Hi Guys,

I placed a lot in my neighbourhood which sank the neighbouring road and caused it to "flood" :-)

Is there any way I can fix this? I have tried a program called lot adjuster, but cant seem to get anywhere near the road as now, I cannot even place an empty lot next to that flooded road.

Thanks in advance...

Thanks - You guys r just the most awesome eva :-)

Clean Installer did not show any previews, so I took a achance and deleted the whole bang lot of them. Thankfully tho all that did was empty my Bin. The houses all stayed put.

thanks a million - REALLY !!!!!

Lee

I DL a house which IS base game compatible. I ran the pack, and it installed to the default directory (which I presume is teleport <as this is the default dir listed when using clean installer>)

The house shows up in the House bin, yet when I click on it to place it, it crashes the game.  Problem now is, that I am unable to delete it from the Bin as the second I click on it to highlight it, the game crashes. I am therefore unable to delete it from the bin in the conventinal method (clicking on the Bin Icon on the bottom left of the lot bin).

Is there any way I can find out where this house is stored in the game folder and delete it manually???

I looked under D:\EA Games\The Sims 2\Neighborhoods\N004\Lots and there are lots numbered from 1 - 200 (although there are a few numbers misisng in bewteen)

Please help, this is not a major issue, but knowing that its there is gonna irritate the shit out of me :-)

Thanks in advance

Is it at all possible?

I found a really awesome neighborhood that I want to use. However, I want to transfer my existing house WITH family and furniture to this new neighbourhood. I have tried packaging the lot to a file, but when I install it, it doesnt show up in the new neighbourhood. Im sure it must be possible as there is a "TAB" under the lots section for occupied houses.

Please can someone shed some light as to how this can be doen, it at all...

thanks a million Guys

Just a quickie !!!!!

How can I adjust the autonomy of my sims to do thier own thing instead of just standing around folding thier arms...

I used the Override in the ACR to set it to max, but still nothing. Is there any cheat or anything else I can use or do?

Thanks

Lee

Eevil Cat, thank you.

Youve been a tremendous help.

Will go thru it all on the weekend and see if I cant fix it up. As for SimPE, EEEEEK its more frightening than meshes LOL....

Have made backups religiously of all my downloads etc, so it wont be to difficult to re-install. But will certainly try your suggestions first..

Thanks again

Lee

Ok so I know how important <albeit DAUNTING> the thought of meshes are...

But please be patient with the ole stupid one and answer a few MORE questions on them...

I DL a few hunky bodybuilders, from insimadult, and what I thought was the correct meshes. ANYWAYS... some of them wherent, so when ever the sim got naked, all that remained was a head and penis 

Now, can anyone point me in the direction of a mesh that will prevent this from happening? Ive read somewhere about a shower skin ?? 

Also, now that im getting the hang of this mesh thing, can I place meshes in a seperate folders in my downloads dir and then obviously in subfolders named after the person Ive downloaded? ie : DL\Meshes\Persons Name

I believe that DL sims CANNOT be placed in subfolders in the DL dir, but is the same true for the Saved Sims Folder?

Finally I thought I was clever in DL'ing ALL the meshes I could find on a site for body builders, and well, they conflicted and I had to delete them. NOW tho, some of my existing sims, have strange coloured skins and white hair with coloured numbers on it  Yet the "Skin and I presume Mesh" is still in my pre-made sims section when I go to create a new one...

Is there any way I can re-install default skins or do I have to re-install the entire game?

Guys sorry to be a pain in asking a question Im sure has been asked many times before.

Thanks a million times in advance

Lee

Ok Got the bodybuilders to work. Used Clean Installer :-)

Sooooo.... About that hair :-)

So I downloaded some really awesome patches for body hair (chest hair, legs and arms etc) from hairysims.com.

I downloaded them into my downloads folder, but cant seem to locate where they would be used. Have tried Body shop, but man, that for me is like reading a chinese bible :-) Was hoping it would be somelike crammyboys cock, but uh uh.

Anybody else got these and if so, can you tell me how to use it? Want to buff up my guys a little :-)

Also, how do we get bodybuilder type guys. Have also tried downloading from Insim and gayadultsims or something like that, but all of them contain expansion packs that I do not have.

Any ideas?

Thanks a mill

SIGH !!! I just cant win with this frikking house :-)

after hecubus's help, I finally managed to get the split level out, so I made my "construction" changes, moved my family in - FINALLY !!!!, spent 2 days decorating it, and VOILA ! !!!!1

NOTHING !

The game seems to be in a permanenet pause mode. Even if I switch to another character, the green diamond thingie doesnt move to show the selected character.

Does any know that cheat, that tells you which object is conflicting? Can only be one of the goodies I downloaded. Failing that, guess I will just have to give up and build the thing myself from scratch :-(

Lee

Well twist my nipple nuts and send me to Alaska <Kryton - Red Dwarf Series)

Hecubus, you are just the BIZ !!!!!

Thank you. Now I can finally frikking move in...

Off Ski-ing at Tiffendale this weekend, but man when I get back !!!

Thanks all

Lee

YEBO !!! Thats the One !!!!!

You where right Havelock, just one more click down on that list and you would have had the right one :-)

At Last, Man you guys have got incredible memories :-)

Hey guys, This is NOt the house... Although this one does look WICKED !!! Its not the same...

Will play around the sites Ive been to and see if I can track it down...

Hee Hee, Thanks Emma, when I saw that I just HAD to have it :-)  will try what you suggest as well.

SIGH !!!!! Whats the saying:"Patience is a virtue?"

Lee

Hi Hercubus,

Deleted the entire second floor, but still no luck. There DEFINATELY is that 4 clicks thing you mentioned :-)  Each time I try to place a flat roof, I get some of the roof on the top, then the balance of it seems to be halfway down the wall etc. And I did as you suggested, I deleted the ENTIRE 2nd floor, walls and all, then re-did a rough version to test, and below is what I got after adding the flat roof. A normal roof tho, seems to look ok?



Have no clue where I downloaded this from. I suspect it was from MTS, but its called A Bit Moderns Donation Gift 2, so perhaps its from PMBD.

Deleting the split level works, but then that half door / wall thing is gonna bug the shit out of me :-)

Any way i can create a package file from the neighbourhood and maybe email it to you to tinker with?  It really is an awesome house to play with, but with all the cheats enabled to modify the floor etc, touching up is very difficult...

Tried that floor tile thing, but no avail.

It definately has something to do with the multi / split level thing. As although I now only have two floors, I can still click up to 4 levels, yet the last 2 are half way up the 2 floor and the 4 level is pretty much exactly on top of the 3rd level.

Very weird...

Will try the constrain floor thingie and see...

Thanks

Lee

Top Views....

Sunken Lounge:



Main Entrance Level:



2nd Floor



And Finally the dreaded 2nd Level Split...

Which I cant seem to get to show... But you get the point ??

Now I have deleted the 2nd level split floor and walls, and redid them as a normal 2nd level floor. Yet there still appears to be two "invisible" floors above that, obviously the split level and the roof. These are the two that are causing the problem...

Any suggestions please?

Thanks a ton for your help guys.

Lee

Thanks Guys... Lets give this a bash :-)

Here is a front view of the house i REALLY REALLY REALLY want to live in :-)



Starting from bottom up, here is the Sunken Lounge.



This is now the Main entrance level.



2nd Floor Level



And Finally the 2nd Floor Split level which I want removed...

Ok Stupid Question.....

How do I upload pics?

I click the insert pic icon on top but all I get is :  "img / img" text

What am I missing :-)

I downloaded an awesome 3 story / split level house.

First floor has a split level (Sunken Living room), then the entrance level has the entrance / lounge kitchen etc.

Second floor has bedrooms etc, and a split level bathroom. Then the third floor has more rooms.

I did not want the spilt level bathroom on the second floor, so proceeded to knock down walls and windows etc, starting from the third floor working down.

I now have my level second story. However, the game still thinks there is a split level to it. I want to put a flat roof on now, but every time I do that, it adds floor tiles to the "deleted" levels.

Is there any way i can remove all those levels that I deleted so that I can have a normal looking roof and not one that has a roof tile in the middle of the room hanging in thin air :-)

thanks a mill

SORRY to bring up an OLD thread, but rather than atart a new one, this thread seemed appropriate :-)

I have read a few threads about vampires on this site, but still am unable to become one.

when I do go out I have found a vampire and tried to caht him or her up in the hopes of getting bitten, but either the sun comes up and she dissappears or I just dont have enough time.

Any ideas on what I need to do in order to be "attractive" to a vampire ?

already have a whole house designed  but no vampire to live in it :-)

Thanks Guys

ahhhh. Now we're talking my language :-)

thanks guys, will check out the error log now and see if I can pick something up.

Lee

Ah now that is cool :-) thanks a million Khaki.

Will try that 45 degree angle one to. Man its amazing how many cheats there are. I though the 3 pages I downloaded was alot... Clearly not :-)

THATS THE ONE !!!

Thanks Guys !

Uh ok...

Is that with French fries or potatoe wedges  

Sorry mate, my Sim language is not to fluent yet, elaborate PLEASE 

I downloaded a furnished lot.

One of the effects enabled was the ability to have a potted plant AND a floor lamp on the same square, creating quite a dramatic "feel".

anyone know how to turn this cheat on?

Thanks a mill
