Title: No apartment icon (?) in neighborhood view
Post by: JacquiES on 2008 October 05, 14:52:06
I have a very minor gltich/bug, not really sure which.  I don't know what that green apartment building icon thing that floats over apartments in neighborhood view is called (plumbob?) but they are not present in my game.  I noticed it playing Belladonna Cove the day I got it, in a vanilla game, but just figured it was something that didn't make it into the game for some reason.  However, I have seen pictures of people's games and there it is.  I now have my hacks back in the game, the DC from here along with some of TJ's and SW's but as it didn't show up in a vanilla game I don't think it is hack or CC related.  Is there something I have to enable to make it present in my game or am I just going to have to do without?  As I said, it's obviously not a game breaking issue, but I would like to be as special as everyone else.   :-\  lol.

By the way, the plumbobs show up over the houses still and the dollar signs over the businesses.

Rumors that I had anything to do with this are blatantly false, because it works fine in my game. Once again, I point the blame squarely at tight pants.

I didn't have any hacks or CC in though when I installed the game and they weren't there.

Maybe some CC was hiding somewhere where you didn't expect it, a wrong folder for example? I had the same problem and a binary search revealed that it was related to an outdtated version of "cs_corefuncs.package", which is from this site and has to do with the stuff converted from Castaway Stories. Do a search for that in your entire Sims 2 folder and if you find it, download the updated version. Once I updated it to the version of 26 May 2008, the icons showed fine for me.

This might be it, thanks.  A search on here also found that this is the reason the waves on my beach lots don't reach the shore.  Thanks for your help, I guess I missed this one.

That's the one causing the problem for me too.  Pescado says he can't reproduce the problem, so I've decided to just live with it.

Huh. I have cs_corefuncs and have apartment icons. Looks like version date is 5/26/08.
