Thanks for the reply!  I had not even thought of using PSP for screen captures.  I set it up so that each screen shot I take is dumped into PSP.  Thanks for the help. 

I am currently in the middle of making a story and I am not pleased with the largest size of the snapshots taken in game.  Is there any configuration I could edit to increase the size of the snapshots I am taking?  I have looked around but cannot seem to find anywhere that this has been discussed.  I apologize if it has.

I know I could used the print screen function, but that is rather inefficient and a pain.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I never installed the Pets patch.  I installed Seasons without it and then ran the patch for Seasons.  So far I have had no issues.

I kept spawning plant babies from rose after I got all of her skills maxed.  Once the plant toddler has grown I then move it out and in with one of my regular sims and use them to tend gardens, sell paintings, toys and flowers for extra income.  It works out quite nicely.

The link does not work.

I have had a lot of folks think I'm a guy and I never corrected them.  It's one of those things that has never bothered me.  I think it's funny. 

Ok then.  Sorry to have offended you so.    All fixed.

Thanks, this is greatly appreciated.  I had removed Pets after the patch fiasco.  Once I reinstalled Pets sans the patch I realized they had taken it down. 

Thanks again.

That is what I am hoping for but not holding my breath.  I would think they would need to put out one patch for those with Seasons and one for just Pets because the new EP is coming out before they can patch their patch. 

Damn, I never thought to just type it in the path field.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the info.  I had not realized it was setup this way.

So I need to go ahead and bite the bullet and install the Pets patch prior to loading Season's and hope the fix they come out with will work with Seasons.

Pescado is right.  It is most assuredly a "Dumb Isz-type Problem".  I am using ZipGenius and it sucks.  I get weird errors every so often.  I just wanted a utility that handled both zips and rars.  I didn't like Winrar because it does not allow you to create directories like Winzip does.

Does 7-zip allow you to make the directories you wish to extract the files to?

More than likely.

Same here. When installing EP's it always say it's up to date even though I have not installed any patches.  I'm not concerned about it forcing me to run the Pets update as it's never done that with any other EP.

Here is the error I got.  It is altogether possible it is on my end.

I've already prepped my game for Seasons.  I have removed all hacks and hacked objects and more than half of the CC.  I went through my CC, all 7 gigs of it.     I will however be pulling my downloads folder prior to installation.  I am starting from scratch on this one.  I took out all of my neighborhoods so I could start with a clean slate.

Hopefully the less whiny and what's this hacks will work.  Those are the two hacks that I will go crazy without.  I did this with Pets so I could test hacks and I plan on doing that again with Seasons.

I am using Firefox and had to download them all and then start with the first rar file.  I kept getting weird errors when I tried to extract them without having downloaded them all, but I don't recall what the errors said.

Hey, I never post over there so I suppose I could do it.  I have never made a topic so what area should I put it?  I'll never post over there so I could care less if they ban me. 

Why would they ban me?

I uninstalled Pets after the fiasco with the patch and reloaded Pets sans the patch.  I get Seasons this week and will load it over the unpatched version of Pets.  Will this mean I'm screwed or what? 

I don't use pets in my game so I suppose it really will not matter.

So what happens for those that buy Seasons and had updated their Pets with the broken patch?  You wont be able to install the fix for the Pets patch should they put one out.  You would have already installed Seasons and not be able to patch the Pets patch.

For the love of old ladies having heart attacks!  Oh no, I've gone cross eyed. 

Oops, sorry.  I must have had my head up my butt and didn't read the thread thoroughly. 

Thank you.

I'm sorry, I am unfamiliar with the Yahoo group.    May I ask what the URL is?

Thanks.

What, defense against myself?    That was when I was young, dumb and full of myself and made stupid mistakes. Now I'm older, smarter but still full of myself.

I've suffered enough.  I've been homeless on a couple occasion and lost all of my belongings save a suitcase full of clothes several times as well so I'm done with all that.  I'll take the debt any day to have a nice house in a nice neighborhood to live in.

I've been playing for hours and no lock ups.  I did notice something though.  When I place Inge's automatic curtains up the weird streaking blue things started up again.  It stopped after I took them down.  That could just be a coincidence.
