HA! I knew my Sims have seasonal allergies! This proves it.
I don't think you can give them allergies. It just happens- during certain seasons some sims with sneeze, some more than others, but you never get the pop-up saying they're sick. It took me a bit to realize it was allergies.

The Wishing Well is given to you by the Garden Club if you score high enough.

This one's my favorite tutorial:
How To Extract Born In Game Sims Easily.

My personal opinion is to go with NVidia cards. On my old system I had an old NVidia 5200 and on my new system I have a Radeon 9250. My graphics were SO much better with the old NVidia. I want it back... my hubby, who uses my old system now, won't give it up! When I have some extra money I'm going to change to an NVidia card.

Sorry, but ATI Radeon sucks!

My game has been doing the same with girls. Out of about every 10-15 sim pregnancies I might get one boy.

I wish I could help- but I have no idea.
I'm guessing that your best bet would be to ask on the SimPE forums. Although, someone may swoop in and answer... *looks around*

Is there a Computer Renasance (sp) store near you? If so ask them if they do the custom built gaming computers? The one here does and I got a kick-butt system for $399.00! And, yes- it's all new- not used or refurbed.

From the neighborhood screen
1- Click on your Lots and Houses Icon
2- Then click on the lot you want to package to open the information window.
3- On the side of the info window are 2 icons. The bottom one is an arrow with an astrik (star)- that is the Package Lot icon. Click on it.
4- Another window opens- choose Package Lot To a File.
5- The lot can now be found in your Packaged Lots folder- which can be found in the same place you find your Downloads folder.
6- Now you .zip or .rar it and then follow InSIM's uploading rules.

Hope this helps.

My first ever sim (Sims 1) was Jude Moonwind. He married and had lots of kids. The only kid's name that I remember is Sunshine and that's because I forgot her in the pool and she drowned. She was also my first ever ghost sim.

My large family's quadrulplets just became teens! YAY!

Thanks! I lost that hair when I got my new 'puter and I couldn't remember where I'd DL'ed it from!

Edit: oh... too bad it isn't there anymore.

Do you have some sort of cheat that allows more than 8 sims on a lot? The standard game limit is 8 sims per lot. Without a cheat the game *should* stop you from exceeding that limit.

I'm guessing your problem lies with whatever is allowing you to have more than the set game limit and not with the Trips & Quads mod.

What I had wasn't just a pretty mailbox- it was a mailbox hack. In a way it was kind of nifty- click on the mailbox and it would give you all kinds of options like "Make Everyone Your Friend", etc. It also messed up my game.

What graphics card do you have and how old is it?
Perhaps it's buggered and you need a new one?

Try using Sims 2 Clean Installer to scan your downloads folder. Hacks 'n stuff will be highlighted in red. If you have any all you have to do is right-click on it in the list and choose Delete and it will remove it for you.

I got that darned Mailbox hack from something I downloaded from MTS2 once. Don't know which item it came with but it still haunts me when I bring my old DL's back from my back-up discs. GRRR!!!

Also, getting hit with water balloons drops their temp.
(forgot that- sorry)
