freakin awesome, this is perfect for my cthulu mythos freak neighborhood that i based off clive barker after reading the books of blood and h.p. lovecraft stories.

This is just a shot in the dark, but has anyone else experienced a problem where your sims cant click on the robot building workbench but can still use the flower/toy bench? Im sure I must have probably downloaded something incompatable at some point in time but have no clue what, since ive downloaded heaploads of objects since i last actually used the robot building machine. I have all the expansions, but no stuff packs, and i have a lot of cc and mods. I am basically just wondering if it could be anything other than cc, and if anyone has experienced this issue and detected what it is that has the compatability issue. The robot bench works for noone, and ive tried it with several households that it used to work for as well as new one, in all 3 of my neighborhoods. Im at a loss as to what the problem is other than some kind of custom content, since it worked after i installed bv, but sometime in the last month or so something broke it.

dude, you need another dell.

ive only had one sim look like he got heat stroke or sunburn or whatever, and he was an alien and looked really stupid with pink splotches on green alien skin. i was kind of wondering why my sims never got sunburned either in the sun, but i guess if its heat stroke that is why, since i usually keep them from getting close to death unless im in the mood to kill them and i figured heat stroke wouldnt be good for them so i kept them hydrated. oh well.

ah cool, ive been playing the half life games and mods for so many years and this will fit in my weird neighborhoods well.

oh damn i wish i had seen this thread a while ago. this explains quite a bit and is not particularly pleasant. blah.

noooooo they dont adopt the default skin dont ever do that. hahaha i did that once a long time ago to get rid of a skin half my sims were using thinking that theyd adopt the default skin since i had dled a default skin i wanted them all to use instead of the one they had on, and ALL the sims that were using the deleted skin not only did NOT adopt default skins they also had NO skins...they became invisible if nude and their faces didnt match the default-ish skin that "appeared" with the clothes. Also the passed on teh code for the deleted skin to any offspring so their babbies ended up being nothing but faces; they had a face but their head was gone, and at the changing table theyd totally dissapear. That's one mistake i wont make twice. Although i greatly reduced my sim population and deleted my of the ruined sim families i still had a massive volume of sims i wanted to keep that i had to fix with surgery, which took forever and i was trying to avoid dealing with this time around. Trust me, they don't adopt default skins if you delete their skin, at least not in my game...

hmm, well i guess ill have to wait for simpe either way and will opt for option 1since i dont upload my sims anyway and i am aware that those sims that were effected wouldnt be uploadable since i know i cant upload content that is someone elses work that i slightly edited. most people wouldnt want to download most of my sims anyway since i usually make them comical rather than pretty and have to surgery their children to fix the dissociation that results. thanks for the input.

meh, so i got sick of certain skins that i mostly liked, but that were missing features on one sex since they were only made for the other, or other various things like skin eyebrows that i wanted erased, and i cloned them with bodyshop and edited them myself. what i want to know is if theres a way i can replace the originals that are being used by my various sims with the new versions i edited for my own use so taht those sims using teh old versions will then have my new versions and so i can then delete the old versions. i was worried about changing the names of the new files to overwrite the old, will that work right? also some of the skins i edited are showerproof mesh skins and im not sure if that will also complicate matters. im aware that once simpe eventually is bv compatible i can simsurgery all the sims to have my edited skins instead of teh old ones, and after spending hours doing taht i can delete the old ones, but would like to be able to avoid that long process of mass simsurgery if i can simply replace the old ones with the new edited versions i made without resulting in mass corruption since everytime i screw around with things first i usually learn my lessons the hard way heh.

thats cool

do you just need all the expansions or also stuff packs, i dont ever buy the stuff packs.

whoa...she looks like one of my ex's...wow...i hope you dont mind me downloading her with sadistic intentions???:chainsaw:

edit: for the record i think your sim looks better than my ex

ah, cool thanks

thanks, i tried to use the other one that was like a sandbar but some of my lots with a lower foundation found themselves underwater anywhere i put them on the sandbar ROFL, ill try one of these instead since i cant find my sim city 4 cds and theres no good maxis hoods for beaches.

hott, i like
