "install in order patching as you go" unless that's really inconvenient in which case don't bother.

Family Fun Stuff comes after Open For Business. I'm sure as I got stuck playing with the FFS CD - which worked out well enough because I could give the OFB disk to my daughter.
I also installed both FFS and GL out of order. I wanted to play with the OFB disk - don't like the opening for FFS, but it wouldn't let me. Then thought I'd try and play from the GL disk and give the Seasons one to my daughter but noooo, no luck there, either (yes I knew it was a lost cause but tried anyways). No ill effects from installing them backwards. All the EPs in order and patches between except the 2nd Pets patch which I haven't installed.
