I had several different colors of the kids stove in my game but when I loaded FT they didn't show up.  The only one there is the original one by Maxis.  I went and downloaded several new recolors and put them in my game but they aren't showing up either.  Has anyone else had this type of problem?  All my other CC is showing at least as far as I know.  The only other thing is that certain items when I click on the to change with the item button it tells me they can't be designed.  These items include stoves, trash compactors and dishwashers.  The CC I have for these is still there though.  I just have to actually remove and one and replace it with a different color.  
Any help here would be appreciated.:happy8:

How To Copy Sims Files To CD or DVD?

I am going to reformating my computer and want to save my downloads safely to a disk. I have attempted to save my DBPF package files to both a CD and a DVD. It tells me windows has encountered a problem with copying the file. Why is this and how do I save them?  I do have them on an external drive but I wanted to be double sure not to lose any. I also wanted to copy some of them to my husbands computer so I can play in there.
I appreciate any help anyone has as I am confused::smilieiforgetwhi::

I was wondering if someone could tell me what would be causing my game to slow down on larger lots.  It happened suddenly, everything was working great and then all of a sudden I went to play a larger lot and it makes everything move very slow, my sims the time and so on.  I am playing on a 2.80 GHz petium 4 computer with 2.25 GB ramI have plenty of harddrive space on the drive I have the Sims loaded on (which is an external drive) I have 252 GB of free space.  On my main C drive I have 63 GB of free space.  I don't know if I should clean out my downloads folder or what?  I have a lot of downloads but most people do.  Also I didn't just get the downloads all of a sudden, they have been there for a long time.  I add each week of course. Though I haven't recently added tons or anything.  I have 12.2 GB in my download folder. It started acting like this after I loaded H&M, though I am not sure that it was right after.  Could it be a certain item that is very heavy, like with poly counts or something. I have tried playing in two larger houses one is the large Maxis family in Riverblossom.  Both larger houses play so slow it is no fun to play.  Any help would be appreciated.

All of a sudden, since Seasons, my game has crashed on me, several times in womens pj's and tonight when I went to go into a community lot on University.  I was in lots and houses and wanted to go into the student center to edit it and it crashed.  I am not sure in Sims 2 how to check the skins for a bad one and why would a lot made by Maxis crash my game trying to go in to just edit it?  I have never been in there before in this neighborhood, this is in Riverblossom.

I have the latest Insim 2.6b and moniques updated computer, the phone hack, updated and the college adjuster. Other then that in my game I only have the multi painting and no-empty potty.  I have all EP's and fun stuff and glamor life.  I do not have the holiday fun pack.

If some one could help me figure out how to check my skins and tell me what could cause the lot to crash, I'd appreciate it.  :smile: :worship:
