Or your graphics card REALLY likes M.C. Escher.

The more I look at that picture, the dizzier I get.

A lot of trouble likely went into that post.  It's not the poster's fault that he/she isn't a fluent English speaker.

Assuming this is the case, wouldn't it be better to post some kind of explanation with the poll/in the thread/somewhere on MTS2?  Deleting the posts is just going to upset people, and not answer their question. 

Briefly: it has its fingers in a lot of areas and so tends to be incompatible with a number of things and cause problems when used with other mods, especially if user is stupid and has not read the documentation.  Said stupid users sometimes come here with support for InTeen problems instead of going to the proper venue, or come here complaining that MATY hacks are breaking things when the problem is a conflict with InTeen. 

Anybody else think it's funny that there was a big kerfluffle about MTS2 hosting the Baby-Q and not allowing complainy comments against it, and now they are excluding it from the poll and not allowing complainy comments in favor of it? Is it some kind of 'leave no-one unpissed off' campaign?

It's standard-issue MATY.  The more you let it get to you and try to justify yourself the more people will pick on you.  Just ignore it and move on.

Ah, I wasn't familiar with the differences.  Live and learn.  (I also didn't notice that VPC died because... it sucked and I stopped using it. )

(edited for dangling quote tag.)

Do you mean something like VirtualPC?  If so, I'm pretty sure those aren't intended for gaming.  You CAN, but the results are pretty miserable and slow.  Older games do okay, but usually they're better in DosBox. 

If this is so then I think I could deal with it.  I believe I read also that aging is slowdownable, so one could compensate for aging done while the player was playing other families in rotation.  And it would enable me to skip families in the rotation who are stuck in a boring spot. 

I was a lot happier when TS3 was a clear Do Not Want, but now I'm a bit torn.  IF one could rotate and play a neighborhood this way I think I'd like it; and the new personality system seems interesting; and the placing and rotating of objects without grid restrictions is nice too.  I even like the idea of being able to color hair/furniture/everything whatever color you want instead of having to mess with recolor files....

...But the sims still look doughy-faced, and the nixing of user-made content is very undesirable.  I like some Maxis stuff fine, but I get bored with it after a while, and it tends to all be kind of middle-of-the-road or just goofy.  Also I can't help but think EA are doing it this way on purpose because they've figured out people will pay through the nose for Sims downloads and they want to be the only act in town. 

As far as I know, K&B Stuff Pack isn't available for Mac.

Aspyr indicates the issue is only with Quicktime 7.6 in OS 10.4.x.  If you're running 10.5.x, you're good.

This is an interesting idea, but ... does it only affect the baby's behavior as a baby?  I do not want babies whose personality for their WHOLE LIVES is entirely determined by mom's mood while pregnant.  I would have a lot of bland, boring, well-behaved sims.

Coming next: a remake of SimFarm in which you cannot farm!

If this were Sims 3, that would be INTENTIONAL.

I completely lost it when I saw his belly button on the floor next to his dining chair.  Does it tickle when people walk on there?

I was afraid of that. Thanks.

I accidentally threw a family into the lotbin instead of the family bin.  I didn't mean to.    It was a brand-new family in a brand-new neighborhood.  They had never been played (I entered the lot only once to plunk down a phone) and never met anyone outside of their own household.  Am I safe, or still at risk for a BFBVFS?

Yep, downgrading QuickTime did the trick.  Flargle.  This happened before, too, with QuickTime.  At least Aspyr released the patch for that one pretty fast.

And thanks for the suggestion, but I don't want to have to a) deal with Windows and b) buy all the games over again.    Besides, this way, by the time the Mac ports are released EA has quelled the SERIOUSLY major bugs and Pescado has fixed the rest. 

Doesn't seem to help.  It isn't even getting that far -- it crashes before it even appeared to do anything (click on the icon, it would blink a few times as though it were going to start, and then nothing).  Thanks, though.

I installed the QuickTime 7.6 upgrade today and it appears to be causing BV to crash on launch (I didn't change anything else, and removing my downloads/deleting groups.cache/clean install didn't help).  Can any other Mac users confirm or deny?  God dammit.

This is the weirdest one I've had in a while.  This lady here was married to a guy named Stacey, who died of old age.  The following evening his ghost appeared and was haunting around.  Meanwhile, she was just hopping into bed with one of her other lovers (I just noticed the backwards arm).  Then the "boi-oing!" cheating sound played and:

... they both leapt out of bed as though about to confront an angry spouse... but then nothing happened.  So they jumped back in bed again, and I get this message:

The dead sim in question always was a posessive hypocritical bastard (he was deeply offended when any of his several lovers "cheated" on him), but come on!

This thread needs MORE!

Here's one from PeggyG:

I would love it if someone did a recolor with eyes and teeth.

And here's one from Bipsouille:

I would love this one recolored with some lettuce, refried beans, and cheese. 

(edited for bad code. oops.)

I also had it caused by a custom bed -- from Around the Sims 2, I think.

But mostly with that picture made me go "Look, sea kittens!"

Did you use DeleteAllCharacters on the hood? 

Stepstool: not doing it right

It appeared to be glued to his chest and waggled around when he moved.  Sadly when he left the telescope it did not stay.

Rounded pool edges at ground level create holes in second-story floor??


And finally... what the hell is on fire?

It started without warning; there was no thunder or lightning, nothing on that tile to burn.  Mystery fire!
