I have a large hard drive so I backup about once every two weeks depending on how much I have added to the Downloads.  I also save everything that I download fron the web.  I save it by category, site I got it from and date.  I also save a picture of the Item.  If I get a file that cause problems, I delete that file, delete my "downloads" file and replace it with my latest backup.  This also helped me migrate my game to a new computer.

Do you backup your "Downloads" file?  I periodicaly Backup my Downloads.  When I get a lot that causes me problems, I delete the lot, delete my "Downloads" file and replace it with my last backup.  This presupposes that your hardd drive is big enough to do this.

I don't know since I have PETS installed.  I discovered that the cheat worked for my vacation guests accidently.  I was using the cheat to control pets on my home lot and discovered I could control my guest when my sim took him on her vacation.  You will have to try the cheat on your system - it can't hurt anything.

My first post.  Just wondering, has anyone else noticed that if you use the "Pets" cheats:
boolprop ControlPets on;
and
boolprop PetActionCancel true;

used to make your pets controlable, makes your Bon Voyage non-household party members  controlable.  This sure helps to keep our guests from wandering off to do odd tasks.

Just when I decide not to download any more sims.  She is almost as pretty as you.

Thanks
