I wouldn't have believed it myself, but the evidence is there, right down to having one interacting with this very thread. Granted, it has zero comprehension skills and its communications are rudimentary at best, but I guess even marsupials have to start somewhere.

Also, there is only one creature in this thread that doesn't know how to fix AM to work beyond its expiration date. This hint will be difficult, but I'm sure it will be deciphered in time; it's not the FOJ, jezzer, merlin, or me.

Note: Escaped 'Dome residents are not capable of enough thought to qualify as living creatures, so they are not acknowledged.

While that is true, retreading old ground would be fruitless at this point. It was 'Domed, so the depths of its stupidity are already roundly known.

Also, isn't that so cute? It thinks it's Lazarus. I didn't know possums read the bible.

We don't take kindly to possums around here. Can't you just be dead for real?

Also, AM versions don't self destruct, they are perfectly usable for as long as you like. You just have to be smart enough to... well, I don't want to spoil the fun of finding out for yourself.

Caveat: Using an old version of AM can be bad for your health, and is not recommended.

Damnit, I had something for this! Oh, wait, I know:


Did you lose your life? I would offer to help you find it, except that I don't believe it existed in the first place.

Wait.


It was friendly with the Alphatard, and has taken this long to soup? Was it attempting irony maybe?

Rubyelf is wrong. Continuing to abuse punctuation will make you very popular here.

Yes, using the "Run as Administrator" does sometimes make a difference.

Just to be sure, when you are installing, are you running the installer as an administrator? It sounds like Windoze may not be installing everything where it should, and the UAC in 7 can sometimes cause this, especially with older programs.

Oh hai guys. I totally have this problem with TS2. I Googled what to do, but instead of doing what I was told to do, I figured I'd come here and start a new thread. Unfortunately, someone beat me to it.

Also, there is a LOT of useless information in your post. Seriously, just tell us what you actually did to fix the problem, leave out all the extra bullshit, and maybe we can tell you what you didn't do.

As far as the problem goes, I recall this happened to me when I upgraded to Windoze 7. Have you tried putting in the TS2 disks to see if it will default to installation, even though you already installed it? If that doesn't work, I think you have to edit something, maybe the registry, though I don't recall, to remove the TS2 uninstaller from your program list. Again, my recollection is foggy, but I do recall that as long as the TS2 programs were stuck in my programs list, I could neither uninstall nor reinstall the games.

ETA: Actually, it occurs to me that this could be a complete PEBCAK. When you try to uninstall a TS2 expansion, it gives a warning that doing so could bork your saves. Is this the warning that you got? If not, what is the EXACT warning that you get when trying to uninstall the base game?

There is an obvious PEBCAK here, but I can't quite place my finger on i- no, wait, there it is.

WRONG. There is one cure for this error, and KT knows EXACTLY what it is.

Do you actually need to update AM, or are you just using the updater to launch the game?

What command is that? How do we know you are not doing it wrong if you don't tell us? What happens when you input said command?


And you didn't see any of these "baby talk" responses in those threads? Which ones did you read? Also, I find your post to be much more emblematic of baby talk than any of the light sporkings that have been sent your way. If anything, the response to yet another one of these threads is incredibly mild. Ignoring this type of post simply invites more of its kind, and that would be unacceptable.


Wait, what? Didn't you just accuse us of baby talk? My six year old nephew can write more coherent sentences than that.


This could have been avoided if you read the "READ THIS BEFORE POSTING" sticky. Oh well, what's done is done.


Not while you're still here posting. That would be rude to everyone else.

We cannot do that. Doing so would only encourage more idiotic posts like this.

If you know how we are, then why did you post this?


For the record, the question is rhetorical. We all know it's because you're stupid.

By jove, you've got it! See, you've proven yourself to be a lazy, moronic tard, and we don't like tards of any stripe here. Their posts tend to end up in the 'Dome. Quite shocking, no?

Now, be a good tard and FOAD. The soup should be delicious if prepared correctly.

Then why did you use an ellipsis?

Wait, when did this thread become about music?

You're right, of course. Notouching's failings are directly related to its humanity.

Wow, they did both sign up within days of each other. February/March 2008 were good months for 'tards, apparently.

ETA: Not that EVERYONE who joined in March 2008 is a tard. Please don't hit me, master! I didn't know when I posted it!

You found what you were looking for, and got a mild sporking to go with it. Welcome to MATY, you're clearly new he- oh, WAIT! You've been here since 2008? Hmm, I guess I'd better update my list of known tards.

Rubyelf, did you try doing a general resetsim* with just AM installed, and then a check to see if the problem persisted? If memory serves, removing AM causes the 'hood to reset when you load it, so that could be what is fixing the problem when you remove AM.


I am going to assume that you have disabled the trait cap before posting, because I am hoping, since you posted in the right place, that you are not completely stupid. With that said, have you tested on an adult to verify that it does not work on any sims?

It is an 18, so a certain level of stupid is to be expected. Just look at the moronic avatard.

No more crazy cat lady, huh? What a loss indeed.

You realize that ages are only recognized in 6's at MATY, right?  That means all teens are 12's. This is backed by the in game modeling.

Unfortunately, I can't enable paedo-flames couplings.

Hey, you're the one with the badge. Don't expect me to do your job for you, as I have other AIDE-ly business to not be tending to.
