It would also be nice to be able to influence those idiot townie-teens to do my sims' homework. It would give them some use.

The lack of thumbs probably 

Wow, I'm a bit overwhelmed. This would probably require even more note-taking than the apocalypse challenge 

Delete the sim and use tombstone of LnD to 'get family member'

I've had this many, many times. It seems to occur when I delete the rose bouquet when my sims are in the endless cycle of putting it down. They jump, and are unable to interact.

Or sim A was being an asshole and sold all the stuff that was in the dormie rooms, and now sim B pays the price. 

Hehe, welcome to the Nvidia club    *has messed-up grapics as well*

Sending a Mad Scientist to work with a satellite in his inventory will unlock the alien technology restriction, so you won't have to get your sim abducted, which is a huge gamble.

Just a guess, turn on debug mode, and see if your skins show up.

Do you mean banners? I don't believe there are any.

Sounds good to me. Snapdragons make this challenge a LOT easier, and the whole point is to make this as difficult as possible.

Mmm, but that doesn't explain why my older windows do let in light. If OFB upped the requirements for letting in light, than all of my windows should be borked.

My OFB windows do this as well. I generally only use those old-fashioned ones, with the diamond shaped little pieces of glass, they don't let in any light either. To keep my houses from being completely dark I've started to use them only for show on the street side of my houses, and put base-game windows on the other walls.
I reckon it's caused by Maxis, since I didn't have any kind of lightning mod when I started noticing this problem. It's just weid they haven't fixed this with the patch.

Here, try this * hands ElfPuddle a large bottle of bleach*

Back here we have free stickers that you can stick on your mailbox. Yes/Yes for people wo want all the crap they can get, Yes/No for people who don't want flyers and crap but do want the local papers, and No/No for people who only want stuff with their specific adress on it.

Please do, I'm really getting fed up with my retarded looking infants.

I personally wouldn't be to happy about advertisement in the Sims. My hoods are my little dream worlds and the less it looks like RL the better. I really like that everything is 'simized' in the game, like the custom alphabet, and all the logos. Really don't know how to express this, it's just, meh, not my cup of tea.

It happends to all babies, removing/redownloading doesn't work. I guess I broke it somehow by spawning that damned sim modder.

well, occasionally my 'mission' beds would turn this blue-ish colour that I later learned is the colour of those castle beds from FFS, as if the texture was hidden somewhere in OFB. Plus people (Numenor etc.) have extracted thumbnails of all FFS items from OFB.

Yuck, that's so tacky. I'm definitly not missing out on this one.

I seem to be having a problem with those jumpers though. Instead of displaying the mesh that comes with that download, in my game the diaper shape still showes up, with the jumper painted on it. At first it did display properly, it seems that my problem started after I had used debug mode to spawn the sim modder. That modder diplays as a regular baby in diaper, so could it be that this has somehow reset my game to the maxis mesh?

The only drawback for me is that you have to turn your neighbourhood view all the way up to extra large. My computer will simply explode if I'd try to do that. Pity, it looks fabulous.

Or you could put them in a house, turn the game speed to turbo and go and do something else. It shouldn't take too long for them to die, and that way their family tree won't look too wonky (Imagine, if Lilith and Angela had grandkids, Marie-Sue and Daniel both dead, but the Oldies still alive. That would be rather weird)

Well you could just copy some Maxis eyes, paste them on Louis' skins, and save them (using SimPE). That should make your Sims 'fall back' to that particular Maxis eye colour. However, if you want different colours, you'd still need to give them contacts.

You would'n happen to have Louis' skins as your default, would you? They have clear eyes painted on them, maybe that's what your getting. My advice, download some contacts and give them some normal eyes manually.

Do what I do; flip the fridge towards the wall. Works like a charm, even with nannies. (Just don't forget to unflip it every now and then  )
