I know it's not directly an awesomemod question, but I didn't think it deserved a special thread...

Is it safe to change sex using editsim? I didn't know if this was just an appearance thing, or something special.

Sorry for the necromancy, but I am having this problem and am totally stumped. I have completely patched the Base game, and it didn't fix the problem. I have reinstalled several times, with the same problem each time (I also deleted all the extra files left behind, along with the entries in the registry on each uninstall). I have even tried not patching at all, and letting the WA installer do it. I don't want to use the launcher, and I don't think it would help at all since I am completely patched anyway. Do I have any other options, or am I just totally screwed?

Trust me, it's the disk.

The computer that I have the game on doesn't have the internet or even a lot of software on it. Other than task manager and explorer, I only had 3 background tasks anyway and no programs running. I closed them just in case and it didn't make a difference.

Also, I am doing a complete reinstall and every other game installed without a problem. Plus it always gets stuck on the same file, which was one of the two that wouldn't copy over to the hard drive.

My seasons cd1 will just not install completely and I know which files are the problem. Nothing will fix the cd completely, it's as good as it's going to get. I am going to try and install it off the hardrive, but I need to know if someone can send me a copy of voice1 and voice3 (eagames/the sims 2 seasons/tsdata/res/sound) or offer an alternative. I'm so sick of this that I will try anything. Thanks in advance.

Maybe I'm search retarded, but I cannot for the life of me find a solution to this problem. And I am quite frankly ready to throw my computer out of the window.

I cannot get OFB and Pets to co-exist. Both install just fine, but when I install one it uninstalls the other. I have the patches for both. Any suggestions, or can anyone redirect me to a solution?
