¿WHY the faces changed?

[aurorakimmykitty]

Hi, everyone... if anyone could help me, I'd apreciate it.

I recently installed Pets and Bon Voyage, but I had to uninstall Bon Voyage because it was slowing down my game. Then I put the security copy I made for the documents of EA games. I tried to make a family of four and a dog. Everything was ok. I finished and then when I put them in a lot and entered, their faces were different. Huh I deleted the family and make it one more time without a pet and turned down ok. I made the dog in a separate family and combined them. Nothing bad happened.

But when I tried to make a family of two with a pet, happened the same thing with the faces.

Is any solution to my problem? Or God is insinuating that I should adopt a dog? Wink

Someone please help me!!

Thank you. Smiley

Did you patch Pets.  According to MTS2 this bug was fixed in patch

But when I tried to put a patch (not on pets, on the base game) It crashed my game and it was Awful.... Are you sure I should do that?

I think you're supposed to patch Petz itself, not the base game.

It's been a very long time since I patched base game, so I won't hazard a guess why that patch crashed your game, but that patch had a lot of important fixes in it.  Unpatched base game has a few very nasty problems - main thing to know is that all the base game lots in your lotbin are unsafe.  You need to go into each one in build mode and edit something before you move any sims in.  Search MATY ro google for "the bomb that killed happy valley".  Here's one...

The Pets patch obviously won't work on base game, but if you've just added Pets, yes you should add the Pets patch. 

To protect your game, make a back up of your game before you install anything like a patch or EP.  Simplest is to back up the whole Sims2 folder, but you can just do key bits like 'hoods and downloads if you want.  That way, if anything goes wrong, you can get back to where you were.  If you are really worried, take your entire Sims2 folder out of My Documents, start up the game and check that everything is OK in one of the newly generated template 'hoods.  Re-enable CC in the game options, then quit. Next, put your own stuff back.  Don't overwrite the folders - delete and replace or you'll mix up two versions of Pleasant view and have a real mess on your hands. 

I'm not good at step by step instructions.  Check out the how to's on MTS2 ...
