Hello everyone! 
Right so I'm at the end of my tither with this one....
I got IKEA for Christmas, and I was looking forward to seeing some furniture in game that I have in my room haha
I installed it and carried on using the Free Time cd like it asks. I go into University, and I had no custom content, so I looked and it needed enabling, enabled, saved, quit and started it again.
But as I started this time, it totally skips the little film at the beginning and goes straight into the big "The Sims 2 Free Time" screen where its loading, and it stops about 1/3 of the way on "Predicating Predestined Paths" and it comes up saying "So and so has crashed, this programme with now terminate." So there was me thinking it was a one off, started it again, and it carried on. So I looked for a patch, got it and downloaded it. Tried again, not working. So I uninstalled IKEA, still not working, so I then uninstalled and reinstalled FreeTime, still not working. I then got rid of all my custom content, added a little bit, it worked, added a little bit, it worked again...until I had added it all, and it was fine. So after spending what seems ages on fixing this, I went and reinstalled IKEA, bad idea, cause it did it again (wishful thinking). So I uninstalled it and still didnt work, and then I just installed the whole of the game.
Ive just picked Nightlife, Business, Bon Voyage, Holiday stuff, glamour, free time and IKEA from all my games to install. I installed them all, checked everything and it still stops at that "Predicating Predestined Paths".
Ive also looked online and saw on MTS2 that Lord Darcy has made a IKEA Home Stuff Objects Fix - Missing FT Functions Enabled download, which I had got, downloaded and installed it properly, although wouldnt I have to get onto my game to enable custom content??
Im just so confused and Ive tried everything I know.
Fingers crossed!
Thankies!

Wow!!!
Very nice thankyou!! :worship:

Thankyou very much!!
Its been driving my nuts!! =]

Hello All!
Right so my seasons go like this: Spring, summer, autumn, winter.
So say for example, my whole neighbourhood is now onto the autumn season, and I want a family of mine to move house into a new one that Ive made, and when I enter it the house is in spring, which kind of messes it all up because my families are getting ready for trick or treat and Im putting all the decorations in the gardens.
Well, I was wondering if anyone knew of a mod that someone has made or something that you could download so that you can change the season in that particular house?
If not then its ok but its just the little annyoing things that get me lol
Thankyou :angel:

Omg I know!! Its horrid!! I was looking at their faces thinking wtf??!! And the houses kind of look like the ones from TS1 from afar!!....But yeh back to their faces, I was disappointed by that!! Our sims now in TS2 look more realistic then the new ones!! :smt119:

I love The Sims 2 too much, I have all my familes here who Ive grown attatched to...Im not ready to let go yet. Then theres the money and time spent on the sims 2, only to go and throw it away, I never had The Sims1, my sister did, so this has been the only one for me, and Im still learning stuff. It only seems a while ago The Sims 2 first came out and then all the expansions and stuff packs came out with all the CC and mods, and now the next one is about to come out??....I want The Sims 3 but not now thats for sure. =]

I always use the L and something tombstone from Insimentor to change them into toddlers. Its under age baby and it takes its time but always does it if thats what you mean. =]

On my old laptop I had a famly where their son went to college, got engaged to a maxis sim, but she really bugged me so before he left college to go back to his house he broke up with her. When he got home he met his neighbour that had moved in while he was away, and they soon fell in love, she moved in and they were engaged to be married. So the wedding was going great it was a roof raiser. And the next thing I know, the ex has walked into the backgarden and shes shouting at him...and Im trying to keep everyone happy and she just wouldnt stop. Then the bride (who by now is very pissed off) attacks the ex, wins and the ex leaves...the party ends in a disaster...and the bride wont stop crying...her husband tried to keep her happy but it was horrible!!...So now when one of my sims get married and their ex decides to come along...I quickly delete them...
I love all your stories...its weird how the game works sometimes.

Thankyou Thankyou!!

OMG!! I LOVE THEM!!...Dont hit kids...no seriously they have guns now!!! Love it!! Great work!

Im called Catherine lol!!
Just thought Id say!!

Thankyou Pegasus Diana!

Hi, a download manager? I have Sims2Pack CleanInstaller but thats all I really use. If it is what I need to uninstall it how do I do it??...Its just even in the folder there is no mesh in there. Winrar and Winzip unzipped the folder but there is no mesh in there because its a corrupt file, just an empty folder. Thanks for helping me out btw. I really appreciate it.

Yeh I have around 5 times now, but whenever I unzip it it says its a corrupt file, and nothing is in the folder afterwards....= S

Hi I just want to say Im sorry cause I dont know where to put this.
I recently asked a WCIF question for a dress that I have been looking for, and scalad helped me find my dress and she gave me the link and the website for the mesh.  Which I then downloaded into my Downloads folder.
Anyways I went onto game and the dress was a Maxis dress which of course means that it didnt work and something is wrong with the mesh (correct me if Im wrong). So I re-downloaded the mesh, still nothing. So I asked Vitasims if they knew if there was anything wrong with the dress, no there wasnt and she gave me the link back to the mesh which is here
So I re-downloaded it again and used Winrar instead of winzip, and it comes up saying its a corrupt file. And when its extracted, I go to look in the folder and nothing is there. So Ive been wanting to ask the website owner for some help, but the site is in German, I tried translating the page but I cant ask the person for any help. So if anyone could please help me like either downloading it themselves and sending it to me(if thats possible) or if someone who speaks German could please help me, I would be so thankful!!
I have to go now seeing as its time for bed but please help me!!
