Aw, they're clothed... but still awesome (and I mean that literally: I am in awe of your talent).

Are we ever going to get the male centaurs?  I love your statues, but I can't quite bring myself to use shemales.

I have the same problem, except that the game does show up in Task Manager for a few minutes while the light on the CD/DVD drive flashes.  When I removed the entire Documents/.../Sims2 folder, the game failed to recreate the various subfolders and files, except for the logs folder.  There it generated twenty files, all of them 0 kb and empty of information.  This has happened after a half dozen reinstalls, including one fresh install of the whole thing (base game and all EP's).  My computer more than meets the minimum specs.  I've updated everything that can be updated, and even downloaded that stupid Safedisk thing Maxis recommends.  At this point the game cannot be played.  As I said in my tech support request to maxis, if this can't be resolved, it looks like I'm done playing Sims.

Same here, I have everything but Pets.  

I'm relieved to know I'm not alone.

Something very strange has happened.  One of the two folders is causing my game to crash.  It starts to load, gets up to "proscribing plebian palettes," and then it just crashes, with no error message, no MS reporting, nothing, just CTD.  It took me a while to figure out the cause, and I had a hard time believing it, but the only things that seem to cause the crash are these objects, though I'm not sure which one it is, since it takes twenty minutes for the game to load and by the time I narrowed it down to the two folders, I didn't have the heart to go through two more tests.  

So, am I the only one having such a problem?  It's a great shame, because they look really neat.
