Wouldn't it be awesome to be able to highlight an area and move the whole area over. I've made so many houses and had to tear down half of it and rebuild it because it was one grid too short or long. I've been waiting for something like that forever. I'm not the only one neurotic enough to be bothered by a non symmetrical lot am I?

So...I just installed Free Time. I dismissed the nanny she picked up my toddler and got in the van with him. He was removed from my selectable sim menu. I exited the lot and returned. My toddler was back but i couldn't select him and no interactions were going through. Like he was untouchable. I deleted him, exited the lot and reentered and the same thing happened again. I tried using the move_objects on cheat and putting him inside the house and in his crib but still nothing. He will cry and cry but none of my sims can interact with him. Is there anyway to get my toddler back?

I've just been deleting him and playing my game without him. He has a twin sister and I didn't want the social worker to come and take her too. It's very upsetting.

I recently got a new computer with the new IE. I normally use firefox and on my old computer I used IE just for downloading sims content. IE used to allow me to save the file in whatever folder I specified then i would extract file in folder with winrar. Easy as pie. Now IE saves the file and immediately opens in winwar. I tried changing my download settings in firefox to always ask where to save downloads, but it didn't allow me to save in the specified folder. I had to open in winrar. What is the easiest way to save and categorize your downloads? I'm going nuts here.

Okay, when i started downloading,  i didnt think id download alot...so i did the stupid thing and didnt really classify things. now that my game is crashing i want to categorize them correctly and disable the clothing cuz i think thats whats causing the problem. is there any type of program that will categorize the downloads into the proper folders?

i want to keep the eye skin make up and hair. plus hacked items which are working fine. im pretty sure its crashing because it was running fine until i went to buy clothes. then the Everyday option in the Plan outfit menu dissapeared.

im thinking i might be able to use the clean install pack some how but im so overwhelmed. any tips?

I read through quite a bit of them but I have unanswered questions. First I'll explain whats happening. I haven't tried any other lots because I'm sure this one is the problem. I have a particular lot which i just played last night and purchased some new outfits i downloaded. Afterwards, if i clicked on the dressers the Plan Outfit option had everything except "Everyday". I have a hacked shopping rack that lets you buy clothes, then kicks in to the plan outfit option right after and that still worked so i was able to change outfits. I finished playing and when i tried loading the game tonight the typical application terminating box comes up.

I've read about deleting the groups.cache(i think thats what its called) and it did nothing. I have quite abit of custom content, I saw a post that said to take out what was downloaded more recently so ill probably try that.

I'm worried that if i move a folder with downloads that my sim is using (such as hair i downloaded or worse, custom eyes that i cant just select from "change appearance") since that hair is no longer available, what will happen to my sim? will it dissapear when i reload the game? or will the hair just set back to a maxis default.


I'm sorry if i could have found these answers by searching posts but i promise i really did look..there were just so many yet no one said what happens to sims after content is deleted or moved.
