Well I went for it, renamed, deleted, folderised the lot. Went from about 1500 downloads to only 300 Will try to load the game later Cheers for all the help and such.

Heh, no worries I've been through my walls and floors, but haven't had time to do anything else yet. Bring on the holidays I say!

Some meshes with MESH in the filename, well the rest of their filename makes no sense. So it doesn't help that much 

Meow.

You're welcome - I checked with one package before going all out and doing the lot. As it is I've found a lot of the meshed stuff (all hairstyles, some clothes) that I want to keep and redownloaded them, so now I can implement a more organised downloads folder, I just don't have time to do it yet

Shame you missed my sarcasm Database.

Pffrt, kewian is not immortal, everyone has a weakness.

Ugh, Database, that wasn't a direct direct insult, it wasn't intended as an insult really. You said you didn't know for sure Stupid Database.

Thankyou Nectere, MutantBunny I've given up on the downloads folder for tonight as it is driving me nuts - but those are all good things to know, really appreciate the help

Thanks for the input Renatus much appreciated.


Hmm, okie doke. Will ask.


By stupid people I meant whoever is responsible for the pointlessly inadequet filename... whoever that may be. They are only stupid for that reason as far as I'm aware - I probably love the meshes, I'd just love to know what they are.

I was trying to sort my downloads a lazyish way (packaging sims with the stuff I wanted, doing a mass delete and adding it back in), and meshes don't get packaged... it's a right pain... :-/

Will bear the hack information in mind - thanks I don't think I have any that come under that umbrella at the moment though.


Deleting from bodyshop does it seems. Thanks for that info also

You were help This is stuff I needed to know.

I had a look around and whilst some of my questions got answered, I have more, and for some reason am not willing to take Database's word for it Also added a couple of curiosities...

1. Can you rename a package file? Will the game care? Does it matter if it's a texture for a mesh/mesh for a texture? Will this cause a FBVFOS?

2. There's no way to tell which file is what mesh-file right? Because stupid people don't label them correctly? Packaging a sim does not include the mesh-file, right?

3. With Nightlife, you can put anything in subfolders, ANYTHING?!

4. All Kewians need stomping

5. How do you organise your downloads?

6. Can you rename saved sims stupid long number names or are they stuck like that forevermore?

7. Deleting stuff just results in blue static?

8. Terrains = death.

Thanks

Would like confirmation of this also...

Anyone else notice that they didn't stick all the holiday objects in a "collections" folder. You would have thought since they did with the NL and Uni stuff, and some other random things... but no. That would have been useful - and yes I did it myself in the end. But I don't know, that bugged me.

I used it once I think... I never really thought about it before now, sounds like I should be using it.

I also need to practice with the scored outings, I think I had a couple of ok ones. If I remember rightly - social interaction is the key?

I think I'll go play the game...

I forgot about it until just now in my perusal of one of the sims communities over at livejournal.

There are santa screenshots here for anyone interested.

I guess elephants in pyjamas really don't exist now then... 

To add...

Posie did a study on this - the BBS thread is here.

Very thorough and worth a read.

From what I can make out from my peers, it's aimed at a more young adult age group One of my friends has one, I personally hate it...

That ferretlance1 + ferretlance2 = ferretfun

Creating a legend is easy.

The world is in very grave danger.

Well that's what the A-level art course was like - you have to be able to justify everything, same goes for my Interactive Design - why did you choose this font? Why did you put that image there? Because it looks good isn't a good enough reason on its own, it has to have depth...

Tracy Emin...



She is one hell of a weird artist, I'm not very fond of her stuff. However, what you said ZZ - art is a point of view, really it boils down to the fact that art is an expression. (I do wish that the A-level art coursework we had required something as easy as this though )

I have no bookcases, so all my books are in piles all over my room The first time I went to my university library last week, I flipped out at all the books. I could quite easily live in it!

I used free delivery and got it and NL on the day it was released, university one day later. I was very impressed, and I do like Amazon a lot. I've had to quit though, I get too click happy in the books section

It's happened to me before. Fluke.

I stopped buying in the shops a while back as preordering is cheaper, so I haven't noticed. That link should take you straight to the DVD version.
