I've had a successful restaurant, without BRY but the the host, cook and server were all family. Keeps wages low. First day the business made $1000 and has been growing since. Only employed servers, since the playables ran everything else.
BRY makes it easier though.

Restaurants: Family Business!

I would like to second how wonderful this mod is.

However I am getting the same experience as cascaneda, I have exported Angela and Lilith Pleasant, after making new modified clones in Bodyshop I have tried to sim surgery them.

When I first click load the saved sims folder comes up. I select the newly created sim. When it returns to the simsurgery screen it has the file name correct, but once I click on use, it goes to the thumbnail and name of the patient sim.

I'm running all expansions and all stuff packs inc Celebrations. I'm running SimPe 0.60.2.20832
I haven't had any error messages.

-Skadi

I'm actually taking the EAxis textures from celebrations and sticking them on other maxis meshes. Looks way better, IMHO.


-Skadi

I would love a deadlier illness, and random car related deaths. Instead of teens getting acne they could get ill, and be contagious.

The only "accidental" death in my game was when I had a sim with an influence... prank want do it, her sim husband electrocuted and killed her brother at her wedding.

At one stage, during my apocalypse challenge I was rolling at birth and every age transition for death, either by risky childbirth or a "failure " to thrive.

I know in real live death can be a tragic painful thing, but my game is so saccharine at the moment, I need drama. Maybe not days of our lives drama, but something.
-Skadi

To be honest, it was worth it only cause I create.

I'll probably end up ripping the EA textures and remeshing the dresses and stuff.

I don't think it added any new socials or special behaviour, which I would have loved.
Like something to make the bridesmaids dress the same, or different cake interactions. The furniture is cheap, therefore doesn't give you any reason to use it. I still think Glamour gave you the most, but this is better than Family Fun and the Holiday pack [just cause you can use it anytime]

-Skadi

Normally maxis objects won't totally furbar the load times.
Have you got as far as re-enabling the custom content?

-Skadi

You basically getting the same thing we did Angelyne.

If you follow the link to the bbs, and go through those steps, it should fix everything for you.
If not then uninstall.

-Skadi

I did a full install, and did the same thing as before and its playing nice now.
Damn borked EA crap.

-Skadi

I'm in Brisbane too.
A bad batch perhaps?

I have almost finished reinstalling, so we'll see then.

-Skadi

No, I forked out 29.95 at Big W for my Celebration Stuff with new and shiny random name feature.

I think I would be less annoyed if I had pirated it. Then I would have at least got what I paid for! 

I have all eps, and stuff packs, all patches etc.

No EA link downloads, all discs, never had this issue before, but had played with the clock.
*sigh*

-Skadi

Well, it didn't work for me, but it did work for someone else on my forum.

I'm off to do the time honoured re-install.

From what I gather about Sara's experience, if you do this straight after installing, before loading it should work. [at least, it did for her].

Is there no limit to what EA can bork?

-Skadi

Hitch, what state in Aus are you in? Where did you get your copy?

I'm beginning to be concerned with EA borkedness.

Did you get the name change as well, or just the clock change?

-Skadi

Ahem. Herself.

And I have also done it. But since Celebrations it is no longer working.

There is no bleating here. Just Hitch proving that reading and comprehending are very different things.

-Skadi

Yawn. Thanks for the so called wit Hitch.


Been there and tried the normal fix, it didn't work, that's the reason I was asking about a fix for this. Try reading. It normally helps.

-Skadi

Yeah, I'm pissed about this.
My lovely custom hood got weird names, but only for CAS sims. All sims born in game were okay.
Is there any fix for the clock? Could some one post a link if there is?

*sigh*

What a waste of $30.00

-Skadi

Feet? What feet?

-Skadi

I agree, that they are too small. Particularly for teens. Gawd knows I was a c cup buy the time I was 13. I want my sims to have that too.

-Skadi
[who's boobies enter the room before she does, and they are real!]

I was over that the second time they ran to the windows.
They will drop everything every single time it snows/rains/etc.

I would mind it if it was only once, like the first time a sim sees snow.

It even does it with free will off.

Grrr.

Willing to test any hack etc. I've had my game going for 2 days now, and otherwise love it.

Maybe a hack to stop the pond freezing over. Its not like you can skate on it or anything.

-Skadi

I got mine yesterday, but no lies and propaganda guide, and no bonus.
I have however started putting tips and screenies on my sites forum.

Those shorts are truly evil, horrible things. That leopard print set is a very close second.

*skadi grabs eyebleach*

-Skadi

We do lots of lots at Sublime.

Starters and bigger. Most furnished with basic maxis furnishings.
Vashti and Tom know how to squeeze furnishings in to a starter lot.
-Skadi

The only thing I like is the stepping stone "rug".
Some of the other items are not bad, but I'd be happier if they didn't treat it like an expasion.
-Skadi

and if the hygiene score in the home drops really low, enough for someone to get a stinky cloud, then the maid would refuse to "do laundry" and would take a drop in Daily relationship witht he smelly person.
This could be fun, just as long as it isn't an expansion pack in itself: The Sims 2: Laundromat Fun and Suds!

I'm hoping it is just a unique case of PEBCK with a dose of dodgy windows/bodyshop interaction.
Thanks for your tiem and help!
