Argh! I have to download it just to find out what the surprise is! I can't stand to not be "in the know!" LMAO
Yeah, me too. I normally would never download a modded object without any details, but... considering who this is coming from - Serafina & Squinge - I know it's safe and should be worth the download. I shall return when I've seen this... "surprise." It better not be scary!
EDIT: Well, I finally got around to installing my downloads, but then discovered I had a bunch of problem files to deal with, which took the better part of 4 days to sort out. Unfortunately, my only "surprise" was that this painting proved to be one of those problem files.
You don't list any EP requirements, but I have UNI, NL and OFB. My game will start loading and then freeze up while this .package is in the Downloads folder (yes I tested it individually, several times). I tried inspecting your file with the Sims2Pack Clean Installer utility, but guess what - that program froze up too as soon as I selected "bear painting.package". I deleted the file and extracted it again from the archive; same problem. So I decided to try a fresh copy. I deleted the archive, deleted my temporary internet files, downloaded the archive a second time, extracted the fresh file, and installed it; same problem - freezes up both the game and the clean installer utility. *sigh*
I assumed initially that it was an EP problem if it was just my Sims game that froze up, but the Clean Installer freezes up with it loaded too? Something is obviously wrong, but I don't have the expertise to figure it out. Any suggestions?
