I had this same issue after I decided to install Ambitions on my desktop. I still had the Razor version on that computer, so decided to uninstall and reinstall with the retail version first. I would only get as far as the base game, then couldn't use the launcher to patch. I would get that same message (that the launcher couldn't initialize). I uninstalled twice more before deciding to just patch manually. Then the patch wouldn't install, I got the "invalid file" message. I figured out what was happening was that upon uninstall some files were left behind. The new shortcuts were pointing to the old files.  I deleted all those manually (after uninstalling) and everything worked when I reinstalled.

Heh, reminds me of Candace, the dishwasher in early TS2 days. 

Ah, I'm happy to see that someone has figured out road modification. I shall have to attempt dirt roads. Thanks for the link.

I really like these. It looks like you have done something with the roads in the neighborhood. Is that possible? I also do not see cars, is that a cheat or clever photo taking?

Thanks for the laugh!

Ass and Bust control sliders FTW!

I hope someone can do that since obviously EAxis LIED when they said we could make any body type.

Hmmm... maybe this varies by traits or something else. When playing with the Bachelor family they all did the firedance, even Mortimer who was visiting at the time. It was just as hard to distract them as in TS2. Only one of the adults got the "Extinguish fire" option, which kept dropping from the queue. When playing with my CAS-made sim, she calmly tried to put it out. but was trumped by a fireman.

This is one of the things that bothers me the most. I want memories and I want the photo album back. Those are how I keep my story straight even if I don't write a single word I still have record to refer to.

This is pretty much what I do, too. I wait until my "can't play without" hacks/mods are updated and/or tested before I install. However, I've always bought them on the day they came out, mostly due to my teenage daughter who can't be patient and wait to install her copy. She just plays vanilla for a while, ugh. Guess she'll have to wait this time tho' since she got a Macbook Pro for her birthday!

I, too, must be unawesome. The same thing has been happening for me. Multiple times. Have reset and retried using empty templates and renaming.

 BUT wait, right in the middle of posting this this reply I went back and did yet another re-read and lo and behold --- I am truly unawesome. I must confess I read the directions wrong.

This may have happened to you, too, Zerthimon. Did you perhaps change the name of N001 in .../My Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2/Neighborhoods instead of C:\Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 2\TSData\Res\UserData\Neighborhoods?

Although it pains me to admit it, that is what I was doing wrong. As soon as I fixed that little problem it worked beautifully!      So Thank You Jordi!

No, Louis is the SimCribbling gal.
