I thought I'd throw this in here since I think I have a similar issue -- can deleting a default replacement mesh also cause "floating head' syndrome where the clothing becomes totally invisible?  Since cleaning out my downloads folder the base game Maxis AM+EM pajamas have gone this way, and I did used to have a default replacement mesh for them....

This could also be accomplished with invisible recolors of counters/tables/OMSPs/etc.

Those are some seriously jiggly boobs in that video.  I didn't notice it at the time, but I wonder if anyone did and was disappointed when the game came out?

Yikes.  I guess the white wings might be good for a photo or something, but why the eye-burning fuschia??

Yep -- that's what I'm doing too.  I did the same thing with a lot of the community and business lots that came with other EPs.  I just don't have the patience to design my own community lots, but I hate the bloaty lag of the original Eaxis ones.  Death to superfluous second and third stories!

D'oh -- I was sure I had, but sure enough the error log shows it was still on.  I had to switch modes (buy to build and back) after entering the cheat so it SHOWED the tools as disabled, and THAT time it worked.

I'm still getting near constant Invalid Stack Errors.  Grrr.  Time to go over the hacks again.

Thanks witch. I feel foolish. 

I just installed BV.  I'm running all the EPs up until then, and none of the SPs.

I attached Twikki Island to a neighborhood as a vacation destination.  I like the general idea of the lots, but they're too big and laggy.  Unfortunately they seem to work like college dorms where a bunch of build/buy tools are disabled. 

I messed around (as I have a fresh backup of the neighborhood and nothing to lose) and found that "boolProp dormSpecificToolsDisabled false" allows me to build normally, but it also irreparably breaks the lot (Sims who arrive there on vacation immediately error and then the game snaps to buy/build mode). 

Sorry if this has been asked before; I feel like there ought to be an obvious answer.  Is there a way to edit these lots without FUBARing them?

I'm glad HP fixed the oops.  Good for her.  But there are still hundreds of fat morphs out there whose creators don't care to fix them.  WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE GRILLED CHEESE SIMS?

Know what you call people who make terrible puns? JUDGES.

"Honey, I think you overdid it on the starch."

There's a fixed version on PMBD.  You might have that, unless you paid for it.    (Also IIRC the problem only occurs for certain ages?)

that is just frightening.

And this is going to pale in comparison, but I just found this in my downloads.  The advertising:

A nice "donation" bathroom from SimCredible.
But for some reason when I place the rectangular tub....


It's the disappearing towel rack!  You put it in your bathroom, it appears in your living room!

I'm on a Mac so I can't actually rebin anything.  I just junk 'em. (and post on MATY  )

I realize hair colors (and when brown becomes blond or red) are, to some extent, a matter of opinion.  THAT BEING SAID, I am sick and tired of hairs in the wrong bin.  Especially reds.  Peggy really does have some nice, fairly natural looking red hairs...

.... and when I download them, they show up in the blond or brown bin. 

A lot of these are Peggy but not all.  I'm redoing my download folder and came across these while weeding out recolors. 

NOT BLACK:



NOT BLOND(E):



NOT BROWN:

What the hell.  Back-of-neck gaps are sometimes kind of irritating (especially if you want that picture and your sim's teeth are showing from behind..) .... but FRONT OF THE FREAKING FACE gaps?  Visible in CAS?  Did she look at this in-game at ALL?

Also the way it sticks out in the back is so not right.

Man, now I want to go into my collection of Peggy "THAT'S IN THE WRONG BIN" candidates.  WTF reds in the blonde bin, blondes in the brown bin, browns in the black bin.

ETA: Holy Jesus! It also does the bendy-pigtail dance!

Here's some pics of this fridge in my game for comparison.  Honestly I don't think it looks that bad, or at least not that different from the advertising.  The water dispenser on the front isn't painted on, it's meshed more or less properly, and the animations work.


There is an issue, however, with the Sims hands not matching up with the fridge doors.


Now somebody get moving and post Peggy hair gaps please! 

Here's one of my main inspirations for starting this thread: a pay hair from The Sims Connection called "Time After Time." 


Upon putting it in the game one of the first noticable things is that the ponytail has something weird going on at the end.

It's skintone/pink and sort of weird.  I call it 'the Butt.'  Look for it in the following pictures.

Besides the Butt, the real problems with the hair begin when the Sim starts to move, because aside from sticking out at odd angles as seen above, the luxurious ponytail tends to...

or


I still remember the face I made first time I witnessed this years ago, when the hair was advertised enthusiastically on TSC as being by Fionn and having amazing animations. 
(edited to try and get one of the pics to show)

You know those hairs that look AWESOME on the models, and then sit seven feet too high on your sim's head and clip violently through the torso?

Or the furniture that looks brilliant on such-and-so's website but somehow gets lumpy and badly-textured and crashes and pokes through walls when it's in your game?

Find them!  Post them!  Ideally, post a contrast between how it looks in the advertising and how it REALLY looks.  Expose the filthy liars! 

It sure could, especially since so many of the stolen things are not meant for the Sims and end up huge and laggy or poking through walls.

Or it could be another category because finding where things are stolen from is like a fun treasure hunt and may deserve its own month!

If nobody else has ideas for September, I've been waiting for a "Not As Advertized" More Awful Than You.  All those pretty hairs or elegant furnitures that look GREAT on the website and then suck in-game.  Those sorts irritate me more than the obviously ugly TSR type junk, and it would guarantee a break from FeeEssen.

I don't know, this really did it for me.  He has a horrible wound from shaving his penis and he didn't NOTICE?

While this is almost definitely not the awesome solution, and may be something you've tried, have you tried using Insim's family tree to "make [sim] my child/parent/whatever"? As you're already using it it may be worth a try if you haven't already.

My FFS hacks folder guide.

I recently installed Seasons (I'm behind the times) and after doing so BodyShop would always crash upon loading.  I removed some downloads, my SavedSims folder, and deleted cigen and so forth and finally got it to load.  Now it works fine...... except it won't save new Sims.  I hit the "Done Building Sim" button and it takes me back to the Sim bin seemingly as usual, but my new creation isn't there. Ideas, anyone?

Mac user, FYI. I'm hoping this isn't a Mac-specific issue, or if it is, that someone knows how to fix it. 

That woman has a candy cane jammed in her asscrack.  If that doesn't win every contest ever, I don't know what does.

I started off in a laundry basket too.  Lined with a Budweiser towel.  Ah, memories.
