My Sims cannot study any of the new things on the bookcase.  I tell them to study one of those new items and they take the book out, sit down and then jump up like they had been shot out of a cannon and the book is gone.  They did that when Free Time came out and parenting was one of the things to study but when the renewed Monique's computer was released that cured the problem and they could study parenting.  Now I have the updated computers and my Sims still can't study fire prevention, etc.  I'm thinking it is probably two downloads I have that I have tried repeatedly to get rid of and cannot locate them in the downloads.  They are Wintermuel's mailbox and newspaper hacks.  They show up in red when I start my game, but are apparently listed in some obscure way in the downloads themselves so I can't locate them to get rid of them.  Can anyone tell me how to find them and take them out because they don't seem to be doing any good.  Any remarks or help would be appreciated.

Is there any way to make the transitioning of pets a little less traumatic.  My pets are loved members of the family and when the Grim Reaper comes I'd like him to be turned into a beautiful angel, or at least have a few hula girls there to welcome them into the afterlife.

I was just wondering if the individual who updated Monique's computer for Free Time is working on an update for Apartment Life; and if so, if anyone has any idea when it might be available.  It is one of the three thing I use most in my Sims homes.  The Free Time one still works but I am having the same problems in Apartment Life that I had in Free Time before the update became available here at InSimenator.  So I'm hope an update again would solve my little difficulties.  I know these things take time, and I am certainly not one to complain because I appreciate so much all the had work that goes into these downloads that I use so gratefully; and I am not capable of making any of these things.  So thanks to all of you who share so generously!

I haven't had very many of my Sims in apartments just yet, and the first one just had the rent come due.  When I went to the mailbox to pay the rent there was no option to do so.  I thought, ah ha, when the new revamped InSimenator becomes available that will fix the problem.  Imagine my disappoinment when I found out that wasn't the difficulty.  I still can't pay my rent, so suppose I'm simply going to have to have my law-abiding Simmies skip town in the middle of the night without paying their rent.  (Don't know if you can even do that!)  Has anyone else had this problem and found out what the problem was.  I wonder if it is Monique's computer updated by someone on this site.  Do I need to take it out until it has been updated?  I certainly hope not because I use it in every home I have.  Any words of wisdom would be appreciated.  :?

Okay, I give up.  I see ACR mentioned as a wonderful hack, but  I don't think I've ever heard of it.  What is it, what does it do and where would I get it if I decide I can't live without it?:tongue8:

I have a birthday coming very soon and think I may very likely get Apartment Life as a gift.  The thing is, I'm not certain I want it.  Witches don't do a thing for me (would never use them), and the apartment idea doesn't overly float my boat either.  On the flip side, I have all the other expansion packs and fun packs, even from Sims1 and this is more than likely the final expansion pack for Sims2.  If you don't have it, you will be limited as to the downloads you can use.  (Is that important?)  I could do without most of my hacks (would't be happy, but I could manage) except InSimenator, multi painting and Monique's computer as updated by someone else the last time.  If those 3 things don't work, I think I'll pass on Apartment Life.  Does anyone have any words of advice or suggestions?

I think I may have lost my mind, but I was certain that I saw a download for an undate of Monique's computer done by someone connected with this site.  Unfortunately I did't have time to do anything about it at that time, and now I can't seem to locate it.  Monique's computer has been part of my Sim game play for a long time so would love to have the update.  Am I losing it, or is it here somewhere and I just can't find it?  Thanks for your help!!!

I just bought a new computer because my old one just didn't cut it with Bon Voyage.  Now I need to know if I still need to download the CEP thing and if so, where do I find it?  One of the trees provided with Sims2 also flashes blue as downloads do when they are not supported by the game.  Any ideas about that?  The last really annoying thing is that I had four groups of young people in college in downloaded dorms.  Unfortunately I had to wait and put University back on last after I had played the game a little while because I had to locate it.  Now my students are all in the people bin, but not in the "college bin".  Even though my downloads are all in the rest of the game my downloaded dorms are gone.  Is there any way I can retrieve these things and graduate my students?:sad4:

I'm sorry if I'm simply being obtuse, but I can't figure out what the difference is in the 3 different InSIMenator downloads is and which one I should download.  I have all eps and fun packs.  So which one is the best one for me (and I would really like to know why).

Since installing Seasons when my Sims go to college a good bit of the time they can neither write a term paper or do an assignment.  I put them to work at either chore; they start out great but before they are finished they get up and walk off.  The option to finish the term paper or start a new one never comes up and they get no credit for the work they did.  So the only way I can get my grades up is through research.  Has anyone else had a similar problem?  Do you have any idea what I might be able to do to get it to work right?
