I downloaded this world yesterday. It is unpopulated.

So did I and I also agree that newsgroups are worth the cost. I had my game at around 5pm and it only took about an hour to download.

The pictures are really nice. Thank you for sharing. 

The screenshot link is not working.

I am playing Sims 3 on a Windows 7 machine and it works great. I actually noticed an improvement on performance within the game when I switched from XP which is odd because I fully expected it to go the other way.

Hmm. Puzzling.

The only other thing that I can think of to do is to keep your hair folder in and remove the others just to see if something else is affecting their function. If you find that they work then add your other folders back in until you find the culprit.

I managed to get my custom hairs to work now.

I moved all my mods to the WA folder and deleted all my cache files. That was all I did. I now have numerous hairs, eyebrows and default replacement beards and stubble. All working how they did before.

I can only assume it was because they were in the wrong place despite my other mods working in the vanilla folder. So if you haven't already, try that.

I don't have any hacks installed yet. Just Delphy's breast and Jonha's sliders, clothes, default eyes and skins and the hairs.

Has anyone been having any issues with custom hair?

I have only left Aikea's skins and eyes in and when I attempt to place my hair content back into my game it slows right down.

I FAIL. *crawls back into hole*.

They aren't talking about the EA digital download.
