Wow FeeEssen is good... and by good I mean she make the simplest design and fuck it up royally! I mean seriously I don't know many people who find those colors appealing even at the young age when bright colors are "So IN". But maybe I'm missing something?
I actually have one of feeEssen's meshes in my game (the bird perch that's pictured on page 1 of this thread) only because it came with somewhat better wood recolors by Hairfish of Mermaid Cove. I was very unpleasantly surprised when I first saw the base in all its ugly colored glory in Buy Mode!

yes, but... do YOU sit in a body of water during a thunderstorm? I mean, it seems like a no-brainer. People shouldn't have to alter their normal gameplay? Because, you know, nothing about having weather alters gameplay in the slightest We have to adapt to sims having temperatures now, we might as well adapt to the possibility of getting killed by lightning. I can adapt how I play my sims to accommodate weather and the risk of getting struck by lightning, but without a hack or cheat I can't do much about sims that are not currently under my control that haven't learned that sitting in a hot tub in a thunderstorm is now dangerous, short of moving all hot tubs indoors.

Haven't tried it yet, looks good on the surface.... but I wonder what would happen if you tried to install Delphy's Organiser with Q-Xpress? The link is there to do so.....

I use Insimenator OBJ edition, and I have all the sectionals available in the catalog. There's a Insim pie menu option to hide them from buy mode, but I like being able to put the sectional I need on my lot without having to spawn it in live mode. I've never used the SIM version, though, so I don't know if it's supposed to work like that or not.
Have you tried deleting groups.cache?

isn't macrovision a supplier of copy-protection techniques?
Yes; among other annoyances, Macrovision makes Safedisc, which doesn't actually keep anyone from being able to pirate the Sims but is a good target to curse out when your legitimately obtained CD won't read.

I'm not installing this patch until Pescado tells us why it's so big, even if the answer is they had to include a bunch of really huge sound files in an already overly bloated code mess. Hopefully he still will. 3 things, *big* patch, what? It doesn't fix much anyways - there'll hopefully be a better one along that... uh includes the pets fixes, I hope.
TSBin\Sims2EP5.exe CSBin\PackageInstaller.exe CSBin\TS2BodyShop.exe TSData\Res\ContentRegistry TSData\Res\Sound\Misc.package TSData\Res\Objects\objects.package TSData\Res\UI\ui.package TSData\Res\Overrides\HolidayNewYearsPartyPhoneCall_Override.package TSData\Res\GlobalLots\YACAS!.package TSData\Res\ObjectScripts\ObjectScripts.package TSData\Res\Config\Graphics Rules.sgr Hmm... that explains why some people on the BBS were saying that they had modified Graphics Rules.sgr and the Seasons patch wouldn't install because of it. Why you would mess with that file is lost on me, though.

read several reasons for this. faulty Custom eyebrows and default custom eyebrows custom skins and default of same. corrupted game file ...can't remember which one though.
I've also heard "video card under the minimum requirements for TS2", though this seems to be a common excuse for every graphic problem anyone has.

Wait, then, does that mean that if, when sims 3 comes out, you bought sims 2 base game (dirt cheap) and The Last Expansion (tm), and were Awesome, you could fool the game into unlocking ALL the EPs? What would you be missing, objects?
Probably, you'd be missing some of the Maxis graphics and animations, but not anything incredibly gamebreaking if you had custom content to compensate. When I was playing Sims 1 back in the day there were quite a few cloned custom objects that would work if you didn't have the right expansion pack, but would cause your sims to give you "missing animation!" thought bubbles while using them. Then again, a lot of cloned objects without the right expansion pack would disappear in live mode, show up but be completely non-functional, or just crash your game. :p

TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: Graphics Card of Suck? No Pond Fish & Snow Cursor
|
on: 2007 March 18, 06:58:02

I have an old graphics card (GeForce 4 MX 440), that does not know what a pixel shader is. I don't get the snow cursor or any option to toggle on or off the snow cursor, I don't get fish in ponds (though my sims can still go fishing), and I don't get fish in aquariums since EA broke it around Nightlife. :/ I've heard people claim that some of those come back if you use "boolprop useshaders true" regardless of whether your graphics card can actually use pixel shaders, but I don't want to stress my poor custom-content overloaded Sims 2 game any more by trying to do it.

I have SimPE, but it's overkill for me. I'm no hacker, and I have no creative talent. I just want to make sure my files work right. I would love to have a better, single program for recategorizing clothing and hair, flagging problem files (because they're in the wrong directory, too high poly, duplicates, empty packages, hacks which conflict with other hacks, hacks that came with something else I downloaded and are a surprise to me, are missing the mesh, are an abandoned mesh, etc.....), deleting without leaving a bigger mess behind, batch-fixing custom objects for OFB or Pets compatibility, and all that jazz. Character editing would be nice too, but it's not as essential to me as keeping the downloads folder under control.

MutantBunnyNo won't help me but maybe others. I have AC97 sound. My sound glitch seems to have been caused by the video driver. (Yes that can happen) However creative sound cards can be another horse. Which reminds me, to ask my son if he's updated his for his audigy. He usually does, but he lost sound in WOW. Possible a WOW patch doesn't like his drivers. He has sound everywhere else.But I'm not going there. He's a pretty good Computer tech in his own right.But right now he's baffled. So as you see not always EA Sim2 causing weird things to happen. I am not awesome in technical matters, but I am a WoW player and I might be able to help with some son bribery here. Has he tried messing with the "sound channels" slider under Audio Options? It was added recently, and it's been set wrong by default for quite a few people who have had to pull it towards the left side to get their sound working right again. http://www.blizzard.com/support/wow/?id=aww01656p1If all else fails, Blizzard's tech support is generally more useful than EAs and actually makes an effort to fix stuff.
