edit:
ATTENTION!!
I FOUND A WAY TO GO AROUND THIS PROBLEM. please see the end of this post.
---
there's something wrong with my game...
when i go to any store in any neighborhood and click the clothes rack to buy clothes for my sims, no matter which sim goes shopping regardless of the house or neighborhood, the "buy" action icon disappears almost instantly... [even when the game is paused or the sim is standing right in front of the rack!!] so i cant buy clothes, but i can buy electronics, etc.
all, except clothes...
please heeeelp ;_; i just installed seasons and some of their outerwear do not go well with summer. XD and im getting bored of their wearing the same clothes everyday...
(edit from the original post): the buy option DOES exist after i click on the clothes rack. and the "browse" option doesnt. what gives?
this is a list of the items i have in my downloads folder.
- censor
- timeglass (i cloned and modified the elixir of life to be able to be sold in buy mode using SimPE xD) [removed]
(except it doesnt do what i want it to. like the rejuvenator.)
- TS2Rejuvenator [removed]
- insimenator v2.9, object edition [wish i could keep it. its so useful D=.. will try removing this to see what happens]
- 2 eye package files and 1 babydoll [both worked fine before this problem]
there's a "downloads" folder inside my downloads folder...
inside there are "mods" and "clothing" folders...
basically, to make the sims 2 seem more real without the censor and nude skins and meshes. [that reminds me. i meant to uninstall that male mesh ages ago.. ¬¬- its kind of embarrassing XD -- edit: removed. game hasnt gone h-bomb on me yet =p]
[they're basically the super nude patch, i think]
then there's a folder, "Config", which i doubt has anything to do with anything.
it has a file named userStartup.cheat. [can i mod this to put that boolprop testingcheatsenabled mod to true instead of me having to type it all the time i open the game? i always forget to do it in the neighborhood... lol]
and thats basically it.
ah
im running windows vista, and all ep's except the last 3 [BV, FT and AL]
another thing.
this problem happened earlier this week. i dont remember if it was before or after installing insimenator, but i'd like to keep that if anything else.
and also, it'd give an error asking if i should reset or delete.
if i clicked delete, my sim would get deleted...
edit: this is no-longer the case by the way.
the problem is now the one above this =p
the command simply fades away without the sim even considering doing it...
THEY DONT EVEN CONSIDER BUYING!! -cries heavily-
edit: i found a way to work around this
but its not very realistic in the way that u HAVE to go to town to buy stuff...
go here.
http://linna.modthesims2.com/download.php?t=64137its Monique's computer mod. =] its not a global object, so it should come in handy either way and not disrupt your game if you change your mind later.
AND you don't have to leave home. =D save gas in your car to go to work or whatever.
there's also the magic coat hanger xD [not my monique, i think] but it isnt very realistic. (since the clothes are free.)
(... nothing about the sims is realistic. but eh xD)
the coat hanger isnt really magic, but it acts like a clothes rack in a store as well as your normal every-day wardrobe.
im not searching for it tho, unless someone asks me to =p
toodles.
