I had to take out my downloads folder and then I could get BV to load up the first time.  Then I closed it and put my downloads folder back in and it worked.  Now and again when I add something BV won't start up, and I have to once again start it up w/o my downloads, then I can close it and restart with the downloads.  I don't know what the problem is, but you might have been able to play it w/o downloads or by taking them out and then putting them back in.


Oh, and it doesn't actually make you play online.

Please let me know too if you ever find a hairstyle to fit.  I'm a big fan as well.  And now I get to have him in my game -- woo hoo!

I have dual 256 NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GS cards on my laptop, which is the computer I play Sims 2 on with all expansion packs, and I'm pretty sure it's a wonderful graphics card.  I'm really happy with them and the performance.

I noticed the water problem when I tried to make a pond in a lot that was on higher (much) ground than the coastal area, and it turned the entire (large) lot into a mess.  The ground had to go a long way down from the sidewalk, there was no place to actually build a house, and I would have had to level a large piece and use tons and tons of stairs to go down far enough to get to the pond.  It was just bad.  So yeah, when you have a coast, and BV, ponds become a challenge.

Very nice -- I like this one alot!  It's just so hard to find good looking male sims, I think.  They all look so feminine or have so much cc that they look wrong somehow.  Not this one!  Thank you!

AngelBaby -- Jensen!!!  Or Dean!  Yay -- he's so hot.  :-)

Surprisingly this is my second favorite expansion!  (My fav is Open for Business.)  Pets -- my least favorite.  I adore animals, love my dog dearly, but Pets adds nothing to my game for me personally.

I'm throwing in my thanks as well!

dlb4hee -- same here.  Never posted before.  But I had to because... well, the first (AND ONLY!) time a satellite has ever come down and killed one of my sims, was the time I spent HOURS designing one to look as close as possible to myself.

And I use stargaze and gaze at the clouds *all the time.*  

This is a really funny thread.

Oh, and after I got Seasons, well, I didn't know a Sim could catch on fire in the hottub.  I left to go check on food cooking (because unlike the Sims I actually remember that I'm cooking), and a visiting Sim apparently burned down *hours* of work on my favorite house.

Sigh

Thanks so much -- they look delicious!  ;-)
