Thanks for the link Metalkatt. 

Stupid question.  What do you change in Simpe to match the maxis ones?  I've binned hair and know what to change for those, but I didn't know you could do this with eye colors.

ThyGuy I get what you are saying.  I was in the IT field for almost 10 years.  I have to be more patient and understanding with folks that just do not have the experience I do.  Not everyone is computer savvy.

I also over look or forget things myself, stupid things, and get quite embarrassed when I do. 

ThyGuy, I'm not sure what the reason for such a hostile response was, but relax.

Thanks jsalemi, I should have done that before. I'm not sure why I didn't. 

I know that some folks here and there have gone looking for Louis's Self-makeup #7 Skin Tones and have been unable to find them.  They used to be up on the Exchange but have since been removed.

A while back Louis had given permission for folks to share their files so I have taken the liberty of doing so.

Sim Scribbling - Louis Self-makeup #7 Skin Tones are available here.

I use both because some websites do not support Firefox.

IE7 is slow as all get out and I get debug errors a lot.  It pisses me off, but does not surprise me.

Tell me about.  My cat, Teeny Tiny Taki, is only 4 1/2 pounds, but good lord what a terror she can be.  She gets the Squirrelly Wrath going and my other cats run like hell and they are twice as big as her.    My 15 pound cat is very much afraid of her. 

I just did it not too long ago.  I did it purposely to see what would happen.  I installed the games in a weird order and had no issues.  As a matter of fact I installed The Sims, then University, Glamour Life, OFB and then NL.  Even though I installed NL last I still had to use the latest EP CD which at the time was GL.  It asked for it when I tried to use the NL CD. I also installed each corisponding patch directly after each EP I loaded. 

I didn't install them with my The Sims 2 folder in place though.  I moved it prior to the installations and moved it back after running the game once.  All of my neighborhoods, CC and Sims were intact and I had no issues.  Thankfully. 

That sounds like your caps lock key has been remapped.  Have you recently scanned for viruses?  I have heard that there are Trojans that can do this, but I cannot seem to find out for sure if this is true.

Which EP are you running?  If you are running Pets did you just recently load it while leaving in your existing The Sims 2 folder?  Do you have any hacks at all in your game?  Did you recently download a house?  Have you tried moving your downloads folder over to your desktop and tried loading the game?  Is this happening on just one lot or all of them?  Have you tried deleting your groups.cache and cigen.package files from The Sims 2 folder?

Sorry for all the questions, but a little more info would help diagnose the problem. 

I wonder if there is a way to have them only pee on dirt or grass, not any other type of flooring.  You also wouldn't want your dog peeing on a patio or a driveway.

Thanks.  I still feel like I'm forgetting some though. 

EDIT:

FYI - I am trying to keep this updated on a daily basis.

I totally know where you are coming from.  I lived in Spartanburg, SC for a year and was simply dumbfounded by the idiots there.  It wasn't just some of the folks, it was all of them.  Of course there were a lot of folks, "keeping it in the family" there too. 

I also lived next door to a red robed member of the KKK.  I was very excited to leave SC.  You could not pay me to ever live there again. I'll stick with redneck Virginia.

I have their hairs and they look great in game.  I stumbled across them some time ago and was way excited about it. 

I got tired of trying to keep track of the updates for all of my favorite modders so I made a compilation of links.  I hope this helps others as well in checking for updates for Pets.

Cool, I'll just blame it on Maxis EA.  Just another fuck up on their end. 

Actually I suppose if it was a T&L issue the mirrors wouldn't reflect and mine do reflect. 

Maybe they'll put out a patch for it a few months from now that will in turn break something else that will never get fixed. 

I have the same issue and I am using a Radeon x600.  I am also using a laptop with a pent 4. 2.2 GHz processor with 1 gig of ram.

It is not the processor or memory and I am using the same settings in this game as I am on my primary desktop PC.  So it is not the settings in the game either. 

It has to be the graphics card and/or driver.  Great. 

EDIT:

My card does not support hardware T&L and this is why the objects are dull.  I would assume that is the issue with the other video cards used that are having the same issue.  The only thing to do would be to upgrade the card.

I can relate to that.  One of my cats used to sleep with me, but he decided that the whole queen size bed was his.  He would flake out on it all stretched out in the middle of the bed.  I couldn't sleep because he kept pushing me and what not. 

He cried and clawed at my door for about two weeks after I booted him and closed the door.  He finally gave up. 

I would prefer that dogs stay off the human beds entirely.  Dog are stinky.  Phew. 

I added this hack into my game (OFB & GLS) and I still get the animations and they wont stand still.  Crap. 

Oh wow gethane, I really like the look and layout of this one.

Thanks for sharing it.  I love Maxis Only houses because it is much easier then having to run around downloading custom meshes for custom objects.

Thanks so much.
