Title: Downloaded Sim won't show up Post by: Frog_Man on February 22, 2007, 11:14:16 pm I was sent a 'Sim' by someone (I can't say whose it is, so she doesn't get asked by others) and it didn't work. (it brought me to a 'coded' message, with strange symbols, etc)
So she said to use FlashGET, so I did. I opened FlashGET, and WALA! it brought me to the .rar (http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/8629/nosimai8.png) I opened the .rar and it brought me to the .Sims2Pack, which opened easily, so I installed to Downloads folder. I opened Bodyshop, he wasn't there. I closed Bodyshop, reinstalled to Downloads, AND EVEN TO SavedSims FOLDER, and opened Bodyshop.

Title: Downloaded Sim won't show up Post by: veash on February 22, 2007, 11:48:59 pm I get that with fresh CC once in awhile. Sometimes it shows up after rebooting and sometimes it doesn't. If it was a problem with different ep's like Pets vs no Pets, it should have given you a message about not having the required EP.
Title: Downloaded Sim won't show up Post by: Frog_Man on February 22, 2007, 11:57:20 pm It lets me download it, but he just doesn't show up, it doesn't say 'Error' or anything, it acts like it works, but it doesn't show. I'll try rebooting.
EDIT: Nope, sorry (man, it was faster than I thought lol) Title: Downloaded Sim won't show up Post by: veash on February 23, 2007, 12:11:05 am It was worth a shot. I never have figured out where that CC goes when it installs and doesn't show up.

Title: Downloaded Sim won't show up Post by: BeosBoxBoy on February 23, 2007, 03:15:25 am Frog_Man - odds are this Sim was made with the bugged-out version of Body Shop that ships with the Pets Expansion Pack. If you extract the Sims2Pack and look at the Property Set (GZPS) of the face meshes in 363e827e_820cb4b9.package you may see parts (dtUInteger) = data, but no outfit (dtUInteger) = data. If this is the case use the method in this tutorial (http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=27827) to add that data and the Sim should work.
If the outfit (dtUInteger) = data is already present, then it may be that the Sim is a Young Adult and will only show up in the University Create-a-Student. Check in the Age Data (AGED) area of the file and look for age (dtUInteger) = 0x00000040 - then this is most likely a Young Adult. Hope this info gets your download working. Title: Downloaded Sim won't show up Post by: Frog_Man on February 23, 2007, 10:21:35 am How am I supposed to get it into SimPE? (I just downloaded it)
And don't think he is a young adult, because when I go into Bodyshop, it shows ALL of the downloaded sims (age/gender doesn't matter) but he isn't there at all. EDIT: This is what I get through the File-> Open... way (http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/92/errormx6.png) Title: Downloaded Sim won't show up Post by: BeosBoxBoy on February 23, 2007, 10:33:20 am well ... Frog_Man, one assumes you have .NET 2.0 framework installed and there is a shortcut icon in yout All Programmes folder
