Baaaaah!
thanks for the point in the right direction. this should be interesting seeing as i have no idea what i'm doing.

Edit: just thought i'd come back, say i failed, and say that i found someone at MTS2 who had done it so i didn't have to keep tring.
:/ my finger slipped and loaded the neighborhood files, yay for me. I had to re-install seasons

ever since the install of seasons i've had my sims dropping every action unless i constantly keep an eye on them.
and i had a dog sinking into the ground. Do you have seasons? The game throws a wobbly when it tries to fool with the temp gauge that the dog doesn't have when it uses the water wiggler from ofb, theres a fix for that around here somewhere. but this is all the input on these problems i have in my tiny brain

i have seen inges dripping mod, untill i saw that i wasn't even aware the sinks dripped, making me beleive i may have had this problem for some time, i may only have just started noticeing as i have just been leaving the cheat box open.
But the drip is not the only sound error, theres also one that comes up when i buy something, the "kaching" noise is still there but i get the error anyway... i think its the bit that says something about it being there twice or some such >_< I'm compltely non-program savvy. I have a couple friends for tech support, but it doesn't do many any good with the sims

ah, this should give me a headache. but hey, i get to learn something new

I'm guessing you have the first holiday pack as only the santa outfits are enabled.
But what about the ones that were in the 2nd holiday pack?
the long santa coats and the kimonos and hakamas?.
And how about the child elf outfits, Wouldn't seem right to have it snowing and the "elves" running around without their elf outfits. :p
my santa has a toy shop and "elf labor"
i may be too dumb but if you point me to how you set them I can try to do it myself

this has been a problem for awhile. Multiple Sound errors showing up in debug mode, i have been ignoreing it as to start all i noticed was when i bought something there was a sound error, now the sink drip as well as others i'm sure, and as the drip is sorta constant so are the errors running in my window. I need to know what is causing this or, what files i need to pull from the cds to replace whatever is the problem.

Edit: I was having a constrainfloorelevation problem(as in couldn't use it at all) that i had thought was connected with celebration but strangely seems to be restricted to one lot. So as long as that problem isn't going to pop up again i'm not worried about it

those are Nouks dread i think.

my sims are dropping Queues anyway, right and left, no matter what their action is supposed to be. So it may just be seasons you are experianceing and something you can't do anything about if you play freewill and don't use somekind of micro manager.
I think it may have something to do with how sims are now supposed to be more inclined to do certain activities because of what the weather is or go cool themsleves off or some such...they may have over tweaked it and its now giving the rest of us a headache from having to constantly move between sims to make sure they realy are doing what they're supposed to. They dump activities they should be quite happy to do for as long as they're mood stays up. I even tested this by keeping needs up, and they dump anyway, and then go do something that they realy don't need right now, cooking when they're only half empty and their bladder is in desperation that sortathing

yes you did ...i was just giving the whole thing as "this is indeed verified information" ...and some use needs to come from that damn prima guide ...

this from the prima guide:
"Community lots also have seasons and, like neighborhoods, they're determined by the last saved home lot. If Sims leave home in spring, it'll be spring on whatever community lot they visit.
Seasons can't however, change while your sim is visiting. Lets say your sim left home at 11:45pm on the last day of spring and stayed on a community lot until noon the next day. Though it seems like it should be the next season, the home lots season remains frozen in time until your sim returns to it. even if the move directly to another community lot, the saved home lots season persists"

So yeah, seasons change on community lots, weather change (sunny,rain, snow what ever is appropriate to the season") will happen on community but the season is set at the home lot, if you want their vacacion place to be in winter well it needs to be winter at home before you leave.
No aging on community and the time on your home lot will be the same time\day you left it i beleive, because say Herman has a preggy wife about to give birth at home, he leaves and he manages to stay for a sim week on a community lot. What happened with his wife and baby? If aging were on, he could return to his wife and child an old man his whole life spent away from home.

i case someone comes back in here.
Pescado said he was going to take a look at the file to see if it did what it claimed.
Has he reported his findings anywhere? ...as i don't get the time to peruse the threads properly I thought it possible i may have missed him mentioning something somewhere.

i've had no problem getting wolves since seasons, i don't have wolfwatchers installed however. One knowledge sim and he gets atleast a wolf a day, the LOTP had showed up on the third day, suprising the hell outta me, as he didn't get to interact with the first wolf very much

i've had jump bugs since the install of seasons. pets jumping, snowball fights jumping ...yadda yadda ..haven't explored the whole thing yet as my boyfriend is greedy and wants time on my computer  plus nasty work coming between me and my gaming time ...damn it.
did find out that alias's buyable ofb objects was causeing a jump with plant sims and the waterwiggler ...so one jump narrowed down

people on another community i frequent are complaning of problems starting the game after the patch.
one can't get body shop or seasons to run, anothers game keeps asking for a disk when shes got digital download ...these could be caused by their own errors however

oh that would be a fun way to clean up your files. can it be done? Probably as i just remembered thats basicly what the NL-unpatched gypsy potion would do to your sim, they would just *poof* disappear off the face of sim earth.

read several reasons for this.
faulty Custom eyebrows and default custom eyebrows
custom skins and default of same.
corrupted game file ...can't remember which one though.

you can install the pets patch with seasons installed no problem, just gives a little warning that says you have a newer expansion you may want to get a patch for that one

or you can stick to the fixes found here ...which also work

of all the errors and bullshit going on with this game they fix three things? ...i mean yeah, the little demon spawns screaming stopping is a good thing, but come on.
They have all those employees and this is all they come up with in the time they've had? I feel so sorry for all those exchange sheep...

this is totally the reason why JM is way more awesome...

get Insim? errr object addition, as its having the least amount of issues. theres a thing on there to change appearances. i think its the one in the shape of an hour glass

that happens when you wait too long after the little count down is over to put in the code :/ happens to me too as i have baaaaad ADD

yah. i just had this experiance myself. one of Enayla pixie skins on a sim i turned into a plant, had him abducted (maxis defaults by mistake) got him to have twins, one baby green one with his pixie skin. unsure which came first however ..and ugly as all hell, pixie skin one looks like micheal jackson.

if thats the same Denimjo that posted a wcif on sims2community i sent him the more dangerous scissors( at least i should think so as the file was from july2006)  so anyone else interested PM me.

on a side note there is a more dangerous cow plant on mts2

i've had like 4-6 wolves on a lot at a time.
two black, two multi, atleast one white (i know i've had two white on one lot at some point but it wasn't the same neighborhood, so i'm not sure if both neighborhoods have two whites) and the alpha. ...i'm quite fond of trees 

someone made a see-through mirror so maybe. but as i know shit about programming sooo, yeah. not for me to know

also a good link http://ts2downloads.freespaces.com/ ..official pre-orders here as well. but the other site has listings of international downloads, pulled-downloads and last i looked most of the pre-order stuff

i also feel pretty bad for those Lucus and Andy guys ...its like they took their features and then pushed them to the extremes ...i checked out their site, they're actualy pretty good looking ...stuck their sims music video in my game too. they had to have used some other program with the sims 2, to do that video ...
