The Sims Life Stories and the custom content: to be or not to be? )
AlbaManrique:
Don't the two anti virus programs conflict with each other? I had a case with my old PC when Norton and Kaspersky were installed at the same time, that made the machine almost unable to use because of a huuuuuge lags.
Oh okay. Won't cause offtopic.
Avira didn't give me any trouble either until the thing described in the main post happened. (
Theraven:
I know two are supposed to cause troubles, but except for a little lag (which I'm pretty sure was there before I installed Avast) there is nothing to talk of.
Engram:
I think that Life Stories runs on either the NL or OFB game engine but it is safer to treat it as base game. Ditto for Pet Stories. PS does not really contain much by way of items from the actual TS2 Pets so you're best off just going after stuff that is base game compatible.
A note on hair - unbelievably there are still creators out there who have not patched their Pets and consequently the hair they make does not show up unless you're running Pets or higher (for TS2). Most notably Newsea, who has not patched Pets even though this problem was brought to his/her attention several years ago. So don't expect hair downloaded from Newsea to show up in the Stories games unless it's a retexture made by someone with a patched Pets. Peggy's hair seems to show up fine in just base game as does Rose's and Raon's hair so those and any retextures done with a patched Pets game should work.
And, as already mentioned, you may need to enable custom content in the game. I haven't played the Stories games in years but I remember having to do that for CC to show up. I only ever played through story mode and not in freeplay but Bodyshop-type CC did show up just fine.
AlbaManrique:
Still having problems with the accessories - they do not show up whatever I do (
Clothes and hair work fine though - I've just jumped forward to Pet Stories and tarted up the main heroine Alice White, haha... )
Thanks everyone for your councelling.
