Thanks so much...that helped! 

OK, so I will try my best to accurately describe what I am envisioning.
I am obsessed with Fallout 3, and what I would love to do is get rid of Strangetown, and turn it into the Capital Wasteland. So, I need to be able to get rid of all the people there, the houses, change the name, etc.
I just don't know how to go about doing this without destroying my game. I just reinstalled sims 2 after being disappointed by sims 3, and so there is not a whole lot that needs deleting. Do I just go to the folders and start deleting stuff, or how can this be done?

Thanks in advance!

I don't have awesomemod...

I went ahead and uninstalled sims 3, then reinstalled it without any mods or anything. I tried to go ahead with the update again, and it did the same thing. So for now I am just playing it without the new update or any mods until I can figure out what I am supposed to do.

I just downloaded the latest update, but now I can't get my game to start. It gets to the loading screen then just shuts off! I don't know what to do! Anyone else have this problem?

Ok, so I like the fact that everyone grows up and has a life while I am not playing them. In some aspects it makes things easier on me. However, the only problem I have with this, is whole families just up and leaving. I finally had Mortimer and Bella together and married, then they just up and disappeared...

Is there any way to just stop them from moving?

I read that, I was just hoping that someone would be working on something similar for TS3. *sigh* It's a pain in the backside without it, after you get so used to using it...

Anyone know if there is going to be something similar to it anytime soon? I just miss being able to do everything with one little machine, instead of typing out a million codes.
