Ooohh pretty, baa 

I can finally take out those OMSPs from my game, *hits thanks button*

Playable houses minus the bullshit=awesome.  *hits the thanks button*

*hits the baaa button* 

TJ you are a god 

That was extremely helpful Pes 

edit--Think I might have solved the problem..no kaboom yet. 

What a wonderful thing to have a new expansion pack!  I already have one family so fubar I can't play with them at all.
I have Angela Pleasant and Dustin Broke married and living together.  Angela was pregnant but hadn't "popped" for the first time when I installed the Pets pack.  I moved in the Crittur family to see how pets worked. 
I found some errors and fixed them by removing non-updated hacks and hacked itmes which may have affected the interactions with pets.  But when Angela "popped" for the first time things got interesting.  I wish I had a screen shot to show you, but I can no longer access the family at all.  Angela's head is fine, but everything below the waist is black silouette, the only thing you can see clearly below the neck is her wedding ring.  I left the lot and this morning when I tried to enter the lot it crashed immediately.  Moving them out and moving them back in changes nothing.   Moving them to a different lot changes nothing.  I can warp them into other lots but they repeatedly jump away from the Sims on the lot and do not appear in the relationship panel of those Sims.  It's as if they're not even there.  I thought the problem might be related to the pets, but I can't separate them to figure it out.
An error report is attached.

I was hoping someone would do that with a certain Sunair hair 

Or the awesomely, awesome Clothing Tool found here-- http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/ffs/ofb/hacks/ 

I still have toddlers who roll the "Buy a Flowerbed" want, this has happened twice in the Curious household.  Those aliens sure are eco-friendly flower lovin' fools  .

  I guess Pes has first hand experience..

I like it, but then I'm a sucker for decorative stuff.   

You don't know me either, but welcome back from the dead 

Lin at ShinySims did a remake of the Louis skin that is fabulous.  I personally use RenSims defaults at the moment.  I also think her eyes are to die for..well not literally.

*walks away muttering something about sickos* 

Just the FFS patch..don't try installing the OFB patch or you'll get errors  

The only default replacement eyes I've seen are enayla's at MTS2 (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=126880&highlight=default+enayla) kinda purple and wicked looking

*rofl* I like that and I couldn't agree more

Lovin these much better than the originals!

Jordi, I usually don't back anything up, which has come back to bite me in the ass several times..err..don't rub it in mmkay?

Simsbaby..I constantly delete groups.cache, there is no folder in my game directory and I'll try your other suggestion.

Thank you all for the help. 

I noticed the stray files, collections, houses and such, which is why I was wondering why my game was acting screwy.  Deleting the userProps file doesn't seem to have made a difference and I hate to uninstall with the damn patches and dial up.

*throws cheese at Blue's feet*

I haven't had a camera mod since Nightlife and my settings are where I left them, I can't stand to have them anywhere else but cranked all the way up lol.  *shrugs* Was never a problem before.

I'll try your suggestion CS, maybe it's that simple.

I was given Family Fun Stuff for my birthday this year (gee thanks) and promptly took it off a day or so after installing.  I know that I never should have installed the damn thing but my issue is this--my game loads fine but if I leave the neighborhood chooser screen up too long (from 20 secs to a minute) my camera starts to act like it has parkinsons.  It starts from the neighborhood choser and gets worse; the actual neighborhood cars jerk like an old woman is driving them and we won't even go into how the houses act.  It seems if I'm quick and go right in this doesn't always happen.  My graphics have also gone from ok to terrible.  This damn FUN pack seems to have told my game that I have a shitty graphics card, (which I do Nvidia Geforce FX 5200) but everything ran semi-normal before.  The fun pack is removed, so why am I not running the way I was before?  Did something get reset? Is there anyway to fix this other than buying a new video card which I refuse to do..thank you very much.  Does the damn pack not actually uninstall unless I unstall the whole deal?
