I didn't mean it that way, I just thought it was cute. :toothy8:
Did you think of a name, yet?

And what's wrong with transgender sims, anyway?
I think, Claudia doesn't think anything of it, now does he?

But you can only delete in CAS, if you don't have Bon Voyage. And deleting clothes and genetics is faster in bodyshop.

But if you want to delete objects, just go into the catalog (the buy mode) and from there you can delete everything that has a * in the icon with the little bin at the right side under the items.

You're welcome.
You just made me giggle very joyfully.
That's a nice reward, thank you.

Maybe the baby hasn't decided, yet.
You could always give the kid a name that doesn't indicate the gender, like Alex or something like that. When it grows up, I guess you'll find out.

It depends on which EP's you have. With OfB it gets a little easier. Because you can have home businesses, you can place all kinds of furniture.

Without OfB I think the best way is to use a special collection. I don't know exactely where to find it, but there must be one on MTS2. After you put that in your collections folder, you can access the Maxis objects from there. I'm not a 100% sure, but I think, all custom objects are available everywhere. But that may very well depend on if for instance a bed is a clone from a Maxis bed or a completely new mesh.

The multiple package "extensions" are created when you install a sims2pack with clean installer and choose not to install into the default directory. The more people have done that before to that particular file, the longer the filename. Some people delete the "packages", but not everyone bothers (or knows).

It doesn't have to do with duplicate files, though. But still it's a good idea to check your downloads with clean installer every now and then for duplicates.

Yes.
When I install sims, I look over the names of the custom content. The most popular are already in my game and I know them by now. So I unclick them, because I know I already have them. The Clean installer asks to overwrite files, if they are already in the downloads folder. But if one has sorted ones stuff neatly in subfolders, duplicates ensue.

A little more information, please?
You use a hack or InSim or nothing at all (which of course won't work at all)?

Did you backup your old Pleasantview and put it in a save location and copied it to "...\EA Games\The Sims 2\Neighborhoods\N001" after you installed NL?
If you didn't do that, the game may have overwritten your hood. You can check said directory, but if you don't find anything there, it's gone.

I don't mean to be rude, but it would've helped to read the help section before installing a new EP, because this happens so often, the threads are full with it. Also, in the booklet of each EP there's a warning and while installing the EP you get another. If you weren't willing to heed those warnings, you now get to suffer the consequences.

It depends on if you use some kind of hack (I think there are several around), or if you use InSim to change clothes. In that case, you need to buy those clothes like any other clothes on a community lot or with any hacked dresser or coat rack. If the maternity wear is in underwear category, you can easily choose it, even after your sim's belly has grown just as any other outfits.

It's a spatial rift! You're lucky there seems to be an atmosphere on the other side or else...
Sorry, too much Star Trek.
Other than that I have no idea. Maybe it's a Maxis easter egg. :!:

I doubt that a simple clothing download is able to mess with your game (aside from the faulty pets bodyshop things). I rather think it's a hack or mod of some kind. But I guess, you know the drill: take out whatever downloads you suspect (or all of them) and try again.


Thanks. That's because I'm a perfectionist. I don't have the heart to say anything at all, until I know I'm able to say it right. That's really stupid sometimes, but I can't help it. I like languages, but English is more than that, it's my passion. Unfortunately, people around me don't get it and think I'm weird for reading, watching, thinking, gaming etc. in English and despising dubbed tv or movies. Well, I watch my series alone *shrug*. And I'm weird, anyway.:-P

Why, thank you, but English isn't even my native tongue (that's German). But even so I am fond of a nice British accent and sometimes mix up phrases.
Now, for my ranting about American lovemaking, I was just poking fun at the depiction of a culture by the media. It's kinda funny for me as European, but I didn't mean it in a bad way, so please don't beat me to death with a shovel. :-P

No. They really wear their undies while woohooing. You can see it by going into buy/build mode in the middle of it and use the design tool on the bed. As you know, it makes things transparent...
Also, there are some custom beds where the sims aren't covered correctly, those look very funny!


You might wanna take a look at the adult site of MTS2 or at XXXSims2 (pay). There are lots of possibilities...

I guess, we have to wait for Sims 3 (IF they deliver on their promises) until we can enjoy that kind of hilarity. Would be great, though. Lol.

I think, some of that may be included in that hack from dizzy. Haven't come around to test it, yet. But the inclination to be careless in undies or ashamed, that should be already implemented with the outgoing score. But alas...
It might be possible to do for a good modder, though. Which I'm not, sorry.


Edit: the physiologically correct mesh you referred to, might be crammboy's cock (recently also available for the ladies), that's the most convenient one. And then there are Warlokk's and Marvines meshes, that contribute a great deal for realistic enjoyment of the sims. Complete with good, realistic skintones.

That's exactely what I was saying.
But without a floppy drive that just might be a bit... complicated.

How did you use the Win98 boot disk if you have no floppy?
And how did you get the SATA drive to work without a disc (I didn't, I had to cannibalize my old pc for the damn floppy)?
And why doesn't the computer read a cd at all, when it's not bootable?

I didn't mean for you to install 98, but you can use the 98 disc to boot the pc and enable cd support and then it should read the not-bootable XP cd, if you go to the cd drive (I guess, it's D, unless you already gave that letter to a hd partition).

I am sorry if I didn't express myself properly in my second language...


Edit: Duh! With 'disc' you meant cd, right? Language problem. When we say 'disc', we mostly mean floppy disc and cd is cd.
So, you were able to use the 98 cd to format and partition, but not to install, right? Ok, now I'm getting it. I still wonder about the SATA hd, though...

ROFL. Are you usually the drunk that is horrified about last night's conquest or your respective partner?

Okay, for real now. I know, cause I've seen it in dozens of American movies and tv shows, that Americans seem to have sex in their underwear. All of them. Without exceptions. Like our European ancestors at the age of king Arthur did, who only lifted their nightgowns. When it was cold in winter and after Christianity was forced upon them. No more naked heathen dances in the forest, sigh.

Um, yes... I meant to say that while the normal sim sex in bed is still of the American variety with their undies on, there are also some custom ways to have sex and they usually don't ask, if they are allowed to wear their undies, but do it naked. Conveniently, afterwards they are mostly shocked about their own state of undress and get dressed so quickly, that they don't see their partner without clothes. But if one of them isn't quick enough, or whatever cause, the other has the shock reaction. Both options are unpleasant. Now, if strangers are at it outdoors, one may be shocked, but a married couple? Please!


Nope. Nonudereact is NOT about the embarrassment feature you'd like to see. But:

Sleepycat, what you posted seems to be just the thing I need! Thank you SO much! :worship:
At least it is for me. The other thing with the embarrassed mum in undies, now that might be a lot more difficult to implement.
