There can be only one Emperor of Evil because more than one makes you a Duke of Annoyance or something. So obvious! However EAxis has messed up if a that neurotic mess of a character can make it higher than you. Does she laugh maniacally while she is checking if she left the oven on?

Is there a fix to make non-player sims be made of FAIL? They shouldn't outclass a player run sim.

I don't mind the glowing, anything is better than the default. Does no one at EAxis have any taste? Wait...why do I even bother asking that?

Thank you for the fix.

I know EA is full of f-tards, but really, can they not do basic math?

At least it looks slightly more human than the default ones. color can be tweaked, but detail in the skins is truly necessary.

Anything is better than the dead fish eyes and yours look pretty darn good!

Now that is a hack I would LOVE to have! I hate setting up my sims with all the attractions etc for supernatural love, only to have them constantly want their spouse to be cured! Or to be constantly afraid of becoming one themselves! How does this make any sense? Why only knowledge sims? Wouldn't pleasure sims love to be vampires? Eaxis, you make no sense!

And why is cannibalism seen as a BAD thing anyway? If you have extra people, it makes sense to eat the leftovers. Waste not, want not, I always say.

Or you can do what I do, which is cheat massively. Simlogical's heirloom cake to age them up when I get bored of babyhood or toddler evil, Monique's computer to get them into private school and Merola's painting to give them an A plus immediately. I also like the bribe the headmaster apple if there is an actual want on a parent's part to get them into private school. I haven't bothered with a headmaster since the base game. Too darn much work.

Honestly, none of my bodyshop CC has ever really shown up in my games. I made a separate "savedsims" folder and put all the cc for bodyshop into that one, it stopped all my problems.

Been there, fed that! LOL

Even if the driveways weren't carried over, you can download them now anyway, so it doesn't really matter. But they had to have included them for the repair auto feature. I just wish that they had unlocked controlling pets in FT, so I didn't have to keep typing in "ControlPets on".  I always thought it was stupid that you couldn't control your sims' pets.

Thank you for telling me this. I have been going crazy trying to figure out why all these random strangers were showing up at all hours of the day and night, waking up my sims and making me irritable. Backfire on the wish. GOT IT! How I hate EAxis for that! Is there a fix so that the stupid lamp doesn't mess you up?

It may not be meant to , but I have found that it certainly does! In order to get some of my two bolt couples up to three bolts, I have been giving them either the same secondary wants, or their spouses primary want as their secondary one, hasn't failed yet to get the bolts to multiply. So, it is definitely a factor.

John Mole seems to be a problem on every board I am on, buy the way. 

Okay, I was smoking crack again. This is a hack conflict of some sort. I scoured my folders and removed all cc and everything worked fine. Putting back in all the objects and not the hacks leaves me with a fine working game. Some hack somewhere (probably a not awesome one) is killing my game. Off to figure it out.

So, I have taken out my whole downloads folder and this problem still keeps happening. Could someone read through the whole error log and tell me what it means? What is age node 3 and why is it borked?

Please help me before I go on a shooting spree and kill the entire Maxis/EA development team.

I have it on all my lots, to the extent that my three year old niece comes over and plays "find the batman box" on my lots and squeals when she finds it. LOL I would not play without it, EAxis borks far too many things and I would be homicidal without it.

So took out all my downloads and it worked...for a while. Then I put back in the stuff I actually knew was safe and it borked on loading a community lot. I am so confuzzled. I go to dig through my downloads folder again.

tentacles? How bizarre. I will scratch everything and try again.

How do you explain then that a Maxis lot is the one not loading now as my imported family was trying to move into a new house? I keep getting this curtain thing, but I really don't think that it has anything to do with curtains. Can someone look into this with me, because I cannot seem to play any imported families and custom lots at all right now. They will work for a while, but get a little borked as I play, object interaction errors, etc and then when I try to move them into a new lot it is completely FUBAR. Please help! I have very few dowloaded objects and I removed all hacks et al.

How do you remove something from a lot if you can't get into the lot?I assume SimPe. or somesuch? What I did was remove my neighborhoods folder, etc, un-install FT and then reinstall it and add everything back in, for some reason this unborks the lots, don't know why, but they all work now. However, when I add new ones this will all have to be repeated, unless I can figure out what the underlying problem is.

Okay, it gave me a message for which I am clueless (not a rare occurrence, admittedly)

"Object id: 244
name: Controller - Lot Load - Curtain Pull-Down
Stack size: 5
Error: Invalid constant."

I have attached the log. Any clue?

Not yet, will go and try now. Sigh. Was hoping to avoid long and drawn out. Its every C lot I have right now.

Is anyone else having trouble with custom lots? I cannot seem to get any of my custom lots to load. If I make in within the game it runs fine, but any lot I download will get stuck in the loading screen forever. I can hear the Sims moving around, flushing toilets etc., but I can't seem to play the lot. Is this like the Pets CAS thing? No pre-FT lots are allowed?

So it's the oxymoron career then?

Have I sworn my undying allegience yet? No? How strange! Let me do so now. I hated the stupid magic delivery man in MM and hate the not so humble jerk in FT. Thank you for removing a big annoyance!

So after I sownloaded the new Maxis patch, I thought to myself, hey, they say this fixes the spawning issue! Guess this means I no longer need Pescado's hack! Ha, ha. They fooled me. I called the gardener and suddenly the game is spawning dozens of gardeners. Sigh. So here I am back again to say, thank you, JM, for keeping me from going on a killing spreee at Maxis. You have kept me out of jail yet again.
