I had to reinstall my whole game for some reason, and when I got done, I saw that no neighborhood past Seasons shows up.  I still have access to everything from all the XP's and SP's, the game just doesn't run the last few 'hoods.  This is a win in my book.  However, in the interest of possibly helping you, you could use SimPe.  Open the neighborhood browser, then the Sim browser and search for your sim there.

Man, I Have YET to see Old Crumplebuns in my game. Where does she usually hang out?


she also climbs out of the garden club wishing well if a sim is so importunate as to wish for romance too many times.  then she stalks them and beats them up. Smiley

bless everyone who shares, bless simpe, and bless pescado for being the pirate he is.

to get stuff to show in your game (with asterisk, as it doesn't bother me):

open file with simpe.
open objd files RAW data.
if catalog sorting 0x0040 (valid ep flags 1) reads 0x1000, CHANGE it to 0x0001.
commit.
save after doing all objd's in file.

this will make the file base-game compliant and eliminate the need for store downloader.

i forget who originally posted this but bless them too.

merry christmas.   Grin

There's nothing sadder than a toddler with a LTW to woohoo 20 sims, with daily wants to be snuggled... and to buy a bar.  Tongue


thanks for the giggle.

Try putting the line "boolprop useShaders false" in your userStartup.cheat. There's a really annoying NVidia problem with Sims. I get random crashes with SLI'd 6800's if I don't have that line in my userStartup.cheat


cool, thanks!

 Huh

Anyone else notice issues with the above-named video card and the Package Installer?  I'd adjusted the settings so my game would run a little faster (and all my Sims have sparkly edges, but I can deal with that)  and the next time I tried to install some custom walls, my game crashed to the ground, and I got a systems error message relating to the Sims2Pack.  The clean installer was useless also.  All I could think of that I'd done was change the video setting, so I changed it back, rebooted, and now I'm back in business, but I'm still curious.  (Yes, I realize that the card is low-end, but when one lives under a bridge, one takes what one can find.)

Is there a possible connection between the two, or is this a tight pants issue?

numenor has one, but that may be a non-awesome answer...

12  TS2: Burnination / Oops! You Broke It! / Re: Community and Vacation Lots Camera Angles on: 2008 February 14, 20:12:45
Mine works well, but then I have a GunMod's camera hack. Must-get if you like photo taking. That's how I get shots like on my blog.

Oooo, pretty!  I've got a neighborhood camera mod but I think I'll try that one instead.

13  TS2: Burnination / Oops! You Broke It! / Re: Community and Vacation Lots Camera Angles on: 2008 February 14, 20:06:24
Press ctrl and the right mouse button, and you'll be able to change the angle of the camera. It is annoying, I agree, but the fix is easy. Smiley


Thanks so much!   Cheesy
14  TS2: Burnination / Oops! You Broke It! / Community and Vacation Lots Camera Angles on: 2008 February 14, 05:48:26
I was wondering if there's a way to make the camera on Community lots work correctly all the time, instead of stopping at a 45o angle above the lot which makes me dizzy.  I've ignored it as long as I can (it's been an issue since I installed the base game with no hacks and has persisted through 2 computer upgrades) but since it seems to only happen on certain lots, I've been avoiding it by not sending my Sims to those lots.  However, I've noticed it happening on Three Lakes lots lately.

I'm thinking that editing one of the camera texts would help but am not sure what the params should be.
 Huh

Thanks.
15  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: How to get rid of SecuRom, NOW on: 2008 January 09, 21:43:26
The no-CD crack use to avoid issues with it really isn't the biggest problem. It's the fact that many of us now can't bring ourselves to support the francise, but still want the game. And we will get it, even if it doesn't involve money changing hands.  Undecided


's'truth.

Just for someone's (anyone's) eddification, I've managed to locate the files that were borking my game: "anitwatchout", which was already a known problem for Sims walking off the lots, and "teen_woohoo" which was screwing up the want slots.

It has been established in its thread here that there is no problem with antiwatchout and BV; there's another hack causing the walk off lots problem.  And  woohoo_teens has been updated for BV over on the inteen site.  I suggest you do research before blaming the wrong hacks or your own stupidity for not updating them.


Carry on...


what a sweetheart you are.  i just got the ep a couple of days ago.  the woohoo teens is not inteen, fyi.  the antiwatchout was not working in my game before bv, if my sims were able to walk off the lots after i took it out, that tells me that it was a problem.
and you're not bowing low enough to use "namaste" as a signature. 

and i was making a comment about the elder clothes, not asking for your opinion.  opinions are like assholes, you know, everyone has them, and some are nastier than others.

namaste yourself.

love,

Anyway, hope this helps.

Moonlitmaiden's stuff aren't hacks for the games files, they are "recolors" make available to the elders.  I'd prefer something like Motoki's work.



you say that like it's a bad thing.  aside from the added filesize, they look okay.
19  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: Bon Voyage dissatisfaction on: 2007 October 20, 03:10:31
Well, my elder Sims are going to file complaints against EAxis with the AARP for age discrimination!   Roll Eyes

I had sent a wealthy, semi-retired couple to Takemizu Village for a few days.  When they went shopping in preparation for the tea ceremony, low and behold, no kimonos are available for the oldsters!  Not only do kimonos authenticate the ceremony and make for great photo ops, but they are perfect camouflage for those sagging bellies and boobies.

Come to think of it, none of the vacation clothing is available to elders.  Discrimination!!



i've got a mod that makes all the adult clothes available to all adults, eg. young, elder and "regular" ones, but being me i haven't checked it out since i installed bv.  i'm pretty sure i got it at mts2... Tongue
20  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: Bon Voyage dissatisfaction on: 2007 October 19, 21:07:59
i yanked out all my hacks last night, including "antiwatchout"  which i hadn't remembered was in there because it doesn't work, then reloaded the game.  everything worked perfectly.

then i put a few back in that shouldn't have affected the wants slots or the walking function, and simmies can still walk to other lots, but the want slots are borkened again.   not sure which behaviors are affected, although the lotdebugger fixes them temporarily. 
slogging on...   Undecided

Once again, I place the blame squarely on tight pants.

 But I like tight pants.


On men, anyway.

22  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: Bon Voyage dissatisfaction on: 2007 October 17, 01:51:09
IIRC, it was TJ's visitor controller that was the number one culprit of that (walk to lot) problem. He's since updated it.


thanks.  i was trying to figure out which behavior mod could possibly be causing the conflict, and i forgot i had a visitor transporter installed. 
i ran sw's conflict detector but it didn't come up with anything.

*off to get the new hack*

i just installed the ep today so i'm still fixing up the borks. Tongue
23  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: Bon Voyage dissatisfaction on: 2007 October 16, 21:05:52
Has anyone tried walking between lots yet? I've heard of a problem, but I don't know if the person is running hack-free.


i wondered what was up with that.  i tell my sims to walk off the lot, and then the action drops out of their queue.  also, is anyone else having as much trouble with the wants slots as i am?  i don't see any seasons wants at all since i installed bonvoyage, and after the sims get done going thought all the vacation wants, the slots stay empty.
24  TS2: Burnination / Oops! You Broke It! / Re: Gah!!!!! on: 2007 July 27, 17:42:36
 Cheesy

a search with simpe revealed nothing, so i pulled out the last build set i had installed; et voila, the arch came back home.  i'm not really sorry to lose the set, because it wasn't displaying properly anyway (blue is the most annoying color i know, since i started playing sims 2).

now i just have to start yanking out hacks and flinging them back in, to see which ones are borken.  i guess it's better this way; otherwise i'd have to play the game.

Wink
25  TS2: Burnination / Oops! You Broke It! / Re: Gah!!!!! on: 2007 July 27, 05:47:26
thanks.  Smiley



i'll try the simpe thing first.  i'm guessing i can reinstall the original game without having to reinstall all the xps and sps.  at least i hope so since i have all but the h&m sp.



you never can tell what is going to cause trouble, sometimes.  i had to take out "moveoutteens" when i got pets because it overwrote the "find pet job for" in the newspaper.
