Inside your Sims 2 folder,try deleting your groups.cache and inside the Thumbnails Folder, delete all of those files.

The game makes new ones when you start it up again.

You know, I have quite a bit of these, too. I only have five or six of them, but I know exactly what they are. I just figured there was a glitch when they uploaded, so I just figured that's how they were going to be. But, I will try your suggestion, too, EK.

If it's just a few, you can also Ctrl + right-click those icons in the game while in Buy/Build Mode... that is, if you're one that's not into waiting for the catalogs to load.  Personally, I'd go with Ed's suggestion.  ;)

Then, try Tenshii's suggestion: Ctrl and right click, when in buy or build mode.

Do you have the appropriate meshes for those objects?  If not, you may want to make sure you do.  Or if you do, try redownloading them and see what happens.  :angel:

:shock:  Yikes... well, you may want to try either this tricky method (http://www.sims2wiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Corrupted_Objects.package), or re-installation... there's a possibility that you had a "bad" install if you've just installed either the base game or a new EP recently.  :?

Just be sure to back up ALL of your Sims 2 files before doing either.  ;)

Wow. Mine still don't work, lol. Mine are custom. Weird. Oh well, I've lived with them for too long without pics. Like I said, by now, I know what they are, lol.
