Due to the discussions on TS3 with Securom and in-game ads I have played TS2 again.   

And made a big mess: I accidentally clicked on Adoption Service and there is no cancel or stop or abort. Any other stupid action involves confirmation and/or cancellation options. Not this one.

Tomorrow comes and the baby is there - but I don't want it. I've tried building a wall, a fence, gong to work, but this "service" just drops the baby off and leaves.

And to top it off I exited with saving instead of reverting to the previous save.

How can I cancel this process, other than accepting delivery and committing suicide? But this leaves the associated bad memories etc.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm back to playing Sims2. After downloading some new stuff I wanted to create some new Sims and found it very irritating that whenever I want any custom outfits or skins or clothes the right side of the screen is empty, but the centre windows are blocking the Sim.

I'm attaching a screen shot to show what I'm talking about.

Is there any way to move the windows to the right so they don't block the Sim?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi,

I hope someone will be able to point me in the right direction, as I am having trouble seeing changes in my Sim when using the in-game CAS.

Somehow, the controls get in the way and I can't see what changes I am making. I can't move them more to the right, even though there's plenty of space there.

With my resolution, the controls are in the middle of the screen and the mirror is on the left. There is precious little space left for the Sim and the various outfits. I've tried zooming out and even installed custom CAS setup's, but the controls are always in the way, blocking half the body, except, of course, in the close-up shots of head, hair, etc.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi,

I am cleaning up, so I've emptied the Downloads and am putting them back one by one to see what is what. Trying each dress/shirt/skin takes a lot of time as SIMs takes ~52 secs + Neighboorhood ~18 secs + CAS ~20 secs. a waste of time and tedious. So I'm looking for a way to start the CAS/CAF directly. I have just learned from a different thread here that I have a separate Bodyshop, but this also takes a long time and has a terrible interface.

I've tried searching for a way to start the Create a Family/Create a Sim interface without starting the game itself.

Any idea whether this is possible? If yes: how?

Oh, before I forget: I've tried previewing in SIMPE, Clean Installer and Delphy's Organiser, but can't get a full body view to judge the effect of a skin/clothing.

Thanks for trying......:smt120

When joining a family member or several members from the Neighbourhood screen, they get inserted into the thumbnails in some order. I want to change that, so that Sim1 comes above Sim2 above Sim3 and not the other way around.

This also happens when I create an entire family and the order is somehow wrong. I tried searching for this and came up blank. I played with SimPE and could not work out a way of doing this.

Can I somehow change the order of family members or rather their thumbnails?

Any pointers - or am I missing the obvious?

Thanks
