I take it your sim actually has points in the secondary aspiration screen? I can't remember if fresh CAS sims had any points. I know I use the debugger to upgrade my CAS sims.

Also AMD + SP3 = evil. Can you roll your windows back to SP2 at all?

I have a new AL hood that I started for a new apoc challenge. I created 16 townies, turned 11 pre-made characters into townies, and made 16 YAs for the Uni. Family has 1 CAS sim and 4 born in game. I have wolves, but no strays. Total number of character files: 148. I'm using clean templates and all the no regen hacks. I'm not sure why some hoods get less than others.

What a hair raising experience. 

It took 15 hours for my download. All 3.2gbs. If you want an invite to funfile, PM me.

I love all 3 of the anarchist cat designs, the retar-doh card, the 3 souper designs and the macro caffeinate mug. The FFS would also be considered. I need new shirts, mugs and a mouse pad. I hope you have room to sell more than 5.

There is no autosave! The best thing to do is to save at the beginning of each era, and that way you can go back if you're not happy with how things are working out.

Save as soon as you enter the space stage, particularly if its your first time playing it.

I'm in the process of writing a guide/faq. It's being updated twice a day at this stage as I add more and more to it. Has cheats, cell and creature stage now, and I'll be adding tribal shortly. I'm also waiting for it to clear the queue at GameFAQ's.

These are the 2 threads I found helpful about the space age.

The manual that I posted a link to has all the info about the different abilities you can earn at the end of each stage, and what they give you.

I can throw you an invite to funfile if you want.

Go the borg 

I've gotten to the space stage too, but I keep losing track of certain planets when I get too many missions at once. I would also love to know the minimum design specs for the space craft, or does it not matter what is on it in terms of engines for air, water and space?

Have you tried it in debug mode to see if it generates an error log?

And here is a no sparklies hack for those with lag issues.
http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=299567

That cheat only allows you to merge above the 8 sim limit in the neighbourhood view. To have babies or puppies/kittens you will need lotfullofsims. That's how I do it in my game.

There used to be a simpe add on that allowed you to do simsurgery from a saved bodyshop sim.  You would use simpe to export the sim, as a toddler, open bodyshop, clone the exported sim, make the changes you wanted (optionally flicking between ages to see what the spawn will look like), save the sim and then use this plug in to save the body shop sim over the in game toddler(s).

That's what I always did, I didn't want to have clones running around my hood, and Deleted2 is to much of a pain in the arse fro me.

Is it possibly 2 hacks? There is this one at mts2:Yay! Gardens can have terrains! (Invisible Garden Plot Bases) - Default Replacement]=http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=282161]Yay! Gardens can have terrains! (Invisible Garden Plot Bases) - Default Replacement

How about being locked in a room with angry ghosts?

File is coming up with a 404 error for me.

My emulation software issue just required closing daemon tools and yasu, nothing needed to be uninstalled.

Oh I see stuttering.

Now, don't laugh...
AMD Sempron 3100+
1GB Ram
ATI 9550 128MB

No other problems with lag.

However: this seems to have abated a bit with K&B stuff added.

I'm getting this too in a clean hood, with not many people in the house hold phone book. No errors are generated, but it pisses me off to no end.

I what I want to know is what happens now with custom clothes? Are they going to change where it saves, or remove the update to the skins.package?

In the mean time if I make that file read only, then I can't make custom clothes...

Either way the end user get fucked over.

Off topic, but mistersexylicious is Tom from my forum. Sorry to disappoint. He's got an unusual personality, and a thing for Judge Judy. But great talent when building houses.

Meanwhile I don't know if it can get worse than Hitler in a corset. Sussi's pirate queen is up there.
