Looks like a sweet ride to me.  I may have to drive a "mommy vehicle" due to practicality but my simself is going to have this hot car.

No I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for letting us know SaraMK.

Aww thanks Li'l Brudder. 

Lol PandaGirl. Why belly buttons? 

*feels very sheepish for not seeing this before and sits down to patiently wait until the awesome hair & dress are reuploaded 

I'm having a hard time thinking clearly at the moment (migraine) but I thought leftover problems are due to a CC fridge. Could that be the cause of your problem?

Some of the recipes in the Prima guide appear to be incorrect. I tried 4 lemons to make lemonade and it didn't work. I only had the options to remove the produce or stock more. It actually took 6 lemons to make one serving of lemonade. I haven't tried with the other recipes yet to see how accurate they are. It's not surprising though, the previous Prima guides do have their share of errors. I don't know if it would be an error on the part of the Prima folks or if it's due to the Maxoids making changes afterward.

*screams in terror* Looks like they fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way to the ground. 
 

I've sent you a PM Rho. I hope it helps. 

I downloaded the updated lot debugger. I'm not finding the option to delete the glitched pregnancy though. 

I'd recommend rolling back to your most recent neighborhood backup now. No sense putting all that work into the neighborhood to just have it explode later on. If you made a backup right before installing Seasons then you've only lost a couple days of work. It's what I would be doing now if I'd played until the twins were born.

Thanks Ness, I'll go give the debugger a try.

That would be wonderful. Thanks Pescado! 

So time is of the essence and you have to do something before Sam Ottomas gives birth. What would be the best (and easiest for the technologically challenged) program for deleting/aborting Sam Ottomas' messed up pregnancy? I'm not familiar with Insiminator and I haven't used SimPE for a pregnancy. I wish there was a simple "Miscarry the demon spawn" hack.

Or would it be better to kill her off before the twins are born? Would I need to keep her tombstone somewhere or can I delete it?

I dunno. I was tempted to wait until Insiminator or SimPE is updated but from what JM said about them being irreversibly corrupt I'm not sure if I want to try. I'm definitely not awesome enough to repair character files. I wouldn't even begin to know how to use the rollback or blank template techniques. I'd also hate to find that there was something else FUBARed with the Ottomas. I'm finding myself leaning toward a tragic family death. They could be the first residents of my Riverblossom Hills Cemetery. 

Ok, now I'm confused. The codes for the trellis are all the same?  How's this supposed to work with the "code can only be used 3 times" rule? I'm assuming the codes are the same for the other objects as well.

Oh crud! I just finished playing the Ottomas up to about 4 hours before Sam's due to give birth to those twins. I do not want a screwed up family tree!  I should be able to use SimPE (once it's updated) to get rid of this screwed up pregnancy, then get her pregnant again by her husband to correct the problem right?

That's good to know. I think I'll go ahead and put my files back in. As long as it doesn't affect the new clothes I'm happy.

Does this work ok with Seasons? I'm no where near awesome so I wasn't sure if this would conflict with the new outerwear feature or not. 

I have seen numerous posts on the BBS that the download codes aren't working right now. I'm so surprised. The only thing I can think of is that the downloads aren't activated yet. Barring any problems I'll be getting Seasons from Target tomorrow. With the lovely garden trellis. 

Last night I noticed a link on a BBS post to this Life Stories guide- http://guides.gamepressure.com/thesimslifestories/guide.asp?ID=2205 Glancing at the different chapters it does look like it could be helpful. I don't know for sure since I don't have the game. Hopefully there's something in there to help you Scratch.

Thanks Blubug I'll make sure to look into that. 

I have the same card you have, 7600 GS AGP. Admittedly my problems are not really bad, it will tend to happen during my marathon playing sessions of 4+ hours.  Or if I web surf for an hour or so before I start playing. If I turn of the computer and give it a 20 minute break before I begin playing and then another 20 minute break every 2-3 hours of gameplay I don't have the problems. When it does the reboot Windows error says that the problem was due to the "device driver" forcing Windows to shut down. I'm using the drivers from November.

So we'll have to say goodbye to the fish until they get this worked out? That's a shame. I hope they're finally able to get the problems taken care of. I upgraded to a Nvidia Geforce 7600 because I wasn't sure which ATI I should get that would be the equivalent. It was disappointing to still experience occasional crashes and reboots. 

How about you go first ThyGuy? Can we smear lamp oil on your head, set you on fire and watch you run around screaming in agony?

As someone who's seen all too often animals subjected to abuse such as you describe I fail to find what you say humorous at all. I find it sick and disturbing.

I'm suddenly reminded of how sim toddlers will eat the pet food when given the chance. I really wish I hadn't remembered that right now. 

Don't we all. 

I've been having the tombstone problem again since Pets. Luckily it didn't disappear for good when I sent a sim to the cemetery to retrieve the tombstone. For now I've designated a former townie as the owner of all the cemetery lots (one per hood and each sub-hood). It's really interesting how it's working for me now. I first sent the family member of the deceased sim or pet to place the tombstone at the cemetery lot then I sent the sim back home and saved the game. Next I had the owner go to the cemetery to place the tombstones again because I assumed they would now be by the payphone. When I sent the owner to the cemetery the tombstones were exactly where I had the family member place them.
