Thanks for the suggestions, everyone.  I ended up reinstalling everything from the beginning, and now I don't seem to be having any known problems!  I appreciate the advice.

My game used to show the Sims when they Slow Dance but now they just stand there and look at each other.  Secondly, the Rock, Paper, Scissors game shows up as a selection but, again, the sims just stand there.

Finally, I have many objects (original Maxis, not downloaded items) that do not show up in the game.  They usually say, No Pic.  Sometimes there is a picture of the object but it doesn't show up when you try to place it.  Could there be something wrong with how I installed an expansion pack?

I hope someone can direct me to a source to relieve my frustration.  Thanks in advance!

My problem is that I can't get the Sims to play "Rock, Paper, Scissors" in the first place....  They just stand there when I make that selection.  (It has nothing to do with your hack.)

The only custom content I have downloaded is meshes for actual sims.  I thought I read in more than one place that the EP's didn't really matter when it came to the sims themselves.  Additionally, I remember seeing that they only required the basic sims 2 game.

Hello.

I have read through MANY posts and instructions, but I can't get any of the meshes to show up in the Sims Bin.  I've got the meshes in the appropriate Downloads folder.  I have no idea what could be wrong at this point.  I registered about 2 weeks ago and have been reading so much but haven't been able to view one download yet.  Is there any expert here who might be able to recognize the problem or with whom I could chat?  I'd really like to see some of the great creations in action in the game (and eventually try my own hand at some designs).  But for now, I just want to get the downloads working.

Incidentally, I have the main game and the University expansion.

Thank you very much!
