126  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: Missing Adventurer career? on: 2007 May 31, 12:10:39
When the game decides what jobs it is going to offer on a job search, does it take into account the career wants of all Sims on the lot or just the one searching the first time that day?
I often find that when Sim A does the first job search of the day, her wanted career won't be available, but Sim B's wanted career is. That of course could just be chance....

Thanks, I hadn't thought of that. I don't know if vanity tables can be placed on community lots, but it is worth a try.  Grin

I found that the playables were still black and crispy when I went to their home lots, too.

LOL, yeah, that's a pain, too. I had a crispy Nina Caliente running around my neighborhood for awhile, lol.
Just after I posted yesterday, I went to play & found one of my crispy townies on a DT lot, getting into a hot tub (an indoor hottub, this time, lol). Getting into the water washed his hair but not his face, lol.

The thing that's driving me crazy about the townies who get struck on community lots but don't die is that they go around forever with the burnt hair & face. They somehow manage to get their clothes repaired & cleaned before showing up later on other lots, lol, but don't get around to showering.
130  TS2: Burnination / Oops! You Broke It! / Re: Toasting bug? Is this a known issue with Seasons? on: 2007 May 01, 17:08:21
I've had the 'toasting bug' issue happen on several different lots, and it happens with Sims seated on regular dining chairs as well as the booth style seats. It does seem to mostly happen when the Sims are seated side by side & not across the table. It doesn't happen every time there are Sims seated side by side, but it happens. I haven't done a real scientific study of this, but I find that if I make an effort to only start a toast when the Sims aren't holding a menu or glass of water, it works fine. I don't toast as a staple activity on dates, but I do use it fairly often & have seen the 'bug' several times.

That has been hapening to me since NL, and has happened while playing with no custom content at all, so I figured it was a game bug. It seems to happen most when the Sims are seated side by side rather than across from each other, but it doesn't happen every time they are seated side by side. Sometimes when I'm on a date with a Sim that really isn't very hungry but has the 'dine out with' Want, I'll actually do the toast interaction before the food is served, hoping they will have the error, that way they get the aspiration satisfied & the Wants rolled, without having to sit & watch them eat & yap for an hour, lol. But when you actually want them to finish the meal, it is a pain, lol.
132  TS2: Burnination / Oops! You Broke It! / Re: No memories of adopting a stray? on: 2007 April 12, 12:21:17
I had a similar issue with John Burb..it was during summer so he had very quickly built up friendship points with a stray cat called Sake. He got the want for Sake to join the family & the 'adopt' was available in the interaction menu. Sake was adopted & is now part of the family, but John's want was not satisfied by it.
It was a mild bummer, lol, but I wanted to adopt Sake before John did, so my want got satisfied, anyway, lol. I don't remember now if there was a Sake joined the family memory, I just remember John's want for it hung around unsatisfied for a day after Sake was adopted.
133  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: Excessive Pranking In Spring Season? on: 2007 March 27, 12:12:24
I was being driven nuts by the pranking too, so I installed the antiprank hack, despite it not being in the director's cut. So far it has worked for me, the excess pranking has stopped & I haven't noticed any problems.
134  TS2: Burnination / Oops! You Broke It! / Re: Cannot either run or uninstall Seasons on: 2007 March 13, 11:59:26
Thanks for the help Kat!  Grin
Before reading this, I actually did just throw the Seasons folder in the trash & reinstall the ep, and it worked. LOL, at least, for now it worked: it was working fine after the original installation before it told me the installation was corrupted. So I'm sure I'm going to have to go back & do it the right way, lol.
Thank you so much for the link, it's a huge help.  Grin
135  TS2: Burnination / Oops! You Broke It! / Re: Cannot either run or uninstall Seasons on: 2007 March 12, 22:57:58
I'm only trying to uninstall Seasons, the last ep. The problem is the uninstaller won't run.
Would it actually work to just manually take the Seasons folder & send it to the trash?
LOL, that is how you uninstall things on a Mac, I didn't realize that you could do that on a PC as well. I'm new to Windows, I got a PC because I'm giving up on gaming on a Mac.
making me an extra-newbie, I guess, lol, new to Sims 2 & XP at he same time.

I've had Seasons installed since Saturday, and I've been playing it with no issues. Then today I put the Seasons disk in & it tried to run the installer. I cancelled that before installation began & tried to run the game through Start/All Programs/EAGames and I got a window saying 'needed files were corrupted during installation' and that I would have to reinstall the application. Angry

So, I backed up my neighborhood & tried to run the Seasons uninstaller, so I could reinstall it. But the uninstaller will not run. I tried running it through the Start/All Programs and I also tried going into my C drive and trying to run it from there, but in both cases, nothing happened. Angry

If I try to install the ep & set it to install in the default location, it tells me it can't install there because I already have a folder of that name in that location. I could choose to install it under a different name, but I'm sure that would not help, since I can't uninstall the 'corrupted' installation.
So I'm really at a loss at what to try now. The game was fine yesterday.  Roll Eyes
