making hidden objects appear?

[arogers]

theres this thing on life stories called bitville mission loader on the boolprop menu. It looks as though I could get bitville over to sims 2 if i could remove that stupid thing. Thing is, I need it to appear. Ive already managed to get the freeplay neighborhood to sims 2  (probably because there is no mission loader) with all walls and objects from LS still there so it should be possible.

What's so special about it?

well it's probably stopping the bitville lots from loading on sims 2.
It gets to the fouth squares on the load screen then the game just shut off.

Making the LS neighborhoods playable in TS2 is really simple. Your crash is related to one of these issues:

You do not have the right EP's. You need NL and possibly OFB.

You didn't delete the Version Number entry.

You didn't rip out a valid Number ID entry from a valid TS2 neighborhood, and replace the one in the LS neighborhood.

You did not complete the story. The story must be completed before the 'hood is moved to TS2.

Still doesn't work after doing those things.
I have all eps and the story is complete. 
it now goes to 5 square of loading and actually tells me that the game has crashed.

I'll take a look at it when I get home. Maybe I'm forgetting something else that needs to be deleted or replaced, since it's been at least a year since I did it.

Meanwhile, I found my old tutorial, so look at that. It starts here: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,7267.msg203973.html#msg203973 but read the whole thing.

Looks like I forgot to tell you about loading and saving each house....

thanks Ive been looking for that! You're such a great help!

Okay, so I took a look at it, following the tutorial I linked above, and it didn't crash for me, so it seems to be the correct one to follow. If you're still having problems, try deleting NeighborhoodManager and all the cache files (groups.cache, etc.).
