First off, I have all the EP and SP (just installed IKEA SP before this occured)

In this neighbourhood I'm building, I placed a shrunken residential lot (2x1), converted it to a community lot and built a little bar on it.  I saved and exited the lot, renamed it, placed in my neighbourhood lot bin.  When I went back into my lot bin again, to place the little bar, my game crashed.  Unsure as to the reason, I went back into my game and in the neighbourhood, the lot was where I had placed it before crashing.  So I pretty much gave it up to a one time glitch.  I went back into my lot bin, and placed another one of these little bars, which I had planned on converting to a different place.  The game crashed again.  I restarted and when I went back in, the lot was where I had placed it.  So I thought I had figured out the problem (or at least be prepared to restart the game when I place that lot)

This time now, I decided to load a house with a playable character (Sullivan) I had from before I even started on this crashing lot problem.  The game crashed.  I'm completely unsure as to what's wrong now.  I don't have a an error log with me now, but I can post one later if it's required Added error logs.  Could it be specifically that lot that's causing the problem?  I've played other shrunken lots in my game and they have worked fine.

I tried the neighbourhood again, deleted the 2 community lots I had that crashed when I placed them, and then tried to go into the Sullivan lot again.  Game crashed when loading (at the 4 bar mark).  I went back into the game and tried again, this time with a different house, the Linus lot, and it crashed at the same point. 

The last hack I had added to the game was the dolphin "Control this Sim", and Lord Darcy's IKEA fixes.

It ended up being an issue with the skins package.  Once I replaced the file, everything started to work the way it supposed to.

Just installed K&B today.   I made sure that I had a non-problem causing download folder (just things for bodyshop and default replacements that I have used many times before and have worked fine).  When I loaded up my game and decided to go to CAS, I began to have issues.  All the textures (or maybe it's the alphas) for hair, both custom and Maxis are showing the white background with the letters on it.  The clothing apparently has an all white alpha because everything in the texture file is showing on the sim.  From the neck down all you see is texture covering the mesh with no actual sim skin.  The face for the sim seems to be perfectly fine though.  Some hair shows up properly but majority do not.

I am not sure if I should do about this.  Suggestions?

Missing Hair
Missing Hair again
Messed up clothing alpha
Messed up clothing alpha again

EDIT: I have all of the expansions and stuff packs and my FT is unpatched.

I'm pretty sure they introduced the "Personal Trainer" feature in University, so the students could make some extra cash.

What are the floor dividers for pets because after reading all of the things that were carried over, I'm uninstalling it at first opportunity, depending on what the floor dividers are.

I have certain ex-NPCs who have some weird behaviours when the go visiting on another lot.  They walk into the house as if they own it and stay until like 4 o'clock in the morning...sometimes even longer.  They autonomously start taking care of all the babies and todlers who live in the house.  This has happened with an ex-bartender, ex-cheerleader and ex-cafeteria worder.  What's up with that?  The ex-cheerleader always revers back to her uniform if she is not pregrant.  I'm starting to wonder whether or not these sims are still partially considered NPC by the game.

Is it possible to change the name of an established neighbourhood.  If so, how do you go about doing so?  Don't know if it makes a difference but I have everything up to Seasons and all Stuff Packs except Celebrations.

Alright, so here's the situation:

I have a set of defaults skintones and eyes in my game that I would like to change.  However, I would like the sims who have the defaults already, to keep them and only new sims and townies to get the new defaults.  Is there a way to do this without having to clone every single sim in my game because that adds a lot of unnecessary character files to the game

If it's compatible up to seasons, then I would gladly request it.  And is there a tutorial or something of the sort that will tell me how to edit the memories of my sims so I could get rid of the extra graduation memories?

I hope this will not end up being something major that could destory my neighbourhood, so I'm hoping if anything, I'm catching it in the early stages.

I have a sim named Nicole who's LTW was to graduate 3 kids from college.  She's got 4 kids, 2 have completed it, 1 is still a teenager and hasn't started college and the youngest is a baby (so forget about him).  I had invited Nicole over to her daughter's house (1 of the graduates).  I set one of my hacks so I could control Nicole at the house and I realized she was Perma-Plat.  Made no sense to me considering she had not fulfilled her LTW.  I checked her memories and for the 2 kids who are graduates, it has 2 memories each of graduation.  I don't know why  Will this cause a major problem?

From Nicole's view: 1, 2
From Daughter's view: 1, 2

Alright, so here's my situation...my computer is conviced that the CD for Seasons, is not in the drive...despite the fact that it is and it autorun itself.  I thought it might have been one of the "group.cache" problems...but apparently it's not.  I can open the drive and see what's on the CD, but my computer is convinced that it's not there.  Anyone know what is going on?  Is it a problem with the disc itself?  Or is my computer acting up or what?

Thanks to everyone who helped.  Got the skintone changed.  All I have to do is pray that there are no townies or NPCs that I haven't seen that have the same skin tone.

Thanks.  I'm gonna try the SimPE way because I already used my whatever days trial with Sim Enhancer.

I've got a skintone in my game that I want to get rid of.  It's custom and geneticized in my game but I no longer like the look of it.  I can thin of at least 2 sims in my game that currently have that skintone.  How can I safe change their skintone to something else, make it a part of their DNA instead and not have it switch to a Maxis skintone intead (like what happened when I deleted an genticized eye color in my game).

I did that for the mydocuments folder and everthing else Windows follows it so that's fine so far buy BodyShop opens and then freezes for like 20 minutes and then I just force it to close because it isn't doing anything...guess I'll just have to put everything back to how it was.

Thanks for the help anyways.

I managed to move the "My Documents" folder but now Bodyshop will no longer open.  Do I have to move the rest of the game files over to the new drive as well?  And if so, do I just do the same right click-move thing?

I have been looking for ways to do this every since I got a new hard-drive.  Anyone know how or could show me where I can get information regarding moving the "my dociments" folder off of C: drive and onto another drive, and still have my game recognize where it and fully function?

Yes!  This is what I was looking for.  Thank-you.

I've tried searching throughout the peasentry section and I know there was something about it here at MATY but I can't find the tutorial about decustomizing eyes ie: the little * no longer shows up in the box and it would be seen as green eye.  I don't want to change the default eyes, I just want to add more   Can anyone help me find it, or point me in the right direction?

If you re-install, will it get rid of the downloads. saved sims etc?  And do you have to reinstall all the expansion packs, or just Pets?

Pets won't run    I hit the icon to make the game go, the splash screen shows up...and then nothing.  I made the task manager box open up and it says it's going but I could litterally leave my computer running for an hour, and nothing will happen.  The game was running fine less than a week ago.  I haven't downloaded anything other than a couple pieces of clothing.

I thought the problem might be with the CD itself (that was a problem before with the FFS pack which I fixed by buying the Glamour which ran perfectly fine).  I went back to the store and exchanged the game (so happy I got that warrenty now) and now, it still won't work.  Anyone know what in the world is going on?

This has been bothering me for quite sometime and I'm not sure which one to delete.  I created a couple new face templates but the old one still shows up in the thumbnail (which bothers me to no end).  Is there a listing that explains what each cache is for and which ones are safe to delete?

I'll add it on my list of templates to do.  If they are any requests, or you have sims to donate to my project of revamping all the templates, let me know.

no this one is not for the elves just template 07.  Her sim that I did the template on, origianally had elf ears and I didn't know if she wanted it on it or not.  I can make some adjustments and make it for the elf template as well, just let me know if there's a need or a want for it.

Sorry about the double posting but the attachments couldn't go on the same post so here's Eafr without ears.
