Where is this hair on Rose Sims? I can't seem to find it anywhere, at least in the pay area.

Not too hard. I just went to Sapphire Sims, and I found a whole cornucopia of crap. Here are some samples. (If they're too big, I'll resize 'em.)

(EDIT: Resized, to make them easier to load.)

I suggest downloading it from a torrent site. After all, morally you STILL own the game, no matter what bullshit EA Link may do.

This concerns me as well, since I was told that you can redownload the file anytime you need to. Ugh, I know better than to do THAT next time. I knew I shouldn't have trusted EA. *goes to find Pets on The Pirate Bay*

I didn't go through. Do you have Gmail? Maybe that'll work.

Thank you for warning me about it. I'll try to be careful.

I just checked. My gmail account can receive attachments that big. Feel free to send it over whenever you have the time.

Unfortunately, the versions on there don't seem to have the Download Maid plugin. I think v0.7.9 has it, and TSR doesn't have that.

I am looking for DatGen, mostly so I can check the polygon counts of my downloaded objects, but it seems the original website has bit the dust. Does anyone know where else I can download this program? It would be a lot easier for me rather than looking at each package file individually in SimPE.

I certainly don't mind the scenarios being broken. It just means that I can start altering the families in my own way quicker. I didn't really play the preset neighborhoods until recently, when I checked out what I think was the Dreamer house (the family with all the bills, originally) and found that there were no bills anywhere, even though the popup said something about them.

I also revived Skip Broke, simply for amusement's sake. Is that a bad thing? I don't really care about Pleasantview, but I know it will affect the outcome of the baby.

 I perfer LCDs because images and text show up cleaner (no anti-aliasing), which bugs me with CRTs. I hardly notice a blur on LCDs, and the lack of colors don't seem to interfere too much, even though I do a lot of graphic design. (Sometimes it is a pain to find a good shade of a certain color) CRTs are good for the money, however, so I recommend those if you don't care either way.

Actually, I think whoever said that (maybe Rentech) was stating that as an example on how, heaven forbid, having the names of the creators of CEP in another person's package file is a BAD THING OMG.

Which brings me back to the issue at hand: God forbid some poor chump uses YOUR recolor of a Maxis chair in THEIR house. But if you use someone else's tool to make it possible, is it really a bad thing to have their names in the coding of the file? I somehow doubt the average user will look at the code itself. If they are really holding out for Maxis to "pick them up," then I somehow doubt Maxis would want to hire someone who is so clingy-touchy of their stuff. After all, once your stuff is official, it gets whored out to everyone.

It is. I don't care for the original coloring all that much, but the recolor of it is just what I need for a Sim project I have in mind.

I would use that, but I am afraid that it isn't compatible with JM's vampire fixes.

I hope no one minds if I post a request here, but it isn't too off-topic to this. I am looking for this mesh. Helaene has a wonderful recolor for it, but you know TSR is not free. Feh. Anyone happen to have it?

I think the whole MTS2 server is being slow, because I can't get in either.

But if it is made from custom animations, imagine the possibilities... whenever people stop thinking about Sim porn, that is.

I made a few marriage lots with buffets, and I do believe the Sim that is ordered to "Serve" the food pays for it. As far as I can tell, there are no drawbacks, except for a ton of plates being everywhere and Sims autonomiously wanting to clean up all of them. Keep a sink or a dishwasher nearby for plate removal, so Sims won't treck all the way to the bathrooms.

Is there any way to permanently balance a Sim's male/female attraction and KEEP it that way so they will forever be bisexual despite what gender they may have relationships with? I find it a bit frustrating when I want a female Sim to have a relationship with one gender, and when I want her to be attracted to another gender, she seems relunctant to change her preferences. I'd perfer not having to go into SimPE and balancing the sexual attraction bar everytime she has a relationship.

Any help, perhaps?

Thanks for showing me that. I will certainly give it a try.

*hits the Thanks button*

I have a Nintendo WiFi USB Connector, and when I first starting using it, I couldn't get it to work. However, after checking out the Nintendo WiFi forum, I found out that the server was kind of screwy and many other people couldn't get on as well.

I don't know about PSP, but the DS online server can be kind of odd at times. However, most of the time, it works wonderfully.

BTW, what kind of WiFi DS games do you have? I am always looking for someone to play with.

You know what would be wonderful? A hack that, whenever the phone rings, shows who is calling, and to whom. What would also be nice is the ability to ban certain people from calling. Sometimes my Sims bring home a townie from work, and after I shoo them off, they don't. stop. calling. Argh! It doesn't stop until I kill off the stupid townie.

I was able to delete a premade college that was attached to one of my neighborhoods. However, this was pre-OFB, and I didn't play the area all that much (I thought I could attach a college and not have to worry about premade Sims, but boy was I wrong. Luckily, I have managed to get rid all of them).

Have you tried making a dorm on a residental lot, then using "changeLotZoning" to make it a dorm? I tend to make my own dorms that way, or at least edit current ones so they're less annoying.

Either way, I too would appreciate any links or downloads of any decent dorms. Primarily, any of them that look nice on the outside and have big dorm rooms.

It IS nice, isn't it? Not too long ago, I upgraded my computer's video card from Geforce 4 to Gefore 5500 (I wanted to get a better video card than that, but I wasn't paying for it at the time), and I also upgraded the RAM from 256 to 1.26 GB (I added a stick of 1 GB RAM in there, and I have room for one more stick). Let me tell you, the improvement was amazing. I thought I had a decent computer until I upgraded it.

Yes, Cinematics. I didn't know they existed until I got the better video card. Ha ha, isn't that sad?

Does anyone know where I can find a hack that doesn't let the social worker take children away, or at least doesn't take them away unless they're starving/etc.? I think Inge provided a hack like this, but now she is gone. I have every EP except for OFB. If someone could provide a working hack, that'd be great.

Ever since I got my new graphics card, I've been playing a lot of Sims 2. However, in some of the houses, I've been getting jump bug problems. They start 'jumping' from a variety of tasks, from playing chess, to writing a novel. It might be conflicting hacks, but I am not sure, since I didn't add any sort of new hacks. Attached is an error log I managed to get.

I just got a GeForce FX 5500 card, and it works great with the Sims 2; mine only has 128 MB of memory on it, too. However, I haven't used it extensively yet, but all the graphics settings are on high, so...

It also helped A LOT that I just got a 1 GB stick of memory to add to my 256 MB.
