my game is working fine now... but the CC aren't showing. i'm just glad i can now take pictures. thanks everyone!

i don't have a lot of hacks, just the ones needed for pictures. i'm not a big hack addict haha.

thanks for the help. i'm installing UNI now, just NL left to go. reinstalling is so stressful!

thanks miss doh!

i'm thinking of creating a new folder with a date and putting all my downloaded stuff for that particular day in there.

anyway, i'm reinstalling my game right now. wish me luck am really scared about reinstalling.

just did that. same thing happens

It's not my downloads. I took out my downloads folder and I could get in the game pretty fast but when i go to a lot or create a family the mouse pointer that turns into a timer just turns and turns. there is no blue screen of death, the graphics are still there, the music still plays but it takes sooo long and i have to end the game using ctrl+alt+del.

i would appreciate any advice you can give me. i'm in the final round of two contests and i don't wanna drop. please help me. thanks!

yea... after i extracted them i deleted the .rar files

but if i didn't delete them, how do i find out which is which in my downloads folder

ETA

okay. weird... i removed my downloads folder and yet my game is still loading forever. any thoughts on this?

hi!

my game crashed and for the life of me i can't remember what i've downloaded between the time i last played and today. my problem is when i arrange the files in my downloads folder they are arranged according to the date the creator uploaded the files or whatever, it's not WHEN I INSTALLED the stuff.

so i don't know which to get rid of.

i was able to arrange them by the date i installed them before but i don't know when  this started or what exactly happened but i just can't seem to arrange them that way. any thoughts? i really need to get in my game i have a deadline tomorrow.

when i make my avies i save them as .gif then just put the new pictures and text on the same layers. that way the placement is uniform and not too many layers.

i love imageready too! now i can make my own avatars. i just made one with ami from miami ink and it rocks!

^^ what you said made sense but not what i was babbling about hehe.

let's say...

i have this layer called ORIGINAL i duplicate that and name the layer to COPY. i did blending mode stuff to it and opacity stuff too (to COPY). then what i want is to duplicate COPY and have a different blending mode done to it. is there a way to do that? like i want to duplicate the layer the WAY IT LOOKS but i want to make the next layer have a normal blending mode and 100% opacity.

guess what? as i am typing that i realized how to do it. i have to copy as in select the entire layer using the rectangular marquee, right click then choose layer via copy. this will actually duplicate how the layer looks but the blending mode will be reset to normal. *sigh* i confuse myself sometimes. sorry for this. i hope someone finds this useful though.

haha.

kimus thanks! and that picture is HAWT! very interesting. you didn't mess it around in photoshop? it's so cool. the lighting and everything

but what if what i want to duplicate is what the blending mode is doing to the layer AND THEN add another beldning mode on top of it? because i followed a tutorial and that's what it's implying is suppose to happen
