Title: I just don't understand... Post by: homerette on March 22, 2007, 04:33:41 pm It seems that about five pair of of maxis base game glasses are showing up as black, semi-transparent, square earrings. I assume those are UV maps, but I dont' know. Now, I know enough to know that this means there's a conflict with something I've downloaded, or something has corrupted. What I can't figure out is what that might be.
I've had Dr. Pixel's earring mesh, simchic's, and a few others for quite a bit now and nothing new is connecting with me. Actually, I first noticed this problem after I downloaded a self-sim for a contest on the sister site. Said self-sim dislayed with these earring placeholders instead of glasses. That was back in October or November. I didn't really worry about it, because I don't often go that far into glasses to get at maxis crap. But, now when I go to that particular page in CAS, the game crashes. It doesn't crash in bodyshop of course. Everything custom seems to display correctly and I've gotten rid of duplicate/empty packages using Clean Installer. Any suggestions? Or should I just remove all custom contest pertaining to accessories and try the one at a time method(something I have been studiously trying to avoid.) I have all expansions except holidays stuff, and the problem was extant before Pets and Season. Title: I just don't understand... Post by: BeosBoxBoy on March 23, 2007, 01:16:39 pm the change in the way the layers are handled after Pets and Seasons cause this. Many hairs and jewelery items I have never had any problem with before in thumbnailing now all look like giant blocks of colour - usually black.
This is a bug in the game & bodyshop - unless Maxis/EA fixes it, it ain't gonna get better. Title: I just don't understand... Post by: homerette on March 24, 2007, 12:19:20 am Thank you, BBB. I was kinda afraid of that. Oh well, who needs maxis' crappy glasses anyway? :P
