To anyone having trouble getting the downloads that people have put on here with Rapidshare

Open the link with IE as AOL and possibly other browsers constantly gives a timed out message but normally IE works

I contacted EA asking why these items can only be bought using Canadian and US credit cards . their reply first was it was due to trading restrictions , Then the next person gave me the link to the store and didnt even know that you could only use credit cards from those 2 countries , Then the third reply was buy an EA cash card and use that . talk about shit first they dont know what they are doing then want to milk money out of us even more

Thaankyou to everyone who has made these items available to the rest of us

It appeared with the Vacation EP you go on the beach and find it in the sand

no you don't need the store installer to get them to show

which folder do you have it downloaded to Cerridwen maybe it wont work in downloads which is where most of us dump stuff we download?

i have the same problem can see the thumbnail but cant place it

Anyone else got the same problem as me that the new street lamp in this SP doesnt actually light up the street . The dim glow barely reaches the ground below it

You know its utter twaddle when

You get stalked by one of them who is the bosses cousin and can get you a promotion or pay rise , runs her own intelligence agency and wants you to join , is a designer for a tv AND computer company and wants you to test things AND also works for a furniture company and can get you a discount next time you shop NO MATTER what type of furniture or appliance you want .

And not only that the company who she wants you to test for can afford to give EVERY single sim in town a tv and computer to try so that NO one has to EVER buy one anyway or ever has to fill in a questionaire about if they are any good .

PS . Does anyone know a shop that would want to buy 20 unused TV's and 15 unused computers as my sim walks funny from carying them all around in her pocket along with the misc rakes , hedge trimmers , snapdragons , robots , fish  and other stuff she has

Looking at the fixes it says no longer required to greet gypsy (impossible)

Does that mean that with this fix we can no longer interact with  the gypsy on community lots as now all i get if i click on her is cast spell or dismiss . I cannot ask her for a blind date

I see EA have a patch out for AL BUT it doesnt fix any of these bugs hardly

They have fixed a load of cosmetic rubbish and ignored the important stuff in the main

1.  Cellphones can now be answered without being eated.               Supposedly Fixed
2.  Receiving NL-mail at an apartment now works, no longer renders mailbox
    unusable and dooming your sim to eventual eviction.                   Supposedly Fixed
3.  Cooking skill is FUBAR'ed by moving into an apartment.                NOT FIXED
4.  Inactive apartment residents no longer slowly drained of hobby enthusiasm.  NOT FIXED
5.  Pianos no longer ADHD due to function arguments being garbage.  Supposedly fixed
6.  Teens able to work on restorable car again.                                 NOT FIXED
7.  Apartment resident kids not in the active family no longer lose grades
    every day and automatically fail school and get taken by the SS.        NOT FIXED
8.  No longer required to greet Gypsy(impossible) or employees<->customers.  NOT FIXED
9.  Should be able to retrieve date rewards dropped outside apartment now.   NOT FIXED
10. Love Potion no longer restocks as Nice Potion instead.                             NOT FIXED

That doesnt explain then how i added one single appt block to my neighbourhood with 4 flats in it and now i have an extra 206 characters in my char folder and looking in clean installer they are ALL pictures and names of new social townies

No Townie Regen NOT working for me with these AL townies

In the space of 2 simdays play it has created another 16 townies with the hack in the game

No idea of that hack works but i guess i am going to have to try it as i already have 160 new townies since installing AL

Great hack but i have noticed that I get a pop up for any townie who gets a body skill point through swimming

None for the other skills they get just body when swimming

Weird i have played all my sims through Uni since day one and have yet to have a dormie die or even pass out

Wonder if the same will happen with AL when it comes out if the other apartments on the block are filled with unwanted moronic townies

they switched server hosts and had a load of problems to begin with and are now slowly getting it all back to normal

are you sure the sprinklers have not broken  .    they do regularly

the first day its 100% guaranteed they will cheat death and each day after that the odds are supposed to drop by 10%

you also get tinkering skill by letting your sims play with the model helicopter plus it saves the huge fire that happens if the train set bursts into flames

not sure if it also works on the model car

Just seen on the official site under Freetime that EA have admitted to a cock up

If your sim has sewn the gold badge custom clothes it changes the skins file in game and the patch cannot install because of that and henceforth the message to uninstall and reinstall freetime when patching

Obviously they didnt test the patch installation but is this a first by them to admit fricking it up

Installed and tried the updated version . Comm lot skilling and hobby enthusiasm works fine for me now     Thanks Pes

Now just need to wait for Maxis to fix the violin so that when you play for tips it doesnt leave an invisible tip jar to bork squares > At least till then the stuckobjectsremover works great

My sims and townies are getting the normal skill BUT they are not getting any hobby enthusiasm points at all despite long sessions of bug hunting etc

Also they dont get any enthusiasm on hotel lots (is this fix supposed to enable it for hotel lots)

I know when you create a new hood the game spawns a FEW townies then stops . WHAT I WAS pointing out was that when i created a new hood this time it created ONE ( i repeat ONE) townie until i removed the fix then it created more . I was ASKING if this was supposed to happen . And ONCE again i also repeat i DO NOT have the notownieregen hack in my game . Obviously I am not going to get any further with these questions about the fix so i will now just drop it and leave all the so called super posters to go back to making fun of others .

OK it must be just my game then IT totally stopped townies spawning in a NEW hood and after taking it out they spawned > Ive never downloaded or installed the notownierespawn hack

Ok thanks i though this just stopped unwanted tour guides and charlatan not everyone spawning , Guess i will have to take it out for a few days to generate townies then re add it

Problem for me while the hack is ingame
I created a new hood from scratch and found out that while the fix was in the hood would not create any townies except one

On home lots it did not create any and just one teen on downtown lots . Once that one teen was created he was the only one who appeared on ANY downtown community lot  , It created the NPC's as necessary

So my new sim never got any townies walking by his house and every community lot downtown just had that one teen

I tried playing the game for a sim week to see if it was just a mishap on the first day but no success

PS in reply to next poster NO i havent also got the no townie regen hack

Thankyou Jm installed and tried this , lot hopping round the beach vacation lots and checked after

Still only the 40 tour guides i had before i installed so its stopped them spawning thank goodness
