SimMoon you can get a copy of the nocd exe from game copy world that should fix your problem

Ah ok, I didn't know the bonus unlocks were different.  I recieved an unlock with the game that had the throne rooms and a few outfits but I think that is the same as one that was given earlier.

There is a mod that unlocks the items (as well as the ambitions) here http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=438511 and another mod that removes the failed route animation here http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?p=3488338&posted=1#post3488338  for someone that posted earlier that it bugged them

Ah thanks, the link I tried earlier at MTS took me to some buy fix mod 

So the only way of enabling testing cheats in this pain in the arse game is to modify the command.ini file?

I offer this for all the booty lovers



and a special request by my husband (tunaisafish) for all you T$R haters



Be advised the back is a bit crude and therefore the picture is in the zip not on display

As I mentioned to Inge last night, the house was borkened in my game also.  Even removing and replacing windows didn't help  and the walls seemed to melt through the bottom of the windows on closer view.  For the record I didn't put the hacks in so it wasn't a hack conflict.

All of them!

Inge if you want to upload the house I will test it in my game and see how it comes out, might be able to tell if it's hack related then

Thanks for the link Invisigoth.  Inge, do you know if Peter has the clothing mesh extractor ready for this version yet? (Not that I have much time for meshing at the moment )

I guess they are too busy working on their next screw up

If we didn't like wasting time we wouldn't play the sims and be here

Have you tried deleting your groups.cache file? My sims kept getting stuck with the same LTWs all the time even though I had lots more choices, after deleting the file my sims started having more choices.  It's worth a try if you haven't.

Once is was installed Angelyne you should have been able to put your backed up neighbourhoods over the top of the screwed ones and had things back to normal name wise.  Quite frankly for what was in th pack and the amount of grief it caused I don't think it was really worth it.

Skadi when you edit the registry don't change the hexadecimal value from 1.  I have just changed mine and it is now working, if it still doesn't work for you then you may need to copy the us-en support file over.  If you have probblems then post back here and I will post pathways.

Ya know Hitch it's just so funny that I have always bought my copies here in Brisbane, from 3 different retailers and not once has my clock changed to 24 hour time.  This is the first time there has ever been any problems.  Maybe there were different batches sent around the country, or maybe you are not even in Australia but just like to make an ass of yourself.

Yes Skadi but with your new Celebrations pack, that you paid for, you cannot change the clock.  I bought my copy and cannot change the clock either, I even copied over a us-en support file into the Celebrations directory to see if that would help but to no avail.

I have a feeling that those who are able to change are using either bit torrented copies or not the copies that we bought in Australia.  I bought mine in Brisbane.

Is it possible the people that aren't having problems with it in Aus are using bit torrented copies and not bought versions?

Hitch you are an airhead!  Reread my first post *throughly* if you are capable and you will find that the fix does not work for the celebration pack.  Maybe if you pull your head out from your arse for long enough you would know that.

I got the "uninstall and reinstall" message when trying to patch seasons.  On Twains advise I did uninstall and reinstall Seasons and the patch worked fine.

It seems in EA's ultimate wisdom they sent the UK english version of celebrations to Australia instead of the US english version.  Besides changing the clock to 24 hour time, seems it can also alter names.  I know that this isn't something new to people who have used mixed packs but whereas there was a fix by changing the registry this doesn't work with Celebration pack due to their being no US-en support files for it to switch too.

I know backing up your game is a recomendation in any case before installing an expansion, but I stupidly had become complacent and not done so (especially considering this was just supposed to be stuff) and consequently have lost months of gameplay.  Changing the names of the pets in game wasn't an option because when I went to do that the game seemed to think they were plant sims not pets. Who would have thought

Thanks Blue

Looks like I know what I will be doing today!

JadeElliott, do you know where I might be able to get those beaded blinds, I located the Sims2Play website but they were not listed there.  They have some nice stuff there.

Don't know if it's any real help Dr Beast but I found the link I had mentioned, doesn't look good though....

I'd like to see the Baby Grande piano from Sims 1 make a remergence, it always added a touch of class to a place.
