Does anyone here know of any tutorials on how to use Paint to combine pictures from the storytelling folder into one picture?  Like a collage of pictures?  I have tried the help files in Paint, but can't seem to find anything explaining how to do it.

I tried doing a search on these forums before I posted this question, but couldn't find an answer.  If it's in the wrong forum then please move it to the correct forum.  If this topic has already been posted, could someone please give me a link to the post?

I really appreciate any help.  Thanks in advance.

LittleRed, when you get your new Nvidia card, you will be able to see the fish and the x-ray (snow) cursor, etc.  I only have an Nvidia 6600 GT and I can see all of those things now.   But, I do still get the blue screen occasionally and I did go and check to see if I had the latest drivers installed and I do.  I also went to a place that's supposed to be able to check your computer to see if it will play the game (you pick which game from a list) and it said I had more than enough of everything.  It's not cc as it happened when my folder was removed as well.  As I said earlier, Nvidia is working on it apparently.  Some Nvidia people don't have a problem, others do.

I have this problem as well and I have read about this problem at many different Sims2 websites, include EA's bbs.  According to a post at EA's tech forum, this is happening with many Nvidia cards, and Nvidia is trying to fix the problem.  From nicky689's post, I get the impression that perhaps they have.  I'll have to check to see if my driver needs updating, but I did update it as soon as I installed Seasons (about a week after it came out) so I am not sure there is a newer driver available.  Good luck!

Thank you, you are a lifesaver.  I love the gardening aspect of Seasons, but was extremely annoyed by the length of time it takes to talk to each individual tree/plant.  What could Maxis have been thinking?!

I wonder if the problem is actually Pets.  I say this because I only have Uni, NL and OFB but since I updated my Nvidia drivers, I keep getting the blue screen after playing for awhile.  It won't actually crash my game as long as I don't try to do anything at all and just sit there for 4 or 5 minutes while the timer is turning then it finally comes back without crashing.  The longer I play, the more likely it is to happen so after it happens 2 or 3 times, I have to quit then restart.

Maybe it's just Nvidia's most current drivers.  I'll put my older Nvidia drivers back and see if it's still doing it.  I'll try to remember to let you know.

Hi, I think you probably was J.M. Pescado's hack called, "LessWhiny".  There is another one called "DontWaveAtMe"  they are pretty similar.

I'll put the link to MATY here:

Hopefully you will find what you are looking for.  Isn't it annoying when they do that!

Thank you so much for making these.  I used to have them in my game and after installing cc (not from here) that messed it up I completely uninstalled/reinstalled.  I didn't remember all my hacks at first, but now that several are pregnant, I remembered it.  This will save my sanity!
