I don't have an answer, but I have a suggestion: Don't use Norton. It's terrible.

There's a "rename" cheat, yes.

I will help you by saying "It doesn't work like that, idiot.". First of all: Antiredundancy IS necessary to avoid a BFBVBS if you expect to play your neighbourhood very long. Furthermore, running out of any NPC will force the game to generate a new one. Corruption will not, unless I am VERY much mistaken, occur. Also, don't create a new thread just because nobody responded to your first one.

Do you have patched version? One Gus Smedstad reported this problem in "Patch Weirdness"; search is your friend

"Fill in"? Don't you mean "create more"? This IS still EAxis we're talking about, after all.

You do not buy them or get them - you will sometimes find a black hole, and, if you have the key, you can fly through it to get somewhere else. If I am not mistaken, black-hole generation is totally sadorandom.

It isn't downloading back things you have deleted, the problem is that earlier stages cannot be deleted. Every time you edit your creature, it saves a copy of the old version; these copies are hidden and therefore difficult to delete. If you toggle "Buddy Content" off and then on again (or vice-versa) in the options, you should be able to see them and delete them, but I may be remembering incorrectly.

By the gods, are you retarded? Seriously. Who could possibly be this stupid? Probably a sock; my money is on The Tard's sock, sent to make her seem wonderful in comparison, so that her return would be made better for her.

Get the hell off of my internet until you learn English. I am not at all surprised to learn that you are "totally stoned", since you seem to have the mental capacity to match.

The little "Patching Files..." dialogue box obscured the latter sentence of your post. Seeing only "I'm hoping they add fish.", I immediately thought "So long, and thanks for all the fish.". Will have to enter space stage as a Vogon now, hunt down the Splotch-Earth, and destroy it.

Pescado generally only makes the things he actually wants in his game. Why can't you just use macro.../concentrate?

Ellatrue: You may have a better shot by downloading the png that you click to make the large preview window appear; I can't actually test this out, but it seems that those pics are the "xyzcreature.png" to your "xyzcreature_lg.png".

It seems to me that the problem isn't "wanting" to fish, but actually undertaking the fishing action in the spot where the pond used to be. Of course, that would be a little difficult to figure out considering the poster has negative grammar, which is of course less grammar than none at all. For the record: queue != cue. A queue is best defined as a "lineup", a list where items are constantly processed from the head and new items are added to the tail, whereas a cue can be the stick with which one plays pool, or a signal of some sort.

If I recall, that's true of deleting UNI subhoods if and only if you have another UNI subhood around for the dormies to be shuffled into by the game, or something to that effect. It might be true of BV subhoods and others as well, but definitely only if you have another one. More than likely, though, it's not possible at all.

I NOMinate MATY itself, which poses to the greater unwashed, uneducated masses as a paysite, but is actually the forum in which I am posting right now.

So, now that the splotchen are overtaking torrent sites and the world at large, did anyone ever figure out how to excise the data from Splotchcritter image files?
(For the record, my computer username is not my own name or even something remotely dangerous in the hands of others, but I like mah privacy.)

You mean Didgeridoos?
(No, I have nothing of value to say beyond that.)

May I humbly suggest that Skata here be painfully spayed/neutered with a rusty farming implement?

What are you talking about?  TS3 will be the bestest game EVAR!

(Credit goes to The Literate Base. If you don't get it, read MOAR #grah.)

If I recall correctly, the game doesn't prevent aliens from overheating at all, since there's no difference between them and other sims besides skintone. It's just Prima Guide L&P. Check the warmth thread in the War Room for more.

If you are skilled with regedit.exe, however, you can change the registry pointers to point to the new locations. To do so, simply choose the "Run" command from the start menu and type "regedit", and then edit the registry pointers you need to change.

So... I've got Seasons installed and working fine, so I decided I might as well take  a leap and install BV and maybe FT as well. These are my concerns, though:

I have Squinge stuff. I don't know if it's safe to use or not. It isn't much... SavageNoRelChange and SpyOnNeighbours.

I have Crammyboy's nudist mod. It's been updated for BV and FT, but apparently the FT version I found conflicts with an Awesome Hack, and I can't have that. I can live without it, I suppose, but I'd rather not.

Umm... I guess these are my only major concerns at the moment. As you can see, I'm not exactly used to this whole going-through-everything-in-Downloads-and-making-sure-it's-all-up-to-date thing... I played with Pets as my latest expansion for practically eternity.

So prove them right! There are very few problems that cannot be solved by liberal application of Molotov's party drinks.

Do you have Paladin's servo chore controller thing? I vaguely remember hearing that that caused a problem like your own when used in conjunction with nobabyharassment.

The game will generate any kind of premade sim, including, presumably, strays, if it feels that it needs one. That's my guess as to what happened. If that is what happened, now that it has one, it will just bring that one in until such a time when that one is adopted or dies. Besides, if nostrayregen had stopped working, you'd get a horrendous lag as the game tries to generate every single stray that it has just realised is missing, not a few seconds' lag and one cat.
