Thanks foobarre, you just saved me a bunch of work.

I've been using everything except AllBuyable, ClubClosingTimes_12hr, DiapiersToNappies and PregnancyTweaks in my up-to-date game for about 90 game days, and haven't had any issues (except some weirdness with a butler recently which prompted me to disable Butler_Tweaks, but I'd never used a butler before that and haven't played much since, so I don't know whether it's the mod, the game, or my lack of understanding of how the mod or the game are supposed to work).

But they're so attractive...

You just made my day, thank you.

I'm a huge fan of the snow.  That screenshot above is about what it looks like out my RL window right now, so it's nice my sims get to enjoy a similar view.

Ran into a pretty frustrating issue though.  My sims live in a multi-level basement house built beneath a converted park, featuring a pond.  In certain of their hallways, some of the time, the sims will stop walking and do an "Oh boy, I'm about to slip and fall" animation, then suddenly teleport outside with a yellow teleportation effect and matching sound, their entire queue cancelled and replaced with a "Go here" icon with "Move Away" as the mouseover text.  Last night I noticed that the spots where this was occuring were directly beneath the pond, which was frozen when it was occurring.

So, apparently frozen ponds leak icewater into basements.  Leaves sticking around until spring I can handle, that's realistic (there's a ton of leaves underneath the snow outside my RL house right now which I'm totally not looking forward to dealing with when it melts), but dammit, winter time is the ONE seasons where basements shouldn't be leaky!

Edit: confirmed by removing pond, which eliminated the slipperiness and teleporting.

Fraps is your friend.

Minonda, a "cyclic redundancy check" error means your computer was unable to verifiably read information off of an optical disk.  This will have nothing to do with your hard disk drive, but could be your optical disc drive.  The first thing to check is always whether the CD/DVD is scratched, scuffed, or dirty.  If it's not, it's likely the drive, which is neither surprising, since modern optical drives seem for me to have a shelf life of about a year if they're in use, nor a big deal, since a new one doesn't cost much more than a case of beer.
