MOAR Blue Flashing Shit!

[Haley]

I read the "effing blue flashing shit" thread down half the page, but it did not seem to solve my problemo. Hopefully one of you guys can direct me how to stop this craziness.

Before I start, let me say I have had this problem for YEARS, on five different computers and many different Sims installs. I am ready for it to be gone.

I have a family of elves. Yes, elves (more so Hyrule citizens with giant elf-like ears). I downloaded some elf ears from MTS2 or some other good freesite, and they work peachy keen. Then, all of a sudden, they start the flashing blue stupidity. I go "Change Appearance" in a mirror for a quick fix, but it never lasts through closing the game and starting it up again.

I tried the Lot Debugger, Fix > Flashing Blue > Sim, but that didn't really work. Well, no, I take that back. It DID work on my Sim(s), but then another object on the lot would start flashing blue when it wasn't before. Very frustrating.

Anyone got any suggestions as to how to fix this permanently? Or am I stuck in the flashing blue void for all eternity? Thanks.

Is ths elf ear an accessory? AFAIK there is no permanent fix for this problem.

Lot Debugger's "Fix Flashing Blue" is the same as Change Appearance in mirror. It only lasts for the playing session.
There are several old threads about this same issue. Search for flashing blue accessories for more info.

There is a new theory- tutorial by HP here:

Yeah, I remember that discovery. I was messing with some shit and found out that when I did something, shit stopped flashing blue. Doing Fix Flashing Blue would temporarily alleviate the problem, but doing that and THEN fixing flashing blue will eliminate it for good.
