But I doubt she meant offense, as this post lead me to believe.

There seems to be no point in arguing over this, though.

No, I just laughed.

So, basically all you want is an apology for that comment? Because I don't see what else she can do for you. I just interpreted it as a poorly written statement, not something she meant genuine hatred in writing.

After re-reading the post in question, I can see how people can be offended, but like I said in the last post that I edited, didn't she say she meant NO offense from it? The whole issue cleared up for me then.

How about this though?


I don't see any evidence of her depending on Sims for her happiness. I think she already explained her train of thought, and I think she's handling it fine. Sure, I am willing to admit, some of the deaths she ranted about could've been avoided with watching over her Sims more. With the whole RL rant, she is just explaining why she didn't like seeing death, not that Sim deaths cause her a mental breakdown.

EDIT: Yes, she didn't word that sentence about RL issues all that well, but didn't she explain that she didn't mean any offense by it?

I know that. But internet fights about internet fighting are the best! That way, everyone else just throws up their arms in exasperation and does something equally pointless, like panic and loot.

(EDIT: God, my Engrish is horrible today.)

And if amjore's complaining bothers you so much, then don't read it. Whether you believe her or not doesn't matter to me. You can talk about what she said without attacking her for it.

I just tested it. It does appear to work correctly, which is great.

I've had the 45 degree cheat in my userStartup as a global cheat for a while, and it has always worked.

Huh. It seems the Seasons version of the hack just requires you to drop stuff in the Downloads folder. I'd be more than glad to use the hack if I didn't have to modify core game files.

If you want to go the easy (well, somewhat) route, you can download Squinge's All LTWs for All Aspirations hack. Personally, I love it.


Has anyone used this? It seems you just put the files in the downloads folder, without having to edit anything. But I heard somewhere that it wasn't safe.

I had the same problem with one of Peggy's accessories, but I thought it was a problem with the object, since I rarely use accessories outside of glasses.

Hm, it seems the first partition doesn't have a drive letter, but the second one has the standard C: one. I think it is okay to leave it, since I DO believe that only partitions with letters show up in Windows. Then again, the only formatting I've done is on Virtual PC.

Also, did the computer restart with the Windows XP Installation wizard? If it is stuck like that, try rebooting it yourself. It SHOULD show up, according to this walkthrough.

Thank you this is great.

Looking at where you originally got the information from, I noticed that there was an extra step, which involved editing the Registry. Is it alright to do that, or should we just ignore it?

The location of the tombstone/urn decides what it is. Indoors, it is an urn. Outdoors, it is a tombstone. You can switch which kind it is by moving it in or out.

I never used the inventory to move tombstones/urns. I just click on it and move it to community lot of choice. It's a lot easier, as well.

Auto spell check? Don't see it. Do you mean little red lines under words? If you are using Firefox, that's a feature.

The more technical details can be explained by someone more awesome than I, but it is a VBT... unless you completely purge said Sim of all friendships, contacts, memories, family tree, and pretty much anything linking him/her to the neighborhood. It is so much effort, you might as well just use Sim Surgery on SimPE. (I haven't used it myself, but it is a common suggestion.)

EDIT: Here's a tutorial on how you can use SimPE to clone Sims. I gave it a quick test, and it seems to work well.

Feh, no matter what I do, I can't get some of the trees that I have beyond the "sickly" stage. I prune them and spray them (I have a couple of ladybug houses around them), but there seems to be no other option I know of to take care of them. Hell, I put a freakin sprinkler under each of them, thinking they may need water. Stupid trees.

I have no advice to share with you, since I am sure you've done everything possible that I can think of. I just wanted to say that I feel your pain, if only on a minor scale.

The only thing I can suggest is to: a) buy a new card, or b) wait for nVidia to do something about it.

...did you make sure the power supply is compatible with your motherboard? That is why I stuck with a low grade graphics card instead of going beyond that and having to buy a new power supply, because it seems the only power supplies that I can buy for it are only 300W high. My motherboard is a MicroATX, by the way.

*presses "Thanks" button* Now I have something to hold me over until the Awesome version is released.

Is it just me, or is anyone else having trouble visiting that site?

I am doing the same challenge, and as far as I can tell, the reason why they hang around the bathrooms so much is because they all head that way at the same time. In the process of trying to shoo each other out, they get distracted and play red hands or kicky ball.

Hm, I suppose it depends on computers. Or luck. My card used to work just fine before Seasons. I can still play the game, but not on certain lots... which sucks, actually.

Unless someone has any other ideas to help this issue, the best idea I can think of is to get a better/different card.

Well, I've given up on this card working. After trying multiple drivers and getting no results, I managed to get some money to buy a ATI Radeon 9600 Pro (256 MB) graphics card.

"Compatible with Nvidia," my ass.

I was afraid of that idea. I wouldn't have any problem ditching my nVidia card for something better. It is just that I r teh broke. If I am desperate enough, I can manage to get the money, but I'd rather try whatever options I can before resorting to that.

I'll look through the older threads here for those drivers. Thank you.

I just bought and added Seasons. On most parts, the game seems to be okay. However, if I happen to enter a large lot of any kind, the graphics immediately screw up. I managed to capture some screenshots of the borkiness.









I am using a NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500 (128 MB) graphics card. Should I attempt to update the drivers, in hopes that the problem will be resolved, or is there any other way I can fix this problem? BTW, I tired lowering my graphic quality in the game, but that didn't solve the issue.
