I'm not computer savvy enough for this....

I prepped all the sims I wanted gone for deletion with Lot Debugger then quit the game and downloaded SimPE.  This is where I get confused.

I'm doing this with the newest edition of SimPE because I downloaded the 5.0 and it wouldn't work.  It would "stop working" and I'd get the options to close it, or search online for a solution and close it.

So, I started searching SimPE.
In the neighborhood brower I found where it has each family with who is in it, amount of money, number of family friends, etc. and on all the ones not containing a sim of mine I selected the delete key from the top menu (yellow card-looking thing) including a few sims and pets I hadn't 'prepped for deletion'.

Will this work?  And if not can someone dumb this down for me please?

I do have Seasons, but I also have a back-up.  I think all a blow-up will result in is a few hours of me sulking unless it destroys me game completely.
Besides, reading the one problem post in here doesn't bother me much.  I don't care about buyable outerwear.

ETA:  And, it works!

Yuck.
Thank you.  I'll try it myself then.

How about Bon Voyage?  Will this work with BV or will my computer implode on itself?

Thanks peoples.
I'll try clicking no the sim and everything else I can think of.

I did notice that when someone called they would stay on the phone until the relationship was 100% daily though, so I guess it's working in some way.
Let's see here, I'm running Seasons with the one I downloaded from the Seasons list of hacks, the phone is not in use when I click on it, none of my sims own cellphones and I don't have Pets - completely bypassed it from OFB to Seasons.

I've downloaded this from the Seasons hack list and it still isn't working.
I get all the normal call actions, but no Call friends or family.  I've cheched the relationship pnel and there are people they could call, but it doesn't show up in the menu.

Thanks for that.
OK, here's the newest information.
The first two times the wants disappeared were in the college town (a custom one) and I had one sim lose all but one want and one fear.  The other sim lost everything except the locked want, which went away when I unlocked it and re-rolled his wants.

In the regular town (also custom) there was one family where no wants or fears were lost, and another in which I only lost two wants.

If it helps to know I'm on a Mac, then there it is.

EDIT: I haven't done anything different to my download folder, but my teens just went to school.  We think we figured it out on the other computer but we're not sure.

My girl in town who lost her wants got them back too.  All that's left is to try the college again.

And yes, the wants are completely gone, not invisible.

I just recently downloaded the NoTelepathy and School Bus - Bring Friend Dialogue hacks for two computers and both are experiencing the same problem - None of the school-aged children will go to school.  Neither the teens nor the kids.

Then, on just one I also downloaded No Meeting Professors and Self Exploding Bottles.  Now, on that computer Wants are disappearing.  The sim who is first selected when a house loads up loses all wants and fears not locked.  Then nothing can bring them back and if the locked want is unlocked then re-rolled it disapears as well.

Any ideas?

I thought I had read on that first post that it should be compatible with the base game so that's why I tested it out.  That's all I have since no stores but the online ones carry Mac EPs.
And it's worked...Thanks a bunch!  Just had to copy and paste it off the disk.

I was told by the InSIM people to come here for this question, so here goes.
I just downloaded (before I registered) this hack.  It must've done something to my game in particular, because suddenly children, teens, and adults, I haven't looked at toddlers yet, only have the want to tell a dirty joke to people they barely even know.  My sims will soon be in the red save for a few of them have regular wants that I've locked and those'll change as soon as they've been fulfilled.
I know it says to back-up the files and everything and I was sure I had.  Turns out I've only backed-up a few things and wants wasn't one of them.
Anyone think they have an answer?  I'm on a Macintosh with two accounts and the other account even has this problem, though it's only downloaded on the one account.
If you can, I'd prefer an e-mail or PM if possible.  Thanks for any and all help!!
