Just a warning Angelynne, my cow plant ATE MY SIM!!!  And a tip for those of you in South Australia; Big W quite often has the new releases of The Sims 2 EP's out A DAY EARLIER than the official release date. 

Lovely.  Just been to have a look at the Debugger, don't think I need anything that it offers just yet, time will tell.

Thanks again, you guys are a great help.

Thanks, but what does it do?  I'm not that PC friendly so I need guidance

I do have it now but not sure if I had it then. As soon as I downloaded the CEP other things started working properly but I may or may not have deleted the stairs, will have to recheck, Maxis stairs are with most of their stuff, unbelievably boring and unmatchable

Niiice one, I hope I don't end up in your sitcom, even though I am guilty of thoroughly reading posts, which is why I wanna know, what is a Lot Debugger??? 

Can't say I ever had that particular problem, but when my sims throw a party, any party, the maximum invite list is sometimes 1, I know there are cheats but didn't bother with it

I downloaded Numenors stair recolours and I cannot get them to run in my game, tried again and again and thought lifes to short.  Give it up.

your free will options are only highlighted when you are playing your sims in their house,  glad I can give advice instead of asking for once...

Tempers wouldn't be frayed if some members didn'think they were superior to others and yes ZZ I'll use your advice, let u know how it goes.  I went a bit download crazy so i probably have some dodgy ones.

No need for the holier than thou attitude Renatus, Im not that stupid!!!  Thank you ZZ for your nice non-sarcastic explanations

OK smarty, I get it, but heres another tricky one Renatus, what is group.cache?

As a dumbass newbie, How do you delete groups.cache.  My downloads folder is 63.3 MB, that seems qite small compared to some, but th startup and neighborhoods are slow and choppy, my computer is running all the latest memory and video card etc.  Any ideas?

Thanks everyone, downloading now, testing later

'Thanks everybody, I'll pass these ideas on, might defrag mine while I'm at it, see if it runs any better.

AAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!  After scrolling through, I'm even more confused than ever; not a hard thing to do,  ???So short and sweet would be good, thanks all for the answers and comment.  And by the way, I find that COULDN'T GIVE A SHIT' works best, it's to the point and translatable...

No, she hasn't any customs and hasn't even run the game yet!

Has anyone heard of a hack for a live in maid for the rich sims?

 Long time but yes I'm back with another burning question.  A friends has the Sims 2 but when the create a family screen pops up, the game dies in the a__.  Has anyone else had this problem?

Thank you once again..By the way, do you really look like that?  Maybe you need Dr Vu's Plastic surgery machine!

as the title says, what is simpe?
