If videos are included as stories I found this series with subtitles.
It has a plane crash, murder, a sandwich break (while being chased) and plot holes.

I had this problem but with bluewater (also no merged hoods and not using cd crack) and it crashed to desktop but it still actually created that hood but the terrain had giant holes missing in it. (Maxis Bluewater btw)
This only started happening after I installed Freetime though (patched) I reinstalled everything and added the hoods before I installed FT but I haven't tried it again.
I thought it may have something to do with either the empty hood templates which I probably borked and didn't backup properly or maybe when I patched the game.

rofl that's brilliant! I want to play that game.
Thanks again Sleepycat and thanks sissyangel 

tae.... your desktop needs cleaning....  look at all that crap. Plus sometimes it's best to keep your mouth shut than keep digging your own grave. 

They were?  I missed out I guess...

Thanks sleepycat 

When is this released anyway? (in europe) I looked at some sites before but they were all sketchy or had last years.

My Pleasantview always ends up backward because Don can't keep to himself. 
I normally use it as my testing grounds for new things and play strangetown or a custom neighbourhood.

That's because everyone goes to the same place when they die so every human that enters those pearly gates gets a kicking from an extinct animal. 

If you kill it won't you be hounded (ugh) by his ghost? (unless of course you deleted it) Actually i'd love to see a ghostly sim dog or cat. 

I've only got weird graphic stuff like that happen since i installed OFB i swear they keep changing the specs on every expansion. 

I think the autonomous actions of townies are more annoying especially the autonomous 'point and laugh at the one idiot townie dancing on the dance floor' since OFB the amount of people on my lots has increased so the amount of people crowding round to point and laugh at the same time has increased.
Funny the first time seeing the whole gang of them laughing but after half hour of NPC's stopping to take an order/serve dinner to laugh gets old fast especially with the date timer going down.   

I swear that everytime there's a stop-autonomous (insert annoyance here) hack sims find a new attraction to something to annoy everyone even more. 

Impaled by a gnome... what a way to go  and in the worst area too.

Weirdest Glitch I got was way back with the haunted teddy that moved around the lot.


Praise the almighty teddy 

Sorry to revive this thread ^_^;
I get this problem a lot too...
At first my pc would restart but after I got some more Ram it seemed to have cleared that restarting problem up.
But i'm curious as to if it's my graphics card or a program conflict since I used to have conflicts before with sims1 and it turned out to be an art program and dvd player. 

I had this happened a lot when I only had the the first without the expansions  but i don't see it much anymore... although I've noticed that some of the young adults in simpe have portaits of ... lock jaw.   How weird.
I sometimes get that broken arm glitch where a sim's arm sticks out... I thought that was meant to be fixed. 

When someone was accused for stealing a mesh none of the people on the forum seemed to understand the phase 'do not redistribute as a part etc' then they complained that there was no mention of it in the readme. It made me laugh.
The only way to scare people into doing low polygon counts is to tell them their game will crash and no one will like them anymore 

VS kind of annoyed me because TJ just seemed to vanish into thin air... no post, no nothing... so the first place i came was here. It seems like they're taking out their frustration on innocent bystanders who are just curious to ask.
Things sure have taken a change over the past year 

I haven't seen the downtownies get into a fight yet.. although they did have a poking match where the guy got so mad he walked off the lot. miss crumplebottom sure is an alcoholic on my lots...

Sims sure do talk a lot at the dinner table... but it's mostly annoying when you're trying to get them off to work/school and their hunger meter isn't going up very fast.... they seem to giggle at nothing too at times  (no one farted or burped)
I didn't realise till I had an open kitchen/living room sims eating can still talk to sims reading a book or sitting down elsewhere. 

I miss the phone hack... it was useful...  but since NL my phone doesn't stop ringing... where before my sims just left it ring and ring they always seem to answer it by themselves. Sims sure are addicted to downtown.

They might hurt themselves with a spoon.  
But that's true... any food that doesn't involve using an oven a kid should be able to make or at least use a microwave.

Sounds like heaven to me  and you wouldn't game any weight either until you pop out of limbo.

Eyes like that would have been cool on alien vampires... i wonder why maxis didn't think of that  human eyes on alien especially if it has big eyes... look weird.

Hehe he does.... he's always the first one to go around insulting people... I haven't met a sim yet that got on well with him 

Posting on the sims2 bbs doesn't get anything answered because they seem to think every problem and bug is down to a graphics card... oh plus the fact they don't like anyone that can spell. 

Shame... I loved useful hacks like that... it speeded up time instead of playing hide and seek the bills before they explode because my sims like to automatically bring in the mail

I created a character in strangetown and for some reason the only friends she ever brought home were the grunt boys so I made friends with them. But the odd thing was all 3 seemed to like her and they flirted with her on their own accord...  talk about causing a drama... (that's how i discovered sims could flirt without being told) and that was before NL sims seem to like flirting with everything that moves even if their married in NL.
Ajay loner keeps flirting with jenny smith since she arrived at his door to welcome him to the neighbourhood  that's annoying because his wants are filled with 'chat with, play with, stalk'. (okay not really stalk but he might as well) 

she's saying 'There's more than one fish in the sea'

I have a UK version so I presume it would work the same 

My friend had a problem where she hired a nanny to look after a child while she was out on a date and called the gyspy and brought a love potion and when it was used the child got taken away by the social... I'm not sure if she has a hack or not... i'd have to ask her. 

I noticed that plumbobs look more... shiney.
Is it me or are sims more expressive at the dinner table now? They seem to chat more and their faces look more emotional

I kind of miss the silly little dancing they used to do to the stereo, I wish they made the dancing downtown separate to the dancing with the stereo at home...
