Hmm, not recently... I've had a new default vampire skin pretty much since Nightlife came out. Same with the aliens, but nothing 'new'.
I can still yank those out and check to see if it makes a difference I suppose. Maybe one of them is conflicting somehow?
It's really no biggie, considering both facts that the Sims 2 is slowly winding down and I hardly get the genie anyway.

EDIT: Okay, finally after digging through all of my junk in the EA folder(s), I found what was causing the trouble. I had a little hack stashed away that I forgot about that allowed me to change and save NPC uniforms (the maid, paperboys, etc.)... That hack has easily been in there since before I installed Seasons and it's just now conflicted with something. Blah.

So, anyhow, the problem has been fixed. This thread can be locked, ignored, or whatever. heheh
