To get the option to respawn the gravestone you need to pause the game, summon the ghost to the lot, and then make the ghost selectable, then use the ghost to click on the debugger where you should find the option to spawn the gravestone. Select that option, then make the ghost unselectable again and then unpause.

I'm pretty sure that Tchan was talking about owned business lots that the playable sim owns.

HP is absolutely right, you're not supposed to delete sims from the sim bin because EA can't seem to do anything right and this method doesn't delete the sims properly; it leaves behind bits and pieces which can be potentially harmful to your hood. I'm pretty sure that this is a big part of why Pes even bothered to create the Deleted 2 tutorial.

I happened to have it in my 4shared folder, too. So, you guys can give this link a shot.

Uh, yes, there is a perfectly good reason to be snarky to someone who admits to not reading the FAQ. Heck, this person hasn't even read the thread or it would have noticed that the problem was caused by an outdated mod! In fact, that is the time honored MATY way! It's how we keep from being overrun by lazy idiots like the BBS. I for one cheer for gynarchy's traditional idiot-poking skills! Good for you gynarchy, keep it up!

I might be entirely wrong, but this sounds as if you literally placed your hacks from your Bon Voyage downloads folder into your Free Time downloads folder. If you've done this, then I know what your problem is. Many FFS hacks have been updated so you shouldn't use the copy you had before in FT. You should download a fresh copy from the hack directory. If I have misunderstood your post then I'm sorry for wasting your time with this explanation.

It's much easier to clone a sim in simPE and then reclone in body shop than to entirely recreate the sim in CAS, in my opinion. The simPE stuff is really, really easy in this case; just use the sim surgery plugin and it's all pretty self-explanatory.

Okay, this really needs to stop. This sort of behavior goes against everything that is MATY and well, I just won't stand for it. This is not the BBS; please act accordingly. We do not enjoy hugging or the use of Z instead of S here (I suppose that there is an exception for lolcatisms, but that is fairly narrowly defined). Lurk MOAR.

Actually, they copypasted the fix list from a post that MaxoidShannon made recently. She claims that a new patch with those fixes will be available soon, but she never mentioned anything about it being hosted on some other website or not being officially endorsed by EA, so this one is a fake, but the list is canon.

My opinion is that EA would release their patch on their website as they have always done before. This is clearly fake and I am annoyed that anyone would be stupid enough to believe that it could be real. I'm looking at you Giggy. Just because some random person claims that they are EA doesn't mean that it's true. Let's do a test!

HAI EVERYONE! I am MaxoidInvisigoth! I can has released a new patch today!!! Come download it at www.Iswearitsnotavirus.com!!! Srsly! I is a representative of EA!!

So, what do you guys think? Am I really a Maxoid? Well, I SAID that I work for EA so it MUST be true, right? Discuss!

I don't know anything about it going pay. The ancient version that I have still works. It can do AIM/ICQ, IRC, Yahoo, MSN, Jabber, and some other stuff I've never even heard of.

I use GAIM, but apparently that is now obsolete and it is called Pidgin now. I haven't used this new shiny version, but it claims to do everything you want and more. It might be worth a shot, I really like GAIM, so I imagine that hte new version will be good, too.

Why don't you just disable the buy and build mode music using the ingame audio options? You have to go into the buy menu song list and then unclick the button next to each song name. It's really easy.

I just don't understand what your problem is. I think that most of us would agree that handling our sims' needs is a manageable and fairly easy process. You've received a lot of excellent advice, and if you try this stuff I am sure that you will find that it isn't actually that hard. I am getting the sense that you really just want to complain about the game.

I create all of my own dormies, so I can definitely walk you through this process. You will need one of Inge's teleporters or another similar hacked object by the creator of your choice.

1. Create a group of YA sims in UniCAS just like you normally would. Give them the names you want them to keep.
2. Plop a residential lot down and move your CAS created dormies into the lot.
3. Select one sim and click on the teleporter object. Find and select the "make me a townie" option. Repeat this process with each sim on the lot.
4. When you are finished select "clear all non-residents off lot" and then save and exit.

Usually I give some of the dormies majors before turning them into dormies, the ones I do not change will be undecided. I generally make 16 to start out with, but you can make as many or as few as you have the patience to do. I must admit that this process is incredibly time consuming, but I really enjoy it. You might also want something like Hook's randomizer to help you think of names, set aspirations, astrological signs, and turn ons/turn offs. The program is incredibly easy to modify for your own needs, so I set it to also select their face template and hair color because that makes it a bit more interesting for me.

I uploaded the two Louis skins that I geneticized. IIRC one is between S1 and S2 and the other one is between S3 and S4. NOTE! I decustomized these, too, so they won't appear in CAS. They will show up in Body Shop though. They will spin up in CAS when you hit the randomize button, but only at random. A simple workaround is to create a sim in BS with each of these skins and then save them, then later, in CAS you can open the saved sim folder thing and pick the one with the skin that you want. Then you can change whatever else you want about the sim and you'll be ready to go.

I use Louis default replacement skins, but I also have two shades between the four standard shades that I've geneticized. If you need or want those I could upload them somewhere. You can already find geneticized versions of virtually every Enayla eye here.

I'm with you on this one. All of my lots just have a strange collection of junk in the back yard. This is how I discovered that sims LOVE scanning the lot debugger for finger prints. It seems inconvenient for me to hide the objects because then I have to go hunt them down every time I want to use them (and I use the macro box quite a bit).

It might not be working because the custom hair you use might not have toddler/child meshes. I tried to go check it out on your site so that I could get a better look at the files, but I got a message saying that you were over your bandwidth limit. If this is the case then the children produced from this PT have messed up genetic data.

Another thing, you should carefully consider the ramifications of using a non-binned hair for any sim that you intend to use for breeding purposes. If the hair works properly for all ages then the resulting offspring will have that same exact hair. They won't get other hairs from the custom bin; they will only be able to pass down that specific hair. This would be a problem for me, but others might not be annoyed by that. To be honest, I never use an un-binned hair in CAS. If I want a sim to have an un-binned hair I give them a binned hair to start and then after I move them onto a lot I change their appearance in the mirror to give them a custom hair. I often do this with my alien sims so that they have appropriately weird (often green) hair. If you are comfortable with the genetic results that using a non-binned hair will yield then that's fine, I just wanted to make sure that you have all of the information (and perhaps you should pass this information on to the people who will be downloading your PT replacement; they might not know, and they might not want that hair to go down for generations).

Yeah, that was why I asked croi if the lot was an owned business lot.

This is probably a stupid question, but did this happen on an owned business lot?

I love you Theo! BAAAAA!

FYI, we have a thread for discussion of FAQ related problems, requests, etc. where we have already discussed the whole name change issue and the porn thing. Aren't I helpful? You may praise me now.

Aggie, I was poking around the other day on the Dell website and it seems that they still offer computers with XP. I just ran a search for xp and I found this. It seems that you also get some cusomization options, which could be a really good thing. For example, you'd definitely want to choose a better graphics card than the intel that comes standard with most Dells, IMO.

Yes.
