*thumbs up*

Yes what?

Should there be 1 or 2 resource.cfg files? I have one in the The Sims 3 folder and one in The Sims 3/Mods/Files folder?

Mootilda,

I've tried every which way possible to get this to work... with no success, so I am just going to remove all my downloads (again) and start from scratch. Thanks for your help.

Mootilda, please bear with me on this.

I only have the one drive, so when I open command prompt, and it looks like this: C:\Documents and Settings\The Sims>
I should then insert a space (or no space?), then type: cd /c "C:\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads" (with or without quotes? I've tried it both ways) or
should I type it without the cd /c since it's already pointing to the c drive?

Hi Mootilda<

I tried to use your method by copy/paste of what you typed and it keeps coming up as the system cannot find the path specified. My files are located in the c drive, my documents, ea games, etc.

Is the cd/d part referring to my cdrom drive? Should there be any spaces in there?

Error Log Attached

Edited to add: I've re-installed the game (once again) thanks for the help.

I don't have debug mode on, but I have noticed that whenever I use mon or soff there are some errors listed. Was the reset something I inadvertently set in motion and if so, how do I turn it off?

Edited to add: I've searched the forum and found that several different types of actions or hacks could cause a reset, including a game bug. So, I'm not sure which is causing my problem. I have the Seasons patch installed.

My sims plumbob also flashes off and on, is this because of the reset issue also?

I wish I could take credit for it, but I can't. A friend of mine re-furbished (from a downloaded lot) and re-decorated it. It's a 4 story apartment complex with a hair/nail salon/boutique on the 1st level, empty apartment on 2nd level, living/dining/kitchen on 3rd level, bedroom/study/pool on 4th level (penthouse). When I saw it I just had to have it, I guess I'll have to live with the missing tile.

On another note, I don't know if it's the house or related to OFB or some hack I have. Whenever I have my sim "be cashier" or "ring up customers", she will ring up one customer and then "jump" back from the register then proceed to do something else. By the time I get her back to the register, her customers are so furious that they thrown down their shopping bags and leave the store.

I thought it was weird too, along with the fact that you can see straight through to the lower level (more amazing actually). The gardener also gets in and out of the pool to try and tend the the plants/bushes, she eventually gives up  I'll be replacing them with some plastic ones.

I was able to get rid of the tiles on the front of the lot using the boolProp constrainFloorElevation false cheat, thank you AmberDiceless 



But I had no luck trying to place the missing tiles in the pool area using the stuck object remover.

This is the upper level



And this is the level below

Nothing "inside" the pool, what you are seeing is the level below. It's a bookcase and fish tank.

The level underneath is the same and also missing a tile in the same spot. I will post a screen...

Can anyone tell me how to get rid of these tiles?




And how to put a floor tile here? I've tried deleting all the tiles and re-tiling but still no go.

Thanks Khaki for that link, I should have checked here first before I spent the last couple of days uninstalling and reinstalling  . It still says that I have missing ep data, but at least know what to do from now on.

Edited: Because I quoted the wrong post 

There were files were in the teleport folder, 32 of them to be exact I only tried to install two lots. I deleted them and installed once again and they're still not showing up.

I've been trying to install a particular lot for three days now and it is not showing up in-game using clean installer. Using the default installer I got this message:



I have all ep's/sp's, so how would I go about figuring out which one is missing data? Would I need to do a complete re-install?

Thanks.

I believe my first post may have been a bit misleading, as my original intention was to sell any salvageable parts on eBay, not use them in a new computer. However, with the information I have received from here I will check on purchasing a motherboard on eBay instead.

That's great news, as I was told by several people (including the geeks at Fry's electronics) that no one sells motherboards for laptops. I had the idea that I would refurbish it myself.

The specs on my laptop are:

Intel Pentium M Processor 725, 1.60GHz, 2MB L2 Cache
60 GB Hard Drive (Upgraded to 100GB)
512 MB Memory (Upgraded to 1 GB)
Video 32MB
DVD/CD Rom
ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 Graphics (was able to play Sims 2 through Seasons)

I think these are all the things that matter.

I know it's practically a dinosaur, but it accomplished what I needed it to. Even though the Sims 2 plays a lot better on my desktop (especially since I just purchased a new graphics card), I enjoyed being able to take my Sims with me anywhere.

It's a S150, I believe it's about 2-3 years old. I've had it for 2 years. I believe I would rather get a new motherboard, as I don't really have the cash to purchase another new  one. I can take it apart and put it back together easily. About a month prior, I just put in new memory and a new hard drive. I had just received a new fan and I broke it while attempting to replace it (soldered in) by forcing it apart.

I sent my notebook to Sony for repair and they said that I needed a new motherboard, which costs $1400. I may as well get a new one for this amount.

My question is this: what parts are salvageable in the notebook other than the memory modules and the dvd/cd drive?

I hate building, decorating or creating sims. I play with game generated families.



I only play with fully furnished houses that are in game or ones that I have downloaded, walls down, focusing on interactions.



I play with one family until the existing youngest member has become an elder and then I'm off to the next family.



In-game hoods only.



Both, I do what it takes to keep their aspiration levels good. I also help them to the top of their careers.



All of my sims are homebodies (just like me). Too many sims in one place makes me crazy.



Wherever they already reside



Never.



Only if it is one of their wants, but most of the time no.



No, though I did play with the plantsim family just so that I could make them normal (wanted to see what they looked like).



I was previously playing with all of the "no autonomous" hacks I could find, but then my sims wouldn't do anything on their own (like take care of their needs) and I hate micro-managing them (I like to leave my game running while I'm sleeping and not wake up and find them dead). Now, I only use The Director's cut, Monique's computer,  no bringing anyone home from school/work hacks, auto do homework and gardening.



A Little, though I have over 20,000 (ridiculous load time) custom objects, I tend to put only the "hacked" objects in my game.



I don't create anything.


As you can see, the way I play is quite bland. So occasionally, I will do challenges, which I almost never submit.

Yep, you are absolutely correct! I guess I should get Alexander graduated soon.

Yes! That was the problem. I am using the plant as a motive adjuster.

Edit:
In response to your edit - I download just about everything, but I don't use a lot of hacks in game and I haven't modified anything. So when you mentioned the InSimenator, it just seemed to be right on the money. I took the file out of my downloads folder, restarted and everything was back to normal. But I still wonder what made my sim this way in the first place... odd.

Since your sim seems aware of his condition, I'm now wondering if it's why my sim seemed to be frustrated. I couldn't tell what was in her thought bubble.

I grabbed hold of the plant and then hit the delete key. The sim and the plant both vanished.
