No, they go in My Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2/Collections.

1) Lobonanny is intended to work with the Baby Controller.  Lobonanny just makes the nannies incapable of doing really stupid things like cooking with no skill.  Instead they sit on the couch doing nothing until the Baby Controller tells them to do specific things to take care of the baby.  If you have existing nannies when you install Lobonanny, you need to follow the included directions to hand lobotomize the existing nannies (or kill them).

2) Greg Bennett's instructions for "psychic surgery" that makes the nannies halfway decent instead of the crap Maxis thinks makes a good nanny: http://hullabaloo.sunsims.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=24185#24185

2.5 gig and holding...

Angelita is my Sim/Complete Mafia character who is protecting me from Lytough while I stalk Rogue.  I pay her in pretty clothes!

TYVM!  I'm in awe of your patience!

Thanks much!  I'm looking forward to my pregger Sims wearing something besides the Maxis white set and looking preg!

I use 34Cnat and 36Denh tops with 36 bottoms.

I'm glad you did!  

Thanks MacDavid!

Thanks  much!  Now to pay Angelita for her hard work...

This is how I do my screen shots:

Have PhotoShop or MS Paint running.  
Start the game or BodyShop.  (I use the game, because CAS gives more natural appearing poses.)
Dress your Sim in the desired outfit.
Press the "Print Screen" key.
Switch to the paint program.
Edit->Paste or Control V.
Crop your picture or blank out unwanted parts.  
Add descriptive text or your name.
Save your picture.  
Repeat as desired.

Another helpful hint: Once you've exported the file from BodyShop and quit, you can find the package file in SavedSims and just zip that file for upload.  You don't have to create a Sim in BodyShop and package the Sim.  Saves a little bandwidth!

Very pretty!  

FYI: If your drive didn't grind the actual magnetic media into dust, a drive recovery company might be able to recover your files for you. (Assuming you still have the drive...)

This is inspirational!

Yes.  The easiest way is with Theo's Color Binning plugin for SimPE.

Or you can do it by hand with SimPE with Madame Mim's tutorial: http://genensims.com/guest/MadameMim/index.htm

The basic cause of both the dotted lines and the "Brandi is the parent of Samantha's baby" problem (a variant of "Danny is not the father of Sarah's puppies") is that Maxis hand built those Sims instead of making them in CAS and actually playing out their intended scenario, so they didn't resolve everything exactly like the game would have.  There's a parentagefix hack on MATY which improves some of the whacked Maxis relationships so that preconceived puppies and kittens and babies get married with the correct parents.

The reason Brandi and Skip are shown as "not married" is because Maxis performs a sort of divorce when a Sim dies, to allow the surviving spouse to get married again.  There's a hack on MATY called the postmortemmarriagehack which keeps the Sims married (in case they don't choose to remarry), but does still give them the option to remarry.

Make sure you get the right version for your latest EP and read the readme (called RTFM) before installing it.
