thank you for your help.

 

hullo,

i don't have the latest ep, and i have removed the mod stuff, put back the original script package and i still cannot install the lastest patch. tried to play the game, but crashed to desktop after the plumb bob thing. i have tried to install the latest patch, and keep getting invalid file. can't figure out what's the conflicting file. so, i think i may reinstall the game. just need to know if the new install instructions posted work the same for me without the ep.
that's it.
and... thanks for all the hard work you do.

thanks for the tips. and... i put in the awesome mod, and my kid loves it.

i did not have awesome mod installed, but i am going to get it now. i did not know this was an old  issue. it started after i got the 1.4 update. i am also having problems with sound as the game recognizes the sound from a modem i do not use. i disabled it, and all was well, and then my scanner would not work. oh well.

was wondering if anyone was having this problem... the sims can't put their books away. it's really strange. they pick up the book to put it away, and then they try to walk through the wall. the little feet pattern comes up, and then they put the book on the floor. pick it up, take a few steps, and try to walk through the wall again. happens in every room of this particular house i built. the door is there to go through, and they just don't get it. really weird.

the book is either on the floor, or on the coffee table, and then i get this behavior.  it's really odd because when they leave the room and come back, they pick up the book and then put it away.

hullo,

i have been having this long pause in my game too. it appears to be random, and i cannot pinpoint it to any activity. i have one family in each neighborhood, and it's happening in both.  all of a sudden the screen freezes, and i just wait, and wait, and then... all's well again.
