YAY! Both Columns are working now, they show up in the catalog and I can use them to buy and place them on lots.
Thank you again seelindarun for making and sharing the BV compatable Store items, it's really appreciated!

No, the columns were included in the "Spooky Things BV" zip.
I installed the columns in the same place I installed all my other TS2 store items, but they are they only TS2 Store items from your BV-compatible set that do not show up in the catalog.



Thank you.

Thank you seelindarun for making available these 'backward EP compatable' sets that work on a mac.
I have a mac with all mac available EP's up to and including BV, and the FFS and GL Stuff Packs. Almost everything you have modified is working for me.
I say almost because I am unable to get either of the spooky columns to show up. FWIW all the castle columns seem to be showing up OK, it's just the spooky columns that don't show up.
Is anyone else on a mac or with a BV game having this problem? Is there something special I need to do to make the columns show up that I may have missed?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Thank you so much for sharing these Christmas objects, Skadi!
The Poinsettias look so pretty, and the Mistletoe is great!
Even though it's not Christmastime for me IRL, I'll have them for decorating for my sim's Christmas holidays. Also, I'm going to decorate a BV Mountain Hotel with a Christmas theme - the wreathes and flowers and mistletoe and everything -- so whenever it's wintertime for my sims, they can go off to have a winter vacation there. There will always be a place to go that's Christmassy, even if I don't decorate their homes.
Again, thanks so much for sharing this -  it's really appreciated!

Thank you for the information, seelindarun. It sounds like while TS2 PC-2-Mac object conversion is possible, that it's such an overly complicated process I don't have the time to attempt to learn right now, even if I did have a PC to attempt it with.
Yes, I know you can't buy objects at the TS2 Store if you have a mac. That stinks. I don't know any PC simmers well enough to ask them to shop for me.

In the end, I found a torrent with some shared EAxis downloads, including some items for Christmas like a tree, a wreath and a lawn reindeer. That did a good enough job of helping my sims decorate for a Merry Christmas.

Thanks again for the helpful info.

Thanks to everyone who bought and shared the store stuff and made it available here, and thanks to all who fixed all the mistakes and errors that EA made.


Thank you Simsample for sharing this link.

As others noted above, the download was not a pack of loose holiday objects and stuff from the TS2 Store.
It was for an exe installer file for the actual "Holiday Stuff" pack for PCs, not the Holiday objects from the store.



I have an Intel Mac running Leopard 10.5.4.
AFAIK, .exe format is an installer for PCs.
Is there any way an Intel Mac user can get the Holiday Items from the above file in OSX; WITHOUT partitioning the hard drive, installing Windows, installing a windows version of TS2, and running the installer through Boot Camp / Parallels? (which is not an option for me on our shared family computer) Because even if I could do all that and install the PC Holiday Stuff Pack, I'm not sure I could "transfer over" whatever does get installed to the Mac version of TS2.

Or better yet, back to the original question that was asked earlier by CountessGutter -- Are the holiday objects from the TS2 store available anywhere?

Thank you in advance.

Apologies for the necromancy, but I'm updating with a new share link for the templates.

First let me say thanks to all who did the great work cleaning and empting these neighborhoods to make our games more fun to play. Many BAAAAAAs to you!

I would like to offer another download location for the neighborhood files - I am hosting all the files that I have collected throughout this thread on my MediaFire acct.
I didn't clean or empty any of these neighborhoods -- the files are all collected from the past 26 pages of posts in this thread. I am simply resharing them in one place, hopefully to make it easier for people to find what they need.

There are three different folders of neighborhoods:

Neighborhoods Cleaned
http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=08eec5979199d6f6ab1eab3e9fa335ca1ed246f4d52059da

Neighborhoods Empty
http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=08eec5979199d6f6ab1eab3e9fa335cad788992b4e85b98b

Neighborhoods Emptier by Argon
http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=08eec5979199d6f6ab1eab3e9fa335caf6ce6b26a1bf897e

If there is no neighborhood file available in the folder that you are looking at, it means none is available or that I don't have a copy of it. Feel free to point out good links to any files I don't have copies of, and I will share them as well.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

cheshire_cat,

Thank you so much for this list that you compiled and shared with us!

I just started playing Life Stories about 2 weeks ago, and I liked it enough that it motivated me to arr-quire TS2+EP's up to BV.
When I first started looking around for game mods for TS2, I was totally boggled by the number of files in the DC for Bon Voyage -- but your list has been very helpful to me in sorting out what I need.
THANKS!
