I'll buy the Sims 3 when it has no DRM, including bullshitty launchers.

I may add GLS if it uses a more stable engine. OFB didn't really have any features I liked other than the Servos, so I'll probably pass on it. Thanks!

If pregnancy is anything like it is in the Sims 2, then it's a major do not want. I imagine me never getting Sims pregnant in 3 if it is.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Which expansion pack was it that allowed you to place a house multiple times from the House bin? I know it wasn't in the base game, and I want to keep my game as light as possible, but this feature is a must-have as far as I'm concerned. I'm assuming it's Nightlife?

I want to say that people running Norton have it coming to them anyway. There's no excuse to have that bloater on your system when there are so many free and effective firewalls/anti-virus programs.

But yeah. Saying that you should turn off your anti-virus before playing is a little bit cheeky. More than a little bit. Why not just fix that memory leak of yours?

I'm confused as to whether the updater after you install checks if you have the patches or not. For me, it installs something after the base game but then nothing with every subsequent EP. Do I have to patch separately, and will installing them after FT fubar my game?

I put all my hacks (actually, all my custom content) into their own separate folders. It goes - what it is (hack, CC etc), where it's from, who created it, name. This helps with readmes because they go in the folder with the hack.

I also have a spreadsheet with all of my hacks, when they were updated and a link to it's readme so I can reference when I have to update something without having to click through a bunch of folders.

Works for me

I quite like Misfit, actually. He's cute.

The easy answer to the CC skin thing is to never download Sims with photoskinned skin. I'd put a fair amount of money on most of the creators of such skin do not design their skins with breeding in mind, only to make their celebrity or whatever look like the person they're based off.

Photoskinned skins are the devil's work.

Smooth Talking will be broken. At best, it will be like normal conversations, at worst, it will be the inverse of what it was intended to be.

The 'Teeny Tikes Activity Table' will leave invisible blocks and crayoned pictures all over the lot. These will slow the lot down to a crawl and will need to be nuked ala Kicky Bags.

I quite like it. I would download but first I want someone to verify that it has flat edges. The neighbourhood it would look good in I made by hand so I really don't want that terrain messed up.

That happened to me once.

I used one of the options under Fix in the debugger and it went away.

Can't remember which one it was but clicking all of them can't hurt.

I bet you've put it in the wrong directory.

Don't worry, everyone on the site where I got it from did that too.

I have a desk like that. Not with such bad shadows, but same shape and everything.

Do you have jordi's LotFullOfSims hack? Because I believe if you have that you need to move them in before marriage otherwise you have errors and stuffs.

deltree isn't it?

I was planning to reinstall it on another hard drive.

EDIT:Unix Command?

To cut a long story short, I ran out of hard drive space on one drive so started uninstalling to install on another.

But it won't let me uninstall The Sims 2. I get the message 'One or more expansion packs are installed. You must uninstall all expansion packs before uninstalling The Sims 2'.

All the expansions/stuff packs are uninstalled.

The registry has been cleared of all traces of expansions and stuff packs.

Why the hell can't I uninstall it?

Correction. You'll need Office 2007 to open it. Anything before that doesn't support the .docx extension.

Now if only it looked like that in-game.

Lot swappage isn't available if you have OFB installed. Which it says in the first post.

1000 isn't very much when you think about it. But I can't see that being the case, really.

If it's just DVDs it won't read, then I'd bet it's your laser at fault. Have you cleaned it?

I'm not sure I like the name Enemene (sp?). Sounds too much like anemone.

That is seriously... I need another word other than disturbing.

The worrisome thing is, I know several people who'd use that as an xmas decoration.
