add to that: what sometimes won't go up when you need it to? 

Hmmmm maybe thats a good thing to hear then.   

You want a doorstop!? I was running Sims 2 on a P2@450 with a mere 384MB using a geforce 2 gts.    Sims 2 wasn't that horrible, ok it was bad.. but not nearly as bad as trying to do mental ray rendering in max. 

Hmmm I'll skip dma then.  Maybe we should look into a new mod that acts like all-in-one but more up-to-date or at least update the original big time.  I know it doesn't handle the newer pet stuff and seasons stuff.

Hmmm... are there any other useful useable options then?  I tried the "move a bulter in and make him unselectable" but it was rather pathetic.

Also would hackdiff show what is causing these problems?

Ugh that sucks... don't want to deal with useless maids.  Hopefully someone will fix it or create something like it.  btw, how good is that DMA package?

You might want to check that thread once again...  I've gotten so there's 6 sizes, and 4 different states.

I noticed the jaxad no nude react doesn't work with Seasons.  They still shreak, especially funny in a dorm when you can hear them yell from across the lot.

I'm hoping someone finds a way to fix that.  BTW what causes a breakage? conflicting bhav instance ids?

Oh yuck.... I'll have to investigate it down the road when I get BV.  all-in-one is the best way for maid/butlers and throwing away those crappy dorm cooks.

Oh god not the same securom as in Bioshock?

How about the all-in-one npc and custom skintone? Don't think I'd want to live without those two LOL

Jordi, you've got widescreen correct?  Have you managed to make the CAS appear correctly?  On mine the properties tab (the right side panel) is stuck right in the middle of the screen covering up nearly half of the sim.

HAARP-Custom Weather Machine Mod:
http://modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=222799.

Costs 7,000, unlimited reuses, just remember to be in plat mode 

I get those too, especially chairs.  Not currently using Gunmods lighting hack, haven't gotten around to install it.

Widescreen is a bit annoying with Sims, especially the CAS. The properties window appears in the center of the screen, the CAS scene is centered differently than the windows.

Ahh ok, I noticed that, thats whats why I was worried. In that case, I can go ahead and move sims around then.  Make my hoods look more higher scale with more space between lots filled with trees and beautification then. Also help on the poor video card too.  *Happy Camper*

What are the chances the nonlocals (those in subhoods) will walkby on the main hood or other subhoods? I know they visit community lots, I get professors there.
I know Pescado has a hack to prevent it, but I want the exact opposite.  I'd like to eventually spread my lots out instead of everyone squished into one hood.

Too bad that couldn't swap those around, or at least give the 30 friends more aspiration points. Oh well...

Also why is 20 best friends a ltw and 30 best friends is just a plain want, with lower asp points?

Could this interger overflow, throwing the values into the negative range?

Which subforum would be the best place to ask my questions in? Instead of cluttery up this thread.

I could swear I've had it happen to a few other apps, but I'm guessing most of them were due to video driver issues. Oh ya, I was just playing wheel of time earlier this week, got in the mood for it, occasional when you'd launch it, it'd just stall out launching and I'd just reset the computer.

I've updated the bios and disabled uac. I thought I had fixed it, but it reared its ugly head again. Jmicron controller (for the sata/ide/raid controlller) seems to be problematic for vista, although I haven't found any other similar problems with google. I should see if it works better in 64bit version, but I highly doubt it.

btw, it's a ASUS P5B-Deluxe.

Has anyone had problems with Sims and Vista? When I take a screenshot the hard drive lights up, the sound studders and eventually quits. About a minute latter the sound comes back and things slowly get back to normal.  Second time if I take a screenshot it's usually goes without a hitch.  Although if it still hiccups I might as well quit and restart the computer.  If I forget to take a snapshot, and save... I might as well go for a walk.

My guess is drivers, even after updating and replacing the drive with a new SATA drive, still hiccuping bad.  I would like to eliminate the possibility of a game problem.

Ok at this point I'm going to need your help.  I want to expand the number of sizes available, but looking at the package entries I have no idea what all goes with what. Correct me if I'm wrong.

This much I do know:

• the GMDC contains the meshes, specifically ansoftcock-crammyboy_tslocator_gmdc.  This appears to be the "mesh group" with individual entries inside it.  This is where I would add new mesh entries.
• The TXTR contains the textures, each texture gets a unique entry.  By default it appears cockcrammyboysoft0_txtr is the default texture. Rest are recolors.
• Pie menu Strings contains the actually messages to the user. I'll have to add entries for different sizes, no biggie.
• The Pie menu functions link the strings to the actualy functions. I'll have to first add bhavs and link them here with the strings.
• OBJf, OBJD, Name Ref doesn't look like I need to touch.
• GMND Gemotric node only references the GMDC's group so doesn't look like I need to edit that.
• I know i'll be doing quite a bit of work in the BHAVS.
• BCON 

Things I'm not exactly sure of:

• In STR# Material Names are the names for the textures and ID #.
• Mesh Group Names appears to contain the names and # for the meshes (0 cock, 1 hair, 2 cock_uncut...etc).  This MIGHT be related to the BHAVS, code selects 0 to display cock. 1 to display hair....etc, not sure.  I imagine I'll have to add new entries for arroused and hard (9 and 10).
• attribute labels, does this give variables names? Instead of having to use '2' you can use 'Sims skin color'.  I imagine I'll have to add an extra entry for leaning (left/center/right) eventually.

First thing I don't know...

• What are cn, en and ef   softcock-crammyboy_tslocator_gmdc for?  Could they be remenants of earlier works?
• What is Shape? I see theres some connetions to the GMDC and GMND.  What would I need to alter in here?
• Also what is Resource Node?

Sorry about the million and half questions and I'm sure theres more to come.
