Okay well I got my fish back after I added the boolprop usershaders true to my list of cheats  so that my fish would show up,  but then I had to take it out because I started having another problem that I never had before.

  I would play the sims but about every five minutes of play the blue screen would come up and the hour glass would start spinning for about 3 or 4 minutes and then the game would start again.

I have an old computer and 1gig of ram but I only have a 256 mb Nividia g force fx 5200.   I might be able to save up for a better card but my question is if I have a DDR mother board base,  do I have to get only a ddr card?  because everything now is ddr2 or ddr3.  Will they work in my computer?    thanks

I have AGP but I think it is only 4 not 8, even though my card goes up to 8.

thanks TJ,  you are a doll   


YEAH!!!  my fish are back.   

okay I was reading about the fix for no fish because I lost mine since Pets.  Someone said you put in    "boolprop useshaders true"

Is that the way you write it in your user startup file?  I did not make mine but copied someone else's and they are all alias cheats.

can I add this one with the ones I already have?  and someone please write it out for me so I can copy and paste it.   thanks

from the dense and the old.       lol

I have two custom skin  that I turned into hairy werwolf. 

The first time I turned them, they kept their custom skins but since using your hack they are real werewolfs.  One was green and the other was a silver metalic robot skin by BinkLy13

the only thing wrong was when the man got into the bathtub he turned into default light skin and was kinda transparent.     but when he got out of the tub he was hairy again. 


thanks for the fix though, it works well enough until we get a patch for it,  if we ever do.  lol

thanks Jase,  I just downloaded your fix.   I have had the "can't move in because your pet is pregnat forever. 
 I just figured it was a hack causing my problem.   I am glad that it is an EA problem.   Maybe they will fix it if we ever get a patch. 
    I'm not holding my breath 'til then though.   


okay I am sorry to be so dense but I don't understand how to install this.  Do I put a copy of the fix in all of the folders that you specify?    thanks

I can't move anybody in any of my houses since Pets,  not even a townie.   I get a pop-up message that says,  "your pet is pregnant and you will have to wait until they give birth. ". 

The family did not have any pets or the townie.   

  Mine is probably from a hack, but the move in is definately buggy. 

that is too funny.      


Almost like my sim who wants to command his wife to sit up.   But mine only happens on one lot.    lol


Pets is sooo buggy!!!!

thanks, yes that was the one I wanted.   Well, I was close to the right name.   

didn't there use to be a hack here called  "no birthday party swarm?''   

  weil, I can't find it but maybe it was not here, if not sorry.   

his computer madness works with pets also.

almost everyone of my sims have these wants,  hopes so and so gets cured of lycrospy or werewofl,  and hope to see so and so howl

why do they care if the other sim has lycopsy, if they keep having that want I am going to give them lycropsy.  rofl

 and if they think I am inviting every werewolf over to their house just so they can hear them howl  they are out of their everlovin' minds.

I need a hack, no wanting to cure sims and no wanting to hear them howl.

yes it works for all skintones.  That is how I get my blue and green and pink townies.   


Yes, there is a free download but it will not work for Pets, it says "you have a later ep than for this one"  or something like that.   


 I have the purchased copy but he has only updated to OFB,  he has not made the one for Pets yet.

I always use simenhancer to change my skin tones.   I have had no problems using it.   I sure do miss it,   I hope Rick updates it soon.   I have e-mailed him but have not heard back from him yet.

fingers crossed and waiting.   

you think I might have too many hacks   duh     

my game is so messed up.   LMAO


this man wants to command his wife to speak, or sit up,  or just learn a command dammit.  rofl

mine resets everytime. 
They are all standing outside and most of the time and it says, so and so lost a grade because they missed school today, and so and so missed work today and next time it may be their job.   

oh crap,  I got the same issue,  between the lot resetting every time, and the not being able to move any sims in issue,   I am about ready to remove all of my hacks.   

  Like I could play without hacks, NOT           

I can't move any sims into my houses,  after I purpose move in,  then I get a message "your pet is pregnant and you have to wait until they give birth.

well the sim I asked to move in did not have any pets and the sim family I was trying to move him into, did not have any pets either

so, I tried it in several families, all without pets,  I even tried to move in a townie that I invited over but I still got the  pet is pregnant message...

Has anyone else had this problem?    Is it an ep problem or a hack problem.

I hope it is not a hack problem for it will take me all day to take them out and reload the game and so forth.   

  thanks

all my Dr. Pixel glasses were blue and not attached to their heads.  lol

but this is the funniest thing, this ladies dress was missing, even though it was in cass and bodyshop.  It was blue on her and her arms were sticking straight out and she glided across the floor, until I changed her clothes.   rofl

you know you are not a nice person.  I do know how to use a computer, I do not let it install anything I have mine set to notify when updates are available.  You should be ashamed of yourself, talking to an

elderly lady like that or to  anybody for that matter.  I may cry.      

  I iove MATY and I have never been talked to like that here.  I always thought this was a place where you could get help with any problem and not be attacked.  Oh they might razz me on occasion but that I can handle.





Vecky, I like it too except for the having to log in over and over, but it may be my Norton Anit-virus but it never did it before I got the 7.0

  thanks

well I got rid of it, it was in the add remove programs.   Now auto update is nagging me to get it back !!!!   argh

yes, I tried firefox but heard that is was not as secure as IE.   I dunno

I got the message, downloads are ready for your computer and I got the IE 7 in the critical downloads well I have it now and it keeps  deleting my cookies. 

 I have to log in to all my favorite sites over and over.   I have read the instruction manuel and it only tells you how to delete cookies not how to keep them. 

 I am going to have to get rid of this goofy thing and try to go back to 6.0.    It said there was a way to delete it or maybe I will just try using system restore.    I hate this thing.   

what is up with the elevator            I know I can't be the only one that is having a problem.

  First the damn werewolf got stuck in there and tonite my cat missed work, and the message came up "Benifer is starving"  so I got to looking for him and he was stuck in the elevator, half of his body was out and half was in and he was see through, like a ghost.  So was the vampire. 

 I know TJ has some kind of elevator hack but it is for community lots and for a different elevator problem if I am reading it correctly.

Is anybody else having this elevator problem?

well,  I was very disappointed because I thought they inherited the parents coats.  But my Red mother dog and my blue father dog had pups and they both turned out black.   What's up with that???

so, I adopted them out, I would have killed them but I havn't figured out how to do that yet.  I am a meanie.   lol

mine did not happen in a dorm but in a sim house. 

 I have squinge "never break elevator''.   That might be causing the problem, because it has not been updated  for pets.

 I will take it out and see if that helps.   thanks

my werewolfes can't use the elevator, they get in and then they turn into like a ghost and part of them is in the elevator and part of them are sticking out.   How weird is that
